Scousers on talksport are quality tonight. This guy is advocating LFC taking the FA to court.

I would favour a playoff system for the last 3 european places in the league, as i mentioned. That would even things out a fair bit but to determine the champion? If they're the best team over 38 games, home and away, how does going back and playing that team you beat 3 months ago prove anything?

What's 'winning something for the sake of winning something'? It's nonsensical, the whole point of playing is to win something. You go on about teams seeing seventh place as a 'massive victory' and then write off 50% off the actual shiny metal trophies we have a chance of winning. And the answer isnt playoffs. The answer is never playoffs unless the question is 'what happens at the end of the season in the fizzy pop league?'.

The fuck team do you think you're supporting? We haven't won anything since before I was born. So? So i'd give my right ball to see us actually win something. We're not winning the league anytime soon, FA cup maybe if we get a bit of luck, nee chance of europe as things stand so the league cup looks pretty fucking sweet to me right now. You're like the bloke who's marooned on a desert island for 40 years and complains when the woman who finally washes up is a bit of a munter.

The fuck team do you think you're supporting? We haven't won anything since before I was born.

Boro, Spurs, Liverpool, Birmingham and Swansea have all won the league cup in the last 10 years. I reckon we could win it if we had a proper crack at it. edit: Suppose the champions league could always be considered to be the playoffs for best in europe. Maybe that's the european version.

A wuz theyar when Amlaf, Amamalf, Ammmmmafut, that french blerk scowad. He seems to have just joined us and vanished. Another facet to our transfer policy a la Gosling maybe, take a punt on them if they're free. If it doesnt work out, you've lost a little in wages (minus any transfer fee). edit: well, that first line wasn't great to begin with but after that previous post got deleted it looks a bit random. Trust me, there was a reason.

Bloody hell, now neesy's at it. Repeat after me, 'we are going to get humped, we suck, pardew out, i hate everything'.

I'd question whether or not we actually need two defensive midfielders. Effectively we'd have 7 defensive players out of 11 on the pitch. Go a bit more aggressive and go 4-1-2-3 instead of 4-2-3-1.

Bearing in mind our shocking league position will have cost us £5m+ in merit payments as well as being less of a tv draw and bugger all prize/gate money from the cups, that's not a bad deal for Laudrup. I'd take Laudrup, Girard or Ketsbaia happily. Ketsbaia or Girard are probably more likely due to the compensation involved but any of those three i'd be chuffed with.

What does that change domestically, though? You create a "big two" that get fat on that final position cash and tv money. Two teams that are attractive to big names because they're guaranteed to contend for the title and qualify for the CL. It's your idea, don't ask me. At least the CL places might get shared around a bit more and give other teams a chance rather than the same 4 every year. Imagine a year where Chelsea, Man Utd or City missed out on europe, it'd give FFP some teeth as they no longer have the guarantee of CL money. Eventually you'd achieve a more equitable distribution.

I thought those cartoons were a pisstake, I was waiting to get to the punchline at the end. The fuck is wrong with these people?

Spot on from .com there. The Gouffran one is baffling considering he keeps banging on about our players being tired and the Gouff should be one of our freshest having missed the EL campaign. Gotta have a bit of Shola though I guess.....

Suppose playoffs for the final 2 CL and the EL place might work. 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th play off and the winner and 2nd place get the shitty CL places and 3rd gets the EL. Maybe even extend it down to 8th with 3rd and 4th getting a bye in the first round. To determine the league winner though? Get tae fuck. Stick with the silly yank 'sports' for that. Be wanting to call it soccer next and serve hotdogs and 'soda' instead of beer and pies. Educational fridge leaflets on the seats and shit. Fuck off.

Why are you so scared of losing?

Remarkably stalky, sounds like you were following him

I think we've looked decent. Hope we dont try and sit on it.

Twice this season we've had runs of four losses and a draw in 5 games. I'm not taking anything for granted until the points are on the board.

I notice nobody stuck up for Stu when IP called him a c*** Just rename this the meltdown thread and be done with it. That's what it'll be for the next few weeks anyway.

You're so gullible, you'll always give him another game. Thought I'd got away with a couple of pages without attracting an idiotic insult there. FWIW I wasn't commenting on anything other than these quotes. If 'gullible' is an insult now then the world is really getting bloody precious. It's not exactly nice is it?

If he is saying fan reaction was over the top I think he's wrong. But I don't know that he is, he might just be trying to downplay the situation in general, or be referring to pundits etc. In context that whole interview doesn't read too badly. At least when he talks about Sunderland he also admits we'll have to carry our own burden of defeat. Reads better than each line in isolation. That is just as bad. I see what you're saying, yes and no IMO. Obviously he should be impressing on the players how dire the situation is, but in public he needs to make it sound like everything is calm. At the end of the day the performance against WBA will be the telling thing. If we lose then it'll be because Marveaux and Tiote are out, you know it. I'm gonna take a punt on an outsider this week and go for 'wind'. In fact, we should have an excuse poll thread each week. Overall winner gets a tin of spam.

How many defeats have you inflicted on them, Alan? The stadium, the riots, the horse punching, the week of despair and he still doesn't get it.

I'm not sure he could spot a good coach, or even if he did wouldn't be threatened by him. He'd much rather have around him people he knows are below him and have no chance of challenging him. What brings you to this conclusion? f*** off muppet. RTGtastic A lot of the stuff I've read on here the past couple of days has been tbh. Depressing. You when lose to the SMB, become you the SMB You can be wireside then. Watch your letterbox marra.
