Liverpool thread 2019/20

I have watched it again and it's bizarre the way he goes down. There is contact but he doesn't go down in the right way, it's too late. Would he have been given the penalty if he
had stayed up?

No because it wasn't a pen,contact does not mean a pen,what does not going down the right way mean?

They were serving it at the bar...

But, I have to say, Rebecca Lowe was lovely and our contingent vocal throughout the morning.

She is tops! Fair and doesn’t get too deep into the football, even though she knows more than most men I talk to!

Palace fan, too, so can’t say anything about her being a glory hunting rag!!

We have rules to adhere too, set by the site owner, so probably best have a word there rather than "mod bash", and if you had any idea how many you NEVER see you'd be quite surprised, the ones we tolerate a bit, are the tip of the iceberg.

Fair play buddy it is totally voluntary and we do appreciate the job you all do

Thanks, if there's one thing that annoys us all, its people saying we don't do enough.

Oh Karen, just light a candle for him and save the effort!

Even the “would he have got the non-penalty if he had not dived” justification for the dive is classic red (pick your poison) delusion!!!

They can’t help themselves. It’s in their blood.

Haven’t seen it, but most probably Arlo White, who hasn’t ever found hyperbole he couldn’t exploit!

And, not for nothing, there IS a LONG-STANDING WANKFEST for Liverpool at NBC, as Liverpool has American owners and they give them access. Last season, they even had a fab day at Boston Red Sox stadium for a Liverpool game and were creaming themselves all day!!

One of the problems City face is that perennial winners (as in every domestic trophy but one for the last two seasons) creates a “meh” expectation, even amongst the pro pundits, who should all realize how fleeting it is.

The narrative is that ONLY Liverpool appear to have the squad to do it, the nostalgia for the Liverpool of yore is palpable, the fact that they have recently pulled off a few “European nights at Klanfield” and the now almost boring “City play such beautiful football” is culminating in a “let’s all hope Liverpool return to their former glory in England, especially now they’ve ‘conquered’ Europe again!”

No-one sees this as anything more than a two horse race, and, as is the English & Media mentality, fucking over the incumbent winner makes for a better story!

NOBODY loves knocking people and things down a peg or two more than the British, and the media are professionals at it!

Throw in the whole sports mentality of the underdog coming through and toppling the favorite, and it’s a match made in heaven for the 24/7/365 sports media franchises!

We will simply have to do the business (including overcoming the personal sentiment of all in the game) on the field, which will require two goal cushions...or never letting an opponent in our penalty area in the latter stages of a game...to win games and trophies this season.

Thankfully, Pep has already warned the players, and many of them can already see and feel it for themselves.

Two of the most lauded events in recent football memory were City going out to English teams in the CL, and BOTH EVENTS were shrouded in refereeing “decisions” that went one way and not the other.

In addition, the biggest game of the season so far seems to be our loss to Norwich, which NBCSN breathlessly called the biggest upset in the history of the a Premier League! Hell, the BBC is even running a video now about how the atmosphere at that game was even better than winning the Championship last season!!

We are going to have to simply live with the fact that MOST PEOPLE (anyone who doesn’t bleed sky blue) are HOPING WE FAIL TO WIN A DAMNED THING!!

We either will or will not, but one thing is certain...we are not going to get ANY HELP FROM ANYONE to win a damned thing!!

THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE CITY...in 2019!

Arlo was at West Ham

Perhaps you could tag every dipper post with a red flag so we can ignore them .haha

Aside from them being deluded i hate being flooded when they win a game,it's not my forum so i shouldn't be bothered but after 40 yrs of the club being taken the piss of it's almost a reflex to defend us
