Featured: That was the Week that Was (May 22-26 2023)

[tlw content]

 

Monday May 22:

 

Leicester went to Newcastle and parked the bus for 85 minutes in a game they needed to win. They then went balls out to score late on and almost did. I don’t know if that was a great plan or rank stupidity, and I don’t know if this is a good point for them or not. We won’t know until Sunday. The two points we dropped on Saturday are looking worse now though, we’d still have had an outside chance at top four if we’d won that game.

 

So we’ve apparently asked PGMOL for an explanation into what happened on Saturday. I can help with that, as it’s really quite simple. Klopp needlessly yelled in the face of an official a few weeks back, and Howard Webb then gave him the opportunity for payback, which the official gleefully accepted. Whatever guff comes back to the club following their request for information, this is the real truth of it.

 

Klopp is being taught a lesson and I hope it’s one that he actually learns, because you simply can’t win this war. Webb holds all of the cards and he knows it. So do his little legion of busy traffic warden cunts. They’re going to fuck us regardless, but Klopp’s actions will determine how hard they fuck us. The last couple of home games have been horrendous and we can’t have more of that. Imagine that for the entirety of next season. I’d stop going, I couldn’t cope with it. That Villa game almost tipped me over the edge. I’m not sure asking PGMOL to explain themselves is going to help though.

 

Meanwhile, there’s talk that City and United both want Mac Allister now. They can fucking have him, I don’t care. My thoughts on this are well documented. For what it’s worth though I think we’ll sign him. Unless City genuinely do want him, which would make sense as he’s very much Gundogan-esque in style and they’ll need to replace him. They’d take great pleasure in fucking us over too.

 

I don’t think he’d go to United over us though. I like to think most people can see through that anomaly and realise we’re still a much more attractive destination than United are. We might have some problems if we were going head to head with Arsenal for a player though.

Top, top sidekick analysis there, Dave.

 

(Also that should say ‘Newcastle’ on the first line.)

Still, WHEN Everton go down this weekend I can overlook all of that and celebrate all summer. 

 

Me too Dave.

Mason Mount - the Steve Kerr to Jordan & Pippen?

[dave u]

No because I liked Steve Kerr.

 

He's more like Pete Myers.

He'll turn up in one of those Legends games in a couple of years.
