Colos Short and Curlies

They look like business. And I can't be the only one looking to see if Botman was there

We'd all quickly grow an attachment to a new arena/stadium after a season of champions league nights.

The 2024/2025 shirt becomes immortal today!

I can hear Razor and Andy's commentary when Barnes smashes in a 89th minute winner. And also Andos groan when 20mins are added on

Treat today like an airport day. If you are up it's acceptable

John Brooks has given Van Elbow a red against us before.....

Should we let this and the match thread be one today? If the boys do it then it would be the thread to end all threads. Anyway this worked against Arsenal....

Going from Tue game thread Insomnia would be appropriate

To be fair most juries will understand the rage when the old biddy waits to the last moment to pull her purse from the bag, count out the exact money (asking 3 times how much it is) and then carefully putting the purse back before starting to pack their bags.

I've been getting grief all day from 6 and 7 year old Liverpool supporting friends of my boys. It's kinda nice seeing the next generation getting into the rivalry spirit, even if they have made bad choices. There was one who after Tuesday was upset and told his dad he was going to support Newcastle next year. Told him if he gets upset by losing don't start supporting us!

I just went off the BBC league table form

Chronicle reckon Kluivert would cost £25m. Can't see it bit if it's anywhere near that we should be all over it

Love the special nights at Anfield

Chelsea's fixtures are tough, They could easily pick up <15 points from their 10 games. Win our home 6 games and I reckon we get 5th. Add one win from the 4 away games and 4th is a possibility

Despite our inconsistency we've actually won more points than Forest, Villa and Bournemouth in our last 6, won the same points as City and Chelsea and only Brighton have won more than us

Thats all Ando went on about for the full 90 minutes. He hates that ground with a passion

Obviously getting to June was not a great strategy but once we got there the gap was bridged with a (yes high potential) winger and a midfielder who played the sum of 10 games last season. The alternative was a Bruno, Gordon, Isak. They ultimately played the right card at the time, as much as it sucks that we had to sell either one of them

If we start at a £69m loss as our going rate (basically Adidas equalling Champions League revenue) we are adding in the sale of Kelly and Miggy (probably £10m PSR profit as there will have been upfront costs with Kelly) and I think the Ashworth money comes into this year as well, so somewhere between £2m and £5m there we end up with a PSR loss of around £45m. Our position for the end of this year is then -54+9-45= £90m but more importantly we start 2025/2026 at 9-45= £36m loss which allows us a £69m loss in 2025/2026 (ignoring UEFA rules here). That's £24m of additional amortisation and wages so I'd say between £90m and £100m in transfer fees. You can then add on whatever the expected earnings will be from Europe, get Champions league and we can probably double that, Europa I guess we'd work on getting to the final which gives us a further £20m-£30m to spend. So basically anywhere between £90m and £200m depending on where we finish

Bank of England base rate, impact on the GBP/Euro exchange rate, Tariffs on players bought/sold to the MLS, whatever the PL make up

Need Murphy to lay on 2 goals for Isak tonight and we'll have the second top goal scorer and second top assists in the league

3 if needed 😂

We’ve played right to the allowable limits. The phasing of losses and profit wasn’t the best (!) but making a £105m loss over 3 years is bang on where we needed to be. also shows a canny strategy last June in just making enough

We were in the hat for qualifying for the UEFA cup via fair play in 2001 but didn't get pulled out (finished 11th season before). Then Málaga pulled out of the intertoto and we were invited in.

I quite like it It will look good with a pair of Geordie jeans

Odds on Brunos mate having a Stormer then getting banned by Wednesday?
