Monday Jul 31: As expected, Van Dijk is named captain and Trent is given the vice captaincy. I wrote about this last week and there’s not much to add. I don’t think Virgil is a perfect choice but I don’t think we had any choice but to give it to him, because otherwise it would have essentially been a demotion. Trent being promoted to next in line makes sense as he’s the future of the club and the extra responsibility should help get him ready for it. Meanwhile, Klopp is asked about this Mbappe loan move nonsense. I didn’t even mention it in last week’s diary as it’s clearly bollocks and what more is there left to say about all that? I’m glad Klopp was asked though as it gave him the chance to shoot it down. He did, sort of. But he used terms such as ‘as far as I know’ and ‘maybe those above me are working on it as a surprise for me’ which is obviously tongue in cheek but just leaves the door open enough for the click baiters to keep on churning it out. We’re closing in on Lavia now according to reports. Fucking hell, we’ve been closing in on him for weeks. We must be moving like Fabinho after a Sunday dinner. Elsewhere, Bobby Duncan (remember him?) has signed for a Spanish third division side. What a waste. It’s easy to go down the “fuck him, it’s all his own fault” road on this, and part of me wants to. He wanted it too soon, didn’t want to be patient and pay his dies, and he listened to the wrong people. Or person. That agent should be in fucking jail really, the absolute cunt. Shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near talented young footballers. There’s less of an excuse for Duncan than others considering he’s related to Gerrard and should have been looking to him for advice rather than the leech of an agent, but I still have some sympathy for him. I didn’t at first, but seeing how things have turned to complete shit for him now gives me no pleasure. It is weird how some of these teen prodigies fall off a cliff after making a bad decision though. Jerome Sinclair is another. He played for us at 16 and although he was never really Liverpool quality, he should have been a Premier League player. But he rejected a contract here for a big offer at Watford and now he isn’t even in the game anymore. He’s not even 30 yet. Chalk another one up to a cunt agent. Our old pal Aidy Ward was the agent involved in that one. Sinclair runs a fried chicken shop in Birmingham now. Maybe Bobby Duncan can open a chippy in Huyton when this latest move doesn’t work out?14 points -

I remember being in one of my mates houses, years ago, who’s mother was a bit of a snob. We weren’t banned exactly, but were never exactly made welcome. Anyway, she was out so a few of us were round there messing about. We’d have been early teens. Some ornament got broken pretty much as his mother walked through the door. She went off on one with at one of my other mates, who she’d decided was the culprit (it may have been, can’t remember). She shouted at him to sit down. Which he did, right on top of the expensive sunglasses she’d left on the chair in her front room. Not sure any of us ever went round there again after that.5 points

I only ever buy chips from a chippy if they are willing to cook them fresh for me. I’ve been banned from many a chippy that refused. I even had one chippy owner accuse me of being affiliated to a rival business. I wouldn’t have minded but the chippy in question was only open about twice a week and sold shit gravy.5 points

We’re at this point because of the owners and their negative attitude to spending. This is on them. The only reason we need to replace the whole midfield is because of the lack of investment and fuck off make do attitude. The manager has already shown he can beat the oil cheating cunts, but he can’t do it with both hands tied behind his back.4 points

The recipe I follow you dont boil the potatoes at all. Grate them raw (after peeling) mix with onion, blackpepper and butter and essentially cook it likes it a big pie. My last effort-

It still fucks me off the way the media - not just the right-wing hate-rags, but BBC and Sky - keep using the word "migrants" when they're talking about asylum seekers. The reason shit like the Daily Heil do it is because it's easy to prefix the word "migrants" with "illegal"; the two have been welded together so effectively that the word "migrants" conjurs up images of illegal immigrants. There's no such thing as an illegal asylum seeker, so the correct term for the poor sods being held on this prison hulk doesn't really do the job of dehumanising them and putting them beyond our concern.3 points

Mrs Curly treated me to a night away at Shrigley Hall in Cheshire for Father’s Day. Been quality spending some time just us. Food has been great and about to tuck into this, which I’m optimistic about. Let battle commence…

Oh agreed, and they've made it easier (for better or worse) for fans to detach some of the emotion as well. Essentially, they've made it easier to care less. Helped, in no small part, by the opposite end of the spectrum happening with other clubs. Obviously, for some people it is much more difficult to let go, and I feel fucking terrible for them. Personally, I find the sport so utterly ridiculous and depressing that the only really joy I would get is seeing the whole lot go completely belly up now.3 points

Mac Allister looks 5 times the player Fabinho was, ar least last season, and 10 times the player Hemderson ever was.2 points

To be fair, Trent's switching with Mac Allister and Szoboszlai been pretty smooth this half. Far more communication and purpose, compared to aimlessly standing around in there.2 points

The thing is a few weeks of not having a defensive midfielder or a trained up DM can make a huge difference at this level. A bad start to the season could cost us a Champions League place & all the riches that entails.2 points

Borthwick was a terrible appointment. Crap, boring, uninventive rugby that’s easy to defend against. Said to the missus straight away he’ll go after a terrible World Cup. The biggest challenge is getting rid of the boring old farts at the RFU.2 points

Agree 110 percent with this. A lovely way to cover up incompetence of match officials. Start by carding the keeper, the 2nd time he wastes time for a goal kick, would be a good way to reduce added time.2 points

Time wasting is a misnomer. It's the breaking up of play and disruption of attacking momentum that needs to be addressed and adding an extra 10 minutes at the end of the game won't stop it. Players need to be booked for it straight away and not in the 87th minute when the damage has already been done.2 points

But this is about Trump and you keep bringing up Biden. It’s nothing to do with him, a separate issue. Classic Trump fan behaviour as far as I can see, all over the Internet, so that’s why it appears you are defending Trump. You aren’t condemning him.2 points
