[Alan Harper's Tash]

I had talksport on earlier for a while and Danny “kick em Murphy, Jordan” big word twat” and Jim “yellow tie” started comparing Haaland to Mbappe. Both players obviously very good but the reason they all chose Mbappe over Haaland surprise surprise was because city create load of chances and he is Only a goal scorer lol.

The shit they come out with sometimes is staggering. They use the same formula for when city win a trophy…but but but they didn’t do the treble etc etc

The real reason they picked Mpabbe is because Haaland plays for City. Also, they have now said it is really really unfair to compare Darwin with Erling lol. Damn right and it was stupid to begin with but all because the former scored in the community shield and hasn’t seen Haaland for dust since. They only want to compare when Darwin is scoring and Haaland is not.

Lot of tosh.

If you could choose one player to go in your team, 90% would pick Mbappe.

F*ck me, Klopp’s got some nerve to come out with this after all the decisions LiVARpool have got in their favour since he became Liverpool Manager. The hypocrite, obsessed tw@t!

“I don’t have any problems with anyone from City. They deserved it just as much as we deserved it,” he told Sport 1.

“What comes up in a moment like that: a few things happened over the season when a few things went against us, so I was thinking on the day: Let’s hope it won’t be decisive in the end.

“And then you forget about it again and don’t think about it. There were really blatant refereeing decisions. You keep thinking, what went in our favour?

“Completely without club glasses. We were lucky once not to get a penalty against us. But we were already leading 2-0. Otherwise – nothing.

“And against us? Clear handball penalties, penalties not given. Clear red cards not given against us, so for the opponent. That comes up at this moment. It’s human to think for a moment. But I don’t carry that around for long.

“No matter how Manchester City get the result, I accepted it – it’s deserved. And the other way round quite the same.

“And I can say: today I would be sitting here and wouldn’t feel one bit different if I had become champion and won the Champions League for a second time.”

"Blatant refereeing decisions" - Klopp speaks about officials playing part in Man City and Liverpool battle - Sport Witness

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has insisted he has no problem with anyone at Manchester City, despite “blatant refereeing decisions” going against his side. The Reds once again found themselves competing with Manchester City for the title last season, as has been the case for the past few years...

Liverpool are—quietly—one of the main pushers of the “City are buying off the officials” narrative that is being circulated on social media. It was only a matter of time before they began to brief staff and captured media entities to begin parroting it, as well.

This is the American strategy of delegitimising adversaries (especially to reduce scrutiny on your own failings and inadequacies), so it should be no surprise they are employing it.

Worst headline ever?

Have you been to Brighton’s ground mate? If you have you’ll know that the logistics of getting a ground full of people back to Brighton town centre without trains is on a different planet to City’s set up.

Yes I've been and yes it's a nightmare but there are other options, buses being the obvious one.
30k do not go on the train.

Obviously everyone doesn’t go on the train. But my original point was I’d wager that a higher percentage do than at any other ground. I’m not sure anyone has a spare couple of hundred buses, with drivers, that could just be wheeled out either.

Surely not suggesting the LFC would stoop to such underhand tactics :)-

You are right 30k don't go on train, but having worked there, especially at the Palace game it is over 10k who go on train. That is a lot of extra people to get buses, taxis or parking for, of which the last there is next to none near the ground.
Different analogy, but Coldplay cancelled a concert for the same reason at Wembley and there is a lot more public transport in London than Brighton.
