I'm sorry you are wrong there. LB. The rags are talked about all the time. Shoehorned into other topics. 90 percent of guests are rags. My nephew and myself laugh about it all the time. It's rag FM
Imo opinion as well mccoist is a 2 faced **** and Brazil comes out with some classic lines. He is very complementary about Pep and City. So is Parlour

Rags are usually getting pelters. Having the piss taken out of them. And rightly so.

Liverpool are the Goldilocks club - Jurgen Klopp has brought exactly the right amount of success

Heavens actually help us, but This Means More might actually have been right all along. Not in the way Liverpool meant it, obviously.

I mean, this goes beyond fucking bonkers but here's an article about how winning less trophies is better and therefore the best club to support is, surprise surprise, Liverpool.

I find this bit a particularly high point;

'Liverpool are that Goldilocks club. Heavens actually help us, but This Means More might actually have been right all along.'

Bravo indeed............

 

[give it to gordon]

Just seen the itv news headlines on +1 not one mention of the spuds owner. But one headline was 'how to make a perfect cup of tea'

Guess that more important than the owner of spuds being an insider trader

We’ve turned the British media into a parody of themselves. It’s hilarious

Barcelona, Chelsea and Arsenal posted highest losses over past decade, research shows​

Chelsea have the highest losses for a Premier League side, the research shows
Barcelona, Chelsea and Arsenal lost the most money through player transfers in world football over the last decade, new research shows.
The CIES Football Observatory looked at non-academy players signed and sold from 2014 to 2023.
La Liga giants Barcelona generated the highest loss of 631m euros (£540m), while Ligue 1 side Lille made the most profit - 386m euros (£330m).
Six Premier League clubs feature in the top 10 for losses.
After Chelsea and Arsenal in second and third respectively, Manchester United are fifth, Aston Villa seventh, Everton eighth and Liverpool ninth.
The research lists the top 50 clubs for both losses and profit, with Brentford (26th) and Brighton (29th) the two Premier League sides in the top 50 for profit.
Despite Stoke City not having been in the Premier League for six years, they remain among those making the highest losses over the period of time looked at by the researchers, sitting in 16th.
The research shows significant losses are often a result of big signings leaving for much less than the club originally bought them for, while the report also cites players who contributed to these losses.
Clubs from the Chinese Super League feature prominently in the top 50 for losses, with Saudi Arabian teams Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad also included after high spending last summer, when the likes of Brazil captain Neymar and Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema joined the Saudi Pro League.
Barcelona spent over 1.2bn euros (£1bn) and received 613m euros (£524m), with the report citing the deal for Philippe Coutinho, who signed from Liverpool for £142m in 2018 before leaving for Aston Villa for £17m. He has since joined Al-Duhail on loan.
Barcelona also signed Ousmane Dembele for £135.5m before he was sold for £43.5m last summer to Paris St-Germain.
Chelsea lost 482m euros (£413m) after signing players like Christian Pulisic for £58m in 2019, before selling him to AC Milan for £20m last year. Jorginho signed for £50m in 2018 but was then sold for £12m to Arsenal.
They also spent about 1.2bn euros (£1bn), including signing both Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez for over £100m, and received 730m euros (£624m) in sales.
Arsenal lost 436m euros (£373m) after signing players such as Nicolas Pepe for £72m, before he left after four years on a free transfer to Trabzonspor.
Manchester City - losses of 59m euros (£51m) and Bayern Munich - losses of 61m euros (£52m) - "have the best balances among the most competitive teams" the report said.
Lille gained 386m euros (£330m) in profits following the sales of players such as striker Victor Osimhen, who they signed for £10m and then sold to Napoli for £82m.
Sven Botman joined Newcastle United for a fee of £32m from Lille, who signed him in 2020 for £7.2m.
Ajax were close behind Lille with player trades showing a positive balance of 317m euros (£271m).

News feed this evening informs of:

* Post Office investigator still believes (now deceased) sub-postmaster was 'guilty of fraud' despite granting of High Court appeal against conviction

* UEFA chairman still thinks Manchester City had a case to answer in FFP 'prosecution' despite the case being thrown out by the independent arbitration decision

* Why Spurs manager is 'doing the right thing' by his squad of players, working tirelessly to develop them (unlike someone else we could mention) ahead of the FA Cup clash with Manchester City

* Spurs owner pleads guilty to 'insider trading' in New York (well, we say 'owner', but it really is at an arms length.. it's not as though Tavistock have much contact with the club.. oh, apart from all over the website with lionising links directly to the club's site.. honest, guv, there's no real connection, believe me.. on me Muvva's life, cross me heart an' hope to die..)

However, as Bill Hicks (or was it S Jordan, Esq?) put it, 'You'd have to be a fool. Or a bitter Manchester City supporter. Or both..' to make a connection between the above. Or to hope that the next story up might suggest that 'UEFools' are, allegedly, about to investigate the finance history of a top English club, rumoured to be Totteringharm Holespurts..

I'm sure they're more than three that can't bear them.

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

The staggering aspect is people listen to the station in the first place when they know that what is being discussed is scripted to a degree with producers in the presenters ears steering the conversation.
Why anybody would want to waste valuable time in life being force fed content that even those forcing it don’t believe is beyond me.
You can amplify that x10 if you’re a blue as our club gets the shitty stick every single time, that is when they’re not ignoring our achievements.

Listen to nothing, just look on here and find what the c***s are saying. Let's do all our talking on the pitch.
