I’d start Thiago in this one.

The best part about been married is I don’t have to talk to other women anymore. With a young family, on the rare occasion I get out for a beer I want to just either sit in silence, or talk utterly banal shite with a mate. Also, cheating’s a cunts trick. Felt that way at the time when I may have had the energy to do it, and feel that way now when I definitely don’t have the energy for it.

Hope

I don’t know. Maybe there are some signs that my post may not have been entirely serious?

As Bob Shankliy once said “If you can’t support us when we draw away from home having played quite poorly but create good chances that hopefully a future competent striker can score, don’t support us when we win the league cup”.

Absolutely not. Any time a Liverpool manager is having a bad run you’d have people calling for him to step in. Similar to Bob having to ask Shanks to stop coming to training, once Klopp leaves that should be it. Of course visit for games, but no role within the club.

I’ve heard that Leeds have asked him not to leave them this way.

I’d love to hear all your views on VAR

New contracts for Trent and Virg. No new contract for Salah but tell him he's integral and we want him to stay, and if him and Arne hit it off and he gets his form back then he can either sign a new contract during the coming season, or he has absolutely earned the right to leave on a free in summer 2025 and get a big payday anywhere he wants.

Fuck off football

That was really interesting listening. Hearing the contributors upset and flip flopping between speaking from the heart and the head was mirroring my own feelings. I think it was said, but I was also harbouring that daft hope that Klopp might change his mind, but now I’m absolutely satisfied that it’s time for him to go. He clearly is beyond jaded and needs to step back. I’ve personally never subscribed to the idea he’s our greatest ever manager; that remains Bob. But he’s in that top 4 and he leaves an absolute legend. But please please please make the goodbye a big Kop mosaic and chants and singing after the last game of the season. A parade with the fucking league cup hanging off the front of the bus would look awful. The front of the bus is only for special trophies and heroic middle aged men.

When he was a player his manager would ask him where he wanted to play and he’d reply “I’ll be back”. See, doesn’t have to be all about the surname.

‘Now available on Google translate!’

I’m genuinely excited about Arne Slot. I know nothing about him, and that’s what I like. Maybe the next big thing, instead of some flavour of the week or a short term well known appointment. He’ll have a few years to try and succeed, and that’s good. We’re almost certainly going into a few ‘quiet’ years, so let’s give it a try. I’m pleased
