Probably. Bring on the Euros.
No, the Simms-Wright combo will be too much for City to handle.
No, but for some reason less likely than Coventry beating them in an FA Cup final.
Doesn't matter, Klopp leaving ensures it will be About Liverpool anyway.
Turtle(neck being worn by a bald bore.)
Why do people like that weirdo, sometimes he comes up in my YouTube shorts and I'm always baffled. With some of the loud shouty morons you just accept they have a young audience and it's cus children are stupid, but he obviously hasn't even got that going for him.Originally Posted by phonics
Even if he goes though the base is there.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist but we can all see that they have cheated their way through FFP and even now I struggle to see how a club who routinely can’t sell out their stadium can make more in commercial revenue than United. Even if it isn’t still ongoing the only way they have got to where they are is by breaking the rules for several years in the first place.
By doing that they have been able to basically write off £50 million players if they haven’t worked out. No one else in the league can do that, Liverpool needed basically every transfer to come off for 3 summers to challenge them as well as a top class manager. Arsenal the same, City don’t have that same issue spend £50 million on a defender like Cancelo and Pep doesn’t like him anymore fine bomb him out.
The thought of a luxury tax which you have to pay if you exceed the caps rather than points deductions will just play into their hands further. Ditto Newcastle the league is only going one way and all this shite about the league being the most competitive in the world will start to wear off once it becomes obvious it’s turning into the German or French league.
City will come back to the field once Pep goes.
His coaching elevates the baked in advantage money gives them to another level. That their major money rivals, United and Chelsea, have been run by absolute spastics over the same period has obviously helped, but both Pep, and rival incompetence won't last forever.
I think any reasonably good manager could win the league with the current City squad/set-up. They should really have won at least one more Champions' League out of the last few as well.
Losing that one to Tuchel's Chelsea was embarrassing. Didn't lay a glove on us in the game either.
That champions league run was utterly dominant. Kante with the highest peak you can get in football without being involved in goals against Atletico, Real and City
Thiago Silva is leaving Chelsea.
Who is Waff going to blame when Pochettino gets the sack, Silva is gone and they are still dogshit?
Not sure Waff will be blaming anyone when Smallpockets gets the bullet, he'll be too busy parading through the streets of Dundee like a modern day Lady Godiva.
I see Amorim is flapping. If word is to be believed, once Alonso ruled himself out of the Liverpool job he saw himself as our only option. He then upped his price significantly(he wanted huge wages and a big signing bonus). Liverpool then backed off, as it would have cost them some £30m or so to get him and his staff in. He's then very publicly gone and flown over for talks with West 'am to try and get us to budge but we haven't.
We've opted for Arne Slot and his staff who are costing well below £10m to bring in. Amorim is now having to go and plead forgiveness from Sporting and could end up out of a job there because of it too.
I never see the point of that kind of greed (unless he's a Mendes client and Mendes didn't want him at Liverpool for political reasons). Once you've been Liverpool manager then even if you are a disaster and get sacked in October, the worst case scenario is you can live off it for a decade and earn £ managing in the UAE or wherever.
The last bit does sound a bit farfetched though. I get that tensions might be higher than usual, but he got them their first league title in 20-odd years and is well on course for a second one.
Definitely sounds like a pro-Liverpool spin on whatever has gone on.
Couldn't blame him for trying to manouevre into a Potter-esque retirement situation when it all inevitably blows up in his [or now Arne's] face.
Why would be let go from sporting even be a big issue? Surely he’d have more option open up with a release clause being triggered
I'm counting on Amorim going somewhere with more money than sense and insisting they break the bank to take Gyokeres with him, the sell-on will fund us for the next two years.
I can see Arsenal buying him for 65-70m
If anyone is bored, this is a good game... a looks like it could kick off later on.

Going all American.
Five times the lowest amount of TV revenue doesn't sound like a particularly 'sustainable' model although I suppose it is better than something tethered to individual revenues.

Who would want that shite?
Would Leicester want Maguire back? We wanted Rashford a couple of seasons' back but I'm glad we stayed away. To be honest, our midfield is set.
Sancho's doing alright at Dortmund, isn't he? McTominay's probably going to find a buyer, too.

At least they've got competent people running the football side of things for the first time in a generation.
Almost certainly is some spinning going on. That's also the first time I've remembered of Potter for a while. Has he really just sat at home since the Chelsea gig fell through?
Have Cov managed the classic FM tactic of tacking 50% of next sale on? Because he could fetch you a pretty penny, even if it's a more realistic 10-20%
15%, reducing to 10% if the 4m additional payment has already been triggered
Get him sold now Sporting, I want a new midfield
Big tasty match here. Mon the Tucheliban.
'It's a setting fit for the very best.'
*pans across Eric Dier*
Classic Real Madrid that.
You don't really see goals like that much now.
TNT not putting this on their 4K channel is lazy as fuck.
Oh dear Lunin.
Sane really has been eternally disrespected, that is outrageous.
Lucas Vazquez
Not sure he can do a lot about that, I'd say Mendy shouldn't have let Sané cut inside so easily.
I genuinely can't stand McManaman and I think I've only watched about 3 matches with him on commentary.
Clive Tyldesley is on CBS, fix up.
I'm just watching the first reliable stream I've found to be honest and I can't be bothered looking for another one.
Kim Min-Jae has been so fucking bad today.
Everything Real have done in this match is down to him.
He's trying his very best to make the Eric Dier transfer look decent.

That's a nightmare. Does whaling out on a mobile game count as a betting breach? There's your loophole, Sandro.
A new record for Pochettino and the medical staff. 14 players on the ‘injury report’ surpassing the previous total of 12. The lowest was 6 against Liverpool first game of the season.
Deserved that, Dortmund have been the better team so far.

Someone get the transfer thread up and running. I know those squad/player value things have always been wonky but some of that is absolutely batshit. Would love to know what they've been smoking at the CEIS Football Observatory.
£63m for Antony is particularly special.
Algorithms run the game now
https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/de...a3b918f2d40151
48 of these houses, or the right to have Antony play football for you. Which are you going for?
Such a tease.
Will Still to leave Reims in the summer. He's a hammer isn't he? Off to replace Moyes?
He's gone now, no waiting around. They've been a bit crap this season looking at their results.
Position onze isn't bad when you're as crap a town as that. Mind you, Brest are 3rd and that's an even smellier version of Plymouth.
There's some joke about Brest being within reaching distance of the top 2 but I can't formulate it.
