Was walking back from taking the lad to school. Car stops on the other side of the road, the dad is a Burnley fan and he leans out the window to shout "Were you laughing at the scousers last night an'all?" Liverpool's misery; bringing everyone together in joy

I'll tell you what is distasteful and that's anyone even suggesting that Arne Slot is under pressure. You CANNOT question the massive loss of a bit part squad player to those lads on hundreds of thousands of pounds a week. Slot should be allowed to lose every match between now and the end of the season and given a chance to start afresh next summer, it's the classy Liverpool FOOTBALL CLUB way.

WTF No wonder people struggle with predictive text. I was typing …. Can you set QuickBooks up to monitor Vat even though you ….. are not Vat registered.. And this is what it was predicting Quite apt actually and made me laugh.

Let them use Jota’s name like this tbh. It makes them look like horrible classless bastards and neatly avoids all of the real issues. Let them burn in shit

"Macca" these days looks like Steve Cram if he'd stopped looking after himself and became a pub landlord.

I bet Rooney is feeling quite smug. After he got blasted for criticising VVD's effort. They then beat Madrid 1-0 and VVD thought he was top shite again by 'confronting' Rooney.

Carragher on Konate: it's getting to the stage now where you actually feel like you shouldn't be criticising him. You're watching something that's actually.... It's not nice to watch when you're seeing a player go through something like this.

I have an account on RAWK but there's loads to run at atm - it was a constant stream of negativity yesterday, they couldn't stem the tide even with ban threats.

as it stands I'd be gutted to see slot lose his job. if however he were to lose it to gerrard I'd be fucking deliriously happy.

In Monkseaton and Whitley bay? it's very well to do - I've just moved here and its got a very well to do feel with those mums and toddlers and all the "hobby shops". Why not try my old neck of the woods and do the same on Welbeck road? I feel bad about the boomers thing for people in that bracket who legitimately didn't support and vote for Thatcher and 10 years of Tories. I think the problem is (or in my own personal view, the problem is) that it's that generation that are on Social Media all the time talking politics and they always come out with stuff along the lines of: "Tories / Farage are the only people with balls to fix this country - share if you agree" "I'm not paying for people to have children and live in luxury" - share if you agree "Life was hard for us too, kids need to stop eating Avacado" etc etc. Whilst simultaneously forgetting all the enablers that helped , yes times were tough - but it's that generation that have voted in successive governments that enable excessive consumption and cuts cuts cuts. In the 70's we had: Jobs from school at 15 and you could stay with the same employer for life if you wanted (Unions , apprenticeships , Nationalised industries) Free education at all levels Free dentistry and healthcare Regulated banks (this was huge) Child benefit uncapped Social Housing Regulated rental industry (even the rent act 1965, 77) And the Tories call it the politics of envy that we are unhappy with the deregulation and reduction of taxes for the wealthy - since Thatcher The fact is that the generation before COULD survive and bring a family up on 1 persons wage - and these families were BIG 2 children minimum up to 6 or 7 in my parents generation. I know also though that the family didnt have xboxes etc, or even guaranteed meals in some cases. But it was a generation that shared and had community spirit because they had to share - now that that's taken away the generation appear to be arguing that they want the UK to be like the 70's - but without actually being willing to share or go through any hardship themselves. Look at the comments on BBC today about lifting the 2 child cap on UC - they make it sound like we are talking about the equivalent of a salaried wage being given away. It's a support network for the child. But when its something that affects the boomer generation .. wow. (admittedly though, its only them and workshy fops like me that are writing comments on bbc, other than bots and paid peeps) The reality is now, if you are in a working class or retail job it is not even possible to survive with both peoples wages and 2 children without loading debt . And who was it that bought right into consumerism and globalisation , only to blame kids now for being consumerist. We reduced all regulation on advertising, imports, destroyed unions, destroyed 100's of thousands of jobs in traditional industry areas for "cheap imports" - without giving any alternative path? A cause of areas like south hetton are down to stripping away the possibility of work for an entire generation, who already had children without any practical alternative - the tory alternative is to think that everyone has the same opportunity and "just move to work".

Absolutely no coincidence that Gerrard is getting his face on telly, massaging the egos of VVD and Salah when the current Liverpool manager is under massive pressure. He knows what he’s doing, the dirty cunt

Van Dijk for the first goal. Salah for the second goal. Konate for the third goal. Van Dijk for the fourth goal.

This bits mental when you see it written down:

I don't care if anything says or thinks it's looking towards halycon days and it's rose-tinted, it is demonstrably far harder to get on the housing ladder than it used to be. Listening to my folks who bought their first house in 1963 it was akin to buying a car - so long as you could provide evidence of regular income you were going to be accepted for a mortgage. Everyone's opinion of where the balance tilted unfairly between salaries / cost of living and the valuation of property but IMO it was 25-30 years ago and it's been getting progressively worse since. I'm in my late 40s, earning £70k with no savings and a small amount of debt to consolidate and I can't get on the market. I rent a 2 bed end of terrace for £1250pcm which is unbelievably good value round here and I've seen mortgage illustrations suggest my salary would permit a mortgage of around £450K with repayments below what I'm paying in rent if only I could string a deposit together.

instantly pinched and about to be shared with me whatsapp group.

He did court Isak however and claimed he was going thrive at Anfield so I'm making sure I'm making the most of this downfall

He can only shine in the right set up ie 3 x "8s" pressing with high energy in the centre circle and releasing him/pacy wingers into approx 1/3 of a relatively empty opposition half..until they set up like that he'll continue to do fuck all

So difficult is it to find anyone prepared to speak out about Salah, RTE have had to bring a sea captain from the 1970s in to do it.

I think it's fair to say the visible majority of Liverpool fans are now done with Slot Tempted to say we need him to win his next game just to keep himself in situ for a little longer. Amorim has done brilliantly at that, clinging on just enough to remain in a job while also ultimately being shit.

Ahh, you're mates with Toonpack outside of here? You're mate is wrong on so many things. First, the state pension is not paid by his NI contributions, it's paid from current tax payers, mainly PAYE. Those current tax payers will have to wait even longer for their pension which will be less, if they receive it at all. I had an endowment mortgage which never paid out, whats his point? There were never any guarantees, it wasn't hidden in the small print. Maternity pay, fuck off man. Never been harder to raise a child than now, which is one reason for the declining birth rates. He probably won't need to pay tax on his state pension unless private pensions or other income takes him over. He does sound like a typical entitled boomer to me. Tell him he's a tax dodging scrounger who can get fucked.

Missed that bit, that's mental. Spending time in Jan.

The best thing about the Isak situation at the minute is, if Liverpool were firing, they could keep Isak in the team until he got fit and worked it out. But because they're getting beaten every week, they can't afford to do that. So he either plays, they get beat, and he is perceived as a big part of the problem by fans and media. Or he doesn't play and therefore his situation doesn't improve. It's almost as if karma is real.

It’s usually a rape though.

I'm hoping they'll sneak a couple of restorations in , in each budget - they committed to making budgets annual - if that's the case (hopefully no war!) then they've got another 2 budgets left at least. I'd like to see some more done to try and combat all these multinationals who use shell companies in tax havens for profits and UK companies for losses - in my view this is why the Employers NI increase had to be made. Amazon can pretend that its shipping stuff from Amazon S.A.R.L to you at 10am the next morning when you order at 9pm the day before and put that sale through luxembourg - but they can't disguise the fact they are hiring UK employees due to the legal need for NI numbers etc . It is the only way to try get revenue out of the multinationals and get away from HMRC making "case based" deals with these companies. IF , just IF amazon, vodafone, 3, EE etc had to pay corporation tax at 20% on UK profits (with all sales being properly registered through a UK entity - and no overseas losses allowed through the UK entity) we'd make billions. We've taken this country to a point where I think people legitimately believe that any operating cost (be it genuine tax, a fine, or any regulatory cost) - should be passed onto customers. We need to get back to the shit we had in the 90's - it was still shit, but at least then companies used to think "if we pollute we get fined 4% but profit is 5% so we'll still make 1% profit by doing x" Now its "if we get fined 4% we've no choice but pass that cost onto the consumer" Thats what neoliberal politics, social media and the complete collapse of any Anti Monopoly rules has done. Christ, 3 years ago we had energy companies saying that costs had gone up so they had to increase energy prices by >10% and what did our governments do? They took money out of the public purse and gave it straight to the energy companies and private sector. I mean seriously, how do they get away with it? You either believe in market forces / neoliberalism, or you don't. It completely breaks the law of supply and demand. Those companies also went on to make record profits - same as most multinationals right now in the UK. And no.. other countries DONT do this and the companies DONT leave the market - ANY profit is viable. Canada wont allow the import of goods it cannot recycle into certain provinces. Prince Edward island doesnt take plastic bottles at all , coca cola didnt exit the market, they supply glass bottles. But like the Labour party of today. in my opinion it isnt a matter of strength it's a matter of media ownership, the Nudge Unit going private, Meta's rise , algorithm and fact checking removal - the media , the oligarchs , russia / china are laughing at how malleable we've been. (what im trying to say is that if they tried to enact any true policies so early in their term, then the screw would be turned so tight they couldn't win another, because the public opinion majority is now fairly easy to manipulate by the elite who don't want regulation, or seek to divide and conquer our international and domestic influence) I do think though, that internet and social media makes it look far worse than it is - the majority of people in my social circles are not greedy and want taxes to at least move half way back to where they were with Thatcher . Business owners used to want legacy and to leave legacy behind (Henry Ford even in America) - now its become trying to get into a position of "the sovereign individual" (cheers Lord Mogg you odious elitist) Edit .. lol what a rant.. all my opinion , but I like to think some of it is accurate at least. I lived with and had friends that are multi millionaires and they all find it stressful and want to be able to take back a bit of control. In most countries its illegal for a CEO of a PLC to do anything philantrophic with their companies - it has to come out of their own pocket because business profits "isn't their money , its the shareholders" . In the USA the only way you can do anything charitable legally, is if you can justify that it will in some way increase profits (e.g. its good advertising)

I was brought up with my dad the only breadwinner and my mother occasionally had PT jobs. No car, skint, no foreign holidays, (our holidays were going to NI and staying with grandparents via Stranraer/Larne ferry plus bus/train). I can think of a couple of teacher's pets whose parents had money and took them to Portugal for holidays and were fawned upon by this particular teacher whilst everyone else in similar situations to me had to sit and listen to their tales at the request of the teacher. Anyway, I saw one of them the other day, now early fifties, peddling on a bike past the same school, a druggie. I fucking wish I could've been standing alongside the same, middle class snob teacher as the mess rode past us (Most teachers were ok, tbf). Anyway, carry on.

Reform are paying the legal costs of any of the farmers arrested as well. No doubt Farage was there in his farmer cosplay gear again.

Good to see that Isak continues to be at his impactful best.

This is the guy Liverpool fans call the greatest defender in Premier League history…

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/nov/27/mansion-tax-richmond-residents-react-council-tax-rise-budget-2025 Tough break for the people of Richmond who live in £2m houses that "aren't mansions". If you can't afford the council tax surcharge, sell your house and be a millionaire instead.

just taking a punt here, but I reckon it could be 4-1....

Without sounding callous, it does feel like it’s being dragged out as an excuse for their god awful performances and everyone seems to lap it up as acceptable. They’re professionals man and whilst I appreciate a football squad is close knit, it’s also a transient profession so they should be treating it psychologically as if he’s just moved on to a new club. Keep bringing it up is disrespectful both to his memory, but also to those players out there who’ve lost team mates during a match, and got on with it - if anything using the tragedy to galvanise them.

just seen the psv penalty, hadn't switched the game on at that point. how in the name of fucking god can the surly dutch cunt even consider claiming he didn't mean to handle the ball?

Nah I think you're right. We were on the verge of relegation 4 years ago. We've now won a trophy and been in the CL twice and it's proper toys out the pram tantrums and wobblers cos we lost an away tie in Europe. Perspective has gone right out of the fucking window and the expectations are now ridiculous. At one point last night we were 4th in the CL and had it stayed like that we'd have gone ahead of one of Arsenal or Bayern tonight if one of them beats the other by a couple of goals. We've got an away problem at the minute, but that is genuine miracle worker stuff from Howe and his team. And we're in ANOTHER Carabao QF. There are gonna be setbacks, but in the grand scheme of things, our current away form is a relatively minor one which I have absolute confidence will get fixed.

https://archive.ph/oIEIf First time training with the rest of the squad today. Woop woop.

Railway. What do I win?

"Will people start to be asking questions about Arne Slot now after all these heavy defeats and the spending?" "This is because she's Newcastle, Macca. Lol."

I hope you're right. He'll rue the day he put out a statement calling the man who made him a liar.

he came on with about half an hour to go, had one shot which was on target, lacked any real power but the keeper made it look better by fumbling the ball before getting it under control. other than that, fuck all, touched the ball about 4 or 5 times. he looks lost to me, almost detached. I'd love to know what's going through his mind at this point. he'll obviously be aware that every minute he's on the pitch he's being scrutinised, whether for the dippers or sweden. does he give a fuck? does the money override anything else? I couldn't have even dared dream that it would've panned out like this for the skinny cunt, it's heading towards christmas and he's been utter shite. fucking love it.

Yeah, they want to sell relatively uneconomic agricultural land (their real enemy is Tesco, not the chancellor) for top dollar to tax dodgers like Clarkson who they have completely unironically appointed their spokesman

Kerkez getting the blame for the fourth goal too. Van Dijk allows the lad to just ghost past him. He looks and sees he's there, and doesn't even try to get back on terms. But aye it's Kerkez's fault.

This fucking "know your place, Geordies" cunt.

The goal where they went 2-1 down last night. Salah beaten on the wing, no challenge, immediately just started jogging as soon as the lad went past him. He really seems to want to enjoy this final payday and no football match is gonna get in the way of that.

Not for me they are not. I've voted Green many times .Their manifesto made a lot of sense in the last GE. They are a legitimate polital party - it's pretty wrong to say they are reform on the other side - reform are utter utter inept shits who are playing populist. That said , as much as people like to say that Labour are "just like the Tories" - they really aren't imo. They should be more left but they'd get destroyed in this climate because the neo-lib lobbyists own everything. They say they can get our budget into surplus by 2028 - if they do that , or even break even - I'm voting Labour. We really need rid of FPTP , but I think we have to wait for the new generation of voters - the oldies dont like change . Also, I think the budget was much better than expected , the mansion tax , 2 child cap rid of - they are things that conservatives would never do in a million years. And it shows that they are at least listening to some of their left wing members. An EV tax was coming - I've had one since coming back to the UK and haven't paid a penny in road tax for 8 years now - that's not helping the roads.

Worst string of results since 1953.
