Ghandis Flip-Flop

As opposed to being a clairvoyant manager? is the reason Pep is so much better than everyone else, down to pre match seances like?

Yeah but he's played less minutes in a better functioning team, arguably in a less critical position on the pitch. He also had a significant loan out at Bolton.

He still has a face like a bag of smashed crabs though. I reckon that's why him and Neville work together, pair of rancid, shit haired twats

Just when Liverpool lose?

Because he became ill? Because in his last start he had a bit of a 'mare? Because we've not been in a great moment and we need experienced calm heads? Or is it because our manager is a knacker? Honestly the ridiculous flip-flopping of some on this forum makes me wonder if Lithium might be beneficial?

It’s a bit like the housing market conundrum though isn’t it? Do the FFP limits need to change? Or do clubs need to hold firm and allow the market to reset after Chelsea's most recent stint at inflating player values?

Like Bellingham even more after that tbf

Agree with all that but the standard of football at that level is genuinely appalling. Watched Elgin a few times over the years and seriously I reckon a half decent Northern League Div 2 team would tear them a new one.

Was the fact they got relegated last year not in large part due to a horrific injury situation for much of the season? He'll fit right in here 😂

Definitely get this, NUFC is a long root stretching back home, despite not living in the North East since ‘97. I sometimes think living away has oddly made me more partisan than I would’ve been, if I’d stayed in Bedlington.

Nah, left at the Red Lion past the Golf Course and you’re straight on the A1 man, be there in no time

Did El Haj Diouf not also play for Liverpool and the Mackems too?

How much football do you actually watch to make that assertion? I can honestly say that at least 50% of the midfielders currently plying their trade in the PL are worse than him. But that’s just my eyeball test. It’s worth noting that metrics much like the statistics they’re based on can be manipulated to say pretty much whatever the compiler wants them to highlight. I'd recommend you go back and watch him when he's properly fit, there’s lots of quick intricate passing particularly with Bruno and Willock, often receiving the ball whilst under significant pressure and he generally retains possession. I'm not saying it’s impossible to improve on him, but I’d argue he isn’t the main issue which requires upgrading in our midfield. In fact when everyone is fit, I’d argue our midfield is Ok, we need better numbers from our wide forwards. The drop off from Gordon this season has been massive.

Fantasy football has a great deal to answer for, letting stats obsessed knobheads show their face in public, rather than witter away in their parents basement. Just a general observation rather than anything aimed at yourself Jagten btw. And whilst I agree Joelinton's passing isn’t his greatest attribute, you’re obviously watching a different league to me, if you think he’s one of the worst passers in it. It’s also not his main purpose in the team and there are plenty of other metrics where he's was In the 90th percentile across all of Europe's major leagues.

Would he really go back to France though? Also the dislike between Qatar and Saudi cannot be overstated

The thing that concerns me is who can realistically afford to pay £100M+? In the past Madrid and Barcelona might've been possibilities, but they’re skint. Only a PL rival can afford his fee and that would really sting. Hence why I’m hopeful it’ll be the likes of Wilson, Miggy etc who'll be out of the door this summer rather than Bruno. If he'd wanted Liverpool or similar he could’ve pushed for it last summer, but he didn’t. I think we’ve got under his skin and will have at least one more season with him. Fail to get CL qualification next year again and then he might be off

OOOH, I think somebody is ready for their Friday night Baileys

Does he really have a massive connection to them though? Surely he'd have his eye on succeeding Ancelotti if he's ambitious no?

You do realise you’re replying to yourself in this post right?

The profit is the £13M, fella you’re either an expert troll or fool, I’m genuinely not sure which at this stage

How many people have to tell you, that you’re not using the correct values in terms of FFP. lets do some simple maths shall we, add the two figures you have and take away 13 (The post Covid profit Ashley left us with), if those figures were right we'd already have been charged as we'd be well in excess of £105M

Bringing Bobby Clark back more maybe?

1. You can add an unproven at this level Jow White to that list too. 2. The window isn't shut yet

Aye they will, but using Matty1892's 40% discount

Erm the fact he's seemingly telling every man and his dog about it! If it were my business I’d be discrete as hell about of any of this stuff and denying all knowledge were anything to leak. Then I actually have plausible deniability. Just my two pennies worth though
