POOL, CUP, DONNY, DRAW, REPLAY, WOODWORK, WIN...TROPHY AND.....

Liverpool 1974? Quite a good club then? but on this day (Jan 5th) in an FA Cup Third Round tie, "Pool" had a scare, when Doncaster Rovers from the Football League Third Division, held "Pool" to a 2-2 draw. Over 22,000 watched Kevin Keegan score both Pool's goals against his home town team and Donny nearly score a winner in the final minutes when they hit to woodwork and then lost the replay at theirs. Liverpool needless to say, won the replay 2-0 and continued their success in the Cup winning the Final.

Kevin Keegan resigned from his managership at Newcastle on this day in 1997. He had been lured back to Newcastle from the Spanish golf courses in 1992 to help the Magpies save themselves from relegation to the Third Division. Kevin got the club promotion and nearly took the club to the brink of the Premier League title in 1995/6, then decided to leave St James' Park, not for the first time!

REED "SLOTS" TO UPSET SLOTT

Today, Harrison Reed scored for Fulham with an absolute pile driver to snatch a point from Liverpool in the Premier League. A delayed 15 minute kick off, due to a "medical emergency" at Craven Cottage, left the result from Craven Cottage hanging, while many clubs had already met their "fate". Liverpool had 58% of possession and 10 shots on goal against Fulham's 8. Liverpool had 559 passes to Fulham's 380...so Reed's crucial pass into the Liverpool goal came as a special New Year's present!

With a "depleted squad" due to injuries, Arne Slott made eight of his outfield starters play the full 90 minutes and he did not put a lot of trust into his "reserves".

On 8 August 2019, Reed was loaned out to Fulham for the 2019–20 season, and helped the team to promotion from the Championship. He made his debut in a 2–0 win against his former side Blackburn Rovers on 10 August 2019.

On 30 August 2020, Reed joined Fulham on a permanent basis for an undisclosed fee until the summer of 2024, with an option to extend by a further year. The transfer fee was reported to be £6million. On 16 September 2022, Reed scored his first goal for Fulham in a 3–2 victory over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. This was Fulham's first away victory of the season.

On 4 January 2026, Reed scored his first goal since April 2023, scoring a long-distance injury time goal at home against Liverpool; equalising the game 2-2.
