State of that bald twat at the victims*, hunching down right in front of a camera and looking all serious like he's still analysing a game that he is 5 fucking 1 up in, the silly cùnt. :oops: :roll:
Can't put my finger on it, but there's something about that bloke that really grates on me, apart from the fact he manages the Victims.

Must be the Uncle Fester look :D
In his younger days he used to do the occasional guest appearance on the Reeves & Mortimer Show before getting into Football

Not a good day yesterday. I actually avoided the football and any news about it and watched MOTD without knowing any scores. The scum are so desperate to be involved in a league title success, that they offered their usual capitulation, just so they were somehow involved. I don't know how many times they've been the side that hand the title to the winners, but from memory, it's twice to us, Utd in 1999, City last season and now the scousers. Could well be more.

I watched the game, but not the celebrations. That said, unlike most on here, I don't harbour the usual animus for Liverpool. They are, at least, a club with tradition and heritage who have built their success the proper way and haven't bought it like no mark City and Chelsea. Gotta hand it to Slot too. He had big shoes to fill, inheriting a team from a manager that was hugely popular with the players and supporters and they spent no money last summer. Finished behind us the previous two seasons and has comfortably eclipsed us this season with the same team. That ought to make some on here think.

I don't enjoy the victim sentimentality of their supporters and even worse, the totally over the top reaction of the media...the BBC don't cover other league victories in anywhere near the same way....but I can't begrudge their win, despite it being hard to take.

Sadly, City are now in the Cup Final and I expect them to win it. We can only hope Palace pull out a blinder.

Similar feelings to me, Retro. Yes, we all know their fans are ultra hypocritical victims, and the media love-in is ridiculous, but there’s at least 4 other teams I’d rather not win it. But strange there’s absolutely no mention of LiVARpool or that Van Dyke should have been sent off at least 3 times this season.
Hey- ho, on we go to Tuesday.

I hate the victims* with a passion. Their murder of 39 innocent Italian fans, their drunken no ticket turn up late and charge the turnstiles shit that they still do, in spite of ramming Hillsborough down every one's throats, their sense of entitlement and victim complex. Fucking despise them. :censored:

The only club I hate more are the scum tbh.

But one thing Baldy Sloth's title win has done is shut up idiots on here like Mad Marty Wilson 2.0 and their shithouse whine of "who could replace Arteta, there is no one in world football that could blah blah blah". :roll:

Well, I'd propose this bloke that spent nothing on new players, came in and replaced a cùnt but a well respected by the players cùnt like Herr Stupid Teeth and win the league in his first season could fucking replace Arteta!!! :lol: :roll:

They always been cheating and robbing ever since the eighties, turning up late and rushing the gates, stealing from any shop they can....and amazing its not a minority doing it....total disgrace
As for the Heysel tragedy cannot believe how it was brushed under the carpet just like nothing ever happened
Mostly scum, vermin followers

Ok, some context for my earlier post. :lol:

I did say that I have no time for the victimhood and the associated sentimentality of their supporters and the media. I also make no excuses for their fans and what went on at Heysel, Hillsborough and their general criminality, all the way down to demanding tickets with menaces from supporters attending a game, including their own supporters I believe. Scum behaviour.

My point was that as a football institution, they are a club that has grown and nurtured success organically, not by being a two bob outfit that gets bankrolled overnight by an oligarch or a sovereign state. It's undeniable that they have a long heritage and tradition and there was always great respect between our two clubs and indeed the fans, although it's possible that has changed in recent times, I don't know.

I get that the Irish boys on here might feel things differently, given what appears to be the triangular support dynamic in Ireland of Arsenal, Utd and Liverpool, but while I wouldn't ever cheer the scousers on, I find it more difficult to begrudge them winning things than I do City or the chavs. I didn't always feel that way about City, as we had no real rivalry with them and it was almost a case of a valueless and inevitable victory, because it was bought with limitless wealth, but it's got to the point where they were killing the game.

Oh and the Slot point is very valid. Not an easy job to walk into, especially following in Klopp's footsteps and wins the league, leapfrogging us and City and only spending 10 million on Chiesa, who has hardly played.

Anyway, tin hat firmly on. :lol:

Thank god the league is over as all of our games have been a total and utter borefest for the past few weeks. I was out all over the weekend and haven't seen a hint of the Mickeys celebrations and intend to keep it that way.

I'm highly confident that we'll do PSG home and away and that's the only thing I suspect that has been keeping us going for a while now. We're limping over the line in true Wenger fashion playing in front of apatethic fans for the most part in the PL. If we do go out against PSG then I expect thousands of empty seats for these remaining league games and a return to the late Wenger days

Literally the most boring PL in a long time. Bottom three even more pathetic than last year's, title race (if there ever was one) done and dusted weeks ago, so its now the borefest top 5 race. We will beat Southampton on the final day, so it means we are virtually guaranteed the top 5 spot....especially as some of the remaining games from the chasing pack sees them playing each other e.g. Newcastle v Chelsea, Forest v Chelsea and also some games with very likely dropped points

Sad to say the league has gone back to boring the pants off me

Worst Premier League in history...uncompetitive at the top, uncompetitive at the bottom. Best team always wins the title, but apparently Liverpool have won it without achieving more than four consecutive wins.. If Liverpool 24/25 were put into season 23/24 they would be third.

Well, there's still 4 games to play BWK. They're 7 points behind our total for last season and 9 behind City's, with a possible 12 to play for. To be fair to them, it would be no surprise if their foot came off the gas, as they've already won it.

Yes,but I think they are up there in a less competitive league than last season's...My point is , even though they haven't gone on massive winning streaks, they are achieving what they have in a lower standard of football than last season. I think last season's top two are much better than Liverpool have been this season. Liverpool didn't need to reach the same level of performance to reach an equal(ish) points total
