Stanley captain Sean Walley is asked by ITV’s Gabriel Clarke about the chances of him scoring at the Kop end. A wide smile immediately appeared on his face. “Yeah, I’d be happy to hear that,” Wally replied. Then, with a twinkle in his eye, he added: I have too many friends! ” He walked away laughing, dreaming of all the possibilities. That’s where the magic of the cup lies.

Accrington Stanley manager John Doolan told ITV. “I’m just excited… you can see their motivation… it’s a great day… we just want to go on… it’s special… the players who got us the three points last week are getting the shirts. Put… you can’t go about the emotions… (former Liverpool academy player Liam Coyle) is a great player and one day he will be on the pitch. I’m sure we’ll be able to stand up… We have to do our job professionally… Liverpool are a great team… We have to try to force our game on them… take care of the ball a little more… match them.

Arne Slot tells ITV. “Cup games aren’t that special in almost any other country…We all know cup games mean more than they actually are…It’s a special game for us…Many of the players in the starting lineup are for us We haven’t played much… We understand there’s a little more to come.” There’s more excitement in the away dressing room than in the home dressing room… But I think the players also want to prove a point. I’m hoping for…most of them haven’t played much lately…there aren’t many options…(Dominic) ) Szoboszlai was out with an illness…so we start him…Trent (Alexander-Arnold) because Conor (Bradley) came back with a hamstring injury and played two days ago. …So I didn’t think that was the cause. It’s the right thing to do to play with Conor again… It’s always special when a young player makes his debut… That’s why I have a smile on my face… Rio Ngmoja is not afraid to do what he does best. It’s…one on one.”
He has also asked about the return of David Moyes at the other end of Stanley Park. “It’s always a shame when a manager has to leave…I was a little surprised because[Sean Dyche]had some good results…nobody expected a couple of draws…but David Moyes was at Everton… He’s always been special because of what he did at West Ham…he had success at West Ham too…so it’s good to have him back…but someone who did very well in my opinion. It’s always a shame when someone is out of a job right now.”

Liverpool handed 16-year-old attacker Rio Ngmoha his debut. At 16 years and 135 days old, he becomes Liverpool’s youngest ever starter. Trent Alexander-Arnold has been given a chance to get back into form – to be fair, he was a decent sub in the League Cup semi-final against Spurs – but he also has contract negotiations to play. Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who were in charge, are both currently resting. Ngumoha’s inclusion ahead of Federico Chiesa on the bench may have raised some eyebrows, but the youngster was one of the Guardian’s next generation talents for 2024.
Accrington Stanley named their squad unchanged after their 2-0 win over Colchester United. Captain Sean Walley scored both goals in that match and another in Stanley’s last game, a 3-2 home win over Grimsby Town. Striker Josh Woods is a Liverpool supporter whose childhood idols were Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres.

This may sound a bit on the nose, but today is National Milk Day in the United States. The second national holiday after Thanksgiving, this day commemorates the day in 1878 when milk was first delivered in glass bottles sealed with wax paper, ensuring that American milk is of the highest quality. It is recognized as a celebration of the important role the U.S. Department of Agriculture has played in the United States. class. I can’t help but think that Accrington Stanley and the FA’s marketing staff have missed a trick with their official partners. Making America lactic again?

preamble
In the 1970s, almost all milk sales in the UK were handled by independent neighborhood milkmen. The friendly faces of dairy farms across the country, they made the rounds every morning in their carts, leaving pint bottles filled with delicious creamy goodness on every doorstep. The bottles were reusable and the milk cart was electric, making it an environmentally friendly system. wonderful! But now those days are gone. What did poor old Milky do? what happened to him? The big bullies of Sainsbury’s, Morrison’s, Tesco, Asda, Tesco Express and Sainsbury’s Saba Center have happened and now supermarkets and other stores account for 95% of milk sales. It accounts for more than So looking at this fondly remembered and oft-quoted old ad, several generations of calcium and microeconomics fans could be forgiven for innocently asking…
