If Ian W does not want him, then Benitez should do the right thing and set him lose "He's a hero. You turn him loose. Turn him loose!"

The awful dross in the PL are on another planet to the dross we face each week in this league. I think you're kidding yourself about the quality of our players, like. We basically need a whole new defence and keeper (if Krul doesn't return) if and when we get promoted. I don't even wanna start with the midfield and wide options, and we all know we need at least one striker.

I think Brighton pushing us is a blessing, like. Helps negate complacency, on the pitch and hopefully in the window.

I really like Conte. Happy to see him doing well even if it is with Chelsea.

Great team.

Bit of a strange point to make, like. I still wouldn't sell Mito. There aren't too many strikers like him around these days and if he can learn to play within himself a bit he's a very good option off the bench, regardless of the league.

It's definitely possible to tell when you look at his competition.

Haidara, Krul, De Jong, Saviet can all go like. Aye, selling our best goalkeeper by a mile makes perfect sense.

Moyes is in a complete no-win situation now, mind. Wouldn't be surprised to see him walk on Feb 1.

Lost 5-1 to Pardew's goal-shy Palace and was so upbeat in the interview afterwards you'd think he was cheating on his Mrs again. He's an fucking incompetent weakling who took us down. Hope he loses in the playoff final to a last minute own goal and they sack him again and appoint Pearson, who beats him up the next day.

I'm chuffed tonight, like. I was 100% confident of victory from start to finish.

Wingers will rarely shine in Rafa's compact, narrow system, mind. It matters not one bit if we keep winning.

to both.

Get in son. Absolute quality.

Been listening to this. As I suspected, Carr wasn't really to blame for some of our s*** signings and he has been under exactly the sort of restrictions that some of us suspected he was. The sort of restrictions that force him to buy players unfit for purpose for considerable sums of money? Aye, OK. You should probably listen to it before launching into your default of arrogant ignorance like. Haven't listened at all, but I wasn't a Carr basher, I presumed he'd be doing the job of any scout, which is to prepare a selection of targets and rank them on suitability/cost. Not his fault if the club kept going for the worst options in the end. If he provides no options, he'd not be in a job mind. Aye, I'm sure it's the club's fault he decided £6m was a good price for Rivierre, £12m for Thauvin etc. Not to mention the utterly ludicrous attempts to construct a central defence with players about as physically imposing as Pee Wee Herman.

I'm on my phone or I'd post the Blackadder gif.

I can't be bothered to check but I think Liverpool were pushing for Uefa Cup at that point. Back when teams liked qualifying for it.

True. Really hurt apparently according to a lady in the local press. 'murder', she wrote. Joeyt wants his fucking awful sense of humour back.

I'm with Figures here. Neesy, what's up with you, man? You're just not the same recently.

BG just wanted an excuse to post a smiley.

I don't know how Neil's kept his job, like. Relegated in 19th and too far behind top 2 now.

Dwight Gayle. Money.

Gayle's so fucking money, man.

Cracking effort there.
