That atmosphere must be mental right now.

I could sort of see what the ref was thinking on first viewing but that’s such a penalty on review.

Cracking second half. Really quite blatant Ivory Coast penalty given as a dive by the ref but VAR will surely mean a pen.

Fascinating game in the AFCON. Ivory Coast have really pulled themselves together.

That’s a challenge: There was an fake scouser called Klopp Who was always throwing childish strops He had great pearly whites But his patter was shite And thank Christ his reign’s come to a stop.

Pro: fans in tears Con: media in tears Can I get through the rest of the season just watching recorded games:highlights and skipping past anything that even hints at Liverpool?

One unfortunate effect of the current fetish for playing the ball out from the back going deep into the lower divisions is that when they try it against a top side they just get obliterated. See also Sunderland tbh.

Rewatching it with the Welsh commentary. Nice and chill.

Is this game on anywhere?

Vertonghen might be another.

Don’t think it will last long here tbh.

The first time I walked past the store on Oxford St (or wherever it is in the West End) I actually laughed out loud. Had no idea. Now I see the ads everywhere on the Tube. Broken Britain.

Presume they have been. Should investigate every one of the fuckers and make the punishment actually count if they get caught.

One down, thousands to go. Where’s that guillotine gif?

Yeah I think it’s a fair bid too, but one that I wouldn’t touch with a bargepole in your position. It’s not worth the sacrifice.

Dunno, it’s all guesswork. Spotrac says Son (190), Maddison (170), Romero (165) - the three team “captains”. Then Kulusevski (110, seems high), and Hojbjerg (101, probably moving on). That seems generally plausible but heaps of salt required.

Because of everything he’s said and everything he’s done. We don’t know any of it as fact really, but I think it’s pretty clear. And no because of FFP but in theory yes because I suspect Bruno is on similar albeit less pw. Not the point though - I was responding to a post that seemed to suggest that you were choosing between Maddison at 200Kpw and Barnes at 100Kpw. Like you, I was sceptical that you’d have offered 200Kpw not least because it’s guessed that we’re paying him appreciably less.

I’m not sure I am . Will def shut up now though,

Yeah, Son. Wages are all conjecture anyway, and since ours (and now many others) have been bonus-driven for ages they’re even more impenetrable. That Sportrac site or whatever it is seems to make plausible guesses, but they are guesses.

Me obviously . The only reason I pipe up is that every once in a while a new mole pops up with the same nonsense and I feel obliged to whack them with the mallet.

He didn’t choose us because we offered him more money than you. He chose us because he wanted to play for us, The fact that you think he’s our highest paid player now too doesn’t bolster your credibility

You were going to pay him £200Kpw? Presume that would have made him your highest earner, would be more than anybody at Spurs is rumoured to be on as well.

They’ve done really well here. Not seen Southampton for a while and Leeds have looked good recently but this feels like the best two teams. Think the ref’s done a good job in a difficult game, by and large.

Enjoying Leicester-Ipswich, pity it was such a soppy goal.

Meanwhile both of our guys are going through. Great but also annoying
