  1. Other not top level managers get plaudits too. That alone doesn’t make them good enough for the Liverpool job. What are the nature of these plaudits? That they played some nice football, gave us a tough game, but we still beat them? It’s partly down to football etiquette too. Managers and players are freer with praise than criticism. I mean Dyche was hardly going to come out and say he was shite and that we constantly targeted this or that weakness in his set up when Everton beat them 1-5. Nor was rookie coach De Rossi when Roma tonked them 4-0. Nor Emery when Villa beat them 6-1. Nor Moyes when he played rope-a-dope when West Ham sat off them and cut through them on the counter to win 1-3 at the Amex. And, while I’m not sure that you’re trying to do this anyway, it’ll take more than a few words of praise from others in the game to convince me that a manager who has won some obscure cup with Foggia and the Ukrainian Super Cup with Shakhtar will ever be good enough to manage a club who’s current manager has raised the bar to a level where challenging for titles is expected.
  2. If Xabi is off the cards, I’m all in on the ABDZ hand - anyone but De Zerbi. Just don’t see him doing anything for us. I didn’t mind him for us, but he reminds me of Brendan Rodgers when he joined us. Seems stubbornly wedded to an easy on the eye style of play, but doesn’t have the tactical nous to change if that style is causing the team to be open and leaking goals. And, like Rodgers, he’d be coming because he got a smaller team to play some decent stuff, but without any real record of winning stuff. Which is needed to justify getting the Liverpool job. Just look at two recent managers who came to us whose CV didn’t have recent honours recorded on it. Hodgson and Rodgers. One was a complete disaster. The other ultimately turned out to just not be quite good enough. Then Klopp came in. That broke the recent mould. We need another appointment like that. A manager who’s won something recently. Or who looks like they’re more than a flash in the pan like De Zerbi does. I’d sooner have someone who gets the team playing uglier football but can be a bit more savvy if there’s signs that it’s not working or if the team is getting humped. I’d genuinely sooner have someone like Nagelsmann, Maresca, Slot, Spaletti, Flick or even Gerrard or Mourinho over RDZ.
  3. Such inhumane barbarity. It never ends.
  4. You’d have thought that Fox would be happy that they fucked up on the paperwork. He won’t suffer the embarrassment of his inevitably shite voting figures and he’ll have a spare £10k to pay to the people he’s defamed/Billie and the kids/whoever is next to sue him.
  5. The FA’s statement gives a date range for Tonali’s alleged breaches. They allegedly commenced on 12th August 2023. Newcastle beat Aston Villa 5-1 on this day. Tonali was subbed off in second half injury time. During which, the below happened. Hmmmmmm…
  6. Just have a good brisk walk and buy some resistance bands/tubes for at home. People have mentioned the mental health and social side of the gym. But, they’re largely full of posing biffs or women who only do glute exercises and film themselves doing so for their Insta. I’d rather stay at home. On the topic of walking, I’ve just boxed off the equivalent of three marathons in March and that’s without walking every day and only counting planned walks and not counting everyday life walks to the shop, round town, out with mates/family etc.
  7. Awful penalty. James didn’t look confident. Did Ward go to his right for all of the penalties too?
  8. You'd have thought that they would have learnt after the ridiculously over the top hyping of Januzaj, who turned out to be remarkably average.
  9. International football can go and fuck itself. It was alright while a few of City’s players were picking up knocks, but it’s shite now!
