My Labrador has sat in front of me for last 2 minutes staring at the tv and then vomited everywhere. That has to mean something.

I should have left that bit out.

Jesus, that never even entered my mind. Very callous of me. Apologies.

Specificity of sport? Most footballers are basically full grown primadonna toddlers who need their calls/post/meetings organised and summarised for them.

Driving bans are to be imposed on multiple players due to points totting for driving offences. Sounds like a little problem but it a ball ache to hire drivers, and then everyone wants a driver but not in the players cars, but they must be nice cars (which the club has to pay for).

Aww s***, you’re on to me.

Like I know Ekitike has moved into Diaz’s old house (owned by the club), Salah been unofficially pimping his Prestbury home about, Liverpool worried about players losing their driving licences for totting, MacAllister’s agent meeting Real last year, Trent falling out with all but Robbo when he left and the club continuing to pay Diogo’s wages to Rute. Pure blind luck. My professional and personal life overlapped with northwest football. People love to talk and I love to listen especially about my club.

This was always Mo’s last year and it’s been s***. He wanted to retain the PL and have a good run at the UCL, he’s not getting either of those or smashing the personal records. He blames Slot for ruining his exit (and rightly so imho). Slot is acting too cool for school in the press, the team meetings and with the board. His appointment was always a risk but worth taking as replacing Jurgen was a tough act to follow and they were prepared for a drop off. Thoughts around last season are the same as the thoughts around Benitez (he won with a previous managers team). His three year deal is up in June 2027 so not an issue to pay him off (think it’ll be about £8m). Both are done. Salah always wanted to give the club a transfer fee (hence 2 years) but not in Jan and Slot has lost ALL the big players including the Dutch ones. Bar a miracle obvs.

Watching the interviews from Szoboslai, Salah & VvD (last week), they talk about “managing the situation” (about being benched) “I don’t know why?” and “trying to address the issues” but isn’t that the f***ing managers job to communicate and motivate these millionaires? He’s lost the room, the fans and *hearing the board too. Salah is going to leave, his confidence is shot, he’s lost his friend and the club he’s done so much for (he feels) doesn’t respect him. VvD is the next issue. A Captain needs to lead in good and bad, where is your Gerrard spirit to drag your men out of the depths. I’ve said it before and I will say it again - Allison, MacAllister, Salah, Konate and Gakpo will leave at the end of the year. A new leader needs to step up and it should be a manager but who is big enough to handle the British media, weight of fan expectation, a half trauma-bonded group of players and mammoth shadow cast by Shankly through to Klopp?

That both manager and player will leave Liverpool (I expect) by January 31st.

I’d be very, very surprised if it’s Glasner. Club do not respect the way he dealt with Guehi situation after all the details were finalised.

This is the end for both manager and player. New era that respects the achievements of the old but focused on delivering new achievements.

Get your big boy pants on FSG. Pick your camp. Players or Manager.

We have conceded 24 goals in 15 PL games.

He had to win all 5 games after PSV for me. Drawing with two newly promoted teams is f***ing joke.

Why do I f***ing bother watching this s***e?

Surely, (and regardless of the result) FSG have to be looking at the managers market.

Our mentality is dead.

Hahah, not now.

Gnonto will get Bradley sent off.

I’ve had a bet on us winning 5 nil and Salah with two.

I have him in Italy or Germany within 20 months. A formulaic footballer who isn’t up to the standard of our history of left wingers.

Thinking about it I think we need someone who has the ability to draw out the best of Wirtz, Ekitike and Isak (obviously) but also be willing to not bow to the strength of personality of VVD and Salah. A manager for the next generation not beholden to the last.
