Top report Dave.

 

We keep hearing about all these other club's injuries as their excuses pile up and then the conspiracy theorists point the finger at our intensity and so-called luck with injuries suggesting our lot are all on performance-enhancing drugs blah blah. What seems to escape them is the backlog of injuries we have suffered this season with 8 players missing for chunks. I even heard that clown Durham on Talksport dismissing our injury record because it didn't include "long term injuries to key players" - huh? Alisson missed all but 37 mins of our first 8 games, we have been down to 2 fit centre backs for the last 6 games and we have had no less than 7 of our midfielders injured so far.

 

That said, who cares - we are unbelievable this season, just keep going reds.

The easiest way to help level the playing field would be to drastically reduce the CL money. At the moment virtually the same clubs every year trouser £50m plus. But it will never happen.  

Would help if some English clubs stopped spending the money they do have on absolute shite. They get a much fairer share of the pie than they do in the rest of the major European league.

 

Villa spent about 130m quid in the summer.

As modern day football has basically been ruined by the mancs commercialisation of everything followed by Chelsea and city financially doping the league to the eyeballs, all these small time clubs and medium size former big teams have to live for is Liverpool not winning the league for so long.  It’s lost it’s magic for so many fan bases.  They’re either bored of it all because they’re not really fans just glory hunting weirdos or they’re supporting a team that’s basically got no chance of winning anything.

 

The only club left in the middle ground is us.  Starved of the success we once had but we’ve never really gone away.  We can’t compete financially with the 3 mentioned despite how big and passionate the fan base is but for some reason we are where we are.  It’s led to an obsession from both sides of the fence.  Go to any other clubs forum and you will see it.  They both want what we’ve got but on one side you can’t buy it and on the other you can’t build it whilst getting the rug pulled from under you if you come close.  That’s happened to us plenty as well but we’ve proved we can overcome it.

 

It’s turned all these “fans” into banter merchants.  They’ve got nothing else left.  Now it looks like we are going to win it they’re in meltdown because they’ll have nothing left to sing about.

Some fantastic insights there, Dave.

And you're right, the opposition missing "easy" chances isn't just down to luck.

They have been shitting themselves in front of goal, because we frighten the shite out of everyone now.

 

It's a bit like sides not even turning up against City last season, beaten before a ball was kicked - were City lucky that the opposition didn't even bother trying?

Were they fuck - everyone was spunking on about how they were the greatest team ever.

Nice report Dave, but why all the shitting on the Baldies? Did Pepe Reina, Mascherano and Gary McAllister not do enough for us? (sad face)

As would Klopp, if he had not 'done a Rooney'. In fairness to Dave, he's still lashing out after his own flesh and blood compared his barnet to that of Jorge Jesus. Pray for Dave.

This report was excellent and has left me with two things to say:

1) Does Paul have a shiny head?

2) Robertson needs to start absolutely leathering it at the far post. Nine times out of ten the ball will be deflected in or will go directly in. When the defending team have so many people back it's so difficult to pick out a specific player.

Fucking mancs next. Try turning up on time and I might buy you some chips. 

 

Don't believe you. You'll scurry off to have your corporate caviar or whatever shit you eat in there.

I’ve been reading you for about 20 years, Dave. I have agreed on almost every things except  on Zidane’s greatness and bald’s rights, but on this occasion I agree even more. We totally outplayed a disgraceful spurs team which had no right to complain. They were so negative and poor. Fuck Mourinho. 

 

Don't start me on Zidane Arnaud or me and you go are going to go at it again.

I don't know, Dave.

 

I reckon if Robertson makes a balls to the wall tackle like that against Flamengo, or Sunday, or Atletico they send him off. No malice, he went for the ball, but he did leave a lot on the boy, in fairness.

 

You weren't a bit worried?

 

Not worried at all, although I might have been if Atkinson was on VAR rather than on the pitch.

I didn't thing the Robbo incident was even a foul. They both flew in for the ball, Robbo kicked it and then his follow through kicked the defender -all part of the same movement.

If he'd missed the ball then he would have got yellow, maybe red for reckless play. But the defender was just as reckless.  

 

Totally agree.

I mean I did see it in dodgy angles from my mates and, to be honest, Andrew; I'd have your view over any of their slow motion shite.

 

But not my view, it seems.

Is the persistent misspelling of «Solskjaer» as «Solksjaer» another deliberate mistake to see who is paying attention or is it a word play that I have missed? 

 

Mine is the correct spelling. Solksjaer himself spelt it wrong and people went with that.

Masch wasn't bald when he played for us. Besides, it's not about playing ability it's about not letting them talk about the game because they tend to spout complete nonsense. See also Danny Mills.

Saw a problem and addressed it before it was too late.

 

As for Jorge Jesus, he said the other day that Hendo was the best midfielder in the world proving yet again that hair = knowledge.

From what I can tell, Paul does not have a shiny head except in the summer when it's freshly shaved on a hot day.

I agree with every word of that. At the time the game carried on and nothing was said by the commentators, Spurs players obviously complained but that is on instructions from the manager.

 

Then same manager mentions it after the game and obviously the usual shitheads join in.

Just been reading an article in telegraph Sport about the game. It claims mourinho's 'master class nearly worked' and defeated Liverpool. The article goes on about how mourinho set his team up to hit long balls over the top of our back line and have rapid players such as Son chase after the ball turning Liverpool defence in the process.

 

Erm, that's just a 'long ball' tactic isnt it? There's no master class there. If the author wants to claim (as they do) that if Spurs had of scored those missed chances in the last 10 minutes, Spurs would have been the first English team to beat us this season, it ignores the reality?

 

But surely if you are going to hypothesise about Spurs scoring 2 chances they missed, you have to include the 4 chances Liverpool had to score as well?

 

Not surprisingly, the article was written by someone called JJ Bull!

I’m pretty sure that ‘nearly worked’ is another way of saying ‘didn’t work’. That’s the type of bollocks that other fans cling to desperately as the alternative (truth) is too unpalatable.
