  1. This is the kind of shite that the Rule Brittania Middle Ingerlund "British fair play" gobshites would mock the Italians for. The same country that had Collina and relegated Juve for corruption. City are a great side, but like Ferguson's Mancs they will get all the marginal decisions.
  2. Same with me last night. Kostas first off the bench for me. He was saying as well his grandfather was at the Red Mancs in the 60s or 70s and small injuries stopped him breaking through - the type of injuries that Ferguson has been picking up. I think it was the type of injuries that if aren't managed in the late teens will lead to ongoing issues. Shows you how much research these clubs do. Brighton are probably better able to manage someone like Ferguson than most because they'll finish anywhere from 6th-9th imo. Not chasing trophies and not in the relegation dogfight. I wonder with Owen and Fowler if they were better managed would they have had longer careers like say Shearer.
  3. I listened to the Brighton chairman on the radio a few weeks ago talking about Ferguson. Basically said that they will manage his minutes because he is going to be a huge investment for them in the years ahead. Very well run club I must say.
  4. I think Ferguson will be an outstanding player- serious Alan Shearer vibes off him, but he's just gone 19 and I think he would be better served having another year or two at Brighton. An agreement to sign him in 2025 with Brighton next summer and loan him out for the year could be a shrewd move though. He seems like a level headed lad, but the expectations of playing here may be too much right now. I heard Shearer saying that was why Blackburn was perfect for him rather than joining one of the bigger clubs. I think Watkins is really good as well. Ferguson has a far higher ceiling, but right now, Watkins is the better player imo. Bowen is top class. I think he is definitely good enough to play in a title chasing side. If we sold Mo, we could get him and maybe have a bit of change left over. I like a good few lads at Brighton, Villa and West Ham to be honest. That Kudus is very good and I really like Paqueta. McGinn is a very good player too. No point talking about Livramento because he ain't coming here. He'll be part of a Newcastle title chasing team in a few years unfortulately. Excellent prospect. Ideally we get a top young centre half this summer though - well ideally in January.
  5. I'd be happy if the next generation played it rather than being hung up on teams. The likes of me came of age in a different era, but whereas back then the owners were very wealthy, now they are billionaires, whereas back then the players were very comfortable, now they live a different life. The players were accessible. I love Jurgen and to be fair our players seem like a good bunch, but the poverty around Anfield is so striking. All around the country it's the same. I lose sleep thinking of us but that's just force of habit and civic pride in our great club representing the city I love. If I was 18 now, I do think I'd be a Liverpool fan, but without going to the games every week - including going to Goodison the weeks we were playing too far away from home, and being in big groups with mates and having a laugh, hard to see where the passion comes from. Especially when our next owners are probably sportswashing bastards from the middle east.
  6. Right, here's a challenge for you all. Given how the Mancs love to feed us every Christmas, I think it's only right that we return the charity to them. Pick two players from the 80s team and two from the 90s (at their current age) to go 7 currrent players for the Manc game on Sunday. A lot of our 80s stalwarts played in the 90s so they can count in either era. It might make it more of a contest and it would be interesting seeing what teams we get. I really like Nunez but I can tell you Rushy is one of my wild card picks. Even at 61 or 62, I reckon he could score two on Sunday.
  7. Proper aways there but would probably prefer to avoid Galatasaray. Nice jaunts to nearby countries would be easier on the lads. Sorry, had it in my head that Villa were in the Europa. Good news they aren't.
  8. A Liverpool - AC Milan final would be great. Anyhow, we need to earn our place there. We're the most talented by a distance and Dublin will be like Anfield West if we get there, but plenty of teams still involved that can hurt us. Fuck Newcastle. Never got the whole so called solidarity with them. I always found them full of agro, although I did like them under Keegan and felt it would have been romantic if they won the league then, especially for that old boy who used to be at the games. Fuck them now though and good news we have one less "derby" in Europe to think about come February when we are hopefully in a real title race.
  9. The only English team I wouldn't mind meeting in the final is Brighton. They wouldn't bring a massive following like say possibly Newcastle, Villa or West Ham. There could be aggro with any of those three and while Dublin would be mental anyway, we want it to be nice mental. Ideally, we get a German team. Proper fans generally and could be a good laugh.
  10. Maguire because he's a fucking oompa loompa and Shaw and Fernandes because they are snides (especially Fernandes) are good to not be playing - if we were more than two up, they would resort to hurting our lads. Wouldn't be much fun missing two or three for Arsenal. McTomminay is always a snide who gets away with a lot so he is one to watch. Got to be honest and in a way it's hillarious. He is by far their best player and my sense is that he is the most un-Ten Haag player ever. It shows you that Ten Haag hasn't been able to implement his footballing culture at all. As much as I'd love to anhilate them, I'd take 3 points and no injuries and march on for the Arsenal game. As low as the blueshite have been, I always was the same and Prickford's assault on Virgil shows how these games can massively impact and derail a season through injuries.
  11. I know City won, but in the years we lost the league by a point, today would have been a day they blitzed Luton and ate into the goal difference.
  12. He's a good manager Dyche in fairness. Makes someone like Ten Haag look like a gobshite. Came in, kept them up. This season has them getting good results.
  13. I am available to play as well. I can play in any position. No job too big no job too small.
  14. Few points from tonight: Dyche is a very decent manager. He will do well for the Blueshite. Bowen is terrific. In fact, West Ham have a few players I like. Spurs are maybe the second most unlikeable bunch of players after United in the league. I mean City have a few absolute twats but you can somewhat accept them because they are winners. Arteta is probably the least likeable manager in the league with Howe not too far behind - I'd actually have Ten Haag as being a bigger twat than Pep because he seems a complete weapon to take the bronze. Actually twat eleven would be a good threat for Stig to start.
  15. City just about won there too. We just need to pick up three points at these places, so if we do drop points at say a Villa, it isn't too damaging. Palace is always a potential doghouse for us, but they seem to be missing a few. Just pick up the three points and get ready for a festive stuffing of the Mancs next week. I didn't see the game but seems like plenty to be happy about. Such a pity about Joel. Huge loss for the season.
  16. So you're the mythical man my wife's friends talk about (my wife is very satisfied with her lot) Jimmy!
  17. Arsenal can win the league this year, but so can we. I wouldn't rule them out. The next two games are crucial. Has to be 6 points. Build momentum going into the Mancs and Arsenal. Think Palace are missing quite a few for the weekend, so what might have been an awkward one simply has to be a routine three points. Sheffield are shite but tonight shows that if you're not on it, you can fuck up. Think we have had the hardest start to the season so that should stand to us in the second half of the season.
  18. Actually spat my tea out reading that! We laugh at Ole but the fucker was a genius. He knew how to keep the media onside through turbulent times. I mean being mates with Ferdinand nd Neville worked for him, but regardless he knew how to keep them on board, give the fans their Manc soundbites and keep the players' egos massaged.
  19. Kelleher is potentially very good, but I thought he was really poor on Sunday. I think part of it is a lack of game time and some part of it is a lack of belief in himself - big differnce being seen as the boss number two and then having to deal with the pressure of stepping into Ali's shoes in a title race season. I actually have sympathy for him in that sense because every little thing he does wrong is exaggerated "Ali would never do that" etc. A few months ago, it was "Queef is boss" but now the knives are sharpened because every game could decide a title. My mate was a brilliant goalie. He reckons he has the tools to be really good, but he needs game time to develop. Part of that is having a shit game and dealing with that. We will learn a lot about him in the next two games - he has the tools and the raw talent but has he got he cajones? Sheffield United are shite but they will have seen that he was bullied in the box against Fulham. Let's see how he deals with their grocks before it's an issue and Carra and his great mate Manc Nev turn it into an even bigger issue before Palace and then even the non-religious are lighting candles for Ali's return shitting it about us playing lower mid table standard dross like United, let alone Arsenal. If he comes through it, we can really say he is potentially more than a boss number two.
  20. Hughes might be fourth to be fair. Hyypia was brilliant. I don't know would he look even more brilliant beside better players and to be fair to Matip, he has played with exceptional players and in an exceptional team which Sami didn't. Hard one to call that. Still Matip needs to get a bit of love. Phenomenal player for us.
  21. Hopefully Newcastle don't come third. If we got to the final in Dublin and played them (obviously it will be fucking Seville), they would bring huge numbers and despite their reputation, they can be very twattish.
  22. Love Big Bird. An absolutely brilliant player for us. If he stays fit and Virgil continues to look his old self, we have a real chance of winning the league. Hansen, Lawro and Virgil are the three best I've seen for us, but Joel is possibly fourth.
  23. Michelle vs Anubis with his whip. Fuck Fury vs Usyk, that's the pay per view I want.
  24. They hate the Irish every bit as much. Maybe the Irish and West Indians have got taken off top spot by the "Pakis" (anyone brown is a Paki or anyone who is muslim, to these fucking knobheads) recently, but middle England's hatred of the Irish comes out in how they treat people from Liverpool. You can have a pop at a Scouser because we're fair game. Anyhow, the Dublin scals are fucking nuts. Love Dublin but it's a proper mad place in parts. Step away from the tourist core and it's seriously tough. Obviously mad wealth there too. Ended up drinking around the Liberties with the wife last time we were there. The Kinahans are from around that area. The people were great and definitely 60-65% were Reds and I personally had a great time, but got the vibe that if you acted the gobshite, you would be dealt with pretty fast. A bit like a rough bar in Liverpool to be fair. Still much preferred it to Temple Bar which was packed with Cockney 'ard men and Yank lads acting like they had done five tours in Benghazi. Hope those poor people stabbed are okay and thinking of the poor migrants who are in for a very rough night. Also, the police, firemen and nurses who have enough to be dealing with.
