Media Thread - 2021/22

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

According to the media it's the fairy tale ending to the season that all neutrals want, but I'm still waiting for the first neutral to confirm that they're looking forward to Scouse gloating and hysteria for the next twelve months.

Imagine if they won the Quadruple?

You could be forgiven for thinking we didn't play this weekend: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football

Imagine if they won the Quadruple?

I would much rather imagine and see them winning sod all.

We did that at Wembley!

The BBC didn't show that though. The camera panned slowly over all the Liverpool fans, commentators entirely silent and respectful and with the new tactic of showing happy families on the front row something they repeated during the match. A development on the WC showing pretty women in the crowd but there's a problem in that with Liverpool women.

Interesting that the verb form used is 'can' - I thought 'will' would be the standard.

'Might' is probably better grammatically as there is little certainty in the statement

Certain clubs will not be under any scrutiny bar the usual cursory glance and yes everything’s ok ..

They should look at Gary Chuckle, fit and proper owner? Changed the colour of Salford’s kit without consulting the fans, a club that is losing money on a weekly basis. Then looking at moving the club to the AJ Bell stadium that’s based in a complete wasteland near the Trafford centre. Fit and proper?

I can just imagine a civil servant sending a letter saying "sorry, Mr Mansour, you can't own a football club because.........."

On the same day a letter arrives from Boris Johnson saying; "Your honorable, Majesty, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan bin Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, please would you buy some planes off us, we're skint...."

This as ever is as it is with the tories.

As I rule I refuse to watch Liverpool. I watched them yesterday as a 1 off. Bar the usual cheating officials, biased match commentary, Spitty being an absolute prime example in the Merseyside derby, what really took me by surprise was the continual fawning over a ‘sub’, Origi. It started when he was warming up, when he came on, when he was playing, when he scored, at the end of the match (Sly showing Bingo hugging him), post match in the studio (Spitty was nearly jizzing his pants), during the post match player interview.

The last time any other sub was lorded to that extent was……. Ian Fairclough, AKA, Super Sub. If you don’t know, also played for Liverpool.
