So this conspiracy that whether by VAR, PEDs, referees or other teams.... it's all just come together this season? A cast of thousands including many of them that hate us have come together to ensure we win it? Sounds legit. If only they had put their heads together to sort Brexit, global warming or global peace instead. What we are seeing here is a coping strategy. Rather than deal with the truth of a situation it's far easier for some to invent a strategy where there's a seemingly logical explanation to explain it away. So Liverpool aren't brilliant, it's that everyone else is shit, or refs want us to win, or VAR is somehow gifting us something. Coping strategies are normally a good thing but when the person using them is blocking reality then that is where the trouble begins. I put some of it down to participation trophies, you're teaching kids that nobody loses. When these weaklings come across a situation (i.e. real life) in which they're not suddenly winning when losing then they lose their heads. I understand city being angry, deluded, bitter etc. Imagine if you will that you play monopoly professionally and that it is televised. Now you've been on Ebay and you've bought a shit load of monopoly money and stuffed your pockets so much with it that you can hardly walk. Now each time you play you simply blow everyone else away and everyone congratulates you on how well you played. Now imagine if suddenly a player that simply was skilful starts winning instead, you'd be incensed, how the hell are they winning? They must also be cheating. I've actually read city fans crying about us cheating and of course they totally miss the whole point that they have been financially doped and if they hadn't been they'd be currently playing in the Sherpa Van trophy in the championship. They literally bought a seat at the top table and of course Sky love them. Yes coping strategies come in all shapes and sizes and the more extreme the strategies the more that person must be hurting. It genuinely makes me warm inside that rival fans (and bitters) are hurting so much, believe me you retarded fucks, IF we pull this off we are going to make your lives as unbearable as fuck. We put our kids out in a competition we didn't want to win and we outplayed your first team with your European cup winning manager. What a total disgrace of a club they are and the joke of the city.

Finally managed to pay my subs last week so I can read these and I get greeted with bald-phobic hate speech. i don’t come on her to be fucked at.

England are shit. I'd rather Henderson have the Euro's off.

What the absolute twats that support Man City dont understand is that Klopp has virtually had to generate his own money to compete with them. If Klopp hadn't have got us in the Champions league the rebuild would have either taken longer or not happened at all. Just say a manager had took over Man City with the same squad that Brendan Rodgers left most of them would have just been sold for fuck all, gone out on loan with City paying their 200k a week wages or just been allowed to sit out the rest of their contract. Then city would have just gone out and replaced them all in 2 transfer windows. Klopp had to build the team slowly and our owners only sanctioned signings when we had CL footy or sold our most valuable player. The moaning twats can fuck off. They are just annoyed at being shown up and are looking for excuses.

Negged. Lately, I keep seeing and hearing people use the world “salty” to mean angry or bitter. It sounds fucking shit! Is it another Americanism popularised by television and the internet?

Volume difference between talking and sound effects on TV. I can't hear what they're saying so I turn it right up and then there's an explosion and I have a heart attack. I've forever got the remote in my hand adjusting the volume level. I'm sure I've brought this one up before but it's a major first world problem.

We've built this side and improved year on year, building up toward this success for 4 years now. This isn't some fluke, out of nowhere victory with 83 points, this is shaping up to be one of the most dominant title wins in history. VAR or no VAR, luck or no luck, the reaction to our success is pure sour grapes. And City fans have a lot of balls calling us lucky. They'd be nowhere near and mired in mediocrity if some dipshit from the Abu Dhabi royal family hadn't seemingly picked their name out of a hat to shape into the next football super power. If that isn't luck, I don't know what is.

The sketch Ronnie Barker was too polite to write.

Jess Phillips is a massive cunt.

But would you have fucked her if she let you hold a gun to her head?

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.

If we win the title I was just going to celebrate and enjoy it but after all this bitter shit I'm going balls deep in unbearable mode. I'm even going to do the Everton stadium tour with an LFC top on with Champions 20 on the back.

Apparently against Sheffield Utd it was windy but the corner flags weren’t blowing in this wind? Also, despite it being very wet in some games we leave no footprints? Explain that!

"Tea slags you would bum" thread incoming, on the GF, started by Mendoza.

The 23s host Southampton at the Academy this evening. Kick off at 19:00, with live coverage on the offal from 18:30. Alles ist gut will post the team news once he sees it, and I'll likely duplicate his post a brief moment later...

The house of delusions is cheap to build, but drafty to live in.

Worse than on here ? Fuck me I'd pay to see that

Report by Dave Usher Theres been a lot of bollocks spouted in the aftermath of this game so let me cut through all that before going any further: The truth is that Spurs were shite and deserved nothing. Anyone suggesting otherwise is talking a steaming pile of pure Zlatan. I know they missed chances and some of them are kidding themselves into thinking they were ’unlucky’ (if they want to completely overlook the chances we missed at the other end). That’s the predictable narrative spun by Mourinho, but it’s fucking nonsense. It’s all about trying to justify his cowardly approach to a crowd who have always been staunchly against that type of ‘football’. Maybe some Spurs fans will swallow it, but that doesn’t make it true. Here’s what happened. Tottenham tried to Mourinho the shit out of the game and to some degree it worked, but they lost. Tough shit. If you play with that kind of cowardice you don’t get to cry about what you ‘deserve’, especially when you ‘deserve’ nothing. Maybe if you’d shown even the tiniest bit of ambition you might have gotten something, but you didn’t, and you didn’t. So fuck off. The only time Spurs looked dangerous was when we gave them the ball through our own complacency. Why were we so complacent? Because they were fucking shite and it was too easy for us. They played like a plucky underdog in a cup match. Or to put it another way, they played like a Mourinho team. He did this with Chelsea and Man United and he did it against far less accomplished Liverpool sides than this one. So Jurgen will have known exactly what to expect. This is who he is. It’s what he does. He was probably made up that Kane was injured as it gave him the excuse he needed to park the bus. “Look at us with all of our injuries, trying to take on the best team in Europe so short handed. We had to play like that, aren’t my lads brave”. His brand of football is ten years past it’s sell by date. Enjoy, Spurs fans. This is your new reality. It’s incredible how far we’ve pulled away from Spurs in the last 12 months and with him in charge that’s not going to change any time soon. From the first few minutes of the game I thought it was glaringly obvious just how big the gulf was between the sides. They looked terrified of us. It shouldn’t have been like that because Spurs have got loads of good players and have shown plenty of times they can win without Kane. In fact, Son and Lucas Moura worry me far more than Kane does. We’ve generally edged the meetings we’ve had in recent seasons but they’ve always gone toe to toe with us and given us some of the most difficult games we’ve had. They could have tried to go toe to toe with us again because they know they can do it and besides, what did they have to lose really? The league table shows how much better than them we are but in head to head games it’s always been difficult for us. It’s not as though the result was going to be season defining for them, so they could have given it a go. It says everything about Mourinho though that nobody ever thought for a second they would. This game was too easy for us and that was the thing that caused us a problem. It really shouldn’t have been as close as it was because Spurs played with a massive inferiority complex and we should have buried them by half time.

Yes, mate. It’s one of my all-time favourites. I watch it every other Christmas. In fact, I bought a new copy on DVD last month from Amazon. £3.99, it was. Bargain! Fun fact, Nick Berry, of Eastenders and Heartbeat fame, plays a rat in it.

And now we come to item 1 on tonight’s agenda The Redshite

I was wondering what happened to Clyne.

"Butt plugs" "13 amp?"

When did this happen?

Amsterdams are meant to be Jan 25th. I suspect the Rotterdams will be later but will keep an eye out. Amsterdams are a general release btw.

Since 1990 we have won 10 major trophies. City have also won 10. Arsenal 14 (8 FA cups). Chelsea 20 (4 before 1990). Mancs 27. Spurs 3. Leicester 3. Blackburn 2. Villa 2. 1 other league winners (Leeds) 3 other FA Cup winners (the Ev, Portsmouth and Wigan). 4 other league cup winners (Sheff Wed, Boro, Birmingham and Swansea). 17 trophy winners (lower division and play-off titles excepted) in 29 years shows how difficult it for smaller clubs to break in. All but 18 trophies from 87 english titles were won by the "big 5" and 8 of those were in the 90s so only 10 from the last 57. I would have thought that English teams had been more dominant in Europe during this time. 12 European titles in 29 years is fairly poor considering. Anyway that's 20 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Think there is a lesson for the future here something we shouldn't have lost. Get the best goalkeeper available not good youngsters not potential not over the hill veterans the best out there . They are vital on terms of gaining points and instilling confidence. Kirkland , James, karius, westerveld, Brad Jones, Carson , itandje I could go on. The reason it is infuriating is that we know what a top international keeper can bring just feel until we plumped for Alisson we had been skimping on the position post Pepe. All the rival supporters banging on about how everyone else's strikers missing sitters well there is a reason the last thing a world class keeper brings which is messing with their head. Hate to say it but Smichell (spelling) was the same .

That's not a very principled stance, is it. I would hope people support fair votes regardless of whether or not it is personally beneficial for them.

Jonathan Liew in the Graun summed Shitcoat up perfectly - the article is strewn with nuggets of gold, such as "Mourinho has had some past success in nullifying the threat of Salah. Alas, leaving him on the bench at Stamford Bridge for a year and then sending him on loan to Fiorentina is no longer a viable option" but as mission statements go this takes some beating:

We’re getting her Thursday afternoon...

Southall is probably my favourite, followed by Reid. Trevor Steven and Arteta get honourable mentions. Oh and that little ginger git who scored in the 89 final - inconsistent but could turn it on every five games Finally a nod to Derek Mountfield who had a quite magnificent tache

Scrapper Blackwell - Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out

Bollocks to losing seats for a screen..... you want to watch a screen watch it at home.

It's your finger we're worried about.

Would.

Somebody clearly didn't have the makings of a varsity athlete.

Really want us to bum these dead hard. Never ever forget what these horrible bastards have been like for about 20 years of winning everything....time to rub their fucking noses in it good and proper. 20 fucking years of those horrible manc bastards lording it over everybody... Mocking us, rubbing our noses in it. All the media kissing their arses. Referees favouring them. All the last minute winners they got. Trophy after trophy after trophy. The smug horrible bastards winning everything. Now they are literally shite, their dynasty over and a club in dire straits....and it is time for us to kick them and kick them hard whilst they are down. Have no sympathy for them, don't even look at them and shrug and call them irrelevant - enjoy every moment of their decline, and hopefully it will last and last and get worse and worse for them. Enjoy watching the horrible fucking rats suffer.

Dusty has been in to get her fanny operated on...

Have you tried discussing politics with her?

@Tony Moanero Do you remember this? It was an answer on University Challenge just now. Immediately brought a flood of memories back which had been lost for decades. Completely forgot it ever existed.

Harry Kane could miss the euros which would mean Hendo captioning England. For the first time ever I would want them to win just to witness the fume of Henderson lifting every trophy worth lifting in 12 months.

I could care less, you douche nozzle.

Paul Bracewell seemed ok as far as I recall.

A quick word about Alisson today. I’m assuming this guy was bit by a radioactive spider when he was a kid, the way the ball stuck to his hands. No spillages or push-outs on dodgy areas, and some determined sweeper keeper action. I fucking love him.

I love cats, we've got 2. Cat 1 lives outdoors in a shed and wont come indoors, shes a bit timid but quite happy with her life. Cat 2 (Nev) lives in with us, a big pure white lovely looking lad but a bit of a bruiser, takes no shit from the 2 dogs or any other cat in the area, basically king of his territory. Up to now. We have now got another cat that has decided to move in, we keep catching it nicking the dogs food. Its obviously getting in through the cat flap and when caught it shows no real fear just saunters off. The 2 dogs have been trained by Nev to be pretty submissive to cats and show little interest. Nev meanwhile is completely unperturbed and seems quite happy to allow this cat in, I can only assume it must be female. We cant lock the cat flap as Nev is in and out about 500 times a day and goes mental if he cant use it. How do you stop a cat moving in with you?
