Sorry to hear Strawb wishing you and your family the best 🙏🏻

Point is we dominated both games we didn’t dominate Villa away, Arsenal at home and Leeds away Refs affected the results at Anfield and at home to Palace, when they occurred in the season is irrelevant 🤷🏻‍♂️

If Liverpool finish top four and we don’t (Man Utd stand a chance of not making it too) by a point or GD you just know the narrative will be about that game 🤮

I love you man you started out defending your position and by the end you’ve almost talked yourself out of it Choke/bottle are basically ridiculous simplistic phrases to describe nearly 10 months of football. I think we did show good mental strength on Saturday despite out best player playing on one leg after being assaulted in the first 15mims and his accomplice being out injured. I think we’ll do it but am not that bothered if we don’t. There is a large constituency of aboriginal Mags ie “fond of a walkabout” who would prefer Europa football just for the variety of off the beaten track places we might end up on away legs…heart says “YES!” to that but heed says “MADRID/MILAN/MUNICH” etc….

I’ve only been to London Stadium once and it was a Saturday tea time ko. The Olympic park is like a post apocalyptic concrete wasteland at dusk, there’s fuck all atmosphere wise to suggest there is going to be a sporting event of any kind let alone a football match . Eerie, and inside it’s fuckin nonsense. No wonder a load of hammers are gutted they fucked it off now they’re on the verge of a European final.

“Choking” and “bottled it” are fuckin bullshit phrases for what we might succumb to, I’m not having that nonsense for a second. We might fall at the last hurdle due to our squad being short on quality, eg Dan Burn at left back and the line being led by Chris Wood for half a season. If we fail it’s due to draws in September/Oct and the post World Cup dip. Arsenal are likely to finish 10 points ahead of their “Invincible” season too. So fuckin stop it, all of you 😡

Highbury and Craven Cottage are my all time favourite away grounds for obvious reasons . I really like Emirates from the outside too, inside the experience isn’t great though, the seating in the lower section is far too shallow an incline for a decent view, that goes for the whole stadium not just the away section

PUNCH THE FUCKIN RED CUNT

There was an entrance to Highbury between/below two terraced houses too, still being used at least to the end of the 90s

HMHM’s imagination v reality…

Maybe it’s just a numbers game. You set up an acedeny somewhere on the Manc ring road and you’ve probably got 10 million(?) people within a 90 min drive The NE hasn’t produced a top quality player since Carrick. Not sure how Lee Clark’s lad is getting on? He’s played for LFC’s first team I think? 🤔

Klopp next??

🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah of course they went in strong for him in January. So we’ll see… if LFC can’t afford Bellingham that might just leave Man Utd… 🤔

Saw something this morning about Xhaka is off to Bayer Leverkusen, no new contract offer from Arsenal. I think that cooks our goose with Rice, assuming Arsenal can afford him….

So we have a scouser reffing on Thursday night 😆

I didn’t ask you to do anything tbh Dave, you came up with that patent bollocks of your own volition

Thing is he’s just a body at the moment. He’s not really contributing 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think if there wasn’t a game between Leeds & Leicester they could probably fit in five full training sessions to implement a one off plan but trying it for Brighton on Thursday is a bit tight

he’s fuckin fucked man but yeah

Yes I can see that. Am basically trying to find a way of resting Bruno and that was the best I could come up with given the players available. Are we sure Longy will be available at all? Last I heard it wasn’t a broken foot but he was being sent back to a specialist again . Unless we’re being sold a pup about his fitness obvs

This is by no means a criticism but it’s a shame Anderson hasn’t had more game time . There’s a case for leaving Bruno out on Thursday, not that I expect that to happen if he tells EH he’s “fit enough” and keen to play . He deserves that respect tbf but if you shut Bruno down we’re probably 33.33% less as a team Play Anderson as the most attacking midfielder eg Wilson Anderson ASM Murphy Joe W. Joelinton I don’t really expect this but neither would Brighton. Don’t know if Howe would trust Anderson in such a huge game so it’s highly unlikely to happen but watching Bruno struggle is almost as painful for us as it must be for him. It’s absolutely fuckin certain that Caceido will target him in the first five minutes ….

I’m on a night shift tonight, WTF are you two doing up at this time? Cheers @NJS I’d have never got that
