I don't think Carroll was disloyal, I think he was put in a situation where the club that he had loyalty to, made it strikingly clear that they wanted him gone. He wouldn't have jumped if we hadn't pushed him to the edge.
True enough, perhaps the Carroll situation may be more indicative of what has already been said: that the business ethic of football no longer has space for sentiment.
-
Personally, I thought loyalty was well and truly dead in football when (and how) we sold Carroll.

I think Sterling is getting a bit of a rough time of it from the media tbh. Don't know why, perhaps because it looks like he is mugging off perennial media darlings Liverpool. 100k is obviously an astronomical amount. But I don't know if its about that like. Might have just had a look at the Liverpool squad, had a look at the fucking clip of Brenda, and thought 'am I going to reach my potential in this situation? Am I going to win significant trophies here?'
Sad to see young players like Barkley and Berahino trying to GTFO as soon as possible after some good form. I just think that its in our footballing culture elevate promising players to 'definite world beaters' often before they hit their twenties. No wonder that they believe their own hype.
It's happening with Kane now but seems like he has his feet on the ground.

Harry Kane goal after 73 seconds on the pitch. Will do him a load of confidence for that level. Would love to see him in Champions League and up against quality defences.

Well... He's right.

You populate the pundit landscape with Liverpool fans and that's the narrative you get in the media. Makes it funnier when everyone else pisses their sides, mind. Carragher sounded like he was giving a best man's speech to Gerrard ffs.
I thought it was more like a eulogy. -
Suarez first touch there was incredible. Great finish!

Had a tenner on Arsenal to win the league today.
If they can beat Chelsea at the emirates it could be close run. More hope than expectation though.
You can get 25-1
There is absolutely no way they will beat Chelski like. Mourinho has Wenger in his back pocket. Make for an interesting run in though.

Was it bollocks. In the last twenty minutes of the game they were still knocking it round the final third and sticking in shite crosses with no one in the box to attack them. They certainly deserved to go out over the two legs.
I agree.
The premier league is becoming more and more a PR driven sham. French clubs have put two of our "top" sides out of the champions league in the last week. Not Spanish or Germans. English clubs have won it twice in a decade, both times on pens and one of them was an all English final . We've got all the money but little of the know how. Sky can say what they like, but the facts a glaring and don't lie.
I agree.

No one seems big enough to grab the game by the scruff of the neck for them.

English teams have been done over in Europe this year like. Nee way Man City are going to get owt at the Nou Camp.

Looks like i picked a bad day to give up sniffing glue

What a set of divvies.

Aye I thought Luiz's was immense. Not his biggest fan defensively but what a header and can't deny he's got the bollocks to stand up and be counted when it matters.

Why is the analysis of the Chelsea PSG game completely focused on Chelsea being arseholes/sportsmanship/etc.? They didn't lose the game because they acted like twats, they lost it because they were tactically naive. Came out at the first whistle and they didn't know whether to stick or twist on their away goal lead. Poor team performance, total lack of structural discipline in second half (were repeatedly caught out of position at the back) and anonymous individuals (Oscar, Matic and Fabregas had awful nights) all over the pitch cost them the game, as well as PSG showing great character and heart. Though there is an overriding feeling that it was a good result for football, Souness et al busting their nuts about the state of the British game due to bad sporting behaviour is not the right conversation to be having in relation to why they are now out of the competition.
Popular British punditry is shite... yet again.

The Chinese are horrific for gobbing. Little old wifies hockling up minging greenies in the street and that.

Van Gaal is a winnet like, is the only bloke in the league that could rival Bruce and Fat Sam in the fat fucking hippo head contest the fucking huckle.
Man Utd looked utterly shit, for a player as utterly shite as Riviere to have that many excellent chances is laughable.
I noticed the Hartlepool Reds were in attendence tonight in all the pack of cunts, hope their bus breaks down on the way home the monkey killing wanks.

So glad I didn't watch this.

Because in a moment where player power appears to trump everything, it left a bitter taste in people's mouths to barely hear from him the whole situation, and to see a young local lad leave before we even had a chance to properly enjoy him in a toon top. I know that we have made a bit of a habit of selling our young/promising players to Liverpool stretching a long way back, but is it really a stretch of the imagination to think that some people found it difficult to accept that he left?
