  1. Ooooff, what's Dutch for 'goodnight'?
  2. I want to watch players who care about the club and give 100% every game. I want to care about the club again and be part of it again. I want to hope for better and to see the board and owner strive to make the club be as good as it possibly could be. The division this happens in is irrelevant to me, battling like fuck to get out of League 1 is far more preferable to the current status quo. At least I'll give a shit again.
  3. That says more about you than any LFC fan. First time I'll do this on here, but you're on a toon forum talking s*** about Keegan. You lack a working functioning brain. Loser? Hope Gerrard's slip haunts you every night. Why would it haunt me? I've been there for many, many trophies won, and a few lost, just one of those things. I'm quite happy just to read this thread, it always makes me laugh, but HTT saying Klopp was a modern day Keegan, ffs, I had to respond to that. Surely, lacking a 'working functioning brain' would have me agree with him, when, imo, that would be delusional as well. No because anyone who has a 'working functioning brain' could see what Keegan achieved here was phenomenal and can only be viewed as a success. Yes, he took your club forward for a while, if you regard that as success then fine. For me success would have been to stick at it and win something, but he didn't. Very different from Klopp, simple as. From the brink of relegation to Division 3 to the top 3 in the PL. I think everyone saw that as success. Not sure why you're here but you're coming across as a massive cunt.
  4. Fucking wall-pushing cunts. Fuck them.
  5. Genuinely don't give a fuck any longer. Staying up year on year has seen me so apathetic it's beyond belief, I still follow the club and the results but I don't care about it now, the emotion it used to stir in me, good and bad, has gone. When I bother to watch us I generally watch in silence, no celebrating goals, no anger about goals conceded - nothing. If staying up is going to mean this continues then fuck it, let's go down 2 or 3 divisions. At least I might care again, because the current state of play is fucking awful.
  6. It's no secret though that Krul is a walking serial injury these days. Should have been better prepared for that... unless that preparation was Karl Darlow. Lack of proper investment eventually comes back to haunt you though. Every single aspet of the club has been "that'll do" for so long that it's become accepted. Krul's ok, don't really need to replace him or give him competition so "that'll do". As long as it's not horrendous then it's tolerated, encouraged and accepted. "Just don't finish in the bottom 3" should be the new club motto. f*** them. Yep, they play the margins and this margin was only having one top flight goal keeper on the books. Oh how it has bitten them are the arse yet again. Bingo. Perfectly put. Neglect the squad and pay the price.

  8. Injuries happen unfortunately. There's no-one to blame but it's annoying when the only current fit keeper absolutely fucking dogshit. Cheap to buy + cheap to pay = losses when they're called upon. You reap what you sow.
  9. Whoa, whoa, steady on, he's not dead, he'll be fit again eventually. Why buy a replacement? Who do you think we are, Man City? We'll need to muddle through to August and wait for him to get fit.
  10. Would love to see someone hockle on that sign as they're passing it. Big fucking nasty greener dribbling down the badge. #FuckAnfield

    Allardyce and Sunderland are a good fit imo. The fans will respond to the ugly, gritty stuff they're about to get. Their heroes are Kevin Ball and John Kay ffs. As long as they get stuck in the fans will lap it up all day long.
  12. Scotland have the shotgun permanently aimed at their feet. That's ridiculous.
  13. He's far too good for them on every conceivable level. It's a disaster for football.

    I used that van to move my stuff out of my old flat. Sure it was the same one? 100% I could tell you the pub it's parked outside there The Marlborough. I'm scared now Don't be. I hear it's much better since Bess took over...

    Exactly this. They deserve each other.

    Steve McClaren

    Conceded 52 in 2015. The defence remains dreadful and prone to collapsing far too often imo. Been the same whether the manager has been Pardew, Carver or McClaren. None of them are good managers but that says it all about the mentality of the club. We're programmed to not compete. Despite what Ashley and his dickhead MD may say or think, you can't just turn that around overnight by spending a few quid for a change. This has been coming for years, and it's exactly what they deserve. Absolutely. I was just pointing out the fact that he's failed to organise a back four and we look no better for him taking over. Some managers walk into a club and can make them organised and disciplined within a few weeks, it happens loads. He walks into the club in June and we don't look any better and have the worst GD in the division. Yes the problems were there but he's failed to solve them.

    Steve McClaren

    Going to come under massive pressure now. Worst start to a season for decades, no wins, can't defend, collapse regularly, can't score more than once a game and he can't get them going. How long can you let it go on? He's new to the job and you want to give him a chance but how far adrift do you have to get before you bin him? It's still only 5 points and that's not insurmountable yet, especially with the run of fixtures coming up but he needs absolute bare minimum 4 points from the next 2 and even that means we'll still be in the relegation zone going into November. Had serious douts he was the right choing in the summer but was prepared to give him a shot. Not sure he can pull this round now, looking grim as fuck and he may as well hibernate if/when we lose the derby.

    Getting another 37 points from the remaining 30 fixtures looks like a bit of a long shot at this moment. Can't defend and struggle to score... There may be 3 worse teams but I'd be surprised.
