Wasn’t there a poll on here a while ago about this ?

Yep and vast majority picked Haaland and that was before any of us had any clue he was coming. I’m afraid you are talking utter codswallop @Alan Harper's Tash

I voted Haaland, I remember that much, but then again, and I say this without any kind of ITK knowledge other than it made the most sense in so many ways, I “knew” he was coming here.

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.

I have it's about a hour and bit drive straight to the horse racing ground than a free bus to the ground. Piece of piss lol.

Normally at the Etihad I would still be sat in the blue carpark for an hour and a bit ;)

Seriously without public transport the ground is awkward to get to.

How many games have you watched in it?

Honestly Alan quite a few over the years, not so many recently. Was mainly when Monaco had a great team with Mbappe, Bernardo, Fabhino and that fella at left back. That team that knocked us out of CL were fantastic and provided real competition to PSG but of course all their best players left. It looks a bit more competitive this season and just like the Premier League there’s good and poor teams, I think PSG will have a good CL campaign, they have cleared a lot of dead wood and are looking the real deal.

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...

Well it’s a figure of speech as I don’t think I’ve ever watched a French league game in my life. And there’s a reason for that.

Xenophobia?

Both world class players but I'd have a weird monster over a narcissistic utter **** any day of the week.

The penny has finally dropped.

They know which is the right horse to back and which are the wrong ones.

Nope, they know we have Haaland and that lad makes people watch their shows.
They are all dicks at BT, but calculating dicks.

Because it’s his home, mostly.

He probably gets paid more than our squad put together to do so too.

I don’t think there’s a definitive right or wrong answer, but Mbappe has far more in his game than Haaland.

That’s not a sleight on Haaland as he’s a better preditory goal scorer.

Mbappe is akin to Messi, whereas Haaland is akin to CR37.

What's that shit Alan, go stand on the naughty step!

The DT this morning does not have a wee article about last nights CL games on its front page. Instead it goes with a report that toilet rolls are getting shorter and costing more. I think Klippity might see something in that considering the crap he had to watch last night.
