The January Football Thread

[Don]

Niko, if you want in on the testicle-play you just tell me petal.

Antony putting in some shift already :D

[Waffdon]

Casemiro has been glided past about 3 times since half time.

[niko_cee]

This is sort of the problem with making no effort to play football whatsoever. But, you know, keep on keeping it tight. I suppose this is better than the last outing against City.

[Gray Fox]

Having to suffer through Oxlade-Chamberlain in a Liverpool team in 2023.

I'll base the scale of the Brighton victory off how big Taz goes on his pre-game post.

[Don]

I may struggle to sufficiently compose myself enough from the lolling at Malacia but hold tight.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The linesman is a piece of shit.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Not a fucking chance Rashford isn't interfering there. He's clearly shepherded the ball and stopped defenders getting to it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Smart from Rashford, class.

[Gray Fox]

Further proof the offside rule is bollocks.

[Waffdon]

The offside rule is so pathetic. Rashford literally runs across the defence to clear the way for Fernandes. :lol:

[Ben]

How is that not interference? Game’s gone.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If Walton is right (and I have no reason to doubt him) it's another example of the creeping liberalisation of offside. The power brokers want goals so badly.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Garnacho & Rashford :cool:

Stick that up your shit pipe, Taz.

[-james-]

That is an absolutely insane decision.

[Gray Fox]

City RATTLED.

[Jimmy Floyd]

That is an absolutely insane decision.

It all depends on whether 'preventing an opponent from playing the ball' is deemed to include one's presence preventing any opportunity for them to even try making a play at the ball. If not, it's game's gone stuff.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Casemiro is so good.

[Ben]

Pep’s lost the plot. :D

He’s got a point though, that ridiculous decision has changed everything.

[niko_cee]

If Walton is right (and I have no reason to doubt him) it's another example of the creeping liberalisation of offside. The power brokers want goals so badly.

Save for when one's ankle is 4mm offside whilst running away from goal on the touchline.

[Don]

Always the danger with the amount of favela cunts that they'd cheat their way back into this. Grim.

[niko_cee]

No Nunez?

:(

At least Trossard seems to have fallen out of favour by being a twat [which is both a shame and a bit perlexing from a Brighton perspective].

You hate to see Pep & Co going into existential crisis mode. Just a shame their Champions League last 16 is a way off or they could go into full meltdown.

[-james-]

Did you see the stuff Trossard's agent has said? Hard to know if it's him and/or De Zerbi that's the melt.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:rave:

[Luca]

Don? Penny for your thoughts?

[Waffdon]

Arsenal absolutely romping this. Fuck off, Pep

[niko_cee]

The triple captain jinx has had a strong impact on the alien. Spurs to roll them over in the week as well?

[randomlegend]

Niko, if you want in on the testicle-play you just tell me petal.

Antony putting in some shift already :D

Hahahahaha gargle my fucking man gravy you mong cunt.

[Lewis]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVllZ6y0V3U

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Incredible stuff, might have to book a trip to Naples sharpish having watched The Hand of God recently.

What's dildoboy on? When I say I want Juve to win that's out of support. When I say City are gonna creampie Utd and have you licking the residue off my hairy balls, that's football insight/heritage.

Football insight and heritage down the fucking drain.

[Gray Fox]

Spurs to roll them over in the week as well?

Let's not take it too far.

[niko_cee]

Did you see the stuff Trossard's agent has said? Hard to know if it's him and/or De Zerbi that's the melt.

No, all I'd seen was something about him leaving training early before the FA Cup game.

[randomlegend]

1614267522160680962

Easy.

[Don]

Look at these soft utd lads getting hyped, first sign of testosterone detected in their rotund systems.

[Dark Soldier]

Suck ya mam's cock Taz ya alopecian fraud

Yanited

[randomlegend]

:happycry:

[randomlegend]

1 point off second.
Lewis we're winning the league.

[Gray Fox]

No, all I'd seen was something about him leaving training early before the FA Cup game.

He's also been told he's dropped and in response has fucked off through the Eurotunnel without the clubs say so. They've no idea where he's going.

[niko_cee]

Liverpool will probably try to sign him to solve their forwards crisis.

[Lewis]

I went out for dinner expecting a 4-1 defeat. Erik ten Hag's Baldy Reds.

[niko_cee]

Just seen Rotherham absolutely pumped Blackburn. The Championship is such a mad league.

[Lewis]

Absolutely love Nuno Nernandes celebrating his goal and appealing for it in a single swarthy movement.

[randomlegend]

Shaw centre back against Haaland is a bit :uhoh:

Haaland pocketed by fucking Luke Shaw. Amazing.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Is it even possible to pocket Haaland? He is barely involved in the general play most of the time. Either he scores or he doesn't.

It's more about pocketing the various blokes creating for him.

[Dquincy]

1 point off second.
Lewis we're winning the league.

Need to finish first mate, not second.

[Giggles]

Predictably Haaland won’t score 60 this season.

[randomlegend]

Is it even possible to pocket Haaland? He is barely involved in the general play most of the time. Either he scores or he doesn't.

Didn't score = pocketed.

[Don]

Brighton and Mitoma in particular absolutely raping our dregs.

[Gray Fox]

This display somehow worse than the Wolves one.

Give Brighton a lot of credit as they're a good team, but this is horrible.

[niko_cee]

Classic Brighton though. All the ball, and no goals.

[Gray Fox]

A lot of the problem is a lot of the players seem to just take the easy option. Instead of trying to play through their press, which is the way you have to beat it, they're putting it into midfield, the player sees no easy pass, just lays it back and it gets hoofed long. I've seen Klopp go mental at it about 3 times so far.

This 4-4-2 or diamond or whatever it actually is he's tried is failing miserably too. 36% possession and no shots on target in the first half.

[Kikó]

Some of that you fucking blue cunts

[Raoul Duke]

Liverpool :huhu:

[-james-]

Having not seen the game at all last night it comes as no great surprise to find out that with the game on the line Solly 'the great enigma' March Harry Kane'd what would have been the winning penalty into orbit. Not sure I've ever known a player with a stronger aversion to scoring. The ways he finds to miss ostensibly unmissable chances never ceases to amaze. How do you become an elite level footballer, primarily [or at least originally] as an attacker whilst having 0 for both composure and finishing?



Prime Messi ever since this post.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Solly March :cool:

[Mike]

We really have gone wrong this season.

[Don]

Prime Messi ever since this post.

They won't talk about it because niko is white.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The curse is real.

[randomlegend]

That Liverpool line-up is absolutely rancid

[niko_cee]

Prime Messi ever since this post.

Yeah, De Zerbi has shown a lot of faith in him and is certainly getting the rewards of that. It's good to see as, as was my original point, his aversion to scoring was entirely inexplicable.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Welbeck rolling back the years.

[Shindig]

Liverpool have burnt right out.

[Luca]

Duas up for our boy Taz.

[Gray Fox]

Liverpool v Chelsea is going to be one for the ages.

[Lofty]

Wonder what petty shit Klopp will do after this, him asking Onuoha if he had ever played football last week was quite lol

[niko_cee]

Hopefully he tries to bundle Caicedo into a holdall.

At least the bottom of the table is providing the lolz, Everton and West Ham right in the shite. Freeze the table now [sorry Andy].

[Ben]

Goodison Seethe in full flow.

[Giggles]

Goodison Seethe in full flow.

They do not sound happy.

[Waffdon]

Chelsea’s best centre half currently at Brighton. :lol:

Future England captain

[Dark Soldier]

It all went to shit for Liverpool when the nonce-hugger had his teeth whitened.

[Gray Fox]

Wonder what petty shit Klopp will do after this, him asking Onuoha if he had ever played football last week was quite lol

What I'd like from him(and I think this is starting to show up more across the fan base) is to cut the shit.

Either there is money to spend and you're holding off on it out of loyalty to your players, or there just isn't any to spend at all. Either way, don't give it any cryptic answers and get annoyed at people for asking. Just fucking say John Henry said no money.

And player injuries is another. Time and time again we lose players and there's absolutely no info on how long they're out or even why. As an example, Firmino had was was said to be a 10-14 day 'thing.' Well he's now been out well over a month and isn't in training yet. When is Van Dijk back? Not a clue.

[Don]

I reckon it's the 7 year curse. And Trent is finished. And Nunez was anonymous. And...

[Giggles]

No Mane.

[Danny]

https://i.imgflip.com/77h8wu.jpg

[niko_cee]

Losing Mane and Wijnaldum off the left flank has been hard, particularly seeing as they were both essentially financial decisions.

[niko_cee]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64194919

Is the guy pictured seriously 17?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Toney had money on him as FGS.

[Ian]

Just watched the United highlights. Ten Hag has definitely told Rashford that sometimes you have to stop cocking about and hit the bastard thing.

Also the offside rule is a total joke but fuck Pep so whatever.

[niko_cee]

Just seen Pep's super seethe post match interview.

:drool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

West Ham, Everton and Southampton football clubs in 'gation zone. That's some serious PL 'eritage going down the tubes as of halfway.

[SvN]

Bwahaha at Liverpool. Tongue my hairy balls, Taz.

[Lewis]

I bet he understood about five per cent of that.

[Shindig]

Lads, it's only relegation.

[Lewis]

Hard to see this one (https://twitter.com/LFCMainStand/status/1610401245230993408) (Baz) being topped.

[randomlegend]

1614340458230030337

I bet he understood about five per cent of that.

He'll get sent off in the first ten minute next game for a PASHUN tackle.

[Don]

That offside call gets better with every viewing, there's a new layer of interference with every watch :D

Trashford on fire though. If he manages to get his 4th double-figure and first 20-goal league campaign of his career, we'll have to sit down and consider the Mbappe comparisons.

[randomlegend]

:happycry:

[Luca]

Some respect please, RL. That might be the most intelligent thing Taz has said on this board for years.

[Giggles]

Been a while since Taz has been visibly hurting this bad.

[Don]

That MGW passage of play and assist for Forest's second is some of the finest football you'll see this season across Europe. Outrageous stuff from a serious talent.

Edit: look how massive I am. Always delivering.

[Baz]

I’m not sure these lads (https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/freddie-xavi) chose the best day to go to Goodison. :harold:

Still, 74 to go.

I thought he had just stopped to talk to them out of the goodness of his heart. I didn't realise they had blocked the road with wheelie bins. The Anthony Gordon footage is proper lol.

[Shindig]

After seeing that offside decision, I'd recommend all defenders in the same position to just go through the back of the striker. It stops the play and VAR call will render anything after it moot.

[Waffdon]

Benoit Badiashile and Carney Chukwuemeka starting. Potter finally learning :wub:

[niko_cee]

What in the name of midlife crisis is this (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64266765)?

Hasn't his tennis thing gone down the toilet as well? And Shakira's doing diss tracks about him to boot. All coming up Pique.

[niko_cee]

Bizarre penalty for Fulham there.

Should probably make deliberate scuffing of the spot an instant red seeing as it is so widespread now.

Trippier moving the freekick foam earlier as well, just get to fuck with that.

[Ben]

Newcastle have Bolo Zenden to thank for that rule.

[Shindig]

I really, really wish we were more clinical. The second half of this season's going to be a grind.

[Gray Fox]

If the good Bruno is injured for a while you may struggle too.

[Spikey M]

Arsenal could get double figures against that Spurs lineup.

[Waffdon]

Potter ending the game with a back 5 of Azpilicueta, Chalobah, Silva, Badiashile, Koulibaly was a genuine disgrace. Game was comfortable and he decides to just try sit deep against a team with 1 away goal in the 2nd half all season.

Badiashile is what Koulibaly was supposed to be. Absolute giant but just as good on the ball as Silva.

[Shindig]

Palace is next and I do wonder if Howe will rest players ahead of the semi-final first leg.

[thommo]

Really quite irritating that we've been punished because a whole gaggle of Newcastle defenders were stomping around the spot before the penalty. Not to mention Almiron's a couple of steps inside the box when it was taken.

Nevertheless we didn't play that well today, definitely 2nd best overall. Gave it away a lot in our half. Can't wait to see Callum Wilson's career end though, hopefully soon. Absolute cunt.

[niko_cee]

Yeah, he's a first class bellend. Seeing him getting wound up by Joel Veltman at the Amex last season was something to behold. More than met his shithouse match.

[Ben]

Lloris ffs :D

We’d have won the World Cup if Kane didn’t blast that penalty into orbit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lolris.

How he's still employed I do not know.

[Waffdon]

Lloris again :lol: :lol: :lol:

[niko_cee]

Llolris at it again.

Maybe Arsenal's luck is going to hold this season.

[Gray Fox]

Club Captain too. Wonderful stuff.

[Raoul Duke]

Barthez with more hair

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Barthez with more hair

Fuck you, Barthez was quality.

[SincereTheRebel]

I hate GKs being captains
All central defenders should wear black boots

[Waffdon]

It amazes me how good Son has and can be when his 1st touch is as bad as it is

[niko_cee]

Spurs look horrendous.

[Gray Fox]

I think it's more a case of Arsenal making them look so.

[Spikey M]

Lloris just needs to be taken out back to be put out of his misery at this point.

[Spikey M]

Arsenal could get double figures against that Spurs lineup.

They might only manage 5 at this rate, which would be frankly embarrassing for Arsenal against what is essentially a Championship team with 3 decent strikers.

[Waffdon]

Martin Tyler really needs to to retire

[Giggles]

Martin Tyler really needs to to retire

About 5 years ago.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I know people get upset because he doesn't always scream for goals, but his voice remains about 100x more authoritative than anyone else on Sky's books and they badly need that for the product.

[Kikó]

That spurs first half was one of the worst performances I've seen since, I guess, the end of Ragnick.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

1614690833080385536

Xhaka wanted to murder the fan who kicked Ramsdale.

[phonics]

Richarlison is such a dirty little chav and that runt trying to get a kick in and then doing a runner is pathetic.

[randomlegend]

Is he saying "I want to take him on" at the end? :D

[Spikey M]

If you're going to get a kick in and get a criminal record and/or lifetime ban atleast make it worthwhile. Put your fucking back into it. What a fanny.

[Lofty]

Tottenham are rats. Water is wet.

[phonics]

1614703576009392129

I though you said the Liverpool fans would burn Anfield down if they got taken over by an oil state? :harold:

[Don]

The above was a light-hearted post to incite. The original point stands. I'll be fucked if I care enough to know who these parties are but if the fanbase don't want them, they won't be allowed to purchase and remain in power. This is Liverpool lad, not some Wout Weghorst vehicle.

[Jimmy Floyd]

PSG and Liverpool owned by the same people is surely not something that can actually happen.

[Lewis]

'Look mate we obviously care about 'uman rights and that mate Scousers aren't we mate but...'
*it's fine because Liverpool have History*

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The Scousers would even get behind Rupert Murdoch if he put up enough cash as an owner.

[Lewis]

Pun intended.

[Ben]

Never thought I'd see the day where Liverpool end up as a feeder club for PSG.

[Lofty]

How's Odegaard watch going, Taz?

[Gray Fox]

1614745763988242433

No idea what this account is or how credible it is but ugh.

IIRC they're a re-poster of anything Liverpool related. Their news only as reliable as whoever told them it in the first place.

I personally wouldn't like it to happen. FSG have run the club exactly as it should have been run for 10 years, with the exception of that Super League bollocks.
We've had Anfield restored and a new training ground built self sufficiently.
Their failing if you can call it that has been to not take any risks with transfers.

[Don]

Starting to sweat it ngl, a few more speculative 30 yard crawlers being allowed to slip in by midget keepers and his honours list might begin to improve on Bruno Fernandes.

https://youtu.be/xz6GefkgDCk

“Willy is such a good young man and he won’t come out and say he doesn’t like it,” Marsch said. “But the reality is I think he thinks it’s time to move on from that lyric.”

Shit chant but :happycry:

[Spikey M]

Why is everyone so fucking soft these days? It was bad enough when it was just women ffs.

[Ben]

Marsch seemed a bit of a lad early doors but the Premier League PR has done a right number on him.

[Boydy]

Racist undertones aside, it must be fucking weird to have a stand full of grown men singing a song about your dick.

[Dark Soldier]

Tbf a lot of these Alpha big ball Tatemen like our own glorious Taz are absolutely obsessed with big black dicks and smaller cocks and grizzly cocks and imagine the throat moistoning as a huge throbbing black cock glides its way to your willing lips oh Taz purse the lips like a fucking hoover ya slut and so on. Its only natural really.

[Spikey M]

Racist :D

Would it be racist for the Italians (otherwise known as the most racist people in Europe, but I digress) to sing about Tomori eating Pie and chips?

I'll add "racist" to the list of words that have lost all meaning.

[Boydy]

Bold of you to be prattling on about the meaning of words when you seemingly can't comprehend more than one word at once.

[wullie]

https://i.imgur.com/0GKqaiG.png





We briefly had a similar song about Reda Johnson until he basically tweeted that everyone should shut the fuck up. Also threatened to shit in the mouth of a reporter talking about how injury prone he was, I miss him.

[Spikey M]

Bold of you to be prattling on about the meaning of words when you seemingly can't comprehend more than one word at once.

Words of one syllable in future please.

Making tackles whilst drinking his tea
He drives a shit clapped out mini

RACIST.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I like Marsch. The league has room for one of him.

[Waffdon]

Will be funny to see who Potter leaves out of the CL squad for the knockouts. They can only register 3 new players so if they sign anyone else somebody is missing out.

[Lofty]

It will be funny to see the effect on morale.

Would Mudryk not be cup tied?

[Gray Fox]

They fixed that about two years ago.

We signed Luis Diaz having played against him in our group and he was fine to play.

[Spikey M]

Will be funny to see who Potter leaves out of the CL squad for the knockouts. They can only register 3 new players so if they sign anyone else somebody is missing out.

I'd just bin someone pointless like the back up keeper. If Mendy gets injured then it's banter centreback in goal time. This generations John Oshea. :drool:

[Alex]

Racist undertones aside, it must be fucking weird to have a stand full of grown men singing a song about your dick.

That's certainly my take on it, and as a Leeds fan too. I just think it's a bit odd. It doesn't even fit in well with the rest of the chant, it's just shoe-horned in there.

There's something increasingly cringe-worthy about football chant culture lately (the last few years) to me anyway. A lot of it seems to be largely driven by little drips who mobilise on social media to make them up, so they can in turn stand around filming each other singing their new creations on the terraces to post back on social media for likes from the same contingent. Sort of a never ending loop of self satisfaction for the "banter" crowd. See also - "limbs", and everything that goes along with all that.

Now obviously I'm not saying I don't want new chants to appear for new players or people to enjoy celebrating a goal. I don't know what I mean really. I'm maybe just being a miserable cunt. I suppose a lot of the organic nature just seems to have gone out of it.

[Boydy]

What is "limbs"?

[niko_cee]

I know there's nothing original, and plagiarism comes from all-corners, but every club having to have their own version of Allez Allez Allez [Arsenal latest culprits at Brighton the other week] is very tiresome.

Come up with your own songs [I appreciate that one was lifted from Porto or wherever].

[Shindig]

Do the City lot still do the Poznan?

[Spikey M]

What is "limbs"?

Performative OTT celebrating. Like the mongs that buy a pint and hold it for 67 minutes just so they can throw it in the air when England score.

[phonics]

So it turns out that the whole Evertons board received credible threats thing was completely made up. That'll endear them to the fans.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I knew no one sent them clothes.

[niko_cee]

I love how Darren Ferguson appears to be entirely unable to escape the pull of Peterborough's gravitational field. Forever doomed to be a legend unable to successfully traverse the 2nd/3rd tier boundary.

[Danny]

Him and Grant McCann

[Shindig]

I thought you meant Duncan Ferguson for a second. He's due a third caretaker stint.

[randomlegend]

Performative OTT celebrating. Like the mongs that buy a pint and hold it for 67 minutes just so they can throw it in the air when England score.

Why's it called "limbs"?

[Spikey M]

Why's it called "limbs"?

I assume because many arms are moving frantically but I have no idea.

[wullie]

Everyone loses control of their limbs in a very spontaneous way that's not contrived at all, maybe something gets thrown in the air due to the sheer unadulterated and captured on camera emotion of it all. When you're watching ballers, limbs aren't far away

[Kikó]

Social media is crap. Actual limbs is great which is basically celebrating because you've scored a last minute winner not because you're recording and want to show everyone how you were there.

[SincereTheRebel]

Wolves have signed Sarabia who ive saw a few games play here and there for PSG. Looks average. Will do a job of keeping Wolves in the league.

[Lofty]

So it turns out that the whole Evertons board received credible threats thing was completely made up. That'll endear them to the fans.

To be fair they said on Football Weekly their chief exec was put in a headlock when she left the director's box after the Brighton game :D

[Jimmy Floyd]

What is the specific criticism of Moshiri/Kenwright, other than 'the team aren't playing very well'? I've never managed to glean this information from the months/years of media reporting.

[Luke Emia]

What is the specific criticism of Moshiri/Kenwright, other than 'the team aren't playing very well'? I've never managed to glean this information from the months/years of media reporting.

I think from what I can gather in between the seething it's that although they have spent a lot of money they have pissed it away on shite and that there is no joined up thinking between recruitment of players and hiring of managers of which they have gone through a lot in the last few years.

[Lofty]

When was the last time they signed anyone who seemed like a good buy despite their fairly large spend? Remember when the bought three 10s in the same window.

[niko_cee]

I thought Doucouré would have been decent for them.

Him and Allan seemed like a decent starting point for the team but it all seems to have gone wrong. Is Allan even there anymore?

[SincereTheRebel]

He pissed off to the Saudi League last year

[Kikó]

When was the last time they signed anyone who seemed like a good buy despite their fairly large spend? Remember when the bought three 10s in the same window.

Richarlison?

[Lewis]

I think from what I can gather in between the seething it's that although they have spent a lot of money they have pissed it away on shite and that there is no joined up thinking between recruitment of players and hiring of managers of which they have gone through a lot in the last few years.

I think the specific criticism of Kenwright, who is largely powerless in reality, is that he let the biggest bunch of tits in because they flattered his ego and promised to let him keep poncing around, where as more serious parties (who, nobody knows) would have elbowed him out.

[Baz]

My blue nose father in law was banging on about Eddie Howe coming home to roost, or whatever butchered version of the saying he was using. As if that will ever happen. :harold:

[Lofty]

My Everton supporting colleague told me someone told him Big Dunc was prepped to take over whilst he was on the pec deck the other day. Not sure what tier source scouse gyms are.

[Ben]

So basically it’s Everton fans indirectly criticising the players because, in their words, the board recklessly spunked a load of money on them but when it comes to actually protesting about it, they have spun it as themselves plus players plus Super Frank versus The Board.

Batshit cunts.

[Gray Fox]

All you have to do is turn up to Goodison Park, say red and white shites a few times and then continuously boo for the rest of your time there.

[Don]

I don't know if Darwin is fit or not but if I see Ox starting, I'm gonna seethe. Will miss the first half though so actually, get him in.

[Don]

Jesus, I ain't watching that shit.

[Spikey M]

That's a honking team. Do they not fancy a cup this season? (Cue a 4-0 win)

[Don]

Just the UCL for us this season mate.

Every contender for it is actually in some sort of crisis tbf.

[Gray Fox]

I'm alright with most of that. Goe Jomez is never going to go well as a CB.

I do feel Gakpo is being thrown in the deep end a bit. From watching him, he's going to need that 6 months to get to grips with the physicality of it. Seems a bit lightweight for now.
I'd have loved Doak to start.

[Baz]

Reckon Elliott can go a whole season playing in every game?

[Giggles]

I thought Kelleher wasn’t going to play in the FA Cup.

[SincereTheRebel]

I find myself at this wolves game in -4 degrees. Why are you hear you dickhead.

Is that LiveScore thing right with Milner centre back?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He'll be RB.

Konate and Gomez at CB.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Why is the keeper stood seven yards off his line?

[Gray Fox]

City goalkeeper did the same at Southampton.

[Waffdon]

At least the Southampton player was a lot further out. Sa just looked a bit silly there.

[randomlegend]

Looks like Ratcliffe/Ineos are going hard to buy United.

I know all billionaires are bastards, but this seems about the least bastard ownership we could realistically end up with so fingers crossed.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Andre Marriner looks like a man who has had enough of this shit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Scousers will do that to you.

From what I’ve heard working at ineos is unpleasant, so would be interested to see whether he’s equally ruthless if it does go through. Can imagine there’s a lot of “jobs” that he would baulk at.

[Waffdon]

One day Wolves won’t play 3 defensive minded midfielders in the middle together. So boring. Left back out wide too and the most defensive striker going.

[Gray Fox]

Pressing has been much better today. Bajcetic impressing me a lot. He got bullied by De Bruyne a few weeks back and has bounced back very well from it.

I just wish they'd try and string a few more passes together instead of lumping it. The goal came from playing it out and taking a risk or two.

Yeah it’s amazing what having a younger team can do in terms of legs. Elliott looks a lot better on the left wing as well, he’s nowhere near ready to play in central midfield at the minute.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I like pundit Shearer and bloke Shearer, but co-commentator Shearer is terrible. Like a rubbish imitation of Lawro.

[mo]

Any of you Liverpool lot know much about Jake Cain? Our second perm signing from your lot following Tom Clayton in the summer. Heard good things, and if he's anywhere near as decent as Clayton, we'll be laughing.

[Manc]

Gapko looks lost.

[Shindig]

Ben Doak will never make it with that hair.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If you neutralise the respective physical attributes, I reckon there are likely several TTHers better at the game than Adama Traore.

[Waffdon]

Pretty pathetic effort from Wolves all told. Liverpool looked absolutely bang average and they played scared the majority of it. No idea why as they looked good in the 1st game.

[Gray Fox]

Liverpool in control, if not unspectacularly so, right up until the Liverpool subs.

Taking Bajcetic and Thiago off to move Elliott into the midfield completely opened it up to Wolves.

[Don]

Check out the Forest Green - Birmingham highlights. FG keeper with the greatest triple save I've ever seen.

Allison chucked one in and their other goal was a bizarre deflection. For all their 'looking good' they were pretty toothless in that game as well, they just didn't scab any goals today.

[phonics]

Just left Albion - Chesterfield.

1) I’m so fucking cold.
2) That Jake Livermore had an extended period in the England team is beyond belief. Wouldn’t say it to his face though. Big boy.

YouTube prankster Daniel Jarvis claimed he was behind the stunt, posting a video on Twitter that appeared to show him at Molineux.

Jarvis was handed a suspended sentence last October after being convicted of aggravated trespass over an incident in which he collided with England cricketer Jonny Bairstow while invading the Oval pitch in south London during Test Match.

He was given an eight-week prison sentence suspended for two years and was banned from attending any venue where a sporting fixture is being held in England and Wales for two years.

This guy's going to prison for this then?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Hopefully. Absolute weapon.

[Spikey M]

Geezer should be knighted.

[niko_cee]

Check out the Forest Green - Birmingham highlights. FG keeper with the greatest triple save I've ever seen.

Was it a triple save or was the last one just an incredible miss? Doesn't look like his hand is near it. Possibly the greatest miss of all time.

The Hawthorns is pretty open isn't it? I think the coldest I've been is United u21s v Someone at Hyde. My feet came out as ice blocks for a meaningless 90 minutes.

[Ben]

I've just been talking with someone at work about the population becoming less intelligent due to not having to work/think for things these days. And then I read about this idiot admitting he did the prank and will now go to prison, all just to stay relevant on YouTube.

They were in your box often enough in the last match, hadn't registered a shot on target by the hour mark this time round.

Edit: just checked the stats for the first game, Wolves 5 shots on target at Anfield = scabbed a goal :D

[Lewis]

Same. Sounds like a great working environment.

Atleast he didn't mention Spaghetti.

Well, at least one of those shots was the open goal Allison offered up, and the other goal went defender clearance, into attackers arse, under Allison's arse, which I guess counts as another shot, so I'm not sure of the merit of that state in isolation. My point wa more that it wasn't like they missed loads of gilt edged chances (and in fact came into the game with the pundits going on about how goal shy they were generally). They played well enough tee to green, and were unlucky to have their 'winner' chalked off, but the other goals were fairly fortunate to say the least. They just reverted to the mean yesterday in the absence of gifts.

Liverpool 1.1-1.1 Wolves
Wolves 1.4-0.15 Liverpool

HTH

[randomlegend]

Weghorst hat-trick incoming.

[Lewis]

Woot Wegghorst.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Decent goal from Gnoto.

[Alex]

Gnonto is the messiah. At least until the summer when when an influx of bigger clubs presumably start queuing up to court his interest.

[Giggles]

There are very few more smackable faces in soccer than that albino playing for Palace.

[Lewis]

Woot Wegghorst.

lol he's so slow.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bruno :cool:

[randomlegend]

lol he's so slow.

He is. Holds up and plays the ball well but is left behind when we counter.

Fruno Bernandes :cool:

That save from De Gea just before was absurd, also.

[Danny]

lol he's so slow.

He made Haller look good. Theres a chance. Not much of one but a chance.

[Waffdon]

Fair play to Ten Haag. He’s got Man Utd back to that Ferguson period of winning whilst doing a whole load of nothing during the game.

Weghorst looks like he should play for Burnley

[Lewis]

Aaron Wan-Dyspraxia running and passing like a footballer might be the biggest miracle of the lot.

[Baz]

There are very few more smackable faces in soccer than that albino playing for Palace.

Will Hughes.

I'm normally good with understanding accents, but the one this French lad on the desk is rocking is a bit potent.
