Foxtrot

Yeah, they're still not quite in their stride. Was funny though when both them and wither Ekitike or Wirtz (don't remember which but three of our new signings) were caught on camera just before the final whistle sitting on the bench and all of them with a totally dumbfounded look on their faces. A picture perfect what-the-f***-is-happening-on-this-pitch-and-in-this-stadium kind of situation. Loved it!

Yeah he is, but for me still less so than the brain dead Owen and always so weirdly foot in mouth McManaman on the other channel. It never ceases to amaze me how and why anyone thought was a good idea to give a microphone to either of them.

Ornstein is good looking, good journalist, a snappy dresser and fluent in front of the camera. But looks so Tory to me, every time I see him in live pictures. Maybe it's just the colours he likes to wear. You need to read more carefully, it's right there, in print: "They need the rubber stamp"

after the game he said to have having had Benzema as an inspiration, and that makes sense.

I might be inclined to agree. Virgil makes him look better than he is/would be. For the France team he has had absolute howlers and he and Saliba look worse together than they do with their respective club team mates CB pairings. Once not too long ago Konate was so awful that he got subbed at the interval.

I read that as "testicle" and realised I'm spending too much time in this s***house of a place.

You beat me to it

The same story as in the Sopranos, where one of Chris Moltisanti's rubbish partners in crime always has a crap when doing the safes in.

About time too. Most of the games we play we concede more free kicks than the opposition, also in games in which we dominate the ball. Against Palace on Sunday we committed 13 crimes against humanity with Palace conceding only 5 free kicks. During the second half my son said that during the summer break we as LFC fans forget how much pissy refereeing we have to live with.

Which surely must be equally cool in it self, no? Like a great save from a keeper. Just think of the sexiness of a save from Alisson Ramses Becker. Same goes for the really great defenders, obviosly, in my world.

Yeah, the same as with Bastoni, slowish but great game intelligence and physicality. If he was just a little bit quicker he could be going into that list of absolute world class Italian centre backs mentioned here a bit earlier. And perhaps he will end up there, he’s only very young yet with hopefully his best to come. (Maldini, Nesta, Baresi, Cannavaro and Scirea been mentioned. I’d like to add Claudio Gentile to that list as well. With Chiellini as an outside shout too)

Yeah, Slot's first of its kind 2-2-2-2-2 formation is what clinched the deal for Wirtz.

Much better than the actual away one

Everybody should get T-shirts supporting “Alestine Paction” just to see if the bizzies can read, and if the justice system will start making semiotic arguments of meaning in communication through decodable signs and charge people for having a sense of poetic/childish humour. anyway, what’s going on now can truly be the end of this government. I can see a way out for them and this will kill them in the polls until the next election.

You’re right. But there is a question of if he arrives this window. Could drag on to January. Fee, structure, replacement could spanner the works. We’ll be fine till then even without him, were that the case, just bring in a CB or two, and get Isak on New Year’s Day latest.

A very Bayern, Barca or Real move

Haha, that’s hot stuff. Hope he fares well

Thank f***!

Now that’s a song right there

No? Ok

It seems awful and snide, but there's a standing joke in my household of hoping that Ferguson, whenever his time comes, is off to pastures new early in any given summer, off the football calendar, to be spared of football being cancelled for a month.

None of the words above should be considered true, sensible or right in any order of combination.

Wasn't me, was him?
