We should merge all the slot right in and machine gags with the Darwin evolution puns into one monster thread.

That is one very clean keyboard. Highly commendable.

And heads of our enemies.

And overall, without Klopp leaving, this would have gone down as a good season. Start of a very promising restructuring process, eventually good transfer window after all the crazy stuff, finishing third, promoting two more young players straight to first team, a trophy, some setbacks in the cup and the Europa but not before March and April. 

Title challenge. Which we apparently cannot handle, on more than one level.

That's interesting about Klopp tired or not arsed, because up until recently I had a feeling he was managing the shit out of us this season, turning things around constantly with halftime talks (I remember when we struggled to influence the game from the bench and looked like to be just plan A team) improving and motivating and overachieving and almost having his best season at Liverpool and then... boom. It has all stopped about a month ago.

Ideally we'd replace about five or six players in the summer.

 

I'd sell/release Adrian, Thaigo, Matip, Salah and Tsimikas.

 

I'd bring in any homegrown GK, a proper number six, a centreback, a left back and two forwards.

 

The defenders I'd bring in would both be from Fulham.

Tosin Adarabioyo and Antonee Robinson.

Both are home grown, and Adarabioyo is on a free.

Robinson looks ready to take over from Robertson. 

 

I have no ideas on the six or the forwards though. 

 

It wouldn't surprise me if we were to go for someone like Matheus Cunha or another Fulham player in Rodrigo Muniz.

 

Muniz for Nunez and Robinson for Robertson? What's next, Hendo for Endo?

Great recommendation, we all need cheering up right now.

No.  I was making the point that The Winner Takes It All was written by a man going through a divorce and his wife actually sung it.  It’s not like Taylor Swift writing about that twat from the 1975. 

I was mostly reacting to Vlad, And what you said doesn't make it a great song, just an interesting context.

I don't know anything about Taylor Swift, but I guess she is now also considered great, and if she isn't, she probably will be around 2046.

I think having Diaz and Nunez in the same team may be too much.

People's opinions on these things are going to vary. One person might think Abba have great lyrics and you might think they're shite.

 

Nobody is necessarily correct.

True. But that was not the point of my first post. It was about how status changes over time.

Oh, so now Abba are great lyricists as well.

He has a big head though.

If he'd have fought for more transfer funds as hard as he did for his hair, wed have had a few more leagues and european cups to go and visit now.

I bet he looks at it in the mirror every day and gives it three quick fist pumps.

Its good for us that they beat Forrest at the weekend, they will not be as desperate now. 

And there should be one pen against them in here, after Forest.

At least he comes across as another good, natural communicator.

We can move him to press office if he fails at football.

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

How much is Frank?

Isn't Klopp basically a baldy as well?

I've been closely following his career since yesterday afternoon and I'm all in.

The Bridge is a stark and direct tale of suicide, written when such things weren't spoken about.

 

There's a good argument that 9 to 5 is the greatest protest song ever written.

There is probably a good argument that it isn't.

EDIT :Sorry replying to wrong post - this refers to the comment on the ABBA song - in the case of that particular song, you could argue it’s quite country in its outlook in that it was written by one half of a real life divorcing couple and sung by the other half.  Looked at in that context, it’s actually quite powerful.  

I'm sure there is a great story behind Chiguitita which also makes it quite powerful. Or Waterloo, with it's history book on the shelf always repeating itself poignant message.

I think they're both shite but I can understand why people listen to older stuff, even stuff that was considered fairly mediocre (by some) at the time. Both Abba and Dolly Parton also benefit from being marketed much better than some of their contempories. Parton is sound and has big tits. Abba...no, no fucking idea.

 

But you turn on the radio now and are greated by Trap or Reggaeton so it's hardly surprising when some young people listen to a middle of the road country/rock/whatever song and are amazed to hear someone singing, or playing a chord.

I guess, also, technology changed things a bit. And since music industry finally managed to eat itself  people realized that it appears it was actually needed, at least in some form. Same would have happened with books if easy self-publishing became the norm and shifted the power dynamics, as in beware of what you wish for. Fortunately, it didn't.

But, that is all a different conversation.

I (still) listen to a lot of country. Never cared for Dolly Parton. In recent years she has for some reason been promoted from a joke to an acceptable face of what you are supposed to hate, country and rednecks.

BTW, what great songs has she written, except those three everyone now seems to (or is supposed to) think are great?

On Abba, please. Winner takes it all, loser standing small.

If some recruiter is looking for motivational speakers for Dignitas, quite a lot of talent to be found on here.

Arsenal were beaten at home by Villa. It was very unlikely they would drop points again in the next home game.
