What do you think of our new signings and do they address the current weak spots the team may have?

I worked in a restaurant where the owner was dodgy as fuck. He'd go to Calais and buy a load of French beer and keep it under the bar if he ever ran out and just used it but would charge people the price of a pint. The lad I worked with shared a flat with a lad who worked for customs and excise, he told his flatmate about the lager and asked if it was against trading standards. His flatmate just walked in one day with a work pass and said that he had a report from Dover about his excessive day trips to France and that he was confiscating all the French beer under trading standards law and if they disputed it he could be charged £15,000 and closed down. The owner shat himself and agreed. This lad and his flatmate spent the next 3 days getting shitfaced on French stubby lager.

Journalists have become lazy and actually stopped being journalists, that’s the problem. His job as a journalist is not to report what he is being told, it is to ask questions and write about the truth, not put his name to something written by the club itself. I have dealt with enough journalists over the years to see how it’s unfolded, budget cuts, cuts in jobs and less time to actually do the job of an actual journalist. I have lost count of the times we have sent in ready made articles with both questions and answers ourselves, because the journalists have not had the time to do their job. Later on it’s released as an article written by a journalist. If Pearce was worth his salt as a journalist he would ask questions, he would look at patterns and timelines and he would stop reporting and start investigating and making his own mind up about things. Not be a mouthpiece for the club l the club has its own press officers for that.

Some hacks are still parroting the FSG claptrap. Here's Lewis Steele: 'it would be wrong to stick the knife into Liverpool for operating with a measured, quality-over-quantity approach'. What Steele and Co are missing is that allowing a squad to crumble, with contracts left to run-out, senior players allowed to leave, several promising young players sold or hurried off on loan, whilst no new signings are made at all, is NOT 'measured'. It's gross mismanagement.

They're both fucking shit. Boring, up their own arse, fucking shit.

I think all they are arsed about is paying off the stadium debt as quickly as possible and scraping 4th or 5th to get the CL revenue. Basically like an absentee landlord doing the bare minimum to keep one of their properties going. They are basically just a better run and more well financed version of 777 who tried to buy Everton. Just buying loads of clubs or sports teams to add to their portfolio and do the absolute bare minimum to keep them above water. Probably why the Boston Celtics fans dont want them anywhere near them. if you were Trent, you wouldn't hang around and waste the next 5 years of your career on the off chance of winning one league cup in that time when you can win La Liga, CL, super cups and world club cups virtually every season playing with top players. Yet you'll have the superfans calling him a snake or turncoat saying he fucked over his boyhood club for a transfer fee or had no loyalty.

She looks like the boobie prize at a particularly grim neighbourhood swingers club Can just see it now... 'Who owns the Mazda, come on I know these are someone's keys. Brian, are these yours? No! Phil, no? Well one of you is owning up to it taking me to the spare room. Honestly, you can't all fuck Lisette'

And after the inspirational season where the kids were celebrating being at a club that gives them the chance to progress, we are now seeing a succession of them posting messages suggesting they're on the way out. That's a weird kind of achievement - to throw away the best feel good factor the academy has ever had. You have to hand it to Hughes, his attention to detail is remarkable - there's no aspect of the club he's not managing to disenchant.

New manager. New season. New format. Of course, some things don't change. We are again in Jurgen's favourite TV slot, with a Saturday lunchtime fixture away to a newly promoted team whose fans will be up for it. That's a different proposition to consider compared to a February afternoon or evening when the newly promoted team's form and fortunes may be dwindling, and they just want to avoid a bumming. As I write, we are yet to sign anybody, and are the only side in the league not to have done so. As strong as the coaching staff may say the squad is, there is no doubt that strengthening it with some quality new additions can really help. As I write, there has also been no movement on the contract renewal talks with Mo, Virg and Trent. That needs rectifying sharpish as they can all talk to other European clubs from January 1st otherwise. Anyway, this new change? I got bored of anagrams a while back so just used the same one all last season. I also got tired of searching for highlights of games, and realised that some were repeats of previous match threads. This year, I thought it would be interesting to see how our previous managers have got on in their first corresponding fixture against the same opposition since the advent of the Premier League. Ipswich had been absent since 2002 so not much to go on. Souness...25/08/1992...Ipswich 2-2 Liverpool (Walters, Molby pen) Evans...29/10/1994...Ipswich 1-3 Liverpool (Barnes, Fowler 2) Houllier...10/04/2001...Ipswich 1-1 Liverpool (Heskey) Thompson (caretaker)...09/02/2002...Ipswich 0-6 Liverpool (Xavier, Heskey 2, Hyypia, Owen 2) Benitez...N/A Hodgson...N/A Dalglish...N/A Rodgers...N/A Klopp...N/A I don't ask for much. Maximum motivation, control, application, attitude and concentration from minute one. 3 points please. Get it done!

Fuck me, I thought all of this was settled The answer was that the majority including all the deviants, kiddie fiddlers, bed wetters and general ne'er do wells like beans on a fry up. The rancid globules mesh with the general depravity and moral turpitude of the willing victim to create a wave of self disgust and loathing exemplified by Jimmy Saville, Pol Pot and Margaret Thatcher. The non beaners although few in number are strong in faith, hope and joy and are widely admired as beacons of dignity and kindness to small animals and the less fortunate... examples include Jesus, Mohammed Ali and Roger Moore

Imagine the absolute fume in Boston if this is back on.... "Hughes you Limey cocksucker, I thought I told you to piss about until the start of the new season on a deal that could never be made? You get on the phone and you kill it stone dead you motherfucker"

How do you pronounce hors d'oeuvres ? Would probably be better answered early on in the pod.

There's no plan B, because there was no plan A. They went in for zubimendi because he didn't want to join, same as caciedo last season. It's just a big stunt. Do people really think after 2 summers looking for someone in this position, the team with the greatest depth of knowledge in world football can only come up with Endo, some kid who doesn't want to leave Spain, some kid who city fucked off and had only won about 3 professional games of football and the lad who'd have cost 110m and never wanted to come here? All the knowledge, data and scouting and that's all they can find? Get to fuck. They just don't want to spend. They have zero ambition and are going through a process of clearing the decks on klopp's highly paid squad to trim the squad down and make it younger and cheaper.

Working from home has its perks… Black Cod & Spinach w/Miso Dressing.

Allison is the best keeper in world football and has been for about 6 years. We need to give him the eternal life pill.

The whole "opportunistic" things just reeks of we have no fucking plan or clue we will just gets heads up from agents and see where a potential cheap deal could happen like fucking antiques road trip. FSG should end every season stood infront of the camera while a narrator explains the profits and losses of the season alongside a cheap graphic of money falling into a piggy bank. The whole Gordon thing at the time was because we thought we could get a PSR deal out of Newcastle. If he happens now it will probably be because Diaz is going and they want a Trent appeasement plan a Scouser in our team for when he fucks off. For what it's worth i don't want Gordon at all, if he actually does improve the side it would be by a miniscule amount. The diving fucker won't get away with 90 percent of the shit he gets away with at his small clubs. We need that 6 type holding midfielder it's the biggest way to improve our team in my opinion and we need to sort contracts out and not sort them out and treat it like they are new signings and what great work we have done, shove your PR up your arse those contracts should of been dealt with a long time ago. There's been zero forward thinking.

The Western Approaches in Croxteth had its roof fall through mid afternoon with about 5 old fellas watching the racing in it. Word got around and when the fire brigade and ambulance turned up there were about 50 people lying on the floor with dry cement and broken wood over them. All bought from the DIY shop over the road.

Apparently with this goalie they are and I shit you not “ exploring what a deal could look like” but it’s “premature to say that a deal is close” as a proud “bed wetter” I’ve honestly got no words. Please just sell and go. We need these out

Honestly, you can't even assault asylum seekers without some libtard calling you "racist" these days. It's woke gone mad!

Pebbles the pomapoo enjoying her holiday by lying down in new and exciting places. Lazy sod.

My mate's parents house backs onto a main road. His dad gets a knock on the door someone offering replace and put up new fence panels for 200 quid. Can't remember exact figure. Obviously cash payments. He's happy with his new fence all finished for 4pm. At 6pm he gets a knock from a neighbour as the had nicked his fence and moved it down a few doors.

That’s why you have a recruitment team though isn’t it? What they’ve effectively said is that there were no attainable midfielders better than Arthur Melo and Endo out there in the last 2 years for a club of our size and stature. So either someone’s not very good at their job, or theirs shenanigans afoot. Or both. But either way it’s not how a top club should be operating.

"Content creation" will go through the same arc as a bloke's ability to be stimulated by porn. It starts off reasonably tame then has to become more shocking and extreme to elicit a reaction, then it gets to the point where it doesn't really work at all. I feel we're in that final phase now with the shock jock shite.

Wool!

they didnt loot because of austerity. they looted shops because they wanted to protect "r kids" That argument doesn’t wash at all. Poor people have been getting fucked over for the past 14 years, yet these thick fucking cunts decided to riot because they thought an immigrant had killed 3 kids. You seem to be missing the point that these werent rage against the machine “protests. They were literally targeting 1 group of people. I saw someone on twitter say today they rioted because they were fed up with violence on the streets. You cant measure that level of stupidity I haven’t a shred of sympathy.

But why is that? Is it because he has set the bar so low? He is writing for the Athletic now, I thought that’s exactly the type of journalism we were supposed to get from them.

Again, he didnt just post a an unpleasant message on Facebook. At a time when Muslims where being violently attacked in the street..he indicated he thinks brown people should be shot

If The Red Men or TAW podcast came calling how quickly would you fuck TLW off?

It would be absolutely next level Liverpool to fuck up a transfer but then go back to double fuck it.

They're not clueless, they just don't give a fuck. It seems like they gave up investing in being properly competitive after Abu Dhabi FC were let off by the CAS ruling and they realised FFP was no more than a paper tiger.

People are still on w this. Klopp was far more than a cheerleader...

That's the step after next. The next step is for JW Henry to ring Hughes up and congratulating him on all his diligence finding the perfect player for the system who gets painfully and excruciatingly homesick and to give him his next remit, which is to find a 65m rated world beating right sided forward who has Visa issues and can't leave the country he currently plays in for the next 2 years and who also gets painfully and excruciatingly travel sick (only nobody else knows this yet). Only then will they move on to the "we were all ready to splash 250m on replacements for VVD, TAA, Salah and Robertson, but we were foiled by PSR rules". That's the FSG definition of 'future prooofing' always make sure you are at least two excuses ahead.

The video of that attack was disgusting. He’ll be more than crying when he gets on his wing. Racist cunt

If you can’t handle us not signing players in the positions we need, you don’t deserve us buying more reserve goalkeepers x

Someone seems nervous about online content facing real punishments, interesting...

I've no problem with buying him and loaning him out for a season. If Ali has indicated he'd like to move on after this season then its good planning to get in an excellent replacement. Why we can't apply that level of thinking to alternatives playing DM I don't know.

I have no view on Curtis Jones but this fella has the feel of a young Alan Partridge. "Just to add I did contact LFC at the time and was told it was being passed on to the player liason who unfortunately never got back to me!" He did see a UFO in Wigan though.

Just to add to that as well. Look at what we’ve done in terms of ‘upgrading’ the squad in the last few years as well. Take out of the equation players getting older, and consider when they were at their best, what we have done is replaced: Mane with Diaz Firminho with Gakpo Fabinho with Endo Milner with Gravenberch Origi with Nunez (Casts out Rod!!) Henderson with the number 8 (can’t spell it) Pretty much all of them are significant downgrades in both quality and character.

Did he play that much the season before? And I seem to remember he got pulled out for a bit because people targeted him in the air and he was shite (obviously because he's tiny)

Gotta nip it in the bud. The online stuff was what caused it, the disinformation and the bile grew exponentially and it all went from snide comments to people trying to burn down hotels. We all watched it happen in real time. If justice hadn't been this swift and hard it'd still be going on now, believe me. These people aren't the type of folk you can reason with. They have no community leaders or political wing, they're the type of people who enjoy violence. If they weren't doing this they'd be lobbing things at a pensioner's window or battering someone outside a club when it's five on one. They only understand simple actions and solutions. When a dog tries to nip you you give it a fucking good crack, when the able seaman refuses an order you give him 20 lashes.

Fuck that, should have shot them all. Send them to Bellmarsh let Abu Hamza give them some hook-shaped two tier justice right up the arse.

You need a "none of the above", Monty Brewster style.
