Sounds like he could slot right in.

BRB, just off to kill myself.

Don't blame you.

The last time I was as angry at a game was the 2-0 loss at Anfield in the 20/21 season. Similarly gutless performance- especially after the earlier Goodison game when Pickford assaulted van Dijk- in the middle of an absolute horror show of games (6 home games lost in a row, wasn't it?). I think it took us another month to get back on track. Obviously it's too late anyway, but this squad really need to step up now otherwise this season will go down in infamy.

Everyone else taking the fall for him. Dickheads.

At least it might make others think twice if he tries to pull a similar stunt.

Oh dear, that's a real shame- https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2024/apr/25/laurence-fox-ordered-to-pay-90000-pounds-to-two-people-he-called-paedophiles

Happy birthday. I was wondering why there was a worldwide candle shortage.

We actually looked most dangerous when he deigned to overlap on the right during a spell in the second half, but for a while around the 70 minute mark, he was almost playing at left back. Very odd, as was the way we didn't target Everton's left when Mykolenko was hobbling towards the end of the first half. I appreciate he's not long back from a lengthy injury, but this inverted full back tactic has to die. It doesn't help the team, and neuters Salah who was completely isolated for much of the game last night.

Did ‘Pint sized loser’ work as an attack line?

 

I think she pretty much nailed him.

Used the inevitable attacks to nail them on their complete failure of a housing policy too, although there'll no doubt be calls for a kinder politics without name-calling from the massed hypocrites in the Mail etc.

The 1968 Charge of the Light Brigade is worth a mention. It highlights the pig-headed stupidity and vicious snobishness of the aristocracy, the rigid Victorian class hierarchy and the senseless waste of life caused by a lack of professionalism in an army where your rank was generally determined by your social standing. I haven't seen it in a while and it might have dated badly, but I remember it having a bit of a swinging '60s vibe and anti-war message.

This could tempt me back into running- https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/apr/23/london-marathon-wine-guy-on-how-he-sampled-25-wines-during-race

Feyenord won’t let him slot right in…

We'll spend the next 3 months trying to get him on the cheap and then end up with Frank, won't we?

Can't wait until this wet lettuce buggers off and we can get a charismatic, inspirational manager.

Nice one.

It amazes me how Juergen has kept going with all the adversity constantly thrown at him throughout his managerial career. At Dortmund he was up against a club that regularly nicked his best players off him. Here, he's been up against the oil cheats, and even then, lots of other shit along the way. Divock on fire? - along comes Funes Mori to break his ankle. Sakho - heroic on the Europa run, along comes a dope charge which puts him out of the final, but eventually just disappears (we end up with Kolo Toure in defence). Pandemic comes along - first title in 30 years and we can't even celebrate with the team, Alisson loses his Dad in a drowning accident, Klopp can't get to his Mum's funeral. The Diaz kidnapping! The one season we're relatively unaffected by injuries, we won the fucking thing. 

Small wonder he needs a break. But what a fantastic 9 years it's been. Will we ever see such a perfect fit between manager and club again?

 

He's a fucking jinx...

I was going to put down Travis, but I can't think of anything good they've done.

Just wait until the differential equations come out.

If the frame is 2/100the of a second one must double the distance from 4-6 inches to 8-12 inches. I.e. Frame from when the foot is in contact with the ball, next frame 2/100 sec later the distance between the players could be app 10 inches.

I'm probably overthinking it, I thought if frames are captured at 0.02, 0.04 and 0.06 of a second etc, then the worst that could happen is that the contact is made at 0.03, 0.05, 0.07 etc, so 1/100th of a second out. That would depend on the VAR actually picking the closest frame though, so if the contact is at 0.035, he would have to pick 0.4 and not 0.02. I think that's probably beyond them though... Anyway, if these figures on FPS and ball and player speeds are correct, then it's obvious they can't measure to the distances they are claiming.

I believe the Hawkeye cameras used for goal line technology have a much higher shutter speed of over 300 fps so I don't think there's a problem there otherwise they wouldn't be using them in other sports.

Mr Google tells me it is 30fps. In the good old days we’d just have said “level”.

Says it's 50 fps here- https://www.premierleague.com/news/1488423

So a frame every 2/100ths of a second and the possible margin of error would be 4-6 inches as @JustTosh outlined above if the chosen frame isn't exactly at the point of contact. So unless they're using much higher speed cameras to capture the offsides, then what they're doing is a load of bollocks.
