It's always good to start the morning in work with a laugh.

Well if we’re just gonna make shit up lol
 
Was listening to TalkSPORT (I know, I know) on my way home from work last night and Danny Kelly was discussing the proposed kick in instead of throw in by Wenger.

He mentioned that Liverpool were the foremost proponents of the passback to the keeper during their period of domestic dominance and it made me curious about when the passback rule was changed to when the keeper was no longer allowed to pick it up.

Having played a lot of football in my younger years I thought the rule may have been introduced in the 80’s. I was surprised that the rule was brought in for the European Championship in 1992 and implemented in the Premier League’s inaugural year.

One top division title since the passback laws were changed. They‘ve really just become an above average cup team.
Steve McMahon was an absolute master at it.
 
Article on bbc.
Liverpool transfers
2 players out, 3 players in
Out:
Minamino £16m (but only £13m upfront)
Mane £35m (but only £27m upfront)
In:
Nunez £64m (but only the initial amount) £85m
Carvalho £5m (but only the initial amount) £8m
Ramsey £4m (but only the initial amount) £7m

Net spend trophy warriors see £22m outflow
If flipped and done on city terms £60m outflow

The optics are starkly different
Operation Net Spend in full throttle lah

You forgot to include their wages and agents fees and loyalty bonuses for incomings

Remember, Haaland is going to cost £300mil

I know I dont follow European football that much but I have heard of Haaland and Mbappe. I had never heard of Diaz and Nunze until they signed for the dippers.
It's odd that these four footballers all play to the same standards yet two have passed me by.
 
Mane going, Big loss to them.. Happy to see the back of him

Bayern will be stronger no doubt next season

They were absolutely numbing with it. Hanson to Lawrenson to someone in midfield, back again then back to Grobelaar. In sure they were the reason for the rule change for the whole sport
