darra Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 On Thursday he's on the radio complaining that Liverpool has something like three games in seven days. Today, Friday, it's on the radio that their boxing day game has been postponed due to covid. Just shows how quickly it's spreading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That aged well! Seems that the current outbreak is all asymptomatic, but they still have to isolate hence the game being off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I suspect we were all hoodwinked a bit by the affable German persona that he portrayed in his first few years. The mask has fully slipped now and we very much have whiny, passive aggressive ballbag Klopp now. Brilliant manager and they'll be fooked sideways when he does leave, but bloody hell I find his shtick boring these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a few good mates who are plastic Scousers is just the worst. At least my good mate who is a City fan, was watching them back in the Div two days. I can still relate with him on some level, even though there's a chasm between the two clubs these days. Plastic Scousers, Man U fans are just from a different planet. Even worse when they try and talk about your team in League One. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me i used to hate Liverpool then I started seeing similar traits in the Man U fans starved of success so I kinda wanted Liverpool to win to rub it in for them and also klopp. I can’t have a football conversation with those fans usually, as if they say they support Man Utd i take it with a pinch of salt as it doesn’t give me an idea of whether they actually like football or just say it. I’d much prefer a Leeds or sheff u fan to talk to about football because if they say that it’s a better indicator that they actually follow football. Having said that it’s rare I come across sheff u, Barnsley, Rotherham, Leeds much more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a Spurs fan on the radio saying how difficult it is to support them due to their lack of success. They haven't won a trophy for 13 years ffs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids at school are unbelievable in this regard: gladly point out how crap Wednesday are, and are incredulous when I suggest they should support a local team. Bizarrely, if I then say ‘ok, I’ll support City now’, they say ‘you can’t do that’ It’s amazing how many kids in Sheffield have grandparents from Liverpool or Manchester too… those places must have been enormous 60 odd years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only going to get worse. Most of these kids who are "fans" think of real football like they do bloody FIFA. Honestly, I went to watch us v I think Shrewsbury and there were two young kids in the crowd with their Man City tops on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Modern day players are such wimps man. Always whinging about this that and the other. Now they can’t manage 3 games in a week when British football has always been like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Malc Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Well, there’s a few things that could help here Reduce the PL to 18 or 16 teams. Higher quality, fewer games. PL clubs can utilise the huge squads they have accumulated by hoovering up lower league talent on the cheap Adapt to different styles of play that conserve energy rather than playing flat out for 90 minutes because fixture congestion isn’t a new phenomenon But none of those would ever be acceptable to them. So while fixture congestion can occasionally be a very real welfare concern - fuuck ‘em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
