It's all been said before, but I'll say it anyway. I don't want to call for FSG Out, because my head hurts at the thought of what we'll get instead, and how the instability and uncertainty will affect what happens on the pitch. As well as that, I hate Twitter, and most of the FSG Out people I just can't identify with. But the truth is, they are selling us well short. They are playing on our inevitable optimism, and our unwavering loyalty. These are the things that will get them through these rough waters. Next Saturday when the season starts, we'll all be optimistically behind the boys. We'll battle on, we'll win a few and the potential poison will evaporate. As well as selling us short, they are selling Klopp short. He is the BEST manager in the world. The best manager in the world is the manager of our club. It is such a privilege. Their negligence is going to cost us on the pitch, and, sooner or later, off the pitch too. Haggling over a few million for a player they have pinned everything on is bizarre. And I'll be honest, I'm hooked into this Lavia affair like I have some sort of key investment in it. AND I DON'T EVEN WANT HIM. We need better. We need a better holding midfielder, and we need better owners. I suppose I don't want new owners, I just want our current owners to change, be better, get behind the manager, and honour the supporters who deserve better,

No, no, no, no, no, no! Schmatdke's made us look like a right cunt...

So Hunt is concerned we're in a 'low growth trap'. Yeah, that's what happens when people's wages don't keep up with the cost of living and what money they do have is continually siphoned off to the rentier parasite, non-productive class.

A mate who has a mate (I know, I know) who works at the training ground reckons we’re actively negotiating with 7 different clubs to buy 2 midfielders and a CB. The clubs all wanted more money once news about the Saudi deals started breaking, hence the delays. That’s as good as some Twitter report I reckon.

Anybody else wondering why, with all these fantastic, expensive footballers, Southampton were absolute cack.

I hope you're wrong, obviously. But when there's significant jubilance among a fanbase over the unexpected departure of two senior players despite previous evidence suggesting that there were no guarantees on replacements, they're probably in the right game.

The transfer team at FSG HQ...

FF on the GF, nobody cares any more, this is how society ends, with a whimper

Remember when we had a defender crisis after winning the fucking league and we signed Ben Davis and Kabak on loan? Joke of a summer ‘rebuild’ so far. This club takes the piss.

Sister in Laws new Ragdoll “Nuna”.

The grief seekers are the worst I may have shared the story of the woman I know whose family member was in intensive care. The poor fella is on a tube and she is organising lifts and visiting hours with the same zest you would a night out. I don't think the sadness of the situation could compete with the joy she experienced with all the activity the situation generated Grief seeking missiles

When you realise your wife, and even your business partner, are besotted. And it’s not with you.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Should have just told them they were there to install a gas meter.

It's funny how being a cunt can make you money, but it catches up with you when you're looking for someone to give a fuck. When Caroline Flack killed herself there was rightly lots of sympathy out there for her, if Wooton does the same it'll be a race against time between me and Stig to see who can post the Van Damme dancing gif first.

Can see where our transfer budget is going

Liverpool's hopes of signing Romeo Lavia have been given a boost after the Southampton midfielder was benched for their Championship opener against Sheffield Wednesday.

Amateur.

Mentioning *F on the GF? Standards must be upheld.

You know the wierdest thing I ever saw on this website was way back in the day. We were having some trouble with the right back position and someone made the entirely serious suggestion that we could re-purpose Emile Heskey for the position. As I say the guy was entirely serious. One of the responses was "if you are on a fishing trip and have caught a few then fair play. If you are serious then I have one thing to say - PUT DOWN THE CRACK PIPE." That was funny back then but it came back to me watching Curtis Jones pretend to be a six and all I can say is " this shit ain't funny in real life". Yes I know that technically he can play the 6. Timmy Mallet could technically play the six. I could technically play the 6. Emile Heskey could technically have played right back. We are getting to a difficult opening fixture and we are probably either going to have Curtis Jones playing the 6 or a definately not match fit and maybe not even physically fit Bajectic on a mobility scooter. Its a disgrace of the highest order.

Raheem Sterling.

So our transfers being done by some off his tits on ket 60 year old

We were not the better side against Bayern.

Even if they were 10 points adrift at the bottom with four matches left I still wouldn't believe they were going. I refuse to get my hopes up.

Looks like there’ll be a rematch: https://danrafael.substack.com/p/spence-crawford-generates-at-least Terence Crawford’s supreme performance in a ninth-round knockout of Errol Spence Jr. to become the undisputed welterweight world champion last Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas generated at least 650,000 domestic Showtime PPV buys, multiple sources with knowledge of the event told Fight Freaks Unite on Thursday. The sources said there is a good chance the number could rise to closer to 675,000 buys or more once everything is counted. At 650,000, the fight, which sold for $84.99, generated a gross of more than $55 million in pay-per-view revenue. The fight, which stamped Crawford as boxing’s pound-for-pound king, also generated more than $21 million in ticket sales at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where attendance was announced as a 19,900 sellout. The gate total put Spence-Crawford in the same realm as the year’s other mega fight, Gervonta Davis’ seventh-round knockout of Ryan Garcia on April 22, which generated a gate of $22.8 million — fifth-biggest in Nevada history — at T-Mobile Arena. Davis-Garcia, however, did far more Showtime PPV buys, landing at about 1.2 million and more than $100 million in PPV revenue. Crawford’s victory in the long-awaited fight allowed him to retain the WBO 147-pound title and to take the WBC, IBF and WBA belts from Spence to become the first undisputed welterweight champion of the four-belt era. Crawford, who also unified the four belts at junior welterweight in 2017, became the first male boxer to become a four-belt undisputed champion in two weight classes. Spence and Crawford figure to make at least $25 million apiece, though Spence’s contract called for him to have a slightly greater share than 50 percent, a source with knowledge of the deal told Fight Freaks Unite. The fight marked by far the most successful pay-per-view event for either Spence or Crawford. Spence (28-1, 22 KOs), 33, of DeSoto, Texas, who had sold in the 300,000s previously, was headlining his fifth consecutive pay-per-view card, having also faced Yordenis Ugas, Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter and Mikey Garcia on pay-per-view. Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs), 35, of Omaha, Nebraska, who knocked Spence down in the second round and twice more in the seventh round in the dominating victory, was in his third pay-per-view main event in a row and fifth overall, having previously headlined against David Avanesyan, Porter, Amir Khan and Viktor Postol, but having never had any of his events get into the 200,000s for pay-per-view sales. To celebrate Crawford’s victory, Omaha has scheduled a parade for him on Aug. 12 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. CT in downtown Omaha with the parade concluding at the Gene Leahy Mall at the Riverfront. “Let’s celebrate Terence together for his outstanding achievements as a world champion and coach and mentor to the youth at B&B Sports Academy,” Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert said. “His genuine interest in the young people of Omaha shows his real strength in preparing the next generations for success. The City is proud to create this event that honors him and that everyone can participate in.”

Nah, they'll go with a combination of the Saudi's messing up the market and "Klopp's choice/decisions" and too many will fall for it, as usual.

No if about it!

the real mystifying thing imo is that we were planning to go into the season with Fabinho as our first choice defensive midfielder. It’s like we were pretending last season just didn’t happen.

These utter utter bastards.

Covid-1995

The trial could be a complete circus if Trump persists with his unusual step of hiring Wayne Rooney as his defence lawyers.

If I was Prime Minister first thing I would do would be to ban all work meetings and phone calls. Just an excuse for people who are full of absolute shite to prattle on about nothing while the work builds up.

“Here be Toppest of Top Reds, purveyor of self-proclaimed wondrous t-shirts, Scouse Republic.” Scouse Republic @ScouseRepublic · 3h I’ll be honest, if we don’t offer £50m for Lavia I believe its coz Klopp doesn’t value him at that. We won’t know for certain the reasons why it’s taking ages, but £50m for a 19 year old from a relegated side does seem well over the top. We need a ready made CDM regardless!

Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

I miss the days when Rachel Riley was just the new fit girl on Countdown. Simpler times.

They deal in explosives? I always wondered where they got their cash from.

Thats 14 midfielders and 7 defenders. That may just solve our defensive issues.

To be fair "a mate who knows a mate" is a notch above "some bloke down the pub told me". Only one notch like.

The day after an Everton win and us dropping points.

I would have thought you'd have included Tommy Gemmel Stig. Scored in two European Cup finals and played in every game in the quad season of 1966/67. He had as good an international career as Nicol and his club career is comparable (albeit in the Scottish league).

Causing trouble on twitter again. Getting involved in the bullying of Michael Rosen by the usual Internet trolls. Using someone's death as an excuse to have a sly dig but too cowardly to mention his name outright. Michael Rosen is one of the soundest people on this planet.

It would be as funny as fuck if it happened, but absolutely will not. The Mrs is also so sure, she said she'd post "MBappe" in large letters on her tits if he ever sets foot on the pitch at Anfield in a Liverpool shirt.

All good stuff, and I agree fully with the general sentiment about Henderson. It's a baffling decision he's taken. The more I think about it, the more it strikes me that he's the Jaime Lannister of Liverpool. Someone whose character arc was perfectly written and excecuted: he overcame adversity and a whole load of sneering to become - as Tywin wanted of Jaime - the man he was always meant to be. Then he completely fucks it up with a nonsensical change in direction that goes against everything he'd seemingly built himself to become.

Anyone who claims to be a fan of something but doesn't know anything about it. "I love star wars me, I dressed up as a stormtrooper at Llandudno comicon." "What do you think of the Empire's 'human first' policy on the core worlds and how do you think Grand Admiral Thrawn reconciles it, given the fact he's a member of the Chiss Ascendancy?" "Fuck you on about?"

Fucking hate Spurs me. You all knew that was coming didn't you........
