Scouser Tommies Reflect on Liverpool’s Premier League Title Win | OneFootball

Liverpool Champions Again – A Moment to Savour, A Message to the Premier League

Pinch-Me Moments and Premier League Realities

“Liverpool have won the league. Liverpool are the league champions.” For Jay Reid, those words still feel surreal. As he told Jim Boardman on the Scouser Tommies podcast, it’s not just about the tweets, the songs or the social media buzz—it’s the act of saying it aloud and truly believing it. “You have to sort of pinch yourself and make sure no one’s sort of playing a joke on you.”

This was more than just another Premier League triumph. It was history reclaimed. Reid reminded listeners of the distortion of legacy: “They tried to tag us with only two Premier Leagues like Leicester and Blackburn, but we’re the joined record holders for most league titles.” Football, as he passionately argued, did not begin in 1992.

Statement Win, Statement Season

Liverpool’s latest title was sealed with a flourish, not just mathematically confirmed by someone else’s misstep. Reid recalled the Anfield atmosphere as the Reds crushed Spurs: “We wanted a goal that becomes the winning goal. We definitely got that.”

He described a team finally let off the leash: “It was just freedom. The pressure valve had been fully released.” Alexis Mac Allister’s goal left him physically breathless: “It took me off my feet literally.” For Reid, this wasn’t just a professional win—it was a performance drenched in style, attitude, and affirmation.

Every key figure delivered. “Van Dijk and Konaté were cruising… could have robbed Darwin’s cigar and just smoked that through the game.” Salah’s impact was crowned with an iconic celebration: “He grabbed that phone and did a selfie… that’s iconic.” It was more than a win—it was a demonstration of power.

Scouse Mentality and Red Identity

This triumph also belonged to those living the club, not just playing for it. Jay reserved special praise for Harvey Elliott: “He’s 100% a red.” His wind-up of Richarlison, complete with a “30 years” gesture, was pure Liverpool theatre. “That cheeky Scouse scally mentality,” Jay called it, laughing.

Curtis Jones, too, deserved recognition: “He is just as much a Scouser as anyone else.” The connection to the fanbase, especially those who had never seen a league win in person, was a key theme. “It’s a day you’ll never forget,” Jim said. “It’s a day you’ll never forget,” Jay echoed.

Planning Ahead, Not Looking Back

For all the celebration, uncertainty looms over Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future. “He’s basically at the airport with his boarding pass in his hand which says Madrid on,” Reid quipped. Both agreed a delay in announcement is wise—“This week is about celebration.”

But Arne Slot has already earned the right to demand backing. “He’s built a masterpiece this season with another man’s tools,” Reid said. Liverpool’s title was delivered with minimal signings. “He should be knocking on the door of Michael Edwards,” Jay insisted, calling for reinforcements in attack, left-back, and midfield.

Reds Rising – And Painting the Town Red

Celebration wasn’t just emotional—it was visual. “We painted the town red,” said Reid, who noted a sea of red at Anfield. “85-90% had a red top on.” He called for more of the same against Arsenal and Palace: “Let’s make it a big red party.”

Merchandise jokes aside, it all contributes to identity. “If we can get that Slot song going in the last two games on the Kop, it’ll be an absolute scene,” Reid added.

With 20 league titles now level with Manchester United, Jay left listeners with a challenge: “They’re on our perch… we just need to give them a quick shuffle of the backside and knock them back off.”
