Na, Conn was always following the coin, would you expect any Sky Four top team journalist to write a book along the lines of "Richer than god"? Especially when the Dippers, Rags, Tarquins and especially the Chav's were splashing the cash.

Conn by name, Con by nature and I'd believe Keith Harris alter ego Orville the Duck more than the **** you think was one of our more positive Journalists.

Nothing personal, everyone entitled to an opinion.

It's fact though, not opinion. Conn was flown out to Abu Dhabi and given an interview with Khaldoon. They shared financial information with Nick Harris before he had his meltdown. They tried to get other "serious" journalists onside.

The strategy ultimately failed its fair to say, but 100% it happened.

Dominic King on talksport now about Klopp.

Saying that the way the city connects with its managers is unique, be it Liverpool or Everton.

What the fuck does that even mean?

Well plenty of them wanted to connect with Loris Karius, or are goalies different in some way?

Gazumped by Qatar possibly?

I might get 115 tattooed on my forehead. When I’m old and in a shitty care home somewhere, I’ll be able to bore my fellow bed pissers to death about all things 115.

Conn's book was published in June 2012 so it didn't take him long to start his weird take on the Club he was supposed to support. My sister bought me the book for Christmas, I'd had enough of him by then so in the bin it went without turning a page. Our owners probably knew at that stage there was no point in cosying up to the Media so a big "fuck you" seems to be the strategy, I'm actually happy with that, we don't need sycophantic praise off anyone.

What a tedious twat this draper is.

Harris, Delaney, Liew, Conn, Ronay, etc. Who cares?

This is what Johan Cruyff had to say about Pep. Yeah, you know Johan Cruyff.

“Guardiola wants to make football better, to take his team to another level. He played in the third team back then (when he was given his first-team debut at Barcelona in 1990), and physically he was nothing, but he knew how to help himself with the right movement. And this experience in turning disadvantages into advantages distinguishes him as a coach. To me, he’s one of the best in the world. What is really outstanding about Guardiola is that he doesn’t force his style of football onto his team. He analyses what is best for the team, utilises the special details and through that leads them to the greatest possible success. It’s no coincidence that Spain won the 2010 World Cup with seven of Guardiola’s players, and now Germany with six or seven of his players.”

This is why we are going for four in a row.

To all the bastards in the media with a love for Man United, Liverpool, The Arse and the Moronic mob on social media, the paragraph below explains their behaviour very succinctly.

Bitter people aren't glass half-full or glass half-empty people. To their minds, some malicious bastard has drunk the other half of their glass. Often, bitter and twistedness arises when people have done very well for themselves for some years and then things go wrong. They forget that in life, just as in the stock market, past results are no guarantee of future performance. They begin to believe that the glittering prizes are theirs by divine right. And when these don't materialise, the bitterness sets in.

Source. The Guardian, 2002, 27th September. How to be bitter and twisted.

So, we are the malicious bastard that drunk the other half of their glass. Long may the malicious drinking continue. Hurrah!

'Tis a cracking beer too!! Pass that other half, and fuck 'em...
