Just read that sp*rs will be playing home games at both Wembley and the new WHL this season.

For the integrity of the the Premier league I thought you had to play all home fixtures at the same stadium :? Seems mad that you can switch stadiums like that.

Being totally unbiased, I'd remove them from the competition and demote them to the championship for next season. :|
joe lewis up to his old tricks as ever.

Morally that would be the right thing to do. :D

Sadly they actually all believe that. The ones I know , and there are lots of them, believe all the hype about Liverpool and they buy into the words of wisdom from the likes of John Aldridge etc.. Oddly enough by Spring time when Liverpool are out of the title race their thoughts turn to rugby or GAA.
We had the unbearable arrogance of the new Manure fans in the 90s , the misty eyed sentimental rubbish from the Celtic fans over the years and the sense of entitlement from the Victims fans.. Amazingly in good old Oireland you can support Celtic and either of the other two.

I've been in pubs where Celtic "fans" were singing IRA and anti British songs with gusto and then the same moronic cùnts will be in there a couple days later in their manure or mouser jerseys screeching like bitches for those clubs. Absolute arseholes. :censored: :oops:

The latest from the 2 mouser tossers in work is that Klopp and the victims have shown why they are the best club in the PL. After one game. Against utter shit. Apparently citeh will be running scared this season. :oops: :lol:

I chipped in with "well it'll be nice for you to finally win a premier league after over a quarter of a century in the wilderness". :wink:

With De Bruyne out for the majority of the season, I have to admit I'm starting to worry that it may actually finally be their year.

It won't be. Klopp is too like Wenger in his intractable idealist approach. The mousers are great going forward but always susceptible to the sucker punch defensively. Also citeh have depth and spending power. Can't see anything but citeh walking it again this season tbh which is probably the lesser of all evils.

Was actually thinking about all this when I woke up.

One game in and I'm already stressing about who's going to win the league, can't be good for me. While I too make City strong favourites there will always be that niggling doubt in my head that those murdering bastards might do it until they start to lose a few games. Would be delighted in they finished potless again.

I think it will be. I like Klopp anyway. I would have been very happy to have hid four years ago at The Arsenal. delighted in fact.

it will be a small consolation that united fans will be more upset than we will :lol:

Don't worry rodders Klopp is a perennial failure. All show all mouth and histrionics but has no more true managerial quality than latter era Wenger - and without the 3 FA Cups. :lol:

Darren Bent on SSN saying Harry Kane is a better than Aguero. I would think a striker's worth is measured in part by his contribution to tangible success like titles and cups. Obviously club and nationality is equally or more important.

Likewise Kieran Gibbs - made on , scored one.

Wiltshire playing poorly again . West Ham losing at home to Bournemouth.

QPR are such a fuck up. Too many bad managers, and mclaren is not going to save them either. I do feel sorry for their fans.
