Yeah, poor the plucky Liverpool fans with their 30 years of fucking champions leagues, fa cups, league cups, all that stuff. I was thinking the other day, we are now at an entire decade of uninterrupted fucking horse shit. And even then the preceeding 'good years' peaked at finishing sixth three years in a row, I am just lucky i am old enough to remember the league and european cup wins because two league cups in 38 years is fucking shit. And yes, I know who i am talking to here, and it's even worse for you. Boo hoo, we haven't won the league for 30 years :-( - well done to the gloryhunting wankers and their vomit-inducing understanding of the term 'lean years'.

I'd have had to leave the room.

I'd genuinely rather watch an ISIS video of my own beheading on loop than watch that once. *shudder*

They'll finish 8th-10th no matter who they buy.

imagine I quite like Elmo. Has a tendency to not be used very much but when he is, makes important contributions. Not a starter, though.
-
Mings has had an awful season, right up until the restart. Grealish not being there is absolutely laughable.
-
Amazingly, on account of them being cheaply knocked out Kappa tush, our new kits are quite nice.

The door's closed and you're not coming in to this club, you vile arriviste plastics.

Ha ha ha, this is brilliant.

Ah, fuck off football.

:lol: Finds something that irritates him in the first 5 mins, whinges relentlessly about it for the rest of the game. Even when its often at odds with what you’re actually viewing. The dope next to him is just as bad, just call the game ffs we don’t want hear your opinions or your sycophantic ramblings. I actually think it'd be more interesting if McManaman just sat chatting in the background about something totally unrelated. Coronavirus or quantitive easing or something. House prices, that's his speciality. In that case they've got the wrong person from that decade of Liverpool meh-ness, they need Robbie Fowler on. I believe he owns, and rents out, half the housing stock of Liverpool these days.

The quality of commentators and punditry in football is so so poor compared to cricket, NFL, NBA - pretty much every other sport. Some of these pundits played under Bob Paisley, Ferguson, Del Bosque, Bobby Robson, Wenger - some of the most intelligent and tactically astute managers in the game. Is it too much to ask to come up with something intelligent, one piece of insight, occasionally? What I think it might be is stuff like NFL, cricket, baseball, there's enough down time for them to start a dialogue - TMS commentators going on about cake and stuff. Whereas football is fast enough to now allow much of that, but slow enough to allow the likes of McManaman or - and for me, he's the worst, Danny Murphy - to fill the gaps with their wittering on about whatever they're fucking obsessed with. It's like being forced to watch a match in your local with the pub twat sat next to you, chuntering on for 90 minutes.

I wonder, has anyone, ever, ever in the history of mankind - and I think we could get a noted historian to look at this, say, Simon Schama or that fit red headed bird with the nose piercing from Channel 5, her - ever, ever remarked on how much Steve McManaman adds to football commentary? Glen Hoddle used to just drone on in the background like a low end Surrey estate agent reading through his listings, but McManaman has the tone of someone sat with a pint they've been nursing for three hours, putting the world to rights, and making you wince as you just know at some point soon, he's going to start on about immigrants. What does he add? A rare occasion of the pretend crowd sound not being the most irritating thing in the audio channel. I also think these crowd noises were mostly recorded at Ajax, it always sounds like that "jelelelelelele Ajax Amsterdam" chant, cut just before they say Ajax with some randomly sourced clip added at the end.

I don't really care much for modern kits - although our new one is quite pleasant, I don't care enough even to post a picture of it. What I do care about, though, is people getting something approaching value for money. Last year's Kappa kits were dreadful quality - badges peeling off, shirts shrinking after one wash, arriving with awful quality control issues. It is bad enough people get fleeced for so much money in the first place, the fact they're doing so in return for badly made shite that falls apart the first time you look at it, well, that's not good.

I reckon Fulham will probably do a Fulham next season.

Aye That's what you call divine intervention.

There's nothing for them to apologise for, there's no way it was over the line. No idea how they've missed that, shambles. It really doesn't look over the line to me. *serious face*

He really is a deeply, deeply unpleasant person.

Some sort of mini tournament splitting the league into two like the Scottish and Belgium do might be the goer if there is still time left in the season when the situation stabilises. The Top 8 all playing each other once, ditto with the bottom 6 from a sporting perspective would definitely add some spice to fixtures. I think they should settle it with a tournament of fans of each team.

Wonder if it can be arranged for you to get Steve Bruce back too. I'd accept it if that were a condition. err, i think
-
The reason so many famous people have it is because they're way more likely to get tested. I for one fully support all claims for the Premier League to be voided immediately. Let's just forget about it and start all over again in August. Please.

Sad news from one of my favourite players ever. "Dear friends and supporters. In an attempt to stop speculation and mis information about my health, I have decided to release the following statement. After a series of recent tests, I have been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's Disease. Medication has been prescribed and with some life changes, which I intend to commit to fully, the prognosis is a good one. I will be out and about for many years yet and see this as just another of life's journeys. My match day duties with Aston Villa will remain an important part of my future and I will continue to perform these, in support of my beloved club, for as long as my health allows. With the love and support of family and close friends guaranteed, I am very optimistic and positive about the future. With Love. Gordon ( Sid ) Cowans x"

Came here to post that De Laet quote but see I've been beaten to it. Depressing stuff. £3m a year for that.
