    Parade

    Klopp in today's press conference: "We have enough reasons to celebrate already. Carabao Cup, FA Cup and whatever will come. We didn't have a parade two years ago when we became champion. I'm happy we can now deliver what I promised. It's just for Liverpool FC. I couldn't care less what other people think."

    I made this point in work. At this level whoever they sign is only going to improve them incrementally. It’s not like they’ll win 10-0 every game instead of 5-0. Finding ways to improve things like fitness and conditioning can have as much as if not more impact at the top top end.

     

    At least we’ve got salbutamol to fall back on.

    He may be the difference to get them a champions League? Hopefully not...

    Agree, people talk about Haaland like he's going to be a 12th player on the field.  No, they'll have to field 1 less player in midfield, and that changes their approach, unless they want to play Haaland wide left or right, which will be fucking hilarious. 

    This is a good point that people seem to forget. However Pep made it work pretty well with Aguero so don't think it'll be that much of an issue 

    I feel fine

    Jürgen Klopp on his song: “The players sing it in the bus now but not for me, for Joel: ‘I’m so glad that Joel is a red’. I’m glad he’s a red as well actually!”

    I don't need to watch fuck all to know that grassing someone to their employer for something like that is snide as fuck.

     

    If you've got a problem with him, speak to him direct or go & smash him instead of being a snake & going to his boss.

     

    I can't get on board with that shit at all, let alone coming on here to boast about it. 

    Why are you promoting violence?

    I didn't say football broadcasting was a natural monopoly I said it wasn't. 

     

    Bridges are indeed often natural monoplies due to high capital costs and marginal (if any) benefits of competition. Nobody drives over a bridge thinking "nah this is shit" the other one was better. Bridges are often citied as examples of natural monopolies although like with most things there are contexts where it might not apply. 

     

     

     

    Our difference in opinion probably lies in the context. I was thinking of bridges on a national scale rather than local.

    I think I understand your argument.

     

     You are saying that a football game is the equivalent of a "natural monopoly" where competition is irrelevant because people have to use the service. A classic example of a natural monopoly is a bridge - you don't need competing bridges you just need ONE good bridge across a river and competition does not provide any benefit. There is ONE river so what is the point of multiple competing bridges? None. 

     

    I'm not sure how true that is when it comes to broadcasting a football match. The match itself is a kind of natural monopoly - there is one match. However the broadcasting of that match CAN be subject to competition and possibly in a way that will reduce prices. 

     

    In any case the proof is in the pudding. Lets see what its like. Or at least I will. 

     

    I wouldn't call football broadcasting a natural monopoly, nor the market for bridges. A natural monopoly is one in which the fixed costs are so high it is better to have one regulated supplier of the service/good. Competition does provide benefit in both football broadcasting and bridge construction - it lowers costs and increases quality. The issue is we don't have true competition in football. We have artificial competition "for the market" rather than "in the market".

    Pep's latest comments:

     

    "My son and my daughter always when Liverpool win in the last minutes say Liverpool are lucky. I tell them not. What Liverpool has done this season and last season many times is because they have this incredible quality to fight until the end.

     

    That’s why I said to my players - not just my son and daughter- that it is not lucky, Sometimes at 94' against Leicester with the penalty it was like ‘wow’. Even with that, the ref and the VAR said penalty. Maybe I was wrong to think it wasn’t a penalty."

     

    This guy is really losing it.
