Wolfcastle

Agree a swap deal with Wolves for Larsen just so he can turn it down and look a bigger tw@

They were hanging on to only losing 2-0 in the cup final but were over the moon with 11minutes there too.

Was a poorly timed tackle. Bruno's done worse than that a lot of times who do you want to sell him to?

Not even going to blame him, was pressing hard as instructed and isn't Woodgate/Albert/Beardsley with the slide tackles is all.

Childish comments, even if it were true. They have every other advantage over teams bar tactics but want those teams to also play against them on their terms, so the other team aren't allowed to even find ways around the massive imposed disadvantage without the likes of him and Klopp moaning about it as if they'd do any different if they didn't have the luxury of being a cartel manager.

Would love the gloves to come off now. There's little to lose anyway since were all shut-out of the CL places now, 6th-13th is all the same shit if there's no chance of moving beyond 6th. Playing by the stupid system and playing fair is hurting us now and others are playing dirty and taking advantage of it even with the rules skewered in their favours to begin with.

commentary I had one was picking up on that, that Liverpool were doing the time wasting in the first half, to take the sting out of the crowd. But when seen through their entitled prism of - they're allowed to do everything cos their Liverpool and others aren't allowed to do it back, because they're Liverpool - then its makes sense

We have to be on it like tonight and the final to compete but we can be, because we don't have an embarrassment of riches we cant carry anyone much less our only real striker disrupting things as much as he has. Its not just its obviously cost us points and derailed our season but the slap in the face of the rest of them that are all hands on deck. Stone cold case that could go into folklore of future team talks of how one prick can screw it up for everyone.

Easy to be magnanimous with the game (as in the match tonight, but also generally) in the bag for his side though.

Hardly anybody outside the top 5 has done any good business, because they're not allowed to. Ourselves and VIlla (and even Spurs) are especially stuffed as we cant just sign any old shite, we need top players, they're expensive and our budgets have been artificially lowered.

Been good, good as you can expect without a striker and in an unfair fight, if any luck was going we deserved but of these are the luckiest c*nts going so they get it. The whole overall situation feels pointless anyway, you need hope from these games not reminders of that. The part of me that has been sickened off is sickened now.

I used to think Jackson wouldn't be a good deal but so many horrible deals have come along since the initial Jackson interest that Jackson has moved to the top of the ladder by doing nothing

Hate myself for tempting fate by imagining it much less typing it here, but the thought of "Isak, Isak what's the score" has popped up again

If it just goes off league table then what's the point of the thread? Arteta couldn't do what Eddie's done with the same resources, Emery is the only one that's shown that he could. What would Pep be like without money? would be the same coach but he'd win a lot less.

I'll hear about it on the news. They will be covering the Blackpool fans turning on him and citing anything but his managerial record as a justification, like they did with us I presume. Just I missed the West Brom, Villa and mackem additions.

I think they'll offer the full amount as late in the window as possible to try and dick us around to the maximum, no time for a replacement etc. Its exactly the sort of c(nts I take Liverpool (and their monopoly chums) for. Likely get rebuffed but its a stooge test for them

Doubt it. Before money from sales was more often reinvested in players now a chunk goes to helping get through another PSR window

Usual types will be drooling about it but should be worried. What happened to protecting the game. 1.5 game days and three thrashings doled out already, and that's with two cartel derbies watering things down.

Heard "premier league can be brutal" "got to take your chances at this level" - they got promoted together, they're the same level, there was no proven PL team playing.

Certain without Howe and Emery we'd not have been as good as we've been and would go backwards. They're better than some of the managers ahead of them, just they're more held back too, all things being equal I'd fancy them against anybody.

Read its a make or break season for them with the wages/turnover situation, guess its CL or another summer of sales. Couldn't make any case for that to begin with and certainly not now. Revenge of the monopoly.

Quite a lot left early radio said. 2nd game back in the premier league, won the first, away from home so no excuses and look like losing and its what "f*cking boooooo am garn marra"

Ange won 4-0 there last season mind

Find that depressing whether its Harlem Globetrotters stuff or not. Bayern mullering someone for the millionth time on the way to their 129th title.
