If Xabi is off the cards, I’m all in on the ABDZ hand - anyone but De Zerbi. Just don’t see him doing anything for us. I didn’t mind him for us, but he reminds me of Brendan Rodgers when he joined us. Seems stubbornly wedded to an easy on the eye style of play, but doesn’t have the tactical nous to change if that style is causing the team to be open and leaking goals. And, like Rodgers, he’d be coming because he got a smaller team to play some decent stuff, but without any real record of winning stuff. Which is needed to justify getting the Liverpool job. Just look at two recent managers who came to us whose CV didn’t have recent honours recorded on it. Hodgson and Rodgers. One was a complete disaster. The other ultimately turned out to just not be quite good enough. Then Klopp came in. That broke the recent mould. We need another appointment like that. A manager who’s won something recently. Or who looks like they’re more than a flash in the pan like De Zerbi does. I’d sooner have someone who gets the team playing uglier football but can be a bit more savvy if there’s signs that it’s not working or if the team is getting humped. I’d genuinely sooner have someone like Nagelsmann, Maresca, Slot, Spaletti, Flick or even Gerrard or Mourinho over RDZ.

Gareth Barry it is then.

Such inhumane barbarity. It never ends.

Okay, this looks fairly fucking awful.

You’d have thought that Fox would be happy that they fucked up on the paperwork. He won’t suffer the embarrassment of his inevitably shite voting figures and he’ll have a spare £10k to pay to the people he’s defamed/Billie and the kids/whoever is next to sue him.

The FA’s statement gives a date range for Tonali’s alleged breaches. They allegedly commenced on 12th August 2023. Newcastle beat Aston Villa 5-1 on this day. Tonali was subbed off in second half injury time. During which, the below happened. Hmmmmmm…

Just have a good brisk walk and buy some resistance bands/tubes for at home. People have mentioned the mental health and social side of the gym. But, they’re largely full of posing biffs or women who only do glute exercises and film themselves doing so for their Insta. I’d rather stay at home. On the topic of walking, I’ve just boxed off the equivalent of three marathons in March and that’s without walking every day and only counting planned walks and not counting everyday life walks to the shop, round town, out with mates/family etc.

Nice work.

Awful penalty. James didn’t look confident. Did Ward go to his right for all of the penalties too?

Great capture of Rodri’s penalty. Haha!

You'd have thought that they would have learnt after the ridiculously over the top hyping of Januzaj, who turned out to be remarkably average.

International football can go and fuck itself. It was alright while a few of City’s players were picking up knocks, but it’s shite now!

Could be. You’d imagine there’s going to be an inquiry. It’s difficult to think anything other than some form of human error/negligence though.

This mightn’t be far from the truth. The Guardian are reporting that the vessel involved has apparently been involved in another collision incident in Belgium with it scraping the quay wall while leaving port and causing metres of damage to the ship’s hull, with the incident being blamed on the ship’s master and the pilot on board.

That footage is crazy. Just how the fuck has he missed that big bridge right in front of him?

I hope someone smacks the little cunt.

To be fair to him, Yakubu might be talking utter shite because his critical thinking skills and general mental sharpness could be on the decline. It happens to some people when they’re in their late sixties.

It’s a bit strange that a certain person involved in a numbers and letters themed game show who takes pride in holding herself out as an advocate of women’s rights and female empowerment hasn’t appeared to say anything about the current plight of women in Gaza as a result of Israeli violence. I'm not saying anything but people are free to draw whatever inferences they want to from the fact that she doesn’t seem fussed about championing the rights of, or calling out brutal violence against, women of a certain ethnicity when committed by people of a different ethnicity.

“They voted for Hamas though so it’s their own fault.” Or some other sociopathic, crazy nonsensical statement.

One of the legal firms involved (Bingham Long) has said that their clients will receive 100% of the settlement figure and that they won’t be taking any deductions/costs etc from this sum.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Putin looks at stuff like this and tries to blame the attack on the west, giving him a pretext for a wider conflict. He’s got form, allegedly, with the 1999 apartment bombings.

Kicking off in Moscow. A shooting and what appears to be a fire in a concert hall.
