The Fish

I liked Mandalorian and the Rosario Dawson one to be honest. Thought the new trilogy was close to being good, but at every fork in the road they chose the wrong one. But then again, I'm not the target audience. I'm struggling to think of any good sci-fi, hard or soft, that has come out in ages. Moon? Does the Martian count? But so much is just rehashing original pieces and that's the biggest problem with the latest trilogy, certainly the first of those three.

And frees up dinero for sweeteners for contract renegotiations for our existing better players.

Well, purely because that's a bullshit kick off time I'm not watching.

What time is kick off?

In other words

shocked that this only got one like

Good point.

Obviously if I wanted to go uber-nerd into the minutiae of the job, the stats, the future plans, how he balances getting his ideas across without overwhelming the players with too much information, I'd stick with Eddie. To have a laugh over a pint with? Howe would be less interesting company, I think.

A Braw Cunt

Also, what's this about? When did you have a pint with Eddie Howe?

No. I think you're a cunt.

Because I don't want to marry a cunt, but I don't mind having a pint with one.

Howe is way too "High Performance podcast" to have a beer with, Klopp might be a bit of a cunt, but at least he's not dull. And if I stopped drinking with cunts, I'd be drinking alone.

I think Liverpool think we must all love Klopp because they do, and the pundits/journalists/ex-pros do. And look, I don't doubt I'd rather have a pint with Klopp than Howe, but he's a bad loser, he's fully bought into the "It Matters More" horseshit and he's twisting reality to paint Liverpool as plucky underdogs. End of the day you look at the top managers not just on what trophies they've won, but on how they've changed the league. Ferguson did it for ages, Wenger did it and Guardiola has done it. Has klopp changed the league to the same extent? I'd say not. Plus scousers are usually cunts, so there's that.

Shame on me? Shame on you!

Haven't checked this after about three weeks into the season? How'd I do? If I'm not bottom we should ban whoever is.

Plus a £40m deal for another Brazilian. Neither of them joining until 2025.

Not sure if the hirsute homosexuals would feel the same.

Maybe not. Maybe yes. Maybe they won't give a fuck.

We've definitely got space to spend this season. TV Money, League position payment, decent cup runs, CL money, Adidas deal, Saudia Formula E tie-in. Saleable assets are; Almiron £15-£20m Longstaff £25m Wilson £15m Targett £10m Lascelles £5-10m Krafth £2m Hayden £2m Fraser £3m Dubravka £1m c£80-£90m Plus dumping some wages from the likes of Hendrick, Ritchie, Dummett, Karius Now, lets be conservative and say we can't even raise 1/2 that amount from player sales. So, £30m plus change. Add that to 70% of the amount provided by the club's revenue which was £250m in 22/23 and our budget could be £205m (30+175) on fees and wages, amortised over the length of the contracts.

That's mostly because the players making mistakes are holdovers from the old Newcastle. Dubravka, Longstaff, Almiron, Krafth, Murphy, Ritchie, Dummett, Lascelles, none of them* were supposed to play much if any part of this season. But we've needed to rely on them to varying degrees. We've also had to lean more heavily on the bluechip players. Bruno and Gordon were playing 90 minutes game after game, with no respite. Leading to more bad decisions, more mistakes, more brainfarts.
