It was literally Ridsdale’s job to negotiate transfer fees. And it was Staveley’s too in our first couple of windows. I don’t remember too many complaints at the time. She may well have trod on Ashworth’s no doubt delicate toes which obviously isn’t ideal. But that’s just executive level politics, same at most corporate companies..

its 3 from those four without sales if we were putting say 10 mill down on each. Was it 30 mill we were short? Something like that. So we’d have had to raise that 30 mill by selling Longy, Miggy, Murphy etc etc… my point is the squad going into a champions league season would’ve been woefully short on numbers. And the same people whingeing about how shit we were round Christmas last year would’ve been moaning how shit we were in September

What reminds you of that?

Not screwing up PSR probably means no Gordon, Livramento and Hall…. unless we’d been canny sellers in the summer of 2023…. you can reel off the names you’d be happy to see the back of but as we saw last season you need a squad of 25+….

Liverpool legend RIP 🙏

I’ve had a quick look but can’t see why you’re taking these scary sounding antibiotics in the first place?…

Trump is about to fuckin crush this prick. He’s no longer required; he’s made his donation and Trump no longer needs Twitter as it’s unlikely that there’s going a US election anytime soon so he’s now largely irrelevant. That will probably mean Musk is going to go full on Bond baddie and try to take over the fuckin world

I don’t think anyone in the British game carries more clout though…. I think he’ll put a word in on behalf of the ex players. Whether he gets a positive response is highly unlikely tbh and at that point he might go to a pet journo and really put the boot in 🥾

You’d imagine a certain ex manager may be about to stage an intervention about this….

Not if I take my rabbits foot, horseshoe and lucky white heather Kev 😒

Got to say no football today and no football on New Year’s Day is fuckin abysmal. Is this down to what Geoff fuckin Bezos wants?… Sky and TNT have gazumped the cunt for the foreseeable but I don’t hold out any hope that much will change. We should also be playing in the FA cup third round next Saturday, not the following one. Fuckin cunts. In fact cunts makes them out to be fuckin useful etc etc….

Arsenal struggle to put Ipswich away without Saka …. Ipswich did ok tbf, defended well and had a fair bit of the ball in the second half…

He was out injured from mid October for a month, I don’t think he can get back in the side in front of Gruda… indicates a decent player but not a player that would provide consistent quality for where our owners eventually see us…

Still hurts? 😀

TBH I’d look more foolish in one of these 😀

Seeing the grey area where truth often lies hopefully means am getting wiser with age… I’ll be delivering my New Year sermon of peace and understanding to all (including scousers and Mackems) on 1st Jan to make up for lack of a game that day ☺️

It’s a red though. You’re not allowed to even accidentally stamp on a player in rugby fucking union these days

And a milli second earlier…

Shearer didn’t have to go into bat for us because we twatted them Tindall as Samuel L Jackson here…..

Yeah that’s ok but we haven’t had a recent stool report have we? 😀

I’ve just txtd that to my 80 year old uncle in Gorton, Greater Manchester. He just told me to, and I quote, “GO FUCK YOURSELF. MERRY CHRISTMAS”
