That's a great post, it hit me hard with so many truths, from now on I'm a red!!
I'm off to buy my St Liverpool top, fuck you City.
Standard Charter all the way.
This is what they are missing - and would cause them to utterly implodeBitter, deluded and soon to be irrelevant. Scouse Bastards
tbf, the accountant was a Chelsea fan.Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't there also some clever accounting to write off ~50m towards training ground infrastructure costs that didn't happen until years later - which coincidentally offset the 50m they would've outspent their FFP budget by?
Yep - he has been getting pelters on RAWK - for not being biased enoughScouse twat Carragher embarrassing himself
How’s that giving us credit, the lying fucking ****?Going in the Media thread as well.
It's lying machine, just to appease their deluded fan base. The narrative continuous unbaited.

Manchester City’s squad depth and finances have certainly provided them a big advantage in the title race, as injuries and COVID cases have plagued Liverpool and the rest of the Premier League.
The 50-year-old said: “I have to give Manchester City credit… in these COVID times – whereby you could lose three players, five players, six players – they’re just well covered.”
As I recall that was the famous £50 million hole dug in Stanley ParkSomebody correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't there also some clever accounting to write off ~50m towards training ground infrastructure costs that didn't happen until years later - which coincidentally offset the 50m they would've outspent their FFP budget by?
Exactly.How’s that giving us credit, the lying fucking ****?
It will sit proudly next to the “enough points to win it most years” cup.Will they win the net spend trophy this year again?
They desperately seek all sorts of bollocks to dress up the simple fact that - all they really want is things to be skewed in their favour, because............This RAWK insanity is a small clip from a long rambling post about VAR.
With all the money and prestige involved there could be any number of different actors trying to exploit the holes in the system; gambling syndicates, individuals within the game, clubs, states, agencies, investors. Some of them will obviously try.
I am not saying that, for instance, Man Citiy are actually involved in corruption when it comes to directly influencing the outcomes of specific matches. However with regimes such as the Saudis, the Quataries, Abu Dhabi and the russian mafia for that matter, where the actual club owners are kidnapping their own daugthers, putting wives in housearrest, chopping up journalists into pieces, "sentencing the killers" to life in prison (while the threshold for death penalty is appalingly low) and then actually providing them with a life of luxury, kidnapping or buying small boys to train as jockeys for their horse racing obsession, killing quite a few in the process and literally starve thousands of people to death, WHY WOULD ANYONE THINK THAT THEY WOULD NOT CHEAT IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE TO GET WHAT THEY WANT??? It's not like they have ever shown an ounce of moral or ethical behaviour in any other aspect of life? We also know that they're already cheating on the financial side of the game.
It's not like I think they would just phone up Anthony Taylor and ask him how much to make sure City win. But would I be surprised if the Saudis knew everything Tierney downloaded or watched on his computer? Would I be surprised if the Quataris somehow had created an "asian gambling syndicate" that apparently tried to brieb people for their own "fiancial" gain? ...etc....
To be clear, I am NOT saying that any of this is actually happening as we speak. What I am saying is that, in my view, there's no doubt that there will be actors with the will and the means to make this happen if it is possible and that because of the way the game is run, the back door most certainly is unlocked.
And until the people in charge of the game actually makes an effort to lock that door, I don't think that it is unreasonable, in face of a mountain of really questionable incidents within the game, to question the integrity of those involved.
It's difficult to grasp this mindset, it's simply beyond me, how does a guy like this navigate his daily life?
Agreed - If only to get that 'monkey off our backs'It would be nice to win it once though.
It would be nice to win it once though.
Spot on. In both cases.Agreed - If only to get that 'monkey off our backs'
Losing means more to themI know it's really sad but I've just been on RAWK for a nice Monday morning read.
Some of the comments on there had me crying with laughter. They have truly lost their heads about us now. It's gone from 'we can beat them because our 11 is better' to 'it's just not fair that they are allowed to buy who they want, it's cheating blah blah blah'. One guy even said he enjoys the fact that they lose games because it differentiates them from us....... pahahahahahaha.
Absolutely brilliant stuff from the candle wavers.
They won't be easy games.The dippers will only be missing Salah and Mane for 2 PL games.. Brentford (h) and Palace (a).. probably won’t make any difference
He's been a yard off the pace since he returned from injury. Personally I've always thought he was overrated.Thought van dijk looked slower yesterday, hesitant in the turn. I think both Brentford and palace will give them something to think about.
