In other words “ Klopp has spoken “…

AlargeClaret

The biggest surprise was coming back to a thread I’d started and finding it with balanced sensible debate !!! Though the noble exception being “He has it in his contract that if he’s fit he plays” :lol: not to mention the same rumour guy stating Cork /Anass out of favour … does he have any update on...

While I seriously hope we keep both , could their seemingly endless absence/bench/few mins here and there be a precursor for loan deals ? Like most, I had high hopes for these 2 and while I get wingers are always a bit “ in and out” They both appear well out of favour . We’ve no shortage of wingers ...

Everyone’s favourite cheeky , cherubic faced urchins at it again…

AlargeClaret

The home crowd have had half a season to create an atmosphere building up to the KO and failed miserably. Why not try something different? Quite right , though the almost unimaginable dross we’ve served on the pitch hardly bodes for any particular match day anticipation. As per previous it’s not th...

AlargeClaret

It’s surprising with all these wonderful players we have that we find ourselves almost cut adrift at the bottom reaches of the prem with 9? home defeats . While SB scored a great goal at Fulham and certainly has his moments ,as a prem midfielder he appears distinctly average .

AlargeClaret

It’s not so much the track itself ( which is excellent) it’s the almost mind boggling playing literally until the KO therefore completely killing the build up atmosphere. It’s the sort of thing you’d expect at a US college NFL game . Do the club think it strikes fear into the opposition ? Cringewort...

‘Child prodigy’ christ there is some utter guff posted on here at times!!!!!

He had similar profile and club trajectory as Pickford who was earmarked about 8. Few grow tall enough , have 2 good feet , outstanding plyometric stats and the dedication though .

AlargeClaret

I took your post as meaning ‘he is (right now) a child prodigy’ That’s interesting to know and I’ll give you that - though I’d have expected that ‘most’ English players playing right now in the PL were being monitored as youngsters. Interestingly, our now 2nd choice backup did enough as a child to ...

AlargeClaret

Agreed here. ‘Child prodigy’ comment is a little embarrassing - I mean, he’s 21 and has over 100 games of Professional Men’s Footy under his belt. Dean Henderson had less hype and arguably had a better debut season (so far) in the Premier League at pretty much the same age. Let’s just calm down a b...

Trafford was perfectly good from when he started playing for us, he’s simply been busy recently with a few shots that have been stoppable . His feet are good and today a good but better than arguably one of the worlds best keepers Allison .He’s a child prodigy and starting to get the experience hd n...

AlargeClaret

We’re very slowly but surely turning the wheels a little . We’ve a full strength squad and a bit of positivity up front , Oderbert looking good , Foster back etc . We’ll need to stay strong and start picking up home points . We’re a touch better than the bottom group and 2 good signings could just s...

She had probs one of the easiest games you could have with almost zero contentious issues .

I wonder what the star rating is of our esteemed match day” in ground” food outlets ? Let’s hope for everyone’s sake it’s a lot better than the offerings themselves .

Sounds absolutely horrific tbh , though let’s face it this was never going away. The same “ super clubs “and their greedy owners who wanted it ( and plenty who pretended they didn’t ) will be salivating at the prospect . The first attempt was always an optimistic “ feel of the tit” move ,knowing ful...

If you continually compare against men then there would never be any female winners. You need to look at someone’s performance within their sport. Previous winners like Paula Radcliffe and Kelly Holmes couldn’t beat the best men I’d love to see Joey try and score 100/100 against Mary Earls by the w...

Pretty meaningless

In the scheme of a fairly long standing prem club, yes exactly that . That we had money and great players and momentum
made it good fun, but the club needs to compete with best , not be whimsical about our 4th promo in 12? yrs from the 2nd flight .

Long as you don’t shake the chefs hand you’ll be reet.

Well it was certainly a diverse line up with Balders,Scott,Logan and Gary Linekar covering the BBC's most cherished bases. Just had a skip through it and while it aint what it used to be with the beeb having so little Sport,it's a harmless enough back slapping smugfest. It attempts to cover both wom...

The vast majority of “ big clubs “ do get tickets in our ends but always seem to manage to keep their heads down ( as you do in such situations) The exceptions being those cheeky blameless, selfless ,cherubic like urchins from the other end of the M62.

You’d need to drink 10 pints just to break even wouldn’t you ? That’s some going. One of the very few fixtures I’d liken to a BFC v B@stards fa cup fixture where they have to give a big allocation but would likely ban alcohol , early ko, travel restrictions and do all they could to kill the atmosphe...

The media are beyond shocking in their hounding of refs ,especially if it’s a “ big 6” type club with a contentious decision ,think of the howling petulance of a Klopp,Arteta backed up by the inane rantings of a Keane ,Neville or Carragher calling for the head of the hapless Ref ,who can only make a...

They’re certainly with him at present as are most fans , though like any club there will be squabbles and perhaps 1 or 2 frustrated players like Roberts?? Zaroury ? . Though let’s be realistic if this disaster continues to Jan , I feel almost sick typing out our home record 1-8 , players will get ve...

There weren't 500 tickets released close to the game. That was spread by an Everton fan saying that they'd been given an additional 550 tickets late last week, which obviously they hadn't. Maybe they were referring to our own unsold tickets and /or ticket exchange ? Whichever , they certainly manag...

Appears on Twitter that pretty much anyone could get a ticket in the home end with over 500 tickets being released close to the game ? All the comments (which don’t appear to be dickheads) are on the thread where the vid on here was posted .

Trafford 5 -1 great save , slow to react ( maybe ) on 2nd Vitinho 4- shouldn’t be anywhere near starting O’Shea 5- back up level at best Beyer 5- try’s hard but takes a bit to recycle balls Delcroix 5- good feet but looks miles off JBL 5- lively but little service Brownhill 4- a real off today for h...

Pretty sure Alex Scot most definitely speaks in a regional accent , it’s that London English patois that I’m sure about 20/30% of Londoners ,certainly black and people of colour speak in .Though AS has a more polished version . I’m sure it’s even officially now recognised as a dialect as well .

While the BBC is generally quite poor and agonisingly woke these days it’s not as dreadful as those “ cancel the licence fee” loons who also seem obsessed with cash payments and Covid conspiracies.

AlargeClaret

Lineker’s an excellent sports host, Wright is incredibly poor and bizarrely always makes me think of someone doing an over the top impression of a black man .

AlargeClaret

The sheer child like naivety of the “ it’s ok for away fans in the home end “ brigade is quite staggering . Imagine 20+ BFC fans in the home end at Everton /Liverpool , they’d be ejected amongst ( understandable) uproar from fans around them and no doubt punches thrown .The very same apologists woul...

I’ve really bought into VK’s experiment but it’s looking like 100m down the drain . We’re so poor it’s almost beyond belief , we’re offering nothing and defensively we’re shocking . Missed Taylor and really need Ekdal and a proper right back .

Freddy Mercury had mountains of cocaine carried about on trays strapped to the heads of dwarves at parties.

I presume you're deliberately misrepresenting my post and the article, neither of which say he is far right.

I feel like if Joey Barton tweets sympathy to Andrew Tate, then to Jordan Peterson, then pivots to a career of "women are bad" it's really fair to say he's doing a far right thing. Let me know if that's wrong. So agreeing with a Peterson tweet is a “ far right thing “? so therefore he must be far r...

Surely can’t be 15yrs since we had a black ref??? Though apart from old Uriah Rennie not many come to mind .

Good to see a woman getting the gig though if genuinely no
