Lyon v PSG right now.

It's pretty laughable how much a player can change under a decent manager. He's playing his best football in half a decade at 33. Henderson was going nowhere until Rodgers. Same could be said about a lot of their players.

Skrtl's heading off corners is unreal

NBC has Arlo White and Tim Howard. Yes. everton's. So weird.

Watching with my brother who's a Liverpool supporter. Hope they win.

Krul's mate did him in.

More depressing is just thinking about the reverse fixture...even though we were playing 9 men. Can't believe we were fighting it out for 4th fucking place man.

Should have just went to the gym

Well lads....here goes.

Kind of cunts make noise during that?

Pochettino not signing a new contract?
-
Fucking Southampton quote man, like Mike Ashley isn't filthy fucking loaded or anything, or our income and all that isn't greater. Insane. Don't even quote our debt, its non-interest bearing to old Mikey Mike.
-
Just compare the stands to then and now, it should really stay it all. Ashley's sucked the life out of the club and his balance sheet wanking ways are absolutely ridiculous. Aren't the only people telling us that "we'd have gone under with Shepherd in charge" Mike Ashley's mouth pieces? The same people who've lied and stretched truths to us for countless years? Yes, I'm aware Shep's accounts were bad.

Robson made a transfer profit during his first 2 seasons at the club. He did sign players and he also sold players, including the 2 you mention who cost less than the 4 that I previously mentioned. I'm quite sure that we didn't go into a transfer deficit until we signed Bellamy ready for Robson's third season and then we spent quite a bit. I think Robson averaged £4 million a year above what he brought in over the length of his contract. It's better than what we currently spend but it's hardly a fortune either considering the improvement that was made. Souness was the one who was given the money and we all know how much of a flop that one turned out to be. I wish Sir Bob was given that money Souness was given man, esp in the season before we crashed out of the Champions League. The appointment of Souness must go down as the worst one ever for the effect it's had on the club, even if I hate Pardew more than him. While it was awful, i think not firing Pardew after the 5th place season, and again after last season, was worse.... And that's to say we should have had a little Chelsea in us and not settled for that f***ing tart and upgraded the manager knowing full on the players were capable of playing. In fact, had we improved our manager this summer, with a top manager we'd be fighting out for a Europa/CL spot IMO.

Remember when we went there and beat them 3-0 away.

How about when we took the p*ss out of Liverpool at home? We were strolling about the entire match. James Perch smashing 7 shades of s*** out of everything that moved. Hatem ran Enrique ragged, Cisse had a great 1st back-post header goal, We had a near-team goal for his 2nd, and Enrique had to play in goal man. Suarez literally did nothing that much either.

I enjoyed football when Shepherd was our chairman, call it SBR's squad and that's fine. I also hated many of his decisions as well, and not saying he was ever a fantastic chairman - but compare him to Ashley, a man who is a malicious fucking prick who's sucked every bit of life out of this club and most especially out of the stands. He's thrown his cheap sporting good brand and ran Keegan out of the club, hired Joe Kinnear twice, and has left Alan Pardew in charge 2 seasons too long. Shepherd was a bellend in his own right for many of the things he did - but some of the best years we've had were under SBR and we still had an ounce of hope and people still dreamed we'd get it right soon or later.
-
He'd have to put together a group or company to buy us, if he ever had a chance to do it. He would likely be a small equity % but want control as Chairman or President and be teamed with either a Private Equity, or Partnership of some kind I imagine.
-
Nah, he wouldn't. If he ever had another go and it was after Mike Ashley, he'd do everything opposite - the prospect of being the "Geordie Hero" would actually play in our club's favor, imo.

We aren't debt free. We owe mike 120 million? I know that man, fairly obvious our "asking price" is full-on purchase of club and "debt" to Mike Ashley. The "debt" to Mike should be equity, by the way. But thats for another conversation.
-
For one thing if Shepherd took over the club again - he'd be able to revel in a debt-free club that our Board peddles about, but would be able to get some decent financing (like every other club does, as long as you get good loans and not over-levered you are fine) and we'd be accountable, relevant, and Shep would be in the press reminding people how big of a club we are, can be and will be. I believe he'd be FAR BETTER then he was last time and infinitely better than Ashley.
