Tiresias

It winds me up, even when tindall does it, just what do you hope to achieve getting in ref's face? I'm sure it does work to some degree, get the odd call after cos ref doesnt want the hassle but it's just grown men acting like babies half the time. I used to like Klopp but even disregarding the crap he spouts about other clubs less apparently noble than Liverpool his touchline manner is absolutely disgraceful

(on man city's rotational fouling) It's because if you keep the ball well enough you know you will get countered on, but it may be only 6 or 7 times a game and not every foul is going to be a yellow so you may only get 3 or 4 yellow cards out of it anyway. It's cynical but i dunno if anyone really wins anything without that side to the game tbh.

In fairness one is generally against the opposition in football (nb i do know how it is meant to be read i am just being a prick)

Premier League Winners: Man City Runners Up: Man U 3rd-6th: Liverpool Arsenal, Newcastle Chelsea Relegation: Sheffield U, West Ham, Luton Overachievers: Aston Villa Underperformers: Fulham to nearly go down Top Goal Scorer: Haaland (this category should be top scorer after Haaland really) Break Out Year: Lewis Miley Season to Forget: That new Man U striker PFA Player of the Year: Haaland PFA Young Player of the Year: Miley Manager of the Year: Ten Hag First manager to quit/be sacked: Moyes Championship Not going to pretend to pay enough attention to answer anything about championship tbh Newcastle United Where will we finish?: 5th Top Goalscorer?: Wilson Season to forget: Willock will struggle to get enough game time to get his confidence in full slow I fear Howe will we fare in Europe?: Decent effort but out in group stage. FA Cup: Arsenal League Cup: Man City EFL Trophy: Liverpool Europe La Liga winner: Real Madrid Serie A winner: Inter Bundesliga winner: Bayern European Competitions Champions League winner: Real Madrid Europa League winner: Dunno Conference League Winner: Dunno General World Player of the Year: Vinicius Jnr World Young player: Bellingham still count?

Did he play in that game for Ukraine yesterday? Also finally caught up to that 2-0 goal lol leeds

Was going to say this pubs sky must be well behind...

Do they not still have bamford? If fit (huge if) he's a perfectly decent championship striker, just like gayle unable to replicate it in premier league

Oh i meant first time round when he has years left on contract. He could surely push through transfer this time like that

Terrible static defending from Leeds there

Signing the contract was the stupid bit, what is Kane to do then down tools? He's get roasted and still with no guarantee of moving as levy may well have kept him regardless. You sign a dumb contract you live with the consequences hard to be sympathetic he still is clearly first on the England teamsheet and banging them in for spurs. I imagine levy would sell if he had something lined up for a proper replacement but they are hard to come by...

Tbh I'm kinda dreading the days when it's all media managed superstars earning mega bucks. I know he's not good enough to win the league with but i love miggy and love this squad they feel human still

I am wondering if the plan is with a new CB heavily rumoured to be last target if Howe is thinking about going 3 at the back considering that has been trialled in the preseason but it's not clear who the left wing back could be if it isn't tino or tripps out of position as both can play there even though its sub optimal. I don't really see Burn as a wing back at all. the benefit would be if they both can do it if you play both they can switch wings throughout the game to confuse the opposition, which is very howe. Look at joelinto and willock switching between midfield and left wing a lot.

I just hate the whole transfer circus it's all blown up out of proportion to be part of the "entertainment package" when in reality it's the stupidest bit and i worry the crazy fees are becoming unsustainable and there is a reckoning down the line

With a certain inevitability

He's not an obscure player ffs

I hear they've made a bunch of triathletes ill from their toxic fumes

tempted tbh

Klopps style high press from Dortmund

Clubs in leagues that can't compete with premier league trying to do so by scouting younger and scouting better to bring in future talent they can then sell back to the premier league for massive profits so they can be at all competitive with them when it comes to european competition is the answer :/

i mean i think Romeu is good like but not sure he's the new Busquets...

So close to the Mane Sane and Kane lineup too

I guess need to get new signings in to work our ffp and all that but give him everything. Still can't quite believe this guy plays for us somehow

Yep absolutely right profile of club for him could really rebuild his reputation.

i feel a little for maguire, got the phil jones hex of becoming a figure of national ridicule because when he makes errors they tend to be on the calamitous. But he is simply never going to be a defender for a technical high defensive line side that they want to do. He may well think he has a decent chance of outlasting Ten Hag I guess, and when the high press stops working he can play deep and everyone will comment on maguire has done well there. Still think best for him is to go, don't get any clearer sign you aren't getting minutes than having captaincy stripped.
