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............

Well, they are like Goldilocks in that she broke into someone’s home and nicked their porridge.

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

Who wants to win two trophies a year? Conveniently forgetting the 70’s and 80’s which is why they have so many glory boys and girls around the globe and why the British press still blow so much smoke up their arses, Istry la.

Goldilocks club?
What, like break into someone else's house, eat and use all their stuff then squeal like you're the victim when it all comes to light?

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.

Bless them……the Europa league & Mummy bears porridge…….. fckkkkkk me!

What happened to an Editor screaming abuse & asking what is this pile of shit!

Had Talksport on for 5 mins earlier when they were asking is Pep to blame for Phillips - Jordan pipes up that there are many players that Pep has failed - his example LEEROY SANE !!!!!

Sums Jordan up

Jordan certainly is an expert in failure.

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).

But that was all down to Omar……

Henry Winter - pretentious pseudo would be intellectual spouting the bleeding obvious and stinking out an otherwise superb documentary.
