To clarify: 1) I do think City cooking their books. So do the Premier League. 2) I'm not interested in going back and forth on the minutiae of the conspiracy theories about referring in the UK, but accept there is bias deployed at various times for various reasons. Conflicts of interest are obviously present. Stop the UAE trips, get refs off games of teams from rival cities. It's a Howard Webb problem. That needs sorting out and can easily be done. A grand conspiracy to deny Liverpool a title isn't a thing. 3) I only came into this thread to push back against that crap spouted towards Jules and the Covid vaccine style "I do my own research. Wake up, sheeple" which is how you sound. Have at it with whatever you wanna respond to that, if at all. I'm done.

I don't think there's no chance of corruption, I just refuse to believe they reckon they'd have any chance of ever getting away with it. Unconscious bias is one thing; deliberately rigging games because of the current "they hate us" rationale from every set of fans and "they're getting openly paid off by city" is another. It makes people look like cranks.

What about when it comes crashing down and it hurts inside?

I'd say not having the energy to refute conspiracy theories makes Jules more ok than those touting them.

Bingo. Edit: Lee beat me to it.

He can't even grow hair, how can he manage a top football club?

No-one knows, especially those bullshit artists on Twitter. Who knows whether Liverpool have even talked money with him? Who knows whether they've even made a play for him?

I'd rather David Rose.

*awkwardly whistles while refusing to make eye contact*

Just give it to fucking Lijnders and stop fucking about.

Jules doing the Lord's work during that referee chat.

If that little Italian runt becomes our manager, I'm done. Fuck that. To quote Gunnery Sgt Hartman, it looks like the best part of him ran down the crack of his momma's ass and ended up as the brown stain on the mattress.

Agree with the lads on keeping the same front three, at least for midweek. It looked a little bit cohesive.

He heard it from Richard Keys.

Beautiful post, mate.

Is that... legroom?

If you want to ignore all context outlined in the original post by all means, but... fucking hell.

We're in a tight spot! I'm feeling like we should go all out to try and overcome this Atalanta deficit. It feels more achievable to me than the title, which feels absolutely gone now. It'd give us the opportunity to end the era on a high and complete the set for Jurgen. Thoughts?

Think Paul covered that one off, Beef.

Me in 2064 when ol' Dave Usher finally give up hope...

Klopp is detaching emotionally and it's having a grave effect on what we're seeing on the field. I don't necessarily think it's a conscious thing. We can all do it, you detach emotionally to protect and prepare yourself to cope. I think that's what's happening here. We rely completely on being all-in... 100% focused, 100% engines running. It's not there.

And again, I'm questioning the character of the players and the staff after today.

if you weren’t so smug the other night telling people how they should feel it wouldn’t have been on my mind, so it takes one to know one I suppose.

It was harsh to throw shade at him. Silly even. I was I pissed off and lashing out.

presume you’ll be walking this back now? if you watched that and think the malaise is unrelated to Klopp’s departure then you’re kidding yourself.
