Modern football is shit.  

Get onto youtube and watch the good stuff of the 60s/70s and 80s.

Often do.  
I love watching videos of LFC from 1974 onward.  Some of the pitches back then are fantastic.  Players these days would probably refuse to play.

The word "moment". Klopp uses it as do a lot of other foreign coaches. "In zis moment". It irritates me a little but I've just heard the English Rangers manager say "we're creating good moments". Get to fuck. Nobhead. 

 

Tacked on to "suffering" really is the double whammy.

 

Interviewer: "That was a tough second half."

 

Winning manager: "We were suffering in this moment."

What is your word of 'overuse' in German?

 

OK smartass. 

 

"Aber"

 

Aber means "but" though it's quite acceptable to slip it into "das ist zehr gut" or "that is very good" which can be said as "das ist aber zehr gut" which still translates to "that is very good". Pointless. 

 

Well you did ask.

Clubs being allowed to stockpile players spending absurd amounts without any sort of comeback sporting integrity my arse

[Red Shift]

 

And you may ask yourself….well…how did we get here? Apologies if already posted.

 

 

[ZonkoVille77]

Done with it now.

Winning!

So basically what the PL did to European football is the same what Saudi started to do to the PL?
 

But it was not so bad because the UK has always fought for human rights.

 

It’s all about human rights and weapons of mass destruction you know …

Yes, the Prem’ has fucked over Europe. It’s out of control. FSG are never going to compete financially with the likes of Man City, Newcastle and now, Chelsea. Can we, as fans, accept our place in the pecking order?

Abolishing maximum wage wasn’t as damaging as allowing clubs to play as many foreigners as they can pay for.

 

I think the Athletic Bilbao model is how it should be for all clubs everywhere.

I do have a very basic grasp of German 'nur ein bisschen' if you like. I'd be very pleased if my German was anywhere as good as Klopp's English.

Aber also means 'river mouth' or 'mouth of a river' in Welsh too.

Guess who has the early saturday game straight after the international shite break?.....

 

 

Yeah you got it in one - Liverpool.

 

Against the shite as well.

Headline on NewsNow: 'I don't think': Paul Merson'. You can't fault that.

[NoelM]

This really pisses me off, a picture of Trent with the headline makes him the fall guy for time wasting.

After all the times we put up with it last season and the incident with him last weekend was the only one cited. 

@dave u wasn't there some game last season you mentioned in passing?

[Bobby Hundreds]

The only picture that should be headlining an article like that is a Newcastle badge. Last season they were a disgrace for time wasting the worst I've ever seen.

Lavia saying he chose Chelsea over us because of their 'history'. Even for someone of his age, that's a frying-pan-hitting-the-head level of stupid.

It was us that upset him though, it definitely wasn't money followed by bullshit excuses about project and history.

[aws]

By history he must mean that short period of time when laundered money made them one of the richest clubs in the world.

They’re still laundering by the looks of it!! Might as well get fucking Persil as their shirt sponsor.

Just realised we have the early game after the 1st break in Sep too.

 

Absolute bollocks - the club need to complain about this - happens far too often and here we are again with it after both the first two breaks.

just do what United did and get the fans to invade the stadium as a protest and get the match called off

[No2]

Lads pulling their shorts up to show off their legs. Declan Rice is an awful tosser for it, the lump up front for Chelsea thinks he's on a beach.
