If he had been close to burn out, and the club wanted to give him time off....open ended, take as much time as you like... The best way to do that and not have everyone constantly asking when he is going back to work, would be for him to say he's retired from coaching. Thus, when he feels ready he can come back. On the other hand, we might actually need to go on without him and find a replacement for Slott.

What is a safety blanket ? Does Warnock mean a comfort blanket ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/c62dzklqxwqt?post=asset%3A4c87de93-c642-4be4-a1ed-089dd89e263a#post

Surprised Um Bongo haven't went for the boy Hughes.

There's probably a study for someone in how the desirable residential areas have shifted. Rafa's house in Calday was once peak football territory. Before him Barnes moved to Calday. I bumped into Graeme Sharp the other week. He lives on a country club estate next to a golf course in North Wales. Seemed like a nice fella. Then a few days later I met Jimmy Tarbucks cousin who came through the youth team around the same time as Joe Royle and all them. His house was much less salubrious than Graeme Sharps but I didn't mention that.

Who has been stabbed mate ?

It's like when George Best had 2 miss world's and 2 bottles of champagne and 2 hats and everyone said where did it all go wrong George ? Well nobody is saying it's wrong for Arne Slot now.

Stabbing is bad. Don't talk about it.

We should win but can imagine Galatasaray really want this and can probably sense this is a big opportunity to defeat one of the biggest teams.

He's done it before, with a much weaker squad. He's probably learned a lot since then. He'd smash it. The only issue is persuading him to give up a life of Reilly

I can't imagine he's on enough money that that sort of calculation can be allowed to jeopardise the future so dramatically. Should have sacked him way earlier in the season than this. It's almost past the point of no return now where there isn't enough time for a new manager to do anything

Maybe Tom Little thinks he's a big shot for sharing the obvious over social media, and getting thousands of engagements. I can tell you though Swipe, you saw half of those results coming. A lot of us could see this happening earlier in the season. What I want to know is why couldn't the people in charge. Why wasn't suave sophisticated Richard Hughes doing his job ? Where's Billy Bob Hogan and Mike Edwards with his massive FSG portfolio ? Gang of pricks they are letting Jurgens legacy go down the drain like this.

We should score an own goal and end the hauntingly inevitable speculation.

This happens often with AI and football stats. I might have to go back to actually watching games.

According to potentially unreliable AI sources,we are actually a little bit better off when we start without Ekitike. "Liverpool are taking 1.79 Premier League points per game when Ekitike appears, and 2.17 points per game when he does not (league games only, this season so far)." Think he started the season well though and he's obviously a good player

I'm assuming he's not available or has a knock and they want him rested for Gala at Anfield. I'd prioritise the league over Galatasaray but one player here or there doesn't matter too much. We have set such a low bar week to week that one player in the team or not won't make a massive difference. Gakpo in the middle might do a bit better today. Hope springs eternal.

Why not. It's not like we have a good 11 this season and we fear the drop in quality from there. Personally I look forward to this manager trying something different for a change.

The generations aren't as distinct as they were. If you look at Austin Powers. It's the idea that a dude from 1967 gets frozen until 1997 when he is a complete alien to the attitudes, fashion, way of operating. If you did that film now. Austin Powers would have to be frozen in 1996. There's no way 1996 is as alien to now as the shift over the previous 30 years. Why is that ?

The kid learns that they aren't loved. They learn they are not enough, so they develop strategies to seek attention. Sadly it pushes people away so they try harder. Something like that. At a tangent, I'd be interested in what makes someone grow up violent like Joey Barton.

Thinking of Fyds. I met a fella recently that told loads of stories within a short time of meeting him. He told me he used to be in the RAF, his best mate died in his arms in Afghan, they were about to make his regiment special forces when he battered a sergeant. He was 15 stone when he left the RAF because he was on 'the juice' but now he's dead skinny. He never sleeps at night. His late father owned a multimillion pound leather company but he can't access his inheritance. He owns a 900k house on the Wirral but can't touch it. He has an ankle full of titanium from when he crashed on the TT races. He walked in on his ex riding her dad. He's done a halo parachute jump. Women throw themselves at this fella apparently. I had to listen to this over a day induction for a job I'm doing. I don't understand why he'd want to tell me all that. He must have taken my face for someone who is impressed but I was just being polite.

Rumpelstiltskin is a weird story. It feels like there's a whole lot missing. Like what's his backstory. What were his family like ? Did he have any hobbies. Was there ever a lady Mrs Rumpelstiltskin?

Arne is determined to win the European cup this season. He wants to take the medal home to his family in the Netherlands, drop it off, and get a taxi back to the airport to f*** off to Ibiza.

Gerrard and Alonso are aging to look alike. Like when a dog and it's owner start to look the same.

Its like comparing the careers of Vernon Kay with Richard Madeley.

I can't be doing with PSG handing out arses to us in both legs if we get past Galatasaray. I'd rather we focus everything on getting CL qualification for the new manager. Does going out in this round help us to do better in the league ?
