  1. Been lurking a lot on this transfer thread waiting to see if anything transpires. All I can say is this is really grim, our main rivals are all strengthening. We're surely not going into the new season with the squad as it is, if so we're in big trouble because we're not getting top 5. We have nowhere near enough strength in depth to challenge on four fronts over a course of a long season. This is lunacy.

    Kevin Keegan

    Sad to hear, will always be a legend at the club. Never saw Keegan play for us since I was born in 1981 but when I was little my grandfather would get out VHS tapes and play some old matches. Three goals he scored spring to mind: 1) The diving header against Borussia Mönchengladbach to win our first European trophy. 2) The third goal in the FA Cup final against Newcastle. Pass and move football in it's purest form, wonderful team goal. 3) Cross come shot against St Etienne in that game.
  3. Spain deserved winners, Argentina offered nothing. One shot on goal in 120 mins of football. Embarrassing performance in a big final. Very similar game to the European Cup Final, attack vs defence and thankfully attack came out on top again.
  4. Swiss player has no excuses, what a tool, not only did he deliberately dive to get the Argentina player booked he also kicked out at him to initiate contact.
  5. Another reason why they're the worst champions since George Graham era. The time wasting throughout the season was a joke and needs to be severely clamped down on coming into the new season along with the shenanigans from set pieces. Let's see if they can win another 13 matches 1-0 then. Generally I like Arsenal as a club, but since Arteta has been manager I've started to have a disdain for them. I think that it isn't helped by some of their fans. Their pedigree in Europe is really lacking for a supposedly big club.
  6. Absolutely, they won the league courtesy of winning 13 matches by a 1-0 scoreline. They're the worst champions for a long time, probably since the George Graham era. They're negative, totally reliant on set pieces and a solid defence. I'm glad their approach came back to bite them on their a*** tonight.
  7. They went 1-0 up early, could've taken the game away from PSG. Instead they parked the bus, conceded territory, possession and gave all the initiative to PSG for 110 mins.
  8. It is an absolute disgrace, supposedly the best team in England playing and setting up like a lower league team against superior opposition. He had no intention of going toe to toe with them. We criticized Slot for what he did in Paris and rightly so but this is much worse.
  9. Agreed, Arteta is just George Graham in disguise. They way he sets out his teams to play the game with the talent at his disposal is horrible. I know they just won the league but surely as an Arsenal player you cannot be enjoying the football you are playing.
  10. Clearly the aim was to keep it solid, to nick a goal and hope it was going to be enough. He surrendered the ball and the pitch to PSG. He's a f***ing coward.
  11. Indeed and only scraped by Sporting and Atletico by one goal margins. Expect Arteta not to change his style of play. Arsenal will keep on playing the solid, pragmatic, dull football they've been so used to for so many years.
  12. Arsenal didn't deserve anything from that game. They were so negative, only 25% possession and only one shot in target in 120 mins of football. Their defence helped them deliver a premier league title but it wasn't enough to win the champions league.
  13. Just woke up state side, I'm glad to hear this news. It was the right decision and I'm sure over the next few days there will be a lot of news coming out of the press at how ineffective Slot's methods were on the training pitch and his relationship within every aspect of the club going from the first team down to the Academy. All I can say is I'm thankful for him delivering our 20th league title over a year ago and for that he should receive credit. Looking from the outside in it appears to me he didn't seem fully committed to the club as a whole and saw his role as limited to the first team only. He neglected youth and the players who were part of the first team squad. Liverpool Football Club is a huge job, you've got to have the strength, character, charisma, and be motivated throughout its entire structure to be successful. This is what we need to be thinking about when considering the next manager.
  14. We've turned into Moments FC.
  15. Holy s***, that must the be worst it's been this season. We have better players than most teams in this league but we've lost a third of our games because we're not willing to work as hard as the opposition. Absolutely appalling statistic.
  16. Constant lowering of expectations from this manager.
  17. Are you Hodgson in disguise?!
  18. And the manager is responsible for all of that.
  19. He's just throwing s*** against the wall to see if anything sticks and deflect all the responsibility away from himself. The fact not once this season he's taken any accountability for our current predicament says to me he deserves the sack.
  20. He's at the delusional stage. If he thinks a couple of summer signings will fix the issues then he's completely gone. Our issues right now are motivational and systematic/tactical. Two new players won't fix that, only he can fix that.
  21. It's all just f***ing embarrassing, that's the main feeling with the fan base. Defending Champions, supposedly strengthened the squad in the summer and we've gone backwards alarmingly. This squad of players should not be losing a third of its league games. It's all down to the manager, he can't motivate them and doesn't know how to get the best out of them.
  22. What a horrible season, lost 1/3 of our games, conceded the most goals in the league since 1993/94 season. It's clear to me he doesn't know how to handle adversity, last season everything just fell into place for him. We've been waiting for him to turn this all around since November and he hasn't because he doesn't know how to.
  23. Another embarrassing performance this season, this should be the end.
  24. That's their tenth 1-0 win of the season. They're certainly boring their way to the title if they win it.
  25. That's really grim, a team with no manager worked harder than a team with a manager who has just won the premier league title. It's been the same all season and I'm fed up. I just want him gone.
