wacko Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 How can Sunderland's ground be so cheap? Even with cheap as fuck material, a near 50k stadium for that price is mental They built it at the right time. There was a massive building boom in the 2000's, so prices rocketed.

Crumpy Gunt Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 How can Sunderland's ground be so cheap? Even with cheap as fuck material, a near 50k stadium for that price is mental Built on a sinking landfill. Probably got the land for nowt off the council or something. Anyone who has been inside the away end knows how horrendously cheap and tatty it is, wasnt Boro around the same for their identikit flat pack stadium? There was alittle batch of stadiums went up at about that time that were basically the same design. I think Derby Counties is similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC Derby is almost the SOL without the top tier. That wasted, ice cold Monday night at pride Park still hurts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwegian-Geordie Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Capello wants to manage a club in the PL before he packs it in. Reckon he'll be their next manager. Chelsea was my first thought Let's hope he doesn't go to Liverpool though... I think he could make them a good team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the trophies they've won in recent years I find that difficult to believe. Would be different for us, obviously. Why would we want to swap with you? You're in the EL, we're in the EL. We have a cup, you have none. Three almost meaningless league places or a trophy (even a crap one) is a no-brainer. Ask again after the season is over. If we lose the FA Cup final, and you get into the CL, the answer might be different. If we win the FA Cup, it probably won't be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I do enjoy laughing at Liverpool's terrible league season, but if we won a cup I would explode with joy, so it's hard to be too hard on them. I don't agree league places are meaningless though, the entire point of football is to finish as high in the league as you can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Of course they're not meaningless (which is why I said "almost meaningless"), but if the choice is a few places higher up the league with no additional benefits (winning the league, cup qualification, not getting relegated) or a trophy, I think the trophy is preferable. The entire point of football isn't to finish as high in the league as you can. Maybe long-term it is, but in any given season that's not necessarily the case. The point is to win stuff. If you've got no chance of winning the league anyway, you're better off concentrating on competitions you can win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 i wouldn't swap with liverpool, no way. shit signings, joke of a manager, laughing stock of football, digusting suarez-gate, humiliated by alleged lesser teams all season. it was important for us to have a good league season this year with positive results and good players to kind of get back on track as a club after relegation and replace some of the big names who have left, rather than fluke a trophy with poor league showings.

Guest bimpy474 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Every Liverpool fan i've encountered, 7 and counting so far, have been ultra defensive and with bordering psychotic rage, it almost as if they have lost all their sense of humour. Loving every minute of it me like. I'd lick my Mother-in-Law's bumhole for a Chelsea win in the Cup Final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Winning a trophy would be splendid but to suggest league position is irrelevant is nonsense. Liverpool tout themselves as title contenders each season...and this season was no different. It's been a disaster for them and no cup trophy will change that. If we were in flipped positions...we'd be over the moon. Of course we would. But we've never claimed to be title contenders and 7th or 8th would have been a good season for us. Perfectly put might i say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Nobody said it was "irrelevant". All I said was that when you're outside the league positions that mean something (winning, Euro qualification, relegation zone), a few places one way or the other don't mean that much. Not as much as an actual trophy, at any rate. And no, it hasn't been a "disaster". Relegation or bankruptcy would be a disaster. If all the half-decent players in the squad put in transfer requests, it would be a disaster. It's just been shitty. FA Cup win would make it less shitty.

With the amount of money you spent, its been a disaster that you are going to possibly finish in the bottom half, 8th is about as high as you could get now, if you think that kind of league position and from that kind of spending is anything but a disaster then you are kidding yourself. Yes you won a trophy, and could win another tomorrow but that only masks a deeper problem, KKK and the squad he has put together isn't good enough, and the main problem is that you have the most average midfield i've seen in a Liverpool side EVER, Gerrard on form aside.

wacko Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 No, you just like to think it's been a disaster because that's more entertaining for you. The bottom line is, we're going to finish this season with at least one trophy. Is it good enough in face of what we've spent? No. But it's more than 17 of the other clubs in the league will manage this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh you just carry on with this line of thinking, it warms me to my tootsies, i also get a bit of a semi whenever a Liverpool fan says KKK is the right man, hahahaha lovely.

loki679 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 What are your thoughts on Gerrard, Wacko? He's the wrong side of 30 now and from what i've seen of him when he hasn't been injured he hasn't really looked great. You think he has long left at the top of the game? Do you guys have anyone coming through or in the background to replace him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
