Did you not find it very funny when the lads used to post âthatâs top six secured by Slot on a shoestring budgetâ when they were around 8 points clear in March? I used to be chuckling away at the posts. Very amusing stuff.

@Arthur is most disappointed by the trajectory of Evan Fergusonâs career. He thought he was a nailed on superstar.
I watched the United game on Saturday. Very tough viewing. The manager is lucky Ratcliffe has a thing for him.
An institution. Itâs important to note the reaction of actual scousers like Paddy the Baddie here too. Heâs seething with Trent. Jamie Carragher has to put on a balanced look for the TVâs but you can tell heâs perplexed by the decision. Iâd say being around Liverpool has been very intense for Trent since the news broke in March.
I havenât watched the epl in 2 months. Itâs beyond boring.
Pep has destroyed football and every ape trying to copy him. Itâs all sideways and backwards. Jordan Henderson way ahead of his time and would have wrapped up every player award if he was still in the league.
VAR hasnât helped either. Itâs shocking. Looking at a lad brushing someoneâs toe in slow motion and awarding a peno. Or the offside by 2 millimetres and it takes them 8 minutes to decide it.
Iâm undecided on Slot. Won a very handy league but you can only bate whatâs in front of you., but they were beyond boring after Christmas and very hard to watch⌠pre Christmas they were very reminiscent of Klopp - hunted in packs all over the field. Iâm hoping the drop off was him not having the players and legs going rather than him getting his true style across after Christmas. Because that shit is woeful.
Youâve let the hurling talk seep into football talkâŚgo back ta fuck!!!
Anyone see the Mateta disallowed goal yesterday? This is the perfect test case to show why Var and offside rule need to go.
Iâm not sure about that. The reduction in intensity was very obvious in the first-half of the season. The only times I can think of where they went full Klopp was the second-half v Brighton, the first 20 mins v City and the second-half at Ipswich. Maybe the counter-attack goals v Villa as well. That aside they were playing a very measured style. Iâd say since Christmas theyâve actually been more porous at the back and havenât exerted as much control over games. Itâs hard to keep doing that when thereâs an unassailable lead too I suppose.
There was certainly a much more group approach to recovering the ball. That eased off significantly. Teams twigged how to press gravel head early also and took him out of games. He was a big part of the pre Christmas form. He wonât do in that role moving forward.
Iâm hoping a few signings will bring a bit more chaos to proceedings⌠that post Christmas fare was dirge and Slot can fuck right off if thatâs his stall now laid out.
The 40 points mark schtick was very funny as well. Not quite belly laughs but extremely funny. Particularly when 5 or 6 of them repeated it over and over. Youâd think it was stale but quite the opposite.
You can see Liverpool winning the league in glorious style is hurting some lads very badly.
'Tis all coming out now.
United lowering the blade in a serious way away to Chelsea
Never. Not. Funny.
They should null and void that Joe McDonagh final on Wednesday. Give the Champions League spot to Al Nassr

Great stat
They might bring in a top 8 rule after this tbh
It is ridiculous whatâs going on. Ratcliffe voted for Brexit.
Youâd a fella here who said Big Jim was going to assemble the Oceanâs 11 of sports science and finance nerds to sort it all out

Give it Stuart Ripley til end o season
Theyâd be 15 odd points better off with a back 4. That is the worrying thing. I called for the back 3, but it doesnât work and you canât press with it. Theyâre trying to copy Inter Milan, but it doesnât work.
