It's weird. I somehow think £55m isn't bad for Mount but also wouldn't want us making the move. EDIT: Forgot he's only got a year on his contract. Fuck that on both fronts actually.

Love everyone dressed for a classic boys night out on the town and Matty Targett looking like he's just arrived from his evening jog.

I was too young to really appreciate the Entertainers at the time, but it feels like a hangover from that era for me, where it's said most neutrals appreciated how KK set us up even if it's taken on a certain mythological feel to it with the whole 'awful defence/rather lose 4-3 than win 1-0' thing. Certainly lazy 'journalism' nowadays though and an easy cliche to film the word count. The only thing people have appreciated about us for decades is we were reliable for a laugh.

Sven seems to have gotten off lightly and somehow Gordon has been made slightly more handsome, bless him.

It's amazing, really. Europe in 11 of 13 seasons before our first full season under his ownership led us to 1 European excursion in 15 seasons. Then as you say, first full season and back not just in Europe, but the CL. I'm not saying we have a right to be there or owt.. But when run properly..

Genuinely reckon he hates himself for this. The prick wanted to be loved when he first arrived. Wasn't he considered a 'recluse' before we accepted him with open arms and suddenly he was downing pints in the stands? But he couldn't help himself from becoming a petty, spiteful little bitch due to his own mistakes. And I hope it haunts him every time he catches one of our games and he realises how much easier those 14 years could've been for him.

Couldn't run a football club like a business, allowing it to become a dilapidated shell before palming it off and letting someone else at least double it's value in the space of barely 18 months. And that's just the start of the transformation. 'smart businessman' indeed.

London Regional Scout U13-U18. Probably didn't even have either a London Regional Scout or U13-U18 Scout in general under the last 'regime'.

How strange that it's the two places he's gagging for the most engagement possible.

Not to start sending expectations sky high, because if we do have a drop off next season I wont be upset as I imagine we'll still be seeing progress. But I can see us not doing so to any major extent and still grabbing Europa League or something. With the way Howe gets so much out of his players, I really do think the big aspect is reasonable reinforcements for rotation. Who would we really want to upgrade in the first xi right now? LB, maybe a CB (unfortunately, purely from a pace perspective), an extra CM, wide player? And I'm not saying I expect four purples in one summer (even though it wouldn't surprise me if we find the right deals). But any such players would immediately be moving a bloody handy player to the bench for rotation purposes (if they're happy to play that role). Add a few bargains brought in on the understanding of being a serviceable backup and we can point to the likes of BDB as proof of what can happen if you take your chance with both hands.

If they don't want any official Klopp's ever had a cowie-addled rant at ruining their games again they're welcome to be exclusively reffed by non-league lads going forward. At least until he runs through that lot and they need to start importing them.

But who else could turn around a relegation candidate like Emery did this season? Oh.

The sign of a top 'keeper. Absolutely nothing to do all game yet there he was, ready and waiting to save us at the last minute.

Probably bottling third now though and that's just not good enough in my book.

Definitely getting ahead of myself now but roughly when will we know what group stage matches fall when? Need to start thinking about booking time off work.

I unashamedly love him.

Can't do it through car windows anymore; gotta go somewhere.

Stay with it. We're finally getting some on-pitch stuff with Eddie's interview. Big Joe and his pregnant Mrs. Love the idea of him and Bruno beginning an army of Geordie-Brazilian hybrids.

Can't remember a single word of it. Just absolutely no substance.

What a result! 7.5.

Not complaining about the post-match being the relegation battle as that's the story over us making the CL but this conversation is absolute dogshit. Hurry up with the celebrating lads, we need an Eddie interview to save this broadcast.
