Man City wouldn't need it. Liverpool wouldn't want it, nor probably most Man U fans. Basically the few teams with a realistic chance of sustained success or recent success would possibly turn it down, because they don't need it to win things and the negatives are worse than the positives. The other 88+ clubs in the league would be just like us though. But then we'd be like they are now, calling them out for embracing it. So we should be honest that the hypocrisy probably goes both ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only because of klopps outstanding management have Liverpool been able to compete imho...as for man city they've had a ten year headstart and could spend what they wanted too,time might come when they are envious of newcastles wealth. So I disagree . Things can change quickly in football . City without pep? Liverpool without klopp mane salah ? Newcastle without that fat Cockley Bastard.

Yeah it's that. They've nothing to be gained by wanting to swap UAE rulers for Saudi rulers, who are potentially worse in terms of human rights but could achieve no more success with them than they've already had.

Guest HTT II Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I’m at Flamingo Land, we’ve been here since Friday for my boy’s footy tournament (won all 3 games yesterday, scoring 22 and conceding none, my boy got 9), thousands of people from Liverpool, Manchester, Yorkshire, Newcastle and Sunderland of course and other towns and cities and every fan I’ve interacted with there has been no faux outrage or any hostility, mostly positive comments and well wishes and compliments about our fanbase and how well Howe did to turn things around and how excited we must now all be. I think the hatred is mainly social media and Internet forums. There is a mackem team here and honestly in the park every one of the parents were in their tops, some even full kit wankers, a couple of Geordie kids were ironically singing sunlan’s a massive club and one or two of the mackem lot were like cheers marras I will say though another mackem team who my boy has played for in the past and I get on well with their parents are spot on, piss taking aside they are just like any fanbase, they care only about their team. It’s class here mind, we have a great caravan pitch and all the parents are together and one of the dad’s is a huge cricket fan and used to play so all the boys have played more cricket than footy and my ten year old seems to love it so I’m gonna try and get him into it as he isn’t into footy at all. Weather is lush too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some right knackers here mind, families getting pissed in the park bars while their kids just run around like lunatics, it’s so hot, get outside and enjoy it instead of being stuck in some bar where the pints are like 6 quid while your kids run amok pleading to go on rides and being told wait we are having a drink. Scousers mainly… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with rest of tourney) We won it, I think my boy is the top scorer in his age group/our side of the groups, again the standard isn’t the best at under 8s, I’ve been more impressed with the ‘keepers, in the final the other team’s ‘keeper had a worldie, but he flopped an a cross and my boy got a head to it and it went in off him for an OG, poor bairn was crying so we started cheering him every time he made a save after that and I gave him MOTM as parents/coaches can decide. Superb tournament though and the organiser is a sound bloke, come and talked to us and the presentation tonight should be class. Watched a few under 12 games, fucking hell young lads today are huge, sure they are on steroids or something! Some top talent it seems from the NE, Manchester, Merseyside and Yorkshire!

Guest HTT II Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 My boy won player of the tournament and top scorer in his age group (under 8s, 18 teams or something I think overall), he cried when his name got called out, voted by other coaches and refs I believe. I won’t lie I was a tad emotional too, super proud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
