Just experienced the club’s best season in 20 years? Better sit on the internet all day and get increasingly furious about transfers you’ve imagined.

The statement that went out last week was published in error. There’d have been contractual obligations for both parties until the partnership officially ended (PotM award for example), so the club couldn’t have just left it up.

I’ve still no idea what a Fun88 is tbh.

Not sure of the economics of it but I don’t think concerts a particularly massive money spinner. Sunderland ditched them for a few years because too much hassle for the meagre amount of revenue it generated.

Good backup to Miggy.

Someone’s scheduled the Facebook post for the wrong date/time.

The man isn’t going on national tele and slagging off his boss ffs.

Enjoyed the apple reference. Should’ve got him on an exercise bike too.

Here’s hoping he doesn’t get the shits this time.

Player of the Season: Trippier. So good, so consistent. Most Improved Player of the Season: Murphy. Thought he was done after that Sheff Wed game, but he’s been a revelation the second half of the season. Delighted for him. Most Disappointing Player: Feels churlish to identify anyone. Probably Fraser on the basis he was actually canny at the back end of last season and has fell off the face of the earth. Signing of the Season: Pope. I don’t think anyone thought we needed a keeper as a matter of urgency last summer, but he’s been a rock and cost fuck all. Goal of the Season: Miggy at Fulham. Assist of the season: Willock versus Spurs. Game of the Season: Spurs at home. Moment of the Season: Too many to pick from. Probably our fifth against Spurs just for the sheer wtf nature of it all but honourable mentions to the full time whistle against Leicester, Burn’s goal against Leicester in the cup, Willock’s goal against Chelsea, full time in the cup semi and Wilson’s goal against Man United. Manager rating out of 10: 10. I don’t think he could’ve done much better. Season rating out of 10: 9.5. Only black mark is getting to a cup final and not winning but in the grand scheme of things that wasn’t a disaster. Our time will come.

This made my day. Buzzing for him.

Football fans need to be Phil Spector.

Always an experience to read about how UEFA and other European leagues divvy up their money, then realise the PL definitely isn’t that bad in comparison.

I’m not a massive fan of that side of things personally. But then I have spent far too long watching our fans absolutely lose their heads when we concede. It’s like a comfort blanket now. In general I find German football really odd. It manages to be much more accessible and fan friendly than the English game, while feeling vastly more corporate. Suppose it’s indicative of the different ways in which the game has been ran in England and Germany. Over there you’ve got a sport in which fans are much more in control and stakes feel a lot lower. Here you’ve got the richest league in the world and everything that brings, rubbing up against the remains of 70s/80s terrace culture and the institutional distrust of ‘the fan’ which keeps that spirit alive.

That’s just German football. Really bizarre when a team is getting absolutely pumped and their ultras are still going for it.

He’ll have deleted it when he realised how messy things could get for him IMO. Bet the poor lad is sat in his mam’s box room absolutely shitting himself.

Probably discovered the punishment in Saudi for falsely accusing someone of adultery is flogging.

The sick disgusting bastard.

Maybe he’s had a chat with our chairman and decided to take a second wife

Can’t imagine the odds were long enough to make it worth it.

Those ‘famous European nights at Anfield’ aren’t going to be quite the same when they’re playing Cukaricki, Lugano and Qarabag.

Are United Utilities putting something in the water around Merseyside?

Fancy us to get a result even if we play the reserves.

Genuinely believe he’s coming off out of embarrassment rather than anything else. He barely got touched.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/may/23/pgmol-set-to-reject-liverpools-complaints-and-back-officials I don’t think the PGMOL can actually tell a club to fuck off, but this is pretty close.
