Media thread 2022/23

[Blue Mist]

Wow, according to the Dail Fail we are about to sign Raheem Sterling from Chelsea for 45 Mill. Brilliant bit of business if true

I am sure old-school LFC fans were fed up of the media pressure put on them achieving the supposed "Impossible Quadruple" ?

Media headlines such as the "Quad Squad" and the "Class of 2022" were picked up and quoted by the social media LFC fans.

However, the vast majority of neutrals I know (now live in the North East), turned against Liverpool because of the media expectancy. Believe it or not, City are still seen by many other team's fans as being an understated club.

I much prefer City sneaking under the radar, which is admittedly getting harder. However if the Bookies make City 2nd favourites, it's ok with me.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Correct.

It’s like every player who once upon a time played for United or one of their youth teams no matter how few games he played, will always get mention as a United ex-player.

Just now on SSN Andy Goram ex Rangers and ex Manchester United has died.

I’m surprised the rest of the league aren’t up in arms at the continual squeezing of these **** and their name into every fuck news item or match report.

And SKY would'nt give a flying fuck if they did .

Thay are feeding the lemmings and fuckwis and perfectly know their target audience

They don’t, we’re odds on to win it.

Not sure why as they're fucking useless at football, nevermind F1.

Bookies can only base their odds on what went before and a crystal ball.

Perhaps when they first make their book on a market but, after that, adjustments will be balanced according to betting volume to maximise/minimise p/l respectively...
These days they literally can't lose if they want to take small profits, every time, by laying their own book and backing the same 'horse' at slightly, or sometimes hugely, bigger odds on betfair (other exchanges are available...)

 

[Norman kneejerk]

I have noticed a few of the papers, Express and MuEN for example keep using the phrase Arsenal are trying to nail down Jesus. Do they not read back what they have put.

I've just read a most uplifting article on the BBC website explaining that Salah's new contract "goes beyond football" because of his religious observances and his general niceness. It's very good of Liverpool paying him hundreds of thousands of pounds a week whether he scores goals or not, just for being good for football. I'm sure the Echo could get a good story out of this crap.

Why the muslim faith is good for Liverpool FC ?

Liverpool declares Jihad on City?

 

[Rochdale Blue]

Bookies can only base their odds on what went before and a crystal ball. They're pretty good, like the rest of us, about what went before, but we haven't a clue about how new personnel will perform. They know we have a good team, will perform well, they hope the Dippers can hang on to our coat-tails, but those also-rans from last season are gonna be unknown quantities. Pure guesswork.

And I wouldn't put it past Gabby to be neck 'n neck with Erland for the GB!

The bookies should read the papers. According to them, Newcastle, Spurs and some struggling club from Merseyside have all bagged better players than Haaland.

Last thing we need is another curse after we pissed the gypsies off at maine road

Last thing we need is another curse after we pissed the gypsies off about maine road

It's OK cos Shinawatra pissed on our corner flags bringing us eternal good luck

 

[Norbert D]

I saw some guff the other day about LFC putting Salah up for sale as they werent prepared to meet his wage demands. The usual bollox followed but the gist from their fans was fuck off Salah you greedy bastard, we are special, if all you want is money then join City blah blah blah. Now they’ve given in and paid him what he wants, basically doubling his wage and that of the next highest wage earner Dick van Dyke at £220k, he‘s back to being a hero and the club have done the right thing blah blah. of course the media are lapping it up. Just hope Dick and co started demanding more money.

In other news

"surprising scenes at the arctic as polar bears were seen celebrating the Salah contract. Apparently the contract would bring an end to global warming! Rumour has it this contract would also bring permanent peace to Gaza strip."

The same idiots said much the same when we acquired Sergio and Kevin. What were those two gonna bring to the party was often the line they peddled! Well, some talent and some fuckin' party!
