Nicol: Liverpool cannot just be given the title 

Yes the season should be played out obviously Nicol! the question is what happens if it's not finished.

Loved him as a player but fuck me he spouts some shite these days. Always wander if it's bitterness that he missed the wages of today.

Like his penalty ...Way off target.

He’s genuinely one of the worst pundits out there. 

Fuck off chico.

He's not bitter.  Just thick.

We wouldn't be "given" the title, we have earned it.

He's a cunt. 

He is basically Adrian Durham with tits nowadays.

I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt given that he didn’t seem to be entertaining the idea that the season wouldn’t finish. 
 

If, on the other hand, he doesn’t think we should be champions in the event the season cannot continue, he can fuck off. He wouldn’t be the first player from a club’s golden period to have a bit of niggly resentment over a new generation emulating them.

Nah, like Hamann, he never has a good word for the club. If it wasnt for the fact both of them had distinguished playing careers here, virtually every Liverpool fan would have no time for them.

Nicol giving his opinion on life.

Comes across like a bitter blue. Some of the our ex players in the 80,s that missed out on the big wages have chips on their shoulder. I’ve seen Whelan saying some proper shite as well. 

Constantly when players and journalists get asked about the season ending it always turns to Liverpool yet they always say  “there are more important things than Liverpool and the title there are relegation and promotion issues ...So if they’re more important fucking talk about them then.

Steve Nicol is far from a bitter blue.  He's just a shit pundit on paid troll duty for a media company whose primary audiences have soccer as their 3/4th sport. 

A while back I saw Craig Burley and nicol spend 5 mins discussing whether to have turnips or swede for dinner.

In lockdown tbats a poll possibility for the GF

Alas, no such excuse, it was about a year ago.  Just plain 'ole prime time internet TV.

Good idea for a poll though!  I'm sure Tony will be along shortly.

Uhh, yeah they can, Steve. 

Every time I see his name I can’t help but think of the story the time him, Kenny and Souness were on their way up to a international duty in the snow.

Funny as fuck and explains a lot

Nicol would have been crucified today - or worse, would have been some thick comedy Jimmy Bullard character. 
 

His notoriously terrible diet would have hammered his ability to make it at the top level nowadays too. 
 

Great player in his day, but if he’s bitter about missing out on footballers’ wages in the year 2020 then he’s a mug.

Apart from being a pathetic, shit pundit, that’s absolute bollocks. 
 

Nicol was world class. Could play either full back position, in midfield and even at CB on occasion. 
 

Which other defender do you know that’s scored a hat-trick? 

He was very good - brilliant even. But loads of really good players of the past wouldn’t translate to modern day (fairly sure Stanley Matthews wouldn’t have been still playing top flight football at age 50 if he’d been born in 1970, and his aloft approach to other player might not have translated too well either). 
 

I’m not saying Nicol couldn’t have made it nowadays; I’m saying that his terrible eating habits (notorious even in the days before proper nutrition was introduced to football) would have been a big problem. So he would have either had to make a fundamental change, or it would have hammered him. If he’s bitter about missing out on mega-money then he’s a fool, because he made a good living, whilst living the lifestyle he wanted to.
 

You’re right about his ability to midfield though - he was playing midfield when he scored that hat-trick...

That’s not what you said, if you had I couldn’t have argued with it. 
 

“Nicol would have been crucified today - or worse, would have been some thick comedy Jimmy Bullard character.”.

Is what you said. Which is absolute fucking shite mate.
