Paqueta looks too much of an open goal to squander, providing we get a forward in, in addition to Wissa, even if on loan, I'd go there provided its not an extreme cost - lack of squad depth has been our bain and could be solved

That 16 second clip makes it look like the whole ground bar one bloke is just standing or sitting there, but its no great for context. He's singing it wrong anyway so probably confused people, its the Andy Cole song clapping rhythm to a chant that never had clapping in it

The favoured clubs are doing everything they cried was uncompetitive and harmful for the game if other clubs do it - stockpiling all the best players and an indefinite spend advantage no-matter the on-field performances over others. I know, It actually puts clubs like ourselves, Villa and Forest - and Leicester before us - at more completley unnecessary financial difficulity than it protects us from by preventing the growth that the cartel get to live off. Its effectively causing failure by denying growth of well ran, well managed businesses.

Exactly the sort of predicable game and result I'm sick to death of.

More reassured by the performance especially considering the opposition than I am frustrated at being denied a fair crack at it on account of personnel problems. Agreed but think Eddie will alternate irrespective of form once the CL kicks in.

The "I miss the derbies me" folk must be buzzing Myself I cant be doing with the contradictary fusion of self annointing big club stuff with exceptionally small-time gloating about the slightest things that a big club just wouldn't. First time they've been ahead of us for 417weeks and they'll make hay of it because of how rare it is yet not understand what that says about them.

The whole thing is suffering - the hype, the love in, the commentary, Liverpool players faces (any era), their fans - them losing is like a late consolation goal, just simmers it down a bit

I know, what an incredible moment massive spending, playing at home, have scored a lucky late goal against Bournemouth, who've had a player racially abused and its what a wonderful game and world.

He felt kinda grandfatherly to a lot of us when he was here, something so familiar and north-easterly about him made him so relatable and likeable. Also with an element of absolutely loving his football (in an old school romantic sense) mixed in. Could listen to him and others like that (David Pleat, Graham Taylor) talk about it forever.

Realise the last club and set of fans to see it this way is Liverpool but its best for football that Isak doesn't get away with this otherwise players are going to go 'on strike' and behaving like wankers to get moves they've been tapped up for whenever they feel like it and the selling club has to take a lower offer. That whole scenario is outrageous

New revenue stream of fining shitheads.

The whole reason they changed it was to have more dreaded games (well, more money) and to avoid their favourite clubs being knocked out early and denied the ability to play more dreaded games.

They reduced the Premier League from 22 to 20 in 1995. Yet clubs (their clubs) have ended up playing more games, despite cup replays being abolished. Which is exactly what will happen again. Reduce the c*nt to six teams and let the rest of us get on with football.

He's got something generally, Eddie clearly sees that and you had a sense in a better set-up could embelish that - in the unlikely event of being fit most of the time he'd only have been a slight improvement, a squad place, wages and at the expense of someone else coming in, I'd just as soon give him a miss.

Totally going with this.

Not enamoured, strengthens the squad, not sure it will improve us but then were not allowed to improve anyway but £40m

Should bring back that sound-effects only option, no commentary. was deploying that a fair bit as far back as 1993 when Tyler was only somewhat unbearable

Didn't realise it was Exter, and away. Thrashed at St James Park just like old times.

Bramble had Sir Bobby for years and various coaches after that and never got any better. Nailed on for one cock up per game, could spray a ball, sometimes accurately, other than that one of the worst defenders I've ever seen. Howe would have Ciaran Clark'd him.

Not just unexcited by this but also already remorseful about losing the money. Remember "he cant be bad if he's coming from Milan" being said about Andreas Andersson, and that was when Milan were good, very good.

Trimming the fat well at least. Was hoping he'd get stuck up front in a friendly, Harper-style, to send a message.

Don't even know who I'm supposed to be angry at at the club. They've tried with hands tied behind their backs and come short because of regulations against, would you credit it, clubs that don't have their hands tied behind their backs. Its completely different to the Ashley era or the champions league summer shambles of Dalglish, Bramble/Viana (albeit hindsight) and Bowyer *except in outcome.

We tried to buy Elanga last season and needed another forward anyway.

Nobody's good enough to replace Isak so people got to forget that parameter, that's not what anybody is trying to do or calling for.

Don't believe it, but if he's gone to Man United for lower wages its not that outlandish because they can offer a better project because of the restraints/lack of restraints on certain clubs If Chelsea, Man City or Blackburn were offering higher wages but no prospect of ever challenging at the top, players would have been much less likely to turn Man United and co down and go there. Wages + project is probably the key.
