If none of it goes towards paying off some of their debt or covering losses they usually incur

They've been capitulating of late. Beaten at home by Boro and QPR.

Outrageous bullshit that.

Blackburn raised their game against us a tad apparently

The beautiful game.

Those were the sort of games Allardyce was supposed to win with his brutalist fashion. Was literally no point having him and his dreck football if we weren't going to boringly but systematically beat Derby's.

Small one compared to some, but Kevin Scott being suspended for a red-card the previous season leading to Steve Howey playing centre-back and going on to play for England there and come close to several honours with us.

Wonder if Man United actually play well one of these days they'd get beat, masters of undeserved results the c*nts

Outrageous that Liverpool shit mind. Not remotely surprising though.

Lost all their silly little clutching at straws cups now. The not been sports washed we'd never sell out cup, top dogs or last win (delete as applicable) award and now the friendly cup. Still they at least have the 6 in a row and a couple of draws but in a slightly different order to the one we had 2001-2008 and never gave a second thought to cup.

Bench behaving like pricks before the goal. How unlike Klopp when not getting entirely his own way

Cuntpool 9mins of stoppage time

Dalglish made a net loss of 11m in transfers and spent 33m in 19month. Not sure about money drying up. Keegan paid for Ginola, Huckerby, Hislop, Barton and Ferdinand with Cole, Nielson, Mathie, Venison, Fox, Sellars and others and moved us forward. In 97/98 Wenger took Arsenal past us (and everybody else) spending the same amount as Dalglish (17m)

Certainly contradicts the recent rewriting of history pushed by Shearer amongst others that Blackburn did a Leicester.

Aye. Tomasson, Andersson and Guivarch combined cost well more than we got for Ferdinand and for us they were all atrocious. Des Hamilton cost the same as we got for Ginola. Pistone a ton more the Beresford and Elliott were sold for combined. That's all on the manager not the PLC

What!? We went from challenging for the title to being on the brink of a relegation battle the following Easter. Barnsley was a must win and we only did so with a dodgy late goal. And we played the most boring football along the way with players being told off for going over the halfway line. Based on what he did for us he's easily one of the worst. But unlike Souness at least had achievements elsewhere but the drop of under Sourness was nowhere near as bad as Dalglish. Keegan made a profit in 1995 and improved us. Dalglish spent a lot of money mostly terribly whatever he brought in.

Yes, I remember that. But he was basically finished after 92/93 and a disaster at Bayern Stoichkov too according to a Euro 96 report and Stoichkov himself.

Like when the other team gets fatigued. We played better yesterday mostly because of the introduction of fresh legs from the bench I thought, the overall team performance wasn't really there just Almiron then Tino's verve

Wonder if these draws are unprecedented in their shitness. Man United got Man City away followed by Liverpool away one year in R3 and R4 - but the other cup draws were piss easy (League Cup: 3rd tier Leeds, 4th tier Aldershot, championship Crystal Palace and in the CL Benfica, Basel and Galati)

So watching them beating Bury 2-1 in the League Cup in a half-empty stadium for a tenner the night before we beat Barcelona was the better fan experience as neither of us won the respective competitions both games were a complete waste of time and money but at least I'd have saved £20.

They got beat off Crewe and they're calling out Fulham and Blackburn away! Mind technically they're shitter than Crewe so I wont argue with them on the point they were an easy draw.

I did enjoy the scoffing at Shearer's suggestion that we'd had tough cup draws this season "Sunderland, Fulham and Blackburn" its so them, just ignoring the other six games were Chelsea, Man United, Man City, PSG, Milan and Dortmund Imagine the temerity to think we get difficult draws when only two thirds of them have been against the biggest clubs in the world, and a third of the others away at a PL a team

Its not untypical to get one of those in a cup-run. How many times did we go out undeservedly - we survived Stevenage by the skin of our teeth on the way to the final in 98 and the win at Everton was an abomonation.

The star next to our logo means the match was drawn but and the 2 was based on the pen shoot out win - in flashscore speak
