Featured: That was the Week that Was (Jan 22-27 2024)

The kids beat Arsenal 7-1 in the youth cup at the weekend. I love the youth cup, always have, going right back to my playing days when I scored against United in this competition. The kids will be buzzing about this, especially as last season there was that well publicised u16 game when they conceded double figures against Arsenal in a game when we didn’t have a goalkeeper. Some of these lads will have played in that game and I reckon that will have been a motivating factor in giving them a spanking.

 

In other news, Forest have written to PGMOL again. They’re unhappy because… *checks notes* Ivan Toney moved the ball eight inches to the right before he scored from a free-kick. Hmmm. Couple of things here, and far be it for me to be defending refs and VAR, but this is ridiculous. Number one, the ref doesn’t have eyes in the back of his head. He doesn’t know what Toney did as he didn’t see it. Number two, VAR is actually not allowed to get involved in this. The rules prevent it. So if Forest have a problem, write to FIFA.

 

But this isn’t the first time. Last season they told the press that they had put together a dossier of decisions that had gone against them, but when PGMOL asked to see it, it contained clips of only two incidents, which were both from the same game. Fucking babies. You know what, dock them 10 more points just for this cryarse behaviour. They’re undermining the clubs who have genuine cause for complaint. These cunts will be writing letters about not getting a throw in soon, it’s genuinely pathetic.

My thoughts on Jurgen going chime with this. I take his words and I believe him, and he leaves with only good wishes.

 

Something in my eye.....

Comedy gold Dave.

They just keep giving.

The clip on here of the crowd shouting fuck off to the players sums their miserable existence up.

There's so many of those clips it's hard to know anymore if they're from the most recent game or not!

I would have thought it's in every game, they hate everything.

We had a truly charismatic manager who dragged us out of mediocrity to build a team bond with the fans like no other. Made the fans feel their team was invincible with them behind those men in red, never won the amount of titles Liverpool deserved, saw his team on the wain So started another a young dynamic team with a couple of experienced heads. Called it a day (regretted it later) handed over to a quieter more thoughtful manager who was not as charismatic as Shanks but knew football. We all know how that turned out. Fast forward 50 years...

We as fans want Utopia we want Klopp with 4 trophies under his arm getting the send off Shanks never got  and I want to see Alonso taking us onto even more glory. Klopp is not a "lucky manager " he has never fluked any title in his life, those of you who know how he lost out On Mainz promotion two years running one by a point one on goal difference only to go on a third time and get over the line. Sounds familiar, he has never had a warchest of cash he is a maker of stars he gets the job done by sheer graft, desire, passion and football nous. We only Have to look at how we feel now and look at how Mainz and Dortmund fans felt when he left. There is not a man out there in football who can match that impact on fans and people. He is Shanks 2.0 and to younger ones Klopp 1.0. He has done what Shanks did all those years ago and more, he built a winning machine and has left Xabi (?) a legacy team that screams "off you go".
We have 30 odd games of him left let's send our love desire passion to him and the boys in red and roar them home. Get the sculpting quotes in whilst your at it.
