First match I ever attended at Anfield was 87/88 against Spurs as an 8 year old. My dad had managed to get hold of a pair of season tickets for the day in the Kemlyn right at the end next to the Kop s

All of it. It's gone, hasn't it?

 

Within a couple of years half the clubs in England will be owned by despots, and half the players will have fucked off to play in the Bahrain fourth division for £80m a week.

 

The BBC and Sky will occasionally mention that this development may not be wonderful for football as a whole, while also wanking themselves silly about Newcastle's title win and James Ward Prowse's freekicks for Al-Ofthisisfuckingshite.

 

 

Meanwhile we'll be offering new contracts to Henderson, Gomez and Adrian, talking about how we're looking forward to the challenge of the Europa Conference League.

Newcastle fans are even worse than city fans. No embarrassment "what can they do" they actively act as the Saudi Regimes personal defendants. Murder and dismember a journalist is fine because *random whataboutery* they are the absolute perfect shills for a sportwashing regime, the Saudis couldn't not of picked a better fanbase to represent them. Nothing they win will ever mean shit to anybody else the same as city, zero respect from any quarter other than by those being paid to push the illusion its still a sport.

They killed Football in 1993, all we're seeing now is the twitching corpse.

One for the shitness of modern life but apparently Gary Neville is going to be a new dragon on dragons den. 

 

Please no, fucking hell. I know it does tend to have gobshites as Dragon's but he'll be fucking unbearable. Hopefully Peter Jones bullies him like he does Touker.

It's not the most conventional managerial career, Australia, India, Saudi Arabia.

 

It's the kind of career where you'd expect him to pop up as the manager of Togo in a World Cup sometime in the future.

 

Bit of the Herve Renards about it.
