Football

Ugh what a mess today. I actually sat through the whole thing - sufficed to say beer was drunk and hands were waved.
Spurs just looked overwhelmed and knackered - United looked fresh.They were shaky in the first 5 minutes, but as soon as that goal went in we never caught our breath.

We never even put their dodgy centre backs under any pressure because we couldn't get the ball out of midfield. No real width apart from the full backs, who just left huge holes for United to break into when we gave the ball away with lazy passing.

Felt a bit like Pochettino was hoping it would be tight until the end and that we might nick it, but we just got bulldozed in the first half and there was no coming back from that.

That was the worst I've seen Spurs all season.
Mason, Bentaleb, Dier and Walker all had shockers.

Apparently Eriksen was playing but I must've missed him...

The Lyon vs Marseille game was one of the best 0-0 games I've seen

Rafa won the Europa League, yes. But RDM won the CL and he's not a better manager than Rafa or Jose. Well maybe better than Rafa. So it's not got much meaning as a stat. Rafa's win rate at Chelsea and his career total win rate is lower than Jose too. Rafa's win rate at Chelsea was higher than his career total and his Liverpool win rate, he's never been better than he was at Chelsea. He inherited a better team than the one he assembled at Liverpool and part of that was bought under Mourinho.

Reports that City are in for Rafa and or Brendan.
What a laugh. I think city will slip down and will be lucky to hang onto a top 4 place
Chelsea looked poor again yesterday. I believe they have only had one home victory in 8 games. Shame the rest of the pack are too far behind.
Read that Wegner thinks Arsenal can progress in the CL. My oh my

Liverpool to finish second I think now

Ah, it's fairweather Mike with a roaring tailwind. Let's wait until tonight when it's raining, there's a block headwind and we've trough of despond Mike back.

Liverpool to finish second I think now

Behind Arsenal? #lel

I honestly think that my abhorrence of Liverpool and it's fans has increased fivefold because of this thread.

Whenever I meet one I benchmark them against this thread and without fail the stereotype applies.

+1

I find it hard to feel hatred towards deluded, weak minded souls.

Fair enough, hatred is a strong word and one I normally don't use. Dislike I find a bit soft to describe it. Any suggestions?

Abhor?

Although doesn't he play up front for Saint Etienne?

That'll do.

There's a big helping of pity in there as well... #softie

Imagine how bad it would be if they were actually scouse.

Hope you're ready for oz.

How can you hate mike? From flip to flop, boom to bust, watching him ride the sine wave of our year, next year, never year is as fun as it gets here.

Long live the plastic Liverpool fan, giving everyone someone to bully guilt free. It's like a public service.

Two of my Oz mates, as well as my father-in-law, are plastic scousers, I'm well ready...

You'll be surrounded by them - have you had your injections?

Mike is the more enjoyable one for the aforementioned reasons. He's getting more delusional by the week though.

I remember this time last year when everyone here was so terrified that just maybe, just maybe Liverpool might win the title as it was looking more and more possible, there was not barely a soul to be seen and almost zero anti-Liverpool propoganda.
Now the status-quo has been preserved it's as you were with all the Chelsea 'warriors' back doing what they do best and Arsenal fans all chippy as they are going to finish fourth again.

haha, good call mike.

Instead, the most epic bedwetting of modern times occurred.

Happy days.

As for finishing fourth year in, year out, you plastic knobbers that support Liverpool and Spurs would never shut up if you achieved that.
