This is hilarious. It’s reached a point where I suspect these Everton players might actually just be laughing at us now, as there’s no way this is legit. This is Yerry Mina in the Telegraph today…
“The truth is Professor Marco spoke to me every day, telling me to come to England”. PROFESSOR MARCO!!! Hahahaha fucking hell. It gets better.
“I was always focused on Everton. Any talk with Manchester United was just to my agent,” said Mina. “I have always been aware of English football – Manchester United, Manchester City, Everton, Tottenham.” Haha good job there with the notable omission, that’ll play well with the Bitters.
There’s more. “But Everton has always been an important club for me, honestly. I watched them when back in the day when Fellaini was playing here.”
Ok just stop right there, what do you take us for? There isn’t a person in the world who follows a team just because Fellaini is in it, not even Fellaini’s mum, so I’m calling bullshit on this.
I hear he also said something about how he loved watching Aaron Lennon too but that never made it into the article. Understandable really, imagine interviewing someone and they’re coming out with such outlandish shit that you’re wondering “is he having a laugh at my expense here?”.

L 2 Fulham 0 Fairly straightforward. We played ok, nothing more, but it was enough. Fulham gave a better account of themselves than most teams who come to Anfield and at least they weren’t scared to cross the halfway line. They should have gone in front but Sessegnon fluffed his lines, and when he missed that any hope Fulham had of getting something disappeared.
Mo looked really sharp and took his goal well. Great counter attack that, just like last season that was. There’s no finer sight in football than a Reds quick break, I fucking love it. More of this please.
I was really shocked to see that Fulham were 25/1 to win today. Those kind of odds are usually reserved for San Marino or the Faroes playing Germany or something, but apparently this is becoming more and more common now as the gap grows between the haves and the have nots. Red Star were 22/1 to beat us last week. 22/1 to win a home game in the Champions League?!?! Mental. That’s the kind of price I’d expect if we got a non-league side in the FA Cup.

Sturridge is in hot water. Initial reports are sketchy but it seems he is in breach of the FA’s gambling policy. Maybe he took that 22/1 on Red Star last week? It’d certainly explain that fucking sitter he ballooned.
Seriously though, I bet (no pun intended) this is a storm in a teacup. Sturridge is not going to be betting on games or anything like that. I highly doubt he’d be ‘betting’ at all. There’s some talk that it relates to people weighing in on his loan move to West Brom and that he must have ‘leaked’ it.
Hold on a fucking minute. He’s entitled to tell whoever the fuck he likes if he’s moving clubs. If bookies want to offer odds on shit like that, then it’s on them if they get stung. What an absolute joke. “Sorry Daniel, you can’t tell your friends and family you’re moving back home to the Midlands because it’s not fair on the bookies”. Get the fuck outta here.
Bookies will offer odds on any old shit so if they get caught out once in a while by someone with a bit of inside info, so what. They’ll survive. Let’s not forget that half the shit we see peddled on SSN about players moving clubs is solely to get people to throw some dosh on SKyBet. If this FA charge is indeed based on Studge telling people he’s moving clubs, he should fight it all the way.

I read this morning that Joe Cole announced his retirement today, and I had to check to make sure I hadn’t time travelled back to 2010. He’s only retiring now? When was the last time you even heard his name? Where’s he been, who has he been playing for?
Also today, I saw a tweet from Marcotti saying Barca’s wage bill is 44% higher than United’s, and 62% higher than City’s. Hmmm. Firstly I’m not buying it that United’s wage bill is that much bigger than City’s (I know they vastly overpay shite like Pogba and Sanchez, but still), but the real take away here is that Barcelona need a new accountant, because no fucking way are they paying anything like what City are.
Wednesday Nov 14:
More revelations about City. Turns out they paid £51m to sign Tevez back in the day. That money all went direct to the company that owned him (basically it all went to Joorabchian as it was his company) and Tevez was being paid £210k a week. Football is a fucking horrible dirty business these days. Just a chance for leeches to get rich for doing fuck all.
I mean look at this shit today with that Scudamore prick. The PL have asked all of the clubs to donate 250k to get him a leaving present!! Honestly, that might actually be the most shocking football story I’ve ever heard. Someone actually thought that was an appropriate thing to do? Imagine being a chief exec of a PL club and opening your inbox and finding that email. I’d be looking for the mention of a Nigerian Prince, as it reeks of scam.
Meanwhile, Harry Kewell is sacked by Notts County. We still haven’t seen the best of him.
Fulham also sacked their manager today and immediately appointed Ranieri. One of his first moves is apparently to try and sign Matip. Let’s face it, Fulham’s defence needs urgent attention and Matip is a good player, but we can’t be letting him go mid-season as we might need him. Next summer though, let Big Bird go and bring in that Dutch kid De Ligt. Virgil loves him and he’s meant to be a massive prospect, so get it done. Sorry Joel.

There’s been some talk recently of a new deal for Robertson. He’s got three and a half years left but it’s standard club policy to give new contracts when a player has outperformed his contract, and Robbo has certainly done that. Whatever he’s being paid isn’t nearly what he’s worth. James Pearce reckons the club have no intention of doing anything though as he has so long left on his current deal.
I feel like it’s taking advantage of the fact that Robbo won’t be arsed about it and will be happy with what he has. Put it this way, if he was a superstar foreign striker and not a humble Scottish left back they’d be following him round with a contract and a pen begging him to sign. Not that it seems to be working with Mané like. He's defo off I reckon. I'm not even arsed, when he goes I'd bet good money that Klopp will find someone better.
Ok, here’s something that’s pissed me off for ages and I’m finally going to say something. The word ‘bromance’. It’s shit but it’s being used more and more. I hate it. People can’t be mates any more without some cunt calling it a ‘bromance’. As an example, Lovren and Mo are big mates, but any time there’s some sort of interaction between them I see some shitty news article or some tool on social media referring to their ‘bromance’. Just fuck off.
Speaking of Lovren though, Modric was asked about the criticism Big Dejan levelled at Ramos last week, and he said this: "Ramos is a great player and a great captain. In my opinion, all the criticism he has received is irrelevant. In football everyone has a very short memory. He has character and I am sure that criticism does not matter to him."
Did he just call Lovren “irrelevant”? I think he did you know. No bromance going on there thats for sure.
Trent scored tonight in Wayne Rooney's testimon... what, it was an actual real international fixture? Why was Rooney playing then? No-one seems to know but there's lots of wailing about it. Don't see the harm in it myself, other nations would do this for their top players and they were only playing America. They could have brought Bobby Charlton on and still won. He was probably outside flogging tickets though.

Not much going on really other than internationals. This caught my eye today from Southgate though: “Last night they were watching TV with a picture of Danny Welbeck by the side of it” Is he sure they weren’t just watching Red Dwarf? Yeeeeooowwwwwwww.
The most notable thing today though is Big Dejan and his epic rant on Instagram after Croatia’s win over Spain last night.
So when I first saw this I didn’t know how to react. I felt as though I probably should be frowning upon it, as it’s not really becoming of a Liverpool player to act like that. Generally the Liverpool Way has been to do all the talking on the pitch, they don’t do this type of thing, never have done.
On the other hand though, Ramos is a cunt and Lovren is sticking it to him in a way that none of us can.
So on reflection, I feel as though this might be one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen. I mean think about it, Lovren elbowed him in the head, called him a pussy and taunted him over the result. What’s not to love? All we can do is insult him on Twitter, so thanks Dejan for living our dream.
That was the week that was….
