  1. Lots to get through with it being a double round of fixtures, so I'll get straight down to it. “Useless” got the old heave ho at last as Southampton finally saw sense and sent his fraudulent arse down the road. The final straw was failing to beat Manchester United. Fair enough I'd say. They went 2-0 up but then blew it. Armstrong fired in the opener and Cedric’s superb free-kick doubled their lead, but they got nervous and let United get back on level terms before the break. Now usually you’d expect United to go on and win the game, but this is Mourinho’s United and…well… they’re fucking shit aren't they? It ended 2-2 and the Saints board had clearly seen enough. “We can accept you losing to Fulham, but drawing with this United team is humiliating. We’re gonna have to let you go”. As for Mourinho, I can’t even keep up with his antics now. I know he’s now dropped Lukaku and Pogba for being shit, and I know he’s been ripping into his players all week. What I don’t know is what he actually needs to do before they sack him. Hopefully we’ll never find out, because this is great and long may it continue. I heard this week that Pogba has given the ball away more than any other player in the Premier League this season. Not surprising, the Southampton game alone would probably have him in the top ten. One of the worst performances you’ll ever see from a so called top player. Fucking fraud him. Mourinho didn’t specifically call him out by name, but he said “we need to lose less ball in midfield” and then dropped Pogba for the Arsenal game in midweek, so that tells its own story. There were also reports that he called Pogba a "virus" in front of the rest of the team afterwards. Mourinho is right of course, but then Pogba could hit back with "takes one to know one". It's all gone a bit playgroundish at United this season, and it's great. Moving on, and Newcastle have been doing better of late but I’m not buying what they’re selling at all. They’re shite, and proved it again by getting spanked at home by West Ham. Hernandez got the opener after 11 minutes when he converted a wonderful cross from Snodgrass. He wasted two more great chances before eventually grabbing his second. The lively Anderson wrapped it up in stoppage time with his fourth goal in as many games. Good player him, but then for £40m he should be. Looking at the teams at the bottom, most of them have something going for them. Huddersfield and Cardiff have great desire and battling qualities. Fulham and Southampton have good forward players. Palace have Zaha. Newcastle? They have Rafa, and that's it. He's their only shot. Still, it's more than Burnley have. They're fucking hopeless. They went down with barely a whimper at Wilfried Palace. The deadlock was broken when McAthur’s cross deceived everyone and sneaked into the far corner. Zaha almost made it 2-0 with a spectacular solo effort but he was denied by a fantastic save by the rejuvenated Hart. Zaha was also denied by the bar after another superb effort. It was getting a little bit tetchy for Palace who had seen chance after chance go begging, but fortunately for them Andros Townsend chose this day for one of his three stunning goals a season. Such a weird player him. He does things that take your breath away every now and again, but it’s just too few and far between, which is why he’s at Palace I suppose. Tell you what, Hart has been the best English keeper by a mile so far this season. The press all love that angry little pottymouth gobshite at Everton, but Hart has been miles better. Jordan Pickford? More like Jordan Prickford, eh lads? Amirite? Moving on, and Bruno’s howler allowed Jorgensen to head Huddersfield into the lead at Brighton, but their joy was short lived when Mounie was then sent off for a nothing challenge. His foot was up but there was no intent and absolute zero force behind it. Some of the things you see go unpunished and then you see this punished with a red card? Fucking terrible. It proved costly too as they were pegged back in the second half when Duffy powered in a header to equalise, and then Andone glanced in the winner. Harsh on Huddersfield, but that's a recurring theme. They keep losing games even though they usually give a good account of themselves. If you can't score though it's always going to be a grind. Leicester are a weird team. They should be better they are I think, but they seem to follow up every good result with a poor one. They've had a decent week though, picking up four points. Vardy won and converted a pen to put them up against Watford on Saturday, and James Maddison quickly made it 2-0 with a brilliant individual goal. Capoue was sent off for a "two footed challenge" that was actually only a one footed challenge on the ball that didn’t touch the man. These refs are shite, but their job is made so difficult by all these cheating cunt players. Capoue was lying on the floor holding his head, while Iheanacho was also rolling around as though he was in agony. You watch the replay and neither made any contact with the other. Iheanacho even said afterwards there was no contact and that helped to get the red card rescinded. He was praised for his honesty. Hold on, if he hadn't feigned injury to begin with maybe Capoue wouldn't have been sent off? Personally I’d ban them both for playacting. Cardiff beat Wolves on Friday night, but Wolves followed it up by beating Chelsea in midweek. Funny old game, Saint. I'll get to the Chelsea game in a bit though. Doherty had given Wolves the lead but Cardiff came roaring back with goals from Gunnarsson and a goal of the month certainty from my boy Junior Hoilett. I say ‘my boy’ because that goes back to his Blackburn days. No idea where he’s been the last few years, but he’s back now baby. I’ve been telling you for a while how ace Neil Warnock is. A lot of you are probably still not convinced, as he’s not exactly Mr Popular with Liverpool fans, mainly due to his run ins with Rafa back in the day. He loves Klopp though, and the feeling seemed mutual as Klopp was buzzing about finally getting the chance to meet him the other week. Warnock was asked on the radio on Monday about Klopp's pitch invasion. His reply? “I thought it were lovely”. Hahahaha what a guy. He then went on to say that he expects he’ll get punished because you’re not allowed to celebrate goals and that the people who make the rules have no idea about the emotion of scoring a 96th minute winner. If I could spend half an hour in the company of any Premier League manager, Warnock would be top three I reckon. He’d probably be second behind Klopp, but it’s a toss up between him and Mourinho as the idea of winding Jose up for half an hour by pretending to be Pogba's number one fan is quite appealing. City won again. Bournemouth put up more of a fight against them than most, but it ended in predictable circumstances. Still, at least they made City do something different to beat them and didn’t give up those ‘gimme’ type goals everyone else does where they let them get in down the sides and cross in for tap ins. Bernardo Silva broke the deadlock after Sane’s pace saw him burst through the middle. Begovic made a good block but Silva lashed in the rebound. Bournemouth didn’t roll over and die like most City opponents though and Callum Wilson’s brilliant header drew them level just before half time. Sterling tapped in a rebound after Begovic had made another save, but the third goal was typical City. Sane in behind. Low cross. Gundogan tap in. Fucks sake. Onto Sunday, and Chelsea took care of business in the West London derby against Fulham. Pedro scored four minutes in after Seri was caught dawdling on the ball by Kante. How stupid do you have to be to be arsing around in midfield when Kante is around? How do you not know what’s going to happen? Do these fuckers not watch any other football? Fulham stayed in the game and were pushing hard for an equaliser. The Chelsea keeper (who’s name I’m not even going to attempt to spell) made a couple of good saves but Chelsea had their chances too. Morata put one into orbit from four yards and it was getting a little tense for the home side until Loftus-Cheek came off the bench to wrap things up late on. The North London derby was a cracker, as Arsenal showed real character and resilience to come from behind and spank Tottenham. Not sure anyone saw that coming, but this is a different Arsenal team this year. Ozil missed the game with a ‘sore back’. Emery has seen right through this fucking waster, and that’s why Arsenal aren’t the soft touch they’ve been for years. No room for any wasters anymore. Bye bye Mesut, I'm sure you'll be happy playing in MLS next year. Arsenal got off to the perfect start when Vertonghen handled in the box just a few minutes in, allowing Aubameyeng to score from the spot. The Gunners were all over them early on but the second goal didn't come and then they conceded against the run of play when Dier glanced in a header from an Eriksen free-kick. Keeper should have done better though. All hell then broke loose after Dier celebrated in front of the Arsenal fans and some of the Arsenal subs took exception to it. No problem with any of that for me. No issue with Dier goading the home fans (it’s a local derby, more of this type of thing I say) and good on the Arsenal subs for not just standing there and allowing it. Tempers were getting frayed though and it all went off again when Son dived to win a pen. Both left backs looked like they were going to come to blows with each other and Sissoko was pushing his luck too. Again though, it’s a derby game so it’s to be expected. Can't beat a bit of derby game aggro. As long as it's on the field of course. We don't want to see that shit that went down in the UKIP Derby between Stoke and Port Vale this week, but a bit of handbags from players is always entertaining. Tell you what though, Son’s dive was a 9.9. Can’t blame the ref for being conned, as even after numerous replays it’s still impossible to know for sure if there was contact. If there was, there’s no way it was enough to put him down, but that’s some next level diving ability from Son. Fair play. Well no, it’s the opposite of fair play, but you know what I mean. Normally a setback like that would finish off Arsenal. From a goal ahead to a goal behind in the blink of an eye, they would usually just collapse like a house of cards, but they were brilliant in the second half. Aubamayeng produced a stunning equaliser and Lacazette gave Arsenal the lead when that Foyth loser got caught in possession. He’s shite him. Pochettino picked him ahead of Alderweireld, who was left on the bench. Out thought himself there I think, and the Spurs fans weren’t happy about it Torrera (I like him) surged through and blasted in number four soon after and Vertonghen was then sent off for a second yellow when he won the ball but caught Lacazette with his follow through. I have no real opinion on this. Dean was entitled to give a yellow but whether he should or not I’m not sure. Much of the talk afterwards was about how some cunt threw a banana at Lacazette. Cue loads of moral indignation about Spurs fans and how football still has a problem with racism. Get the fuck outta here. Football has far less problems with racism than society does, and one fucking scumbag doesn’t represent Spurs fans either. This country is fucked. The world is fucked. Racists are completely comfortable being out in the open spouting their racist views now, yet it’s football that has the problem because one cunt in a crowd of 60 odd thousand threw a banana? Fuck off. Society has a problem with racism, that’s what everyone should be talking about instead of taking shots at Spurs and tarring them over the deplorable actions of one lowlife. The midweek games went pretty well from our perspective. Aside from City winning of course. Watford didn’t let them have it all their own way but their comeback was too little too late and it finished 2-1. In fairness, Ben Foster was the only reason it wasn’t 6-0 at half time, so it’s not as though City were lucky. Results like this are good though because at least it shows the rest of the league that you can be competitive if you have a go. Sane scored City’s first when he arrived at the back post to chest in a cross by Mahrez. Not quite the stereotypical City goal as the cross came from deep, but their second had a more than familiar look to it. Sane in behind, to the byline, pull back, Mahrez close range finish. *sigh* Come on coaches, watch the fucking videos. Doucoure pulled one back with five minutes left but City held on. It’s difficult to see where they are going to drop points, but they go to Stamford Bridge this weekend and if they win there then that’s going to be seriously fucking demoralising. All we can do is keep winning and hope for the best. I’m not comfortable relying on Chelsea to do us a favour, especially as they can’t even help themselves lately, having lost two of their last three. They were beaten at Wolves despite going ahead. Loftus-Cheek’s shot was headed into his own net by Coady and Chelsea had this game well in hand. They had enough chances to have it wrapped it before Wolves even had a sniff of a comeback. The second goal didn’t come though and Wolves grew in confidence. Jimenez equalised with a shot that went straight through the world’s most expensive keeper. I say it all the time, but why do some keepers feel like they have to use their hands to save everything? This was straight at his feet, but instead of booting it away he tried to get down low and save with his hands. He’s a bit average isn’t he? (really hope I've set that up perfectly for him to have a stormer against City) Four minutes later Jota hit the winner. There was a suspicion of a foul in the build up, and Chelsea had good cause to be unhappy with the officiating all night, as Morata was denied a stonewall pen when he was taken out on the goal-line. It would have been a straight red as well as a pen, as even though it was Morata you’d still have to say it was a clear goalscoring opportunity. Such a blatant penalty that, but Fat Jon Moss was probably blowing for tugs on the halfway line. That kid Gibbs-White I mentioned the other week got his first start for Wolves (in place of the suspended Neves) and he was quality. He’s got a chance to be some player him. Hopefully Michael Edwards has his page bookmarked on his spreadsheet. Cardiff wasted a great chance to go ahead at West Ham when Ralls had a pen saved by Fabianski after my boy Hoilett had been fouled. Arnautovic was forced off with a hamstring injury but his replacement Lucas Perez bagged a couple of goals and Antonio headed in his first of the season to give the Hammers a commanding lead. Cardiff managed a late consolation when Murphy bundled the ball in from virtually on the line, but that’s two wins on the bounce for West Ham who now sit 13th and nine points ahead of the relegation spots. Everyone below them is in a fight to stay up but West Ham are part of that mini group in the middle trying to finish 7th. Brighton are in there too. They took on Palace on Wednesday night in a game that means everything to both of those sets of fans and very little to anybody else. Not sure why they hate each other, but they do, it’s a real grudge match. Brighton went ahead with a Murray penalty that was awarded when McArthur won the ball cleanly. Awful decision by Kevin fucking Friend. He then waved away another penalty appeal and awarded a corner, even though the ball was clearly played by Murray. A bit of handbags broke out between Duffy and a Brighton player and Duffy stupidly stuck his head in the lad's face and shoved it forward with force. Friend was stood next to him when he did it as well, the fucking knobhead. Initially it looked like Friend was walking away and doing nothing, but then he correctly pulled out the red card. What followed next was one of the reasons we all love footy though. Brighton were in disarray and had to take off one of their best attacking players to get another defender on. The lad comes on, goes into the box and then the corner makes its way to him and he lashes it in with his first touch to make it 2-0. Amazing scenes. Palace then gave up a third goal before half time when Andone collected a long hoofed clearance, ran clear, skinned Tomkins and smashed it in. Zaha won a penalty that Milovojevic converted to give Palace hope with ten minutes left, but that’s how it finished. Brighton are good at home and are currently 10th. Impressive that. Bournemouth have had a tough run of late and had lost the previous four, but a home game against Huddersfield was the perfect chance to get back to winning ways. They did, but only just and it wasn’t pretty. Wilson opened the scoring and then created the second for my boy Ryan Fraser. Huddersfield didn’t lie down though and dominated the rest of the game. They pulled one back through Jorgensen and had chances to equalise but just couldn’t finish them. That’s why they’ll probably go down. In stark contrast to Huddersfield you have Southampton, who have three good strikers and shouldn’t have any problems scoring goals. They also have a new manager who few people have even heard of, but even so I’m willing to bet good money he can’t possibly be any worse than the last two managers they’ve had. The new boss watched from the stands as they lost to Spurs at a two thirds empty Wembley. There was a lot of discussion about why the attendance was so low, but it’s fairly obvious isn’t it? Football is fucking expensive, especially in London. Spurs have a had a lot of games recently and Southampton are shite. It’s midweek, Wembley is a bastard to get to and clearly loads of fans just decided to swerve it, which is fair enough I’d say. Mocking other fans for not filling their ground in the build up to Christmas is all a bit “feed the scousers” really. In other words, a bit Tory. Football clubs are owned by greedy rich cunts who are squeezing every last penny out of us for the ‘privilege’ of watching teams that we’ve loved our whole lives and who they’ve bought solely to line their own pockets. So if thousands of Spurs fans swerved paying 50 quid to watch their team play Southampton in a stadium that’s not even theirs on a shitty, rainy, cold, Wednesday night… *shrugs* Spurs won it easily enough. Kane, Moura and Son gave them a 3-0 lead before Southampton rallied and laid siege to their goal in the last 20 minutes. They hit the woodwork three times, had shitloads of chances but had to wait until stoppage time to take one, when my boy Charlie Austin ran clear and hammered it past Lloris. They’ll be alright I reckon now that they’ve rid themselves of the ball and chain that was holding them back. Hopefully we never have to see Hughes' miserable fucking grid on MOTD complaining about referees ever again, although that shit manager merry go round is still in full flow so no doubt he’ll resurface somewhere else for one final payday. The Ranieri Derby ended honours even at Craven Cottage. Some lad called Kamara put Fulham in front. There’s far too many Kamara's to keep track of which one is which, but this fella is a handful if you catch him on a good day. He terrorised Alonso at the weekend and he took this goal really well in this one. Maddison equalised with a calm finish after good work by Japanese Dirk on the right had set him up. How long before Maddison is a Liverpool player? It could be this summer (replacement for Lallana) but I’ll guess it will be the year after. It’ll happen eventually though. Fulham have got far too much up front to stay where they are. I know they’re shite at the back but a lot of that was down to injuries and having to play some absolute bums back there. They’ll be ok now I reckon. There was so much shite written about Everton after their derby performance. Talk about over-stating things. They were alright, they had a go for once, but all perspective seemed to go out of the window. I heard one commentator refer to their "great" display at Anfield. Kinell. Apparently they’re boss now and are going to be a real force. Yeah, well this ‘emerging force’ couldn’t even beat fucking Newcastle at home. They’re still Everton. Don’t ever forget that. Rondon lashed in the opening goal at the back post after a good run and cross by Murphy, but Richarlison’s scruffy equaliser got the Blues a point. Good result for Everton considering they’d lost a cup final in the most heartbreaking way possible three days earlier. Newcastle fans were all over social media patting themselves on the back for their funny new chant about Pickford. The same chant that had been posted on social media by Liverpool fans within a few hours of the derby. Cheeky thieving pricks. No wonder they’re known as the Magpies. It was a momentous occasion for Joselu though, as the introduction of Calvert-Lewin as a second half sub meant that for the first time in his career the Newcastle frontman was able to say that he wasn’t the least capable footballer on the pitch. I'm serious. That diving blueshite twat is stealing a living. Literally the only thing he is capable of doing is conning referees. Finally, Arsenal went to Old Trafford on a 19 game unbeaten run and on a real high after their win over Spurs. They’ve obviously come a long way under Emery but they’re still massive flaky bastards. Twice they were handed the lead at Old Trafford (howlers from De Gea and Rojo), and twice they surrendered it almost immediately. The first was offside in fairness, but the second goal they gave up straight from the kick off was pitiful. Arsenal have a jelly centre. Not as soft as it was, it’s more like a fruit pastille than a wobbly jelly these days, but the fact is you can’t turn jelly into steel. Not without Virgil Van Dijk.

  2. Saturday Nov 24: Watford 0 L 3 Good three points that. Not entirely convincing but results are everything at the moment seeing as how no-one is even making any kind of pretence about giving City a game. They’re battering everyone so we have to just win and so far we’ve been finding a way to do it. There’s a lot to like about what we did here, not least because Klopp only had one training session with his players. These are the kind of games we’ve fucked up so often in the past, but we’re taking care of business. It wasn’t fluent but we barely gave Watford any chances at all. We’re hard to play against and that’s half the battle. What’s the deal with Mo’s celebration though? It was defo a dig at Ramos, but what was the intent behind it? Bet we never get an explanation. He should just say “it’s my celebration now” and do it all the time. He scores so many goals it will quickly become synonymous with him and when Ramos does it it will look like he’s copying Mo. This has Lovren’s finger prints all over it. In other news today, the Copa Libertadores game between Boca and River Plate was called off after River fans smashed up Boca’s bus. One player had to have glass removed from his eye and the Boca team were pretty shaken up about the whole thing. Apparently Carlos Tevez was the worst affected, which will surprise nobody. You can take the player out of Man City but you can’t take Man City out of the player. Still, it could have been worse. Someone could have lashed a can of Kopparberg. That would have been terrible. Sunday Nov 25: Ben Woodburn is back playing for the u23s. His loan hasn’t been cut short yet but it’s trending in that direction and could happen any day now apparently. The last couple of years of his career haven’t been great. He barely featured for us last year and a loan move made sense, but not being able to get in Sheffield United’s team doesn’t bode well. Thing is, he’s still really young. To put it in perspective, loads of us are really excited about Harry Wilson (who scored again by the way) and how maybe he can come back next season and contribute here. Worth remembering then that when Wilson was Woodburn’s age he couldn’t get a game at Crewe. He’s three years older than Ben, so that shows just how much time Woodburn still has to develop. So hopefully he doesn’t get too disheartened by this loan move as ultimately it means nothing in the grand scheme of things. Come back here, play some games in the u23s and find a new loan move in January. In hindsight, Rangers might have been good for him as Ejaria and Kent seem to be enjoying themselves up there. Charlie Adam is talking about Shaq again, but this time he’s far more complimentary. “I don’t think he was (suited to a relegation battle), but listen, he’s got a wonderful talent and his game probably suits playing for a bigger club with better players. His awareness to pick a pass and see things that other players don’t – and we probably didn’t have enough players at his level. “I criticised him because I felt when we were in a dogfight, we probably needed different types of characters – a Jon Walters, a Glen Whelan – they were the types of characters we needed. “The little man can score goals out of nothing but we were low on confidence and couldn’t carry anybody of that ability without the other side of the game.” Maybe if he’d said that in the first place he wouldn’t have pissed off Stoke and Liverpool fans as much as he did. Still, I’m not entirely happy with his explanation anyway. I mean, you can’t have a team of Jon Walters and Glenn Murrays, you need someone with a bit of guile too, otherwise you’re Burnley. Monday Nov 26: “I don’t compare seasons, to be honest, but I’ve known Robbo now for one-and-a-half years and I feel that he’s at 75 per cent – maybe less – of what he can do. There’s a lot of potential still. But it’s all good. He improved a lot but there is still a lot to come, he is still a young fella. There’s enough time for that.” Kinell, imagine Robbo 25% better than he is now. The benchmark for left backs has always been Maldini. By that I mean he’s the one you’d reference if you were saying “he’s the new Maldini” or “who does he think he is, Maldini?”. If Robbo improves by 25% then he’ll be the first name anyone thinks of in that situation. Tuesday Nov 27: If I was King of the World, my first decree would be to round up all those ‘big game hunters’ who like to shoot defenceless animals and drop them in the middle of the jungle without their guns. My second would be would be to drop Trump, Farage, Robinson, Boris Johnson and their minions in there as well. My third would be that the next person to write a story about Fabinho leaving in January has to do a six month stretch in Alcatraz. Seriously, just fucking stop it, it’s ridiculous. Get your precious clicks by making something up that at least has a tiny percentage chance of coming true. Meanwhile, Jurgen’s a fucking case isn’t he? In his press conference ahead of the PSG game he was buzzing off the French interpreter and his sexy voice. Crazy bastard. Camacho is in the squad for tomorrow night but Origi and Solanke aren’t. What’s going on there then? Solanke was tearing it up for England u21s but he can’t even make the plane when we’re taking 21 players?? Doesn’t bode well. Lallana isn’t there either as he’s injured. Again. Seriously, enough is enough. He’s worse than Sturridge. That’s not just a throwaway line, it’s a fact. He’s missed more games in the last two years than Sturridge has. He’s finished at this level now and I hate saying that as I’m one of his biggest fans. Wednesday Nov 28: PSG 2 L 1 Well that was shit. I know that there’s no shame in losing away in Paris, and it’s not the result that I’m upset about. It’s the eye test. So many times this season I just haven’t liked how we’ve looked, irrespective of the scoreline. The results have generally been fine but there’s just something troubling about watching us. It’s hard to explain, but it just isn’t right, is it? We’ve gotten away with some below par performances domestically, but in Europe we’re being punished. We’ve been SHITE on our travels. Proper shite. It’s the polar opposite to last season. The thing is, it’s not the idea of going out in the group stages that bothers me, it’s having to go into the Danny Welbeck Cup. Fuck that noise. Thursday Nov 29: That picture of the asylum seekers and the coach load of Reds has made my day. It’s just so heartwarming, and funny too. Had those two lads stowed away on the coach of another group of fans (Chelsea, Burnley or Stoke for example) it could have trouble, but they touched lucky with a load of young scouse lads, who looked like they were absolutely buzzing off the whole thing and made a real fuss of them. Love it. Also today, Carra says he spoke to Shaqiri after the game last night and told him how important it was to win the derby. No-one loves a derby more than Carra, he’s probably the only Red I know who’s as obsessed with this game as the Blues are. It’s hilarious that he’s pulling players over and telling them they “have to beat Everton”. Saw this on newsnow. “James Milner is not a central midfielder” blasts Dean Saunders. *sigh* “Dean Saunders is not a credible pundit” blasts Dave Usher. I liked him as a player but as a pundit he’s king of the hot take. It’s a scary thought that someone actually interviewed him and then gave him a job as a manager. You only need to listen to him for two minutes to know he’s got some seriously fucking weird views on footy. Meanwhile, Robbie Keane is retiring from football. Dream move for him, he was a big fan of retirement as a kid apparently. Friday Nov 30: LFC Twitter is in meltdown because Klopp said he doesn’t see anything wrong with our midfield. Couple of things here. Firstly, even if he did think the midfield was a problem, he’s hardly going to say it and undermine his players in a room full of journalists. He’s not Mourinho. Secondly, the question apparently referenced teams running through our midfield, so he rightly pointed out that we’ve only conceded 5 goals in 13 league games so that’s bollocks. The midfield has been shite in Europe though, as have the forwards. And the defence hasn’t been great either come to think of it. Andy Robbo was helping out at a local food bank again. He’s done this before but it was more low key than this, as the club decided to send cameras and made a big thing of this one, while appealing to fans to contribute to the food banks at Anfield for this Sunday. Something about this really doesn’t sit right with me. On the surface, it looks good. The club giving exposure to a worthy cause and that. Yet they are handing over 250k to a millionaire Premier League exec while urging us to help stock the food banks. This is a multi million pound company who pays its manager £6m a year and most of the players similar. Yet they wouldn’t pay the living wage to some of their employees. Fans who are being ripped off on ticket prices to fund all of that are now being asked to dig a little deeper to help those less fortunate. How about you hand over that 250k to the food banks instead of Scudamore, and then you can appeal to our good nature. I dunno, I’m probably not expressing myself well here, but I just feel like they’ve got a fucking cheek. Maybe it’s just me. That was the week that was….
