Carragher in the Telegraph, goodness me:

'A peculiarity of all the most recent high-profile, mega-billionaire takeovers is how quickly new owners seem to have Liverpool in their sights.

Both Chelsea and Manchester City were preoccupied with targeting Liverpool after receiving history-changing investment, eager to make a statement about a power shift at the top of the English game.

Those feuds instantly grew on and off the pitch, with Chelsea having the resources to keep trying to sign our captain Steven Gerrard as they began to collect trophies, and City continuing the pattern by luring Raheem Sterling from Anfield.'

Pre-occupied with targeting Liverpool apparently.

Meanwhile, Liverpool recruit our former scouts together with passwords, James Milner. They terrorise our club transport, and their local newspaper can't write a sports related headline without comparing why anything City do might benefit Liverpool.

The winning goal being scored by Billy Meredith, who was banned for bribing an opposition player.......
Significantly when he played in stretford, his stats never approached his City figures.

Manchester City ruining football since 2008/2012/2023/1904/forever!

Great uncle Billy played in that final and is still in our top 10 goal scorers :-)

The Anfield media mob then went on a carefully planned character assassination of Raheem for daring to leave the Dippers and, for a while, were even claiming that his departure gave Jordan Ibe the chance to start and they now had the better player in Ibe plus £44 miilion in their coffers.

Looks threaders, needs a break himself.

Looks like nobody has asked him about the CWC and he had to bring it up himself. Shows the quality of the cockroaches in there, not wanting to mention it. All’s their interested in words that can be twisted or used to sell to their Red top click-bait’s.

John Henry isn’t a mega billionaire, just a multi billionaire.
 
That was the headline to the article.

1. Ronaldo laughs off snub.
2. Messi coming third.
3. The winner of the award, Haaland, relegated to the small print under the Ronaldo main headline.

This is a prime example of the state of the football media, and football reporting in this country.

Just to add. I’m 101% sure if a United player had won the award, the United players name would be in the headline.

Fulham received 20% of the fee in a sell on clause and Sterling himself received 10% of th3 balance
So in fact liverpool actually netted about £32m, however they did receive a further 5m from City due to Sterling’s success with us

I am disgusted by this.

Not only have they included the worst word in the English language: ‘snub’ but have compounded the crime by capitalising it, viz: ‘SNUB’.

Egregious assault on the English language.

Embarrassing cunts.

Raz came out laughing. A cabinet full of trophies and 6 years or so of fans singing "top of the league" to him

It was a similar 'Asterix thing' that broke the political relationship between Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great.

Caesar took umbrage when Pompey claimed that his success in the Mithridatian Wars was greater than that of Caesar's in the Gallic Wars.

Caesar countered, claiming his triumph was much the greater than Pompey's as 'away Gauls count double in Europe*'

(*not since 2021, though.. I'll get me coat by the way..)

Pompey were no saints

The odd one slipped through the net but I honestly employed an openly gay guy for a Receptionist job which at the time was almost an exclusively female position because he made me laugh so much in the interview. He was a funny guy and a great asset to the company and his colleagues.

One Monday he brought some post into an office I shared with three female colleagues and said in his best “mincing” voice, “ oh girls, I’ve been so unwell over the weekend, it’s that time of the month again”. You just couldn’t be miserable with him around, he brightened up the place.

My mate a Celtic fan worked at Tenants brewery for 20 years but early in his apprenticeship was asked how the fuck did you get through.
