SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2022/23

Everything I said earlier shown in that game. Once you get past our first eleven, we've a shit, championship squad. I'm raging about that shite. Awful.

Klopp,..
Out of ideas ,....

 

I just saw on a job board Liverpool FC are hiring an "Idea Man" for £150,00 year. Submit your CV.

 

Sorry. I've already taken the "Lived Experience" Job at the NHS.

 

I got very familiar with doomer narratives of the media during the Benitez era when they really went hard at it, keeping certain headlines in the fore for far longer than was necessary, constantly seeking and amplifying new avenues of attack eg this signing hasn't worked out, the club is in crisis, etc.....

...you can begin to see it at work again today eg "Klopp seethes" or "unhinged rant" ...the "offside" goal headline kept up for hours as the lead story etc etc..

 

Cardiff defending at that corner

 

The media really seems to love when a big side is struggling. One of their favorite things is to do post mortem analysis of what went (or is going) wrong. There must be nothing more aggravating for a manager than dealing with this post match. "You lost game ... why?" Sometimes there's plenty to take a look at and other times there's basically nothing.

They won't ever say that, no this must ivestigated. Big side lose to smaller side!? Why? Big side is bigger and players paid more money than smaller side players, all is matters!

They treat it like you've paid a a team of people very good money to do something like paint a house by a certain date and the job didn't get done. Well umm it's not the same. Unlike paying somebody to paint a house there's not also another team paid to kick their ladders and do whatever they can to prevent the task from being completed.

 

Saw a classic example of this in Leeds Vs Cardiff today. Cardiff didn't play ball. Wouldn't cooperate!

 

Here Hut I hear Glasgee was bathed in sunlight yesterday ??

 

Fuck off Dundee United...

 

If so he'll reply when he gets back from the hospital after getting his second degree burns treated. The hospitals would be overwhelmed.

 

And it's being given the Hereford treatment already .. .

 

In fairness I was up there last March and it was the brightest weekend ever.

 

Is that why you left or was their an evacuation order?

 

No interest in the FA Cup. It's partly because QPR are shit in cups and always go out early (as we did yesterday, to fucking Fleetwood), but it's just so devalued by big teams playing their second string, who gives a fuck? I used to LOVE the FA cup in the 90's, Chesterfield's run to the semi finals is one of my abiding happy memories in football since I've been watching the game, but ever since Man U played that shitty tournament in Brazil in place of the FA Cup it just hasn't been the same.

 

I forgot my mask.

 

God tonights big la liga game was shite

 

Rocco off the line...

 

Mad dribling

 

Again, run a lurid headline with the afflicted party looking suitably afflicted, deranged, unhinged... for maximum effect


Same thing here....

 

No love for Underage Stevenage beating Villa today?

 

How many first team players did Villa play? To be honest though, that's still a great win considering the disparity in league places. Fair play.

 

I used to watch all FA Cup matches. I used to work with a fella at Blockbusters back in the early 2000's who was an absurdly good footballer (ex-Morocco u-21 player). He'd dropped down to Conference level by the time I knew him, but I remember when QPR lost in the FA Cup at home to Vauxhall Motors, probably our most embarrassing defeat ever. The next week he was chatting to me and his side (Windsor and Eton) had battered the exact same side 3-0. I loved that stuff, despite being on the arse-end of it, that's what that competition was all meant to be about.

 

Liverpool will have Brighton away if they get past Wolves

 

When I blearily put on the tele at 6.30 this morning i thought that was Leeds beating Villa....the champagne in the dressing room seemed a bit ott.

 

When was this and what was it aboot?

 

Funny thing is United got spanked in the Brazil tournament. I remember Edmundo absolutely toying with them.

 

So much to digest there.....Ryan Giggs providing the inspiration for Carl Froch 20 years later and the boys in The Weaste, Salford, providing inspiration for absolutely fucking nobody.

 

Leeds are the sort of team to ring you to tell you they'd just salvaged a draw against Cardiff City.
