Tiresias

Not the worst result

Not sure I've ever seen someone that offside

Feel ronaldo going to rob us somehow

How much shirt tugging ffs

Should have done better with shot there

I wonder if the cost of borrowing going up is going to have an effect on how much clubs are willing to spend, and this may put even more of a gulf between a lot of clubs and the really rich ones (like us, albeit we are severely restricted by ffp). It's terrible for the league, and I want to compete for the league on merit not on spunking all the money in the world at it, but alas nothing is going to get done to cut back on ludicrous spending.

Howe has been very good at keeping players who arent getting many games on side and involved behind the scenes, and he is no doubt getting more intense, useful and tactically aware training than he would be at a championship club most likely. I agree it's a shame he's not getting more competitive minutes, I imagine he will get a lot of time in the cups but I don't think it is detrimental for his development. Now not saying he is comparable talent but I remember how long it took for Guardiola to phase in Foden, even I from an England perspective was like why isn't he starting often he's clearly brilliant hah. That paid off.

I've never been to Copenhagen, is it worth a trip?

I see Wordle has gone downhill

Absolutely. If they came through with a suggestion for financial fair play that cut back on the ludicrous over spending, allowed clubs with poorer resources to better compete I am all for it. But rather than blaming how miserably the game has been governed it's just man city and our fault.

Why aim so low probably have his own show on GBNews in a month or two whinging about 'cancel culture'

If he said all this money is bad for the league I would absolutely agree with him, it's just the blatant getting his excuses in about it and pretending he hasn't spent a lot

In the comments there was more racist abuse visible on his social media. What is wrong with people?

Fucking moron. Shocking how much racism seems to be regular thing again.

Sigh. The thing is broadly I agree, financial disparity between clubs leads to uneven competition. It is bad. I would like in an ideal world to be competing to win league etc based on merit of performance etc. We are a long way off that now, we have a decade of neglect to invest before we are on a similar level but he is right assuming no change of circumstances ultimately there isn't a financial ceiling. It's absolutely not fair. The league is best competitive and I hope we have success without having substantially outspent rivals. I have confidence that we will be able to as the model is to spend sensibly etc anyway. But it is absolutely unbearable to hear a manager who has spent £75m on a defender (money well spent of course) and loads and loads of money pretend to be a fucking under funded underdog. Absolutely pathetic. If Brighton came out with teh same stuff genuinely they have invested super sensibly and competing they absolutely should be rewarded with being competitive with the best. Absolutely pathetic to hear from Klopp. Pathetic pity me crap. He's achieved a lot, doesn't need to pretend he has done so as some moral parsimonious monk. And for the record if Eddie came out with anything self pitying about not having investment, he can fuck off with it. But he won't because he is doing best he can with what he has been given. He is in a position where he will not have the excuse of lack of investment, but I suspect he will not resort to that. Fuck off klopp.

Money or not they have needed to start boxing smarter ever since Ferguson left. So much money down the drain and almost all of it entirely foreseeable

Kinnear and Carver deserve hate, they were both absolutely awful and full of self regard. McClaren is a weird one because he isn't a dinosaur in his methods or anything but just was totally unable to get the squad motivated or together. He was inept and nothing went right but I don't hate him at all really, just useless in the wrong club at the wrong time. Was really weird considering he had more backing than a lot of the other ones.

It is better and it's not like I'd boycott over it but it would be a bit garish and sad and is prefer if they tried everything else first rather than treating stadium name as easy money maker. Not that there's any sign of them acting that way kind.

Would be a bit shocking if they decided to ditch spending sensibly on good young players who improve the squad to adopt the man u model or something

I agree some is necessary but the comercial side has been so underdeveloped for decades there is so so much low hanging fruit the club can do to raise income before it comes to renaming st james park

This. A million times. I must admit as much as I am enjoying this season and the prospect of the immediate future, I am even putting aside the morals a little apprehensive about becoming a soulless super club where everything is a brand tie in and continual 'banter' from every social media orifice (grumble grumble grumble)

Manager not listening to him enough?

God remember when he felt what was most important was dismantling the extremely competent defense Rafa had put together. He comes into the job and smashes up the good bits of what came before and then just eats all the bacon rather than do any other work. The only fucking work he is willing to do is undermine others good work.

And for the record I want players who are desperate to play champions league. We have had low standards for so long, Bruno and Trippier won't settle for doing decent midtable job. Proper winners, but the downside is proper winners aren't going to be overly sentimental. Still please fight all out to keep him, 2 more seasons at the very least...
