[The Future’s Blue!]

He's saying we've been targeted by the other clubs. What's wrong with that? We have..


“We knew the Etihad-City deal was big at the time. So many other deals have happened in the meantime. Other clubs are asking, is this right?

“But we’re looking at this retrospectively in light of new rules, and it is always difficult to make that retrospective fit work.

“Newcastle are probably now worried that they are going to get tarred with the same brush as City because of their wealth.

“But we have previous to go off now and we know what rival clubs don’t want is a repeat of the City situation, i.e another challenge at the top of the table.”

Is this yet another story where the click-bait title doesn’t match the article?

Newcastle will be targeted because they are another threat to the share of the money in the trough. Pure and simple.

That’s funny because….

As per a new interview by the Athletic's George Caulkin, Newcastle United director Amanda Staveley and co-owner Mehrdad Ghodoussi have revealed their experience of a recent visit to Manchester City’s state-of-the-art training facilities.

“Just talk to them and see their training facilities, to see what we can do”, Staveley revealed as the objective of the visit.

You’d think a clever man like Dan would stay well clear of the ‘Footballer Insider’(arf!) and it’s tittle-tattle article.

Footballer Insider is the problem me thinks.... :)

It is.

He should have told them to f* k off when they approached him.

"In being receptive to new ideas and using specialist knowledge, Klopp has created a culture of continual improvement...Klopp’s relentless pursuit of improvement and success sets an example that runs throughout Liverpool."

We simply have to win the title.

We’ve just seen a cup final won because an onside looking goal was disallowed. It’s not surprising, then, that the BBC has a prominent story about a recent refereeing controversy on its website site… but what is mind-boggling is that it’s picked a story about our game to stir things up.

One of the Custis cronies (not sure if Neil or Shaun) on talksport tonight was fairly balanced about us.

Said something along the lines that we had more than our fair share of bad decisions going against us.

I nearly crashed the car!

There really is something not right about Shearer, seriously, but I can't put my finger on it.

He needs some antihistamine,

How he sees out of those eyes!

"Outside the building, there is already some talk about Liverpool's quadruple chances this season - but there won't be anyone speaking about that inside the club," said BBC football expert Lawro.

I do wonder if the tide is very slowly turning, listening to Talk Shite this morning around 5.30 (Paul coit?) they were seriously talking about Pep being the best football coach ever! although I was half asleep at the time so I might have heard it wrong.

I’m very concerned about the blues who are still listening to Gutterbrush FM. I sacked it off in Feb 2020 and I’ve never felt calmer about football.

 

[Burnage Burnsy]

Amazing how the myth about us getting favourable decisions is being pushed by the media the week before the derby eh?

 

[Norbiton]

Jonathan Liew article: only now is football beginning to wake up to the stench of its money. And not a single mention of us. Not one! What the heck is going on? I feel hurt and ignored.

I found that so unlikely that I actually read The Guardian (for the first time for a long while) and damned if you're not correct. I kept looking for the odd little sly dig but it seems he's forgotten all about us. At least now we know what it takes...

Won’t make any difference when you have Oliver in charge for the Derby! A bent rag twat who can’t wait to blow for a pen against us but refuse to even entertain a cast iron pen for us.

Just got to do what we did in the last derby keep them out of our pen area.

Just out of interest, what do you listen to now?

Weird to talk up a quadruple, when amongst other reasons, they're not even top of the league. Their delusion truly knows no bounds.

Ffs, just watching SSN, talking about the Ownership of Chelsea and this smarmy young tosser called Ben Peppi who is apparently a “Sports branding expert” comes on and says “the flip side of that is the ownership of Newcastle, Manchester City”. The media attack on us is non stop, disgraceful. Just looked him up, he’s a rag, quelle surprise.
