Waching daily Jan 5 2019

 Liverpool missed the opportunity to go ten points clear against Manchester City on Thursday night

 Billed as the biggest game of the Premier League season so far, the Reds arrived at the Etihad Stadium with an unbeaten record and, in the opinion of some, could have killed off the title race

 However, competition for the league title is still very much alive with the Citizens grabbing themselves a 2-1 victory

   It didn't arrive under easy circumstances, though, with Liverpool coming an agonising 1

12 centimetres away from taking the lead after John Stones' miraculous goal-line clearance

 That dramatic moment then paved the way for Sergio Aguero to fire City into the lead, beating Alisson Becker from what seemed an impossible angle

Man City 2-1 Liverpool  Fast forward to the second-half and Leroy Sane would eventually score the winner, sending the home support into delirium with a neat finish across goal

 In between those two strikes and Liverpool gave themselves hope through Roberto Firmino but it lasted for all of eight minutes

 So, for many, the Brazilian's diving header will simply go down in the history books as a consolation goal and momentary hope for the travelling support

Full build-up to Firmino's goal  However, new footage suggests that would be a gross injustice

 Although Liverpool fans were more than aware of the fantastic play between Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson, it was a much better team goal than many have remembered

 That's because an exhaustive clip of Liverpool's build-up to the goal has been posted on Twitter and regardless of the disappointing result, it has Kopites applauding the football

 It was, after all, the type of passing move that Pep Guardiola would have been proud of himself

 Appreciate Firmino's goal in all it's glory down below:    Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is passing football

 Starting with Jordan Henderson winning the ball in the right-back position, Liverpool were able to 'move around' their opponents with snappy build-up play

 Both full-backs deserve all the praise they were given for the goal but Fabinho was also instrumental, playing an outrageous long ball to Firmino that could have ruined the whole move

 However, not a single Liverpool player put a foot wrong and the Reds managed to tally up 14 passes before they found the back of the net

 At the end of the day, though, it wasn't enough to overcome the Citizens and they'll need to maintain they composure ahead of a relentless title race

 There's still five months to go and the final result is anybody's guest.  But regardless of the outcome, Liverpool's goal at the Etihad Stadium won't be any less brilliant

 Who do you think will win the league this season - City or Liverpool? Have your say in the comments section below

Daydreaming is weird - Duration: 5:47.

We all daydream to be in a situation that is

better than our current life.

We daydream about receiving awards.

We daydream about becoming famous.

We daydream about getting acceptance

and validation from our colleagues at work.

Sometimes we daydream about

being in a position so that

we can make fun of people who made fun of us.

The bullied wants to become the bully.

No other film captures

day-dreaming as well as The King of Comedy.

In this film,

Robert De Niro plays an aspiring comedian.

And he stalks Jerry Lewis,

who's a very famous and successful comedian.

De Niro begs Lewis to give him a chance to appear in his show.

And Lewis,

in order to get away from him,

tells him to contact his office.

De Niro goes back home, and day-dreams.

He is a big shot comedian now,

and is having lunch with Lewis,

who looks extremely anxious about something.

A fan comes by and takes De Niro's autograph

and completely ignores Lewis.

Then Lewis tells him that the ratings of his show are falling,

and he begs him to take over the show for a while

to improve the ratings.

De Niro tells him, in a dramatic fashion,

that he just can't do it because

he is so busy with so many other assignments

and there are so many important things he has to do.

So basically

De Niro day dreams about becoming so famous

that Lewis has to beg him to work with him.

The next day he goes over to Lewis's office

and says he wants to meet him.

Lewis is a busy man

and obviously has no time for a nobody like him.

So one of the staff members tells him to submit an audition tape

of his stand-up act,

and if they like it

they'll get back to him later.

She is just trying to be polite.

In reality she only wants to get rid of him.

He submits his audition tape,

goes back home, and daydreams:

Jerry Lewis has seen the audition tapes

and has completely fallen in love with De Niro's act.

So much so that he invites De Niro to his summer house

for a weekend stay

so that they can get together with some celebrity guests

and work on some material.

In reality

Jerry Lewis does not even look at his audition tapes,

and the next time De Niro goes to his office,

he is thrown out by the security.

In one of his daydreams,

De Niro, now a famous celebrity,

is called on the Jerry Lewis show.

And Jerry gives him a surprise

by announcing his marriage on the show.

In front of millions of viewers

De Niro gets married to his sweetheart.

It's a grand celebration with music

and lot of drama.

In fact day dreams always involve some kind of drama.

Daydreams fulfill the human desire for drama.

I have day dreamed all throughout my life.

I have day-dreamed about being the most popular kid at school.

I have day-dreamed about being the most popular kid in college.

I have day-dreamed about having a lot of wealth.

I have day dreamed about having a lot of fame.

I have day dreamed about being an inspiration to others.

And I have day dreamed about being a source of jealousy for others.

There are short-term daydreams

and there are long-term day-dreams.

In short-term day-dreams

you want to be the center of attention of something

that is attainable in the near future.

Like getting an award at your workplace

and being loved and respected and

congratulated by everyone around you.

In long-term day-dreams

you want to be the center of attention of something,

much larger than your current life,

that might be attainable in the far off future.

Like getting an international award

and being loved and respected and

congratulated by millions of humans all around the world.

You know, as a kid

I used to think that day-dreaming was a temporary feature.

Meaning you daydream about a few things you want in life,

and once you get those things

you stop daydreaming and live and relax and

enjoy the satisfaction of life.

But now I think, that I was wrong.

I think that day-dreaming is not just a means to an end

But it is a constant state of mind.

It never fucking ends.

I'm sure even if I become the richest,

most famous, most loved person in the world

I would still feel that something is missing from my life.

Maybe I'll day dream about getting a Nobel peace prize?

And when I get that maybe I'll day-dream about getting one more.

Day-dreaming is weird.

It makes your life a continuous stream of dissatisfaction,

with only occasional blips of feeling happy with what you have.
