A scot in Liverpool colors again eh? The last one wasnt too bad
Im sooo undecided on Russia, i want to do russia properly, moscow to vladivostok on the trans siberian but i dont think when its overflowing with footy fans will be a good time.
If i dont go then my first world cup will be 2026 coz no one want to go qatar
There have been quite a few over the years, Dalglish, Souness,Hansen.
I’m exactly the same about Russia. I’ve never been to a WC so it’s on my list to go to one even if Scotland don’t qualify but I don’t fancy Russia or Qatar to go as a neutral.
If Scotland do qualify and I do go I’ll be draped in the Saltire 24/7 so the hard-as-nails Russian ultras don’t think I’m English
I’ll give you a few examples as to why I think this is the case. Firstly we have the constant b i tching on LadBible type pages and the use of childish nicknames for clubs and players. On this very site in the comments section yesterday, I saw ‘Lollerpool’ for the first time (You know who you are). Sweet Jesus. What about Penaldo?
That leads me nicely onto the tedious debate of Messi >Ronaldo. Two wonderful players being constantly compared and argued about by kids whose greatest sporting achievement is to bounce it off a mesh and volley it in the top corner with no goalkeeper to be seen. Tekkers? Pathetic.
The thing that gets me is that these ‘kids’ are either a Messi ‘fan’ or Ronaldo ‘fan’. Since when did people start supporting players instead of clubs? I saw a comment yesterday under a story of Messi celebrating his hat-trick to take Argentina to the World Cup with a comment that said “Hasn’t won a major trophy with his country” to which someone else replied “Are you a butthurt Ronaldo fan?” Just as the flipping water bottle lands upright, another lengthy debate about who is better ensues.
They also have all the football at their fingertips which makes all of them an expert. When Liverpool signed a player back in the 80s from foreign lands I had absolutely no idea who he was. These days they’ve all seen the latest 14 year old that Utd have signed from the Amish 3rd Division in Belize.
Another gripe is the judgment of players due to their stats on Fifa. Bloody hell. These days it’s all “Liverpool should sign Croatian centre back Headitch Awayic because his stats are amazing on Fifa”. Well before you pop outside with your fidget spinner for a quick vape, let me tell you this…. he might be great when you’re controlling him on Fifa, kid, but when Moreno is half way up the wing and can’t get back, I’d say we’re still FUCKED.
Then we come to Arsenal Fan TV, if you’re going to go on fan TV at least speak properly fam, know what I mean blud? Idiot. This leads me on to the chants these Millennials make up and put on YouTube, refreshing the views in all hope it will go viral and finally surpass the numpty that can do 50 different accents whilst dabbing from a skyscraper…."
The welsh looked a lot like Scotland when they didn’t have Bale and Joe Allen. Fair play to the Irish though, I can’t see them getting through the play off.
I’d like to see Liverpool win but mainly because i can guarantee that Mourinho will set his team up to sit back, even though they’re sitting 2nd on goal difference and are playing a team who’ve won 1 game in the last 7. Also, I think Klopp might lose the fans if he doesn’t turn things around pretty quickly.
the lack of defenders in this summer really hurt… and none of the current ones are stepping up which you can’t have at this club. It might even be worth it to put Milner back at LB to add some spine to the back four. You need a guy barking orders out a la Carra especially when morale is low.
typical Mourinho parking the bus, what a cop out. Liverpool were pretty wasteful though.
Man Citeh for the title, if you haven’t seen the highlights of their dismantling of Stoke you should check it out. I still have a semi from that De Bruyne through ball to Sane in the build up to the Sterling goal as well as the ball from out wide to Sane for his goal. That was even before the Fernandinho screamer
United were woefully bad - zero drive to try to win and frustratingly bad to watch. Success from Mou’s point of view but I wonder what the supporters are thinking. I honestly couldn’t name any United players on the field right now except De Gea. Didn’t even notice Mkhitaryan until he was subbed, Ashley young until he started throwing a temper tantrum… they were just unremarkable blobs on the field. LFC will be kicking themselves for not winning the match (though they didn’t have too many chances to do so tbh) If Lukaku didn’t aim it straight at mignolet it would have easily been 3 points for United.
City look like the real package this year. If they don’t implode by January they will probably have one hand on the title.
Big results this weekend: Liverpool fluffed it in the most one sided merseyside derby I can remember, to a dive. Klopp resting his best team for this fixture?!?! United fall to City, who now have one hand on the title.
And the biggest result…TORONTO WINS THE MLS CUP FINAL!
