Fuck off, you sad mackem cunt

The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there. Literary pretentiousness aside though, I wouldn’t judge previous loans against current ones. We’re a far better run club these days. Ashworth will have done his homework.

Good, but a tad too comprehensible

Great minds, Craig

My viewpoint is Man City and Arsenal are red hot favourites for 2 of the 4 CL spots. Anything that improves our chances of taking one of the other two places is a bonus. I fucking hate Chelsea as well

Yeah. I don’t understand the ins and outs of it properly. But it was essentially bought using loans guaranteed against the club I believe. Mind, Man Utd fans made life difficult J P McManus and John Magnier, previous part owners, protesting at race courses where their horses were running etc. wanting greater investment. A case of be careful what you wish for.

Whoever buys Man Utd or Liverpool for the sort of prices being touted are likely to want their money back somehow. I’m not sure who would pay that and invest a load of extra money on players. There just aren’t buyers like that out there.

Sunak’s almost in the Screaming Lord Sutch phase now. Where he can promise whatever because he’s never going to be able to fulfil it anyway.

Everton 2nd bottom as it stands.

Still is

The other thing is that while it’s always ultimately a board / owner’s decision, they’ve literally hounded managers. By physically and verbally abusing them, even the ones who’ve done a relatively decent job, in a way in which our fanbase hasn’t. Still whatever fantasy makes them happy, at least until it starts to annoy them.

Or what Howay said

I think that, whilst he’s played deeper in his career (from what I can make out) he’d thrive further forward with someone of real quality plating in front of the back four. Also I think Joelinton not playing in midfield, whilst not harming the team overall, might be a contributing factor. Maybe a bit of a World Cup hangover too. With Brazil not fulfilling expectations and his not playing much on top of that.

The same Klopp who had Milner man-marking Bruno at SJP at the end of last season

It’s weird the way some people think. Like everyone should play a certain way but only when it suits them. Football has always been a game where there’s more than one way to skin a cat, with the end result trumping the method. Oddly, if you look at Wenger, he’s made out as being someone with a philosophy based on playing the beautiful game. But that actually came in the second half of his time at Arsenal. When he had his greatest success, there was pragmatism combined with flair. When he arrived he kept the extremely solid back line and had bite in midfield with Vieira and Petit. Even Bergkamp could be a dirty bastard. The invincibles had Gilberto Silva, Cygan, Keown, Ljungberg and players like that too. In his ‘purist phase’, when he seemed obsessed with buying pretty no. 10s to play in every single midfield position, he did less well. Arsenal becoming the sort of team Bolton, Stoke and the like licked their lips at the prospect of playing. Yet he still brought CL football and trophies. But that wasn’t enough for little cunts like ‘Ty’ and they hounded him out for it

Noocarsel have spent trillions tho, innit, fam?

Aye. With a fucking massive budget most of the time to boot

That little cunt is the very epitome of the entitled ‘big 6’ man child.

When ‘football purist’ Wenger played better sides like Barcelona in the CL they spoiled.

Also that retro style Boca kit is lush

All things considered, I think we’re the best performing north east team this season

Because Arsenal would be better off

Arsenal fans chanting ‘VAR’

I was just thinking that (even though I think Anderson has great potential) that we’ve got next to nothing on the bench. It’s amazing what Howe is doing really. There’s only Targett, Shelvey and Isak really missing too iirc

That Roker Mackem spouts some pure, unadulterated shite like. He’s the one who had is getting relegated this season. That was based on the stat he made up whereby no team had ever stayed up with as little possession as we had last season. Cue our good run up to and after the World Cup and we were going to win the league. Now we’re raging after a home draw against Leeds. The stupid fucking cunt is so blinkered regarding us that he can’t even agree with himself
