Our thread and Newcastles on RAWK is a great read. On the Newcastle thread, a few of them are giving up on football. Poor bastards chose the easy option when they were kids and supported a successful team, but they are jumping ship now.
Yep - not exactly Mentality Monsters

These cunts don't understand what being a real fan is about

City fans that have stayed committed through decades of yo-yoing are proper fans
 
They are in deep shit, and won't make the top 4 this season.

Van Dijk has lost a step, maybe 4 actually and he's not getting any younger. Seems like he genuinely cannot be arsed tracking back. Alexander-Arnold is just a shambles these days. Every single media outlet from Sky, BT, to Match of the Day have highlighted the issues on their right hand side due to him drifting too high up the pitch and inside leaving gaps, he got caught out after 58 seconds yesterday and the second came from that side as well.

Thiago also looks finished, when he's not on the treatment table. Doesn't track back or cover their full backs at all. His forward passing isn't as pin point as there's a disconnect in front of him. Henderson's legs appear to have gone, he surely isn't covering the same ground he once did.

Salah looks happy now he's sorted out a long term contract, but is ineffective most of time and as for Nunez, well - that's been done to death, nowhere near what they paid.

Klopp is also beginning to crack. There are comparisons to how he left Dortmund after the 7 year period - a squad completely knackered and no longer able to buy into his philosophy of run yourself into the ground.

Yesterday highlighted just how good Pep is. He's won the trophies that matter on multiple occasions and got the better of this Klopp side over the last 4 or 5 years. It's been proven that controlling games and having the ability to rotate is a more viable long term strategy than burning players out before they are 30...

I for one, cannot wait until next Sunday at Anfield.

Nor me!
I predict a riot...
 
Boohoo, "Football's pointless now we're shit"
It's not that Liverpool are great but are going through a mediocre patch, they're a mediocre team that went through a good patch (and still came second)
Rags have been saying this for a few years now. My brother in law said a couple of years ago, that footballs not the same anymore. No shit sherlock. We may have just broken them (or Klopp has) this season. Just Chelsea to go.

It is only October.
 
Just shows how deluded and self obsessed they are, Liverpool can’t win the league now so stop watching, like no other team has got fans who still love football
It's disrespectful to the City, Arsenal and the rest of the league to assume because they are not in a title race there is nothing left to play for and they should pack it all in. They see themselves as the heroes and they will never forgive us, and to a lesser extent Real Madrid, for restricting their golden season to a cup double. All while being ring leaders for a Super League that rewards historical circumstance over on the field competition.
 
One (alleged) journalist "understands" Haaland is on a massive wage and they believe it without question but when every media outlet around the world said he cost £50 million it was a cover up?
Is he sure the truth is starting to come out or is it just the narrative he prefers that is emergingView attachment 57873?
But also why wouldn't he be on a massive wage? He's one of the world's best players. And he's earning it, unlike most of their players at the moment.

Great read - but I can wait until next Sunday. Dread it.
 
Wont be the first time a confrontation involving Arsenal players in particular has been to the FA, Twitter and the Twatterati are doing what they do best here.
Unfortunately that is te state of society white on non white must be racism.
 
Thought I was missing something. I hate Liverpool as the next man. But Henderson seems a decent bloke in all fairness. I hope he’s not slaughtered wrongly..
What was this about?

The tweet that was posted is 'unavailable'

A couple of scousers I know talk about their “dark times” during the 1990s.

They wouldn’t know hardship as a fan if it bit them in the arse.

It's all noise at the moment, and the usual culture warriors on all sides are getting stuck in.

All we know is that Gabriel was clearly upset by something Henderson said, the ref reported it to the managers, and that has now been reported to the FA who are investigating. The assumption is Gabriel thinks he heard something racist in nature, but the microphones didn't pick it up. So everyone is going off photographs and video of the footage. We will know when there has been an investigation.
 
The reason that I think that it will be a long time away for us is that we seem to have an approach that is different to the 'istree teams - we carry on investing when we are at the top
So did Chelsea and the rags, Liverpool spent a pile in the 90s as well, we'll fuck it up sooner or later, let's just enjoy it while it lasts.


Yep, until the rags left them in the dust, they were matching their spending pound for pound. When the rags broke the British transfer record for Andy Cole, the dippers responded by breaking it again with Stan Collymore 6 months later. And that single example illustrates why they won fuck all. Not because they spent less, because they spent badly.
I am talking about these decades though

The rags have invested massively - but that was Woodward who knows fuck all about football - and the Scouse have not invested whilst doing well

And you mention:

"Eventually we'll spend badly too. Txiki won't be here forever........."

Thats is why I said:

"As long as we have the management with the attitudes of the current execs then I think that we are safe - I hope we are as careful about the recruitment of their replacements as we are of key players."
 
Funny old game isn’t it?

It wasn’t long ago they had the best keeper in the world, the best sub keeper in the world, the best full backs in the world, the best centre back in the world, the best forward line in the world, the best player in the world, the best manager in the world and the best fans in the world.

What happened?
 
Footballers do this all the time, people are taking the word of a no mark twitter chump as proof?

Unfortunately that is te state of society white on non white must be racism.

I think we can work out from the very angry reaction of the players - not just Gabriel who has the words spoken to him - but of Xhaka and the other Arsenal players that this was not just a run of the mill insult.

Then there’s the fact the referee felt the need to go over to the managers and explain what had happened.

Then there’s the fact PGMOL have referred it to the FA which means it must be a serious accusation.


There’s really only one kind of thing that generates these kind of responses.


I doubt there will ever be any proof of what happened though. It’s one man’s word against another’s. The referee wasn’t near enough for his microphone to pick it up, nor were they near the sideline microphones.
