What, and so then we should be as good as Man City? Is Matt Targett our end-point left back? Or Dan Burn our end-point centre half? These are FFP constrained stop gaps. And we're 6th in the league. The turnaround is incredible. Pointing at Howe at this point in time and saying "you've done well but why aren't you doing better?" is breathtakingly stupid. We're overachieving. At the start of the season people would have been happy with top 8 and sticking around a bit in the cups. We're 6th and had a day out at Wembley and the response is" why aren't we 4th and why didn't we win the cup?" Howe isn't failing, he's now an unfortunate victim of his own success.

anyone digging howe out needs to give their head a shake. the players obviously had the cup final on their minds during this recent run of poor form and we just played liverpool, man u and man utd in quick succession. he's done an unbelievable job over the course of season. we're still 6th despite the recent slump. my main criticism has been perhaps a lack of a plan b. i'd like to see him change things up a bit more than he has done, but his hands are tied to an extent there because of the lack of squad depth. i also think bruno looked better last season when he had shelvey behind him, allowing him to play further forwards so if i'm howe i'm asking the board to sign a new number 6 as a priority in the summer he absolutely deserves credit for this season, even if we fall away and finish 6th or 7th. it's still a big improvement on the shambles he inherited when he took over

Nah, it's all about the imagination.

Imagine your 23 and living in your mam's house and having to have a wank when she goes to the shops. Who would you wank off to? Razzle Big busty girls Playboy Littlewoods cattalog Sports illastratad Page three of the sun Cattalog for me, marra. Unlike the sun, you can't propalee see the nippals but you have more lasses to look at and you get to imagine what theya tits and fannies would look like if theya weren't wearing a bra and knickas. FTM. (Might've said the fust three but the shop keypa might tell me mam, like, so that's a no from me, like).

All jokes aside, can you imagine the same back and forth with any other two clubs on sky? Two sets of perma-pundits allowed to go on for however long they like, allowed to bait and disagree with each other as if this is the norm. Now imagine another club playing them with a irregular pundit not arguing too much in case he doesn't get asked back on, shut down quickly or agreeing so as he doesn't appear biased. The fucking arrogance these clubs, their pundit ex-players have not to mention sizable sections of their glory hunting supporters have is is unreal. And the best thing? Sky and BT metaphorically getting on their knees and piping them off as if it's perfectly ok. For them. Not your club. Any criticism is dissected, argued, defended as there's a pundit who'll stick up for his club and is allowed the space to do so. When you think about it, it's bollocks, like.

Sky have got to be on the windup here

Joint Mossad/CIA swoop I presumed.

I don’t see any harm with a bit of analysis of Howe as long as it’s not anti Howe. He’s a good young manager that no doubt will only get better the longer he has with us. We did fantastic pre World Cup with the same squad and have performed worse after it. It’s understandable he’s been reluctant to change things up given the success the team has had, however there’s been some noticeable events post World Cup. 1. Wilson’s loss of form 2. Our Right sided attack of Trippier, Almiron being found out and stopped. 3. Almiron free scoring dried up. 4. Burn starting to struggle. 5. Lots of chances going begging. 6. To me, Bruno not getting as far upfield as he was. I can fully understand Howe keeping faith and hoping some of those chances go in and the tide would turn. I also feel a bit frustrated that he hasn’t being more pro active in mixing things up a bit. Still has my 100% support, hope he makes some changes v Wolves and hope he’s here for years to come.

Imagine.

Just seen a tweet about Bruno saying that Pep told him he played "bueno" and that the two of them have a good relationship and have spoken previously. First reply is that Howe needs to do the same with Bruno as he's done with Fraser.

he did like his breasts, that one.

Saw two Liverpool fans yesterday at work. One actual Scouser and one glory hunter. Guess which one was gloating like fuck and being an annoying cunt the most?

So some good and some bad then?

This was my little Grandad at 40.

🎼 xG,, huh, yeah What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, uhh 🎵

I’d rather have deadman back tbh.

I usually mute or switch over when the pundits are on - add in cunts who have nowt to do with us but hate us anyway like Redknapp and Rio Ferdinand and it's worse. You need to get to a cup final for a bit of leeway - I enjoyed Sir Les and Ginola last week but they won't get two on like that again.

Because we’d end up with Souness and Bellamy as the ex-NUFC pundits.

Whenever you get an ex-player from another club in the studio you can just imagine them having Radiohead's Creep going through their mind sitting opposite Souness or Keane. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here.

At least Roy Keane had the good sense to keep his mouth shut.

Souness enjoying himself here, the fucking prick.

I read the other day that John Cleese was 35 when he made Fawlty Towers.

They were lucky that traffic was light.

Fucking hell, sounds like he was due some luck but at the same time, FUCK. HIM.

Absolutely disgusting.

WE'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER BATH!

Was that used to calculate YeOldeG

i think wilson either has to play alongside isak or not at all on current form

My only frustration is that in the last few games Isak has shown more in his first 5-10 minutes as sub than Wilson has in his entire time on the pitch yet Howe still refuses to start Wilson on the bench and give Isak a crack. He scored two goals at Anfield on his debut, cost £63mil and yet is being kept out by a guy whose form is clearly off. Perhaps Joelintons suspension this week will see a Wilson / Isak pairing but 3 league goals this year simply isn't good enough and something needs to change. Can't keep crossing your fingers hoping Wilson suddenly clicks into gear.

Presumably doesn't factor in the other team being fucking useless and lacking heart on the day.

Yes, it is. There isn't the infrastructure to export their gas to the East. Their oil production is nowhere near as efficient as countries like Saudi, and although China and India will buy it (after inefficient shipping), this is at a discount. I don't think they're the biggest grain producers and not sure we need them for this. There's a moratorium on vital technology imports and they're facing catastrophic brain drain will hundreds of thousands of economically acrive people emigrating tout suite. Anyway, there are countless articles on the state of the Russian economy. It's not sustainable and they are looking at a lost generation or more. There's never been a more clear cut apportioning 9f blame for a conflict, and all that blame lies with Russia and Putin. He must lose, and be seen to lose.

"I see you're supporting Liverpool again, Michael?"

Imagine if you had a team full of exciting attacking players. And that team was playing some of the best football you’d ever seen. And then that team got thrashed 5-1 at home to a side struggling in the bottom half of the championship. Then imagine you missed the last three goals because you, like most of the crowd, fucked off with more than a third of the match still to be played. Imagine. It’s possible

37. It's radge how much older people looked back then. I once worked with someone who looked like a cross between this Aussie and Saddam Hussein when I was 18 and it turned out he was 24.

It started in 1932, so can’t blame the Nazi’s for this one- just good ‘ole boys getting their racism on.

Original Apollo XI footage?

There recent-ish photos of the Moon landing sites from a Chinese mission iirc. Seems unlikely they’d be in on the cover up

Christ man, Corbyn is such a sixth form A level politics student failure. Reminds me of once having a political discussion with my mate's Dad. His wife interrupted and just said something completely banal like "Why can't we all just have peace and get on with each other?". We just looked at each other and laughed. Putin HAS to be defeated imo. I don't know when that will happen, or what the mechanism will be, but they have to give back territory gained since the war last year. And Ryssia should be maximally sanctioned until they also cede Crimea, even with Putin gone. The Russian economy is actually completely fucked now, we hold our nerve and they will capitulate. We are ahead of schedule on weaning ouraelves off their fossil fuels, forever. We keep doing what we are doing. China is a much bigger problem ultimately mind.
