  1. All of the beat writers (Bascombe, Joyce, TIA, etc.) covering Liverpool went with it at the same time. That only means one thing: they’ve been briefed by the club he’s either unavailable this summer and they have to move on to other targets or he’s not interested in coming at the moment. Same thing happened with Bellingham. It has very little to do with what the Bayern fella has said.
  2. "THAT'S BOLLOCKS" he screams, with a ridiculously subjective comparison lacking any self awareness that only really emphasises my original point.
  3. Carragher did say it – "where's bigger than Liverpool?" and it went on t-shirts.
  4. Bayern look at themselves the way we look at ourselves when we're batting away rumours a player/manager would want to go elsewhere.
  5. Not saying you are mates with him, but this is one of the reasons I think people being mates with their cousins is weird. Cousins are weird. Don't like any of mine.
  6. Haha. The chaos is great. So much good stuff comes from that, which wouldn't happen when I'm hosting because I'm more aware of moving on the discussion/time/getting other people involved, etc. I know you like structure, Johnny.
  7. I was never a doubter of Klopp. I wasn't the biggest fan of some of his methods immediately. Couple of things stick out from the time ... him going on MNF to talk about his methods irked me (it wouldn't now, it's common), and the way he was with the crowd sometimes didn't sit well with me. All just part of the natural getting-to-know-you, I suppose. Plus, I couldn't stand Rodgers from day one. And still can't. So I was delighted from the off.
  8. All of this new manager talk is leaving me just cold and non-plussed. I don't think I'll be excited about anyone. Even if it's Alonso, it'll be like getting a step dad. I mean, yeah, he's a nice bloke and he'll look after your mum and that. But it's still not your dad, your dad is leaving you, and your family isn't gonna feel like it did. I dunno, I feel like with everything going on with the oil clubs skewing everything, VAR, the referring, the constant international football breaks, the fucking horrendous bantah and poverty/tragedy chanting... this might be a natural way just to let it all drift out of my heart a bit.
  9. He'll be Steve McLaren MkII. Except without the Championsh Shleague. Big Gamesh.
  10. That's some PR job the club has done this weekend on trying to rehabilitate his rep. I just don't know why they'd go to that much effort. I suppose anyone they can get to show up at these "legends" games who was actually good at one point should be clung onto.
  11. A Rocky movie (Creed III) pretty much was made in 2023 and they didn't even involve Stallone in it. So, yeah, your analogy totally stands up.
  12. You said the same kind of stuff about the Spanish reports about Bellingham and Real. The reality of the situation is that all the noises, regardless of where they're coming from are that he isn't coming here.
  13. And the rest. Steve's one of the best LFC writers of the fanzine era and, beyond that, city of Liverpool writers around. Look up some of his books on Liverpool street names.
  14. Personally, I don't disagree with you about any of this. But we're an open forum where the participants speak their minds about what they're most passionate about. I think we all wish we could ignore the officiating, or it at least their discussion being more of a rare occurrence as it is in every other sport on the planet. Thanks for your feedback and thanks for listening.
  15. He was having an argument with his Mrs after the Celtic friendly post Hillsborough and Marina stepped in. He told her to fuck off and mind her own business. Then the next day he apologised before getting on the coach back home after Kenny had mentioned he’d upset her. That’s the story from his autobiography anyway.
  16. In his book, Aldo describes a tiff with Marina and her saying "you won't be here for much longer anyway" and that coming to pass. I don't think he necessarily think she was behind him leaving, just that she had insight into Aldo not being in the plans with Rushy coming back.
  17. Two words to soothe you: David. Moyes.
