  1. Monday Dec 2: Something from yesterday I want to mention as I think I forgot to put it in the match report. The coin toss. Virgil wasn’t happy about something and I joked that Kavanagh had brought his double sided coin to allow City to turn us around, but it turns out that Virg wasn’t ready because he was still looking after the mascot. The reason I mention this is because when Virg was asked about it, he actually name checked the little guy, Isaac. He didn’t need to do that, he could have said mascot, but he made a point of saying his name and I thought that was fucking awesome. Imagine how the little kid and his family felt hearing Virgil talking about him like that, almost as though he’s referring to a mate. It’s only a little thing, but it says a lot about Virgil I think. Meanwhile, Simon Hughes says that Mo is exasperated with the lack of movement on a contract and he is willing to accept a one year deal. I’m sure he is, as long as he’s getting a hefty pay rise. Loads of people are saying its the length of contract that’s the sticking point, but it won’t be just that, it will be the salary as well. If he wants a rise, I reckon he’ll be told no chance. Same terms, not a penny more. If he asks for four years on the same terms, he’s not getting it. Would they even stretch to three? I’d like to think so. I’d happily give him three years on his current salary. Not sure the club would, but there is absolutely no reason not to. If Mo is happy to sign for one year, yet no contract is coming, then it’s absolutely because of the salary he’s wanting because one year on the same terms is a deal that LFC would bite his hands off for. So why the delay? My theory is that Richard Hughes knows that he’s in the strong position here. He doesn’t have to persuade Salah to stay, he just has to agree on a deal that suits all parties. So he’s not going to just give in and pay Mo whatever his agent is asking for. He doesn’t need to, because what are Mo’s options? He can threaten to leave and go elsewhere, but there’s nowhere for him to go that’s even close to giving him what he wants in terms of the whole package; money, success, prestige and records. If Mo wants to tick every one of those boxes he can only do it here. I’m positive this deal gets done, but I think it will drag out a good while longer.

  2. So, let me get this straight. You believed that there was a paedophile ring based on nothing more than the existence of a dirty mattress. However, the idea that a former drug dealer, who was thick as thieves with both Diddy and R Kelly, whose pregnant mistress died in mysterious circumstances, who "discovered" Foxy Brown at age 14 and recorded sexually charged lyrics with her at that age, met Beyonce when she was 15, shot his own brother, and stabbed a guy at a record launch party, may be a bit of a wrong un' - this is something of a reach for you?

  10. This game is a chance for us to confirm our place in the knockout stages and avoid having to go through the play-off route. A win would also maintain our 100% record and keep us top. Bear in mind it's in the earlier kick-off time. Girona are newcomers to the Champions League after finishing a surprise 3rd in La Liga last season. Lack of European football and an early exit from the Copa Del Rey meant that they and their coach Michel could concentrate on the league, and they did it by finishing on 81 points, 5 points ahead of 4th placed Atletico. They’ve found it much tougher going this time round as their squad has to cope with the European schedule. In La Liga they sit outside the top 6 and have just been demolished 3-0 at home by Real Madrid. A major reason behind their difficulties this season is the loss of several key players from last season, most of whom were loanees. They are part of the City Football Group sportwashing projects so could use their connections to secure some players with a City connection like Savinho (who has signed for City), Yan Couto (now on loan at Dortmund from City) and Eric Garcia (Barcelona signed him from City and loaned him to Girona last season). They also sold Aleix Garcia to Leverkusen in the summer, along with top scorer Artem Dovbyk to Roma. In the summer, they brought in another raft of loanees which include players with Premier League experience such as Arnaut Danjuma, Bryan Gil and Oriol Romeu. In addition to that, they added Czech international Ladislav Krejci from Sparta Prague (from what I’ve seen of him, he’s decent but error-prone), Colombia international Yaser Asprilla from Watford (he is their record signing, and I’ve no idea if he’s related to Faustino), plus Dutchman Donny van de Beek from the Mancs, who had one or two good seasons at Ajax under Ten Hag but has been shit ever since moving to the Mancs for over £35m 4 years ago. In the Champions League, they’ve been propping up the table alongside the Red Bull clubs. I suspect that Slot was going to use this game to rotate his squad a bit, maybe giving a starting place to the likes of Jarrel, Tyler, Endo and Harvey. He would have preferred if we had some of our injured players available to allow the available ones to have their minutes managed a bit more prior to the upcoming festive schedule. The derby postponement is probably a bit of a benefit as it gives a few the chance to rest up a little bit and re-energise. Macca is suspended for the game (he’ll also miss the Fulham game as he would have been suspended for the derby were it not postponed), but maybe Slot will think he can go stronger than expected for this one. Hopefully Ali and Diogo are closer to being in contention for the squad (and thus our upcoming schedule), and maybe Fede will be brought out of cold storage and be involved. Unfortunately thus far his story is similar to that of every other Italian to don a Liverpool jersey, as they’ve either not been all that (Paletta, Padelli, Dossena, Balotelli) and/or have tended to be injury-prone (Aquilani, Borini). We need him to be a viable option and buck the trend of Italians at Liverpool. Lastly I’d say Darwin needs this game badly to show that he can still be a handful as well as take his chances. We haven’t had that game from him at all yet, and he arrived over 2 years ago. He could do with a game where he delivers a conversion rate like the cave troll. How have our previous managers got on in their first game against Girona? Well, this is the first time we’ll have played them so there is literally no history there. I don't ask for much. Maximum motivation, control, application, attitude and concentration from minute one. 3 points please. Get it done!

  11. To be honest I don't see how it's on Labour to stop people voting reform, any more than it's on the Democrats that people voted for trump. "Oooh you'd better quickly overturn the ravages of right wing politics I continually voted for - and double quick smart - or I will take revenge by voting for an even more right wing party and that'll learn you. Meanwhile I'll consume every type of racism, misogyny, bullshit and lies I can get my hands on and have neither the brains or temperance to check whether it's right or not." James O'brien had it spot on today talking about polarisation, and he said it wasn't about left or right any more, it's about lies vs truth. You've got a Starmer or a Harris who, regardless of their flaws, deal in a world of laws and facts. Opposed to a Farage or a Badenoch or a Truss or a Trump who just spout non stop, outright, provable lies all day, every day. The simple fact of the matter isn't complicated, it's that we're a nation of idiots and an increasingly quite disgusting people and we will get what we deserve.

  12. People who are absolutely thick as fuck going on about homeschooling their kids. Saw one woman in the Echo talking about homeschooling her kids because she believes the education system doesn't suit every type of kid. Being an anti vaxxer beautician who has a Facebook page doing Botox teaching your kids fuck all at home because you know absolutely nothing about any of the subjects your kids learn in depth in class will not help them later in life. Or maybe if your kids weren't complete lazy cunts arsing around in class they might learn something rather than being thick and blaming everyone else. It's always the know it all helmets who think they are experts on a subject just because they read something on Facebook once. Even if you had a degree in one particular subject doesn't make you the world authority on every subject they will learn. My cousin who is absolutely thick as pigshit is going on about taking his 2 kids out of school to homeschool them because he says he was failed by the education system. He left school with zero qualifications and has just bounced around from job to job with long periods out of work. So he's going to project his failures and batshit opinions onto his 2 kids. He can barely spell so god knows how he's going to get through an English curriculum. People think that being a teacher is the easiest job in the world. You wonder why if it's such a cushy number why loads of people aren't queuing up to do it rather than going off sick or leaving the profession altogether.

  19. My kids are calling me Killa Mounjaro now it’s been that good. Got a few clients in the medical industry and they all reckon this is the one to use. Done me and the Mrs the world of good and she’s suffered with an under active thyroid for years. Got no appetite for all the things I used to love. Can’t even face a bevvy now. Don’t miss it at all. We’re 25 years married in January and off on a cruise. Not only do I have to buy a load of new shirts, but I’m dreading the thought of eating and drinking. They didn’t say growing a mangina was one of the side effects.

  21. Disagree that the football stuff is secondary. I think she’s been pivotal to our success. It’s unlikely that some bald Dutch guy who was just managing Feynoord is the reason we’re out in front; it’s clearly her. It’s not a coincidence that the most handsome lads in the squad have seriously upped their game.

  22. They're certainly well placed (with promotion and funding from some dangerous cunts) to get a fuckload of seats; not enough to win power, but enough to be a significant influence on the parliamentary agenda. That's why it's so important that Labour succeed in not only improving people's lives, but also in selling the perception of those improvements and getting people to realise that life is better if you vote for non-cunts.

  26. That’s the entire process of the club now though - layers and layers of nonsense, and the higher you climb the less defined your role is to leave you ever-less accountable. •The Glazers leech off the club and contribute nothing. But nobody blames them anymore because… •Ratcliffe pays for the privilege of making the little people redundant and playing at being a football club owner (something he’s failed at multiple times already). So he redirects blame to… •Ashworth is recruited at great cost and no little difficulty, but his role doesn’t make sense because there’s also Berrada. They’ve only got rid of him now because he lost his insulation after they fired… •The manager is ostensibly in charge of results - except the club is so rich, yet has been incapable of mounting a meaningful challenge for any proper trophy for around a decade, under half a dozen managers of all backgrounds and profiles. What’s their solution? •The manager chucks players under the bus, with new scapegoats whose faces don’t fit despite flourishing elsewhere and arriving at great cost. It’s a great big cash cow, which boosts almost nobody’s reputation (unless they get out quick) yet is crazily lucrative all the same. How do I get a piece of the action?!

  32. is that “EFCMAN4EVA”?! Day of the Real Madrid game there’s another huge thread moralising about tourists and our underdog hero’s navigating their own City without knowing who supported Real or Liverpool. He was all over it. Later that day he posted about bike rides. He’s from Saint Helen’s.

  33. Yeah, but didn't you see that arsenal fan video? They're just going to win 23 and draw 2 of their last 25. I'm assuming they just thought they'd get one of their draws out of the way early, because it's so hard to draw when you're that good.

  37. The Romanian election has been voided because of Russian interference. We have Musk (probably with Russian assistance) looking for an election in the UK. Starmer isn't flashy, charming, charismatic, inspirational or any of the things you might think you need from a leader. What is he is boring, sensible, intelligent, he's exactly what's needed at a time when the world is doused in petrol and loads of mad cunts are running around with matches.

  39. I think our academy does fine. The level is that high that you can't expect the squad packed with local lads. We currently have a top class lad who's won it all and who the world's biggest club wants and another lad who's on the very edges of being a regular and has 150 games behind him. Add that to to the poaching we've done of young lads over the years who've either made us money (sterling for example) or gone well (currently Harvey) and all the cracking lads who've come through, Gerrard, carra, Fowler, mcmanaman, Owen (who was a balon d'or winner here), I think our academy can be proud of what it's achieved. Before that bobs and bills teams were full of local lads.
