Liverpool Thread - 2023/24

They’ll be bombarding the Times calling for him to be sacked or wanting a full apology in fact make that both ..

To be fair - Liverpool fans being offended, and Giles Coren being sacked is one of the best Buy One Get One Free offers I can think of.

Jota out for 'months' by all accounts.

So that’s probably 2 games then ..

Rafael van der Vaart: "Ajax have brought in players with zero quality. The club will now have to see out the rest of the season. They have brought in Jordan Henderson. All he does is to play a little pass out wide, or a little pass back, but nobody will be happy with that."
"As an Ajax man my heart bleeds. I don't know what I can say about them any more."

They're fucked without Jota - he's really underrated - like us losing Bernardo.

 

[Toffeedude]

watching Sky Sports News you would think they are the only team ever to get a player injured. Sky are right up their arse.

They also had a 5 min slot about the next Liverpool manager and said that whoever takes over not only has to manage the team but also has to compete against teams that they cannot match financially. Oh do Fuck Off! I know reds who believe this crap that they never spend any money.

Unfinished business.

Unbelievable looking back that he managed them. They we’re fucking horrible to him too.

...the ferals were in Maine Road to witness a perfectly observed minutes silence for one of the most hated men in City's history.

I did a silent head count that afternoon, out of respect for all the honest accounting under his watch.

I’ll get pelters, but I genuinely like Giles Coren, and have for over a decade. My ex-wife really fancied him, and my current girlfriend really likes him, especially since he reviewed a pub we regularly dine in. Which is fucking brilliant btw.

The Woolpack restaurant review: ‘The most beautiful view you will ever see from a pub’

I had always been scared to go to the Woolpack in Slad. I worried that my visit would feel inauthentic, if not to those inside, then at least to me. I worried o

And he’s right about the views. And the food is fucking mint.

I know people don’t like him, and I get why they don’t; he’s a bit of a posh ****, but it doesn’t bother me one bit if someone is, as long as they are alright. I think he’s likeable, clever, funny and…alright.

Don’t slaughter me for being thick but who is he and why are you mentioning him on this thread?
It’s been a long day so apologies in advance. :-)

He recently did an article about scouse psychology/disposition/culture (in no particular order).

Wasn’t especially well-received on Merseyside.

Go back a few pages if you can be arsed.

I quite liked him in the food series he did about eating habits through the decades, the man is an animal and must have damaged his insides eating the shit he consumed.

Fame makes people do funny shit!

I think my attitude towards him is informed by his dad, who I always liked, and his sister, who I both like and fancy.

I’d definitely go for a pint with him. Plenty of famous cunts I wouldn’t waste that time on.

Fucking hell, I just looked at the league table. They're 6th, which is already bad. But then they're on 36 points to the league leaders' 62.

But what did anyone expect? Pirlo-level passing from Jordan Henderson? All he's ever done is play it simple and press hard. And now he's too old to do one of those. And left his inhaler in Liverpool.

I think people don't like him because he's a racist ****, not because he's a posh ****. Evidenced by the fact that everyone likes his sister, who is equally posh.

Has the exact opposite effect on Southgate.

I think it’s probably both. Assuming he’s verifiably racist. Genuinely not seen anything personally to suggest he is, but I don’t spend my life checking.

Neither had I (genuinely didn't know who he was), but I remember people mentioning a while back during a controversy that Christmas dinner round Victoria Coren-Mitchell's place might be a bit awkward this year, so I just searched him and the 'controversies' section of his Wikipedia page is longer than his career. Seems like the type to deliberately write provocative things to try and get a reaction. Hence why Liverpool is an obvious target.

Seriously? Who the fuck has that discussion?
