    Fair play Atalanta. Looks like they didn’t receive the memo from the mainstream media about toeing the line and fitting in with the vomit-inducing narrative about “Klopp’s farewell tour”. Good on them.

    It's still c̶h̶e̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ being clever in both cases.

    Saka trailing his leg and looking for the contact was exactly the same as what Harvey Elliot did against Man U at the weekend.

    As I mentioned in a previous post, I used to completely agree with this sort of viewpoint. But I learned it was futile and that in the longer term would make me unhappier and only having the effect of spoiling my enjoyment. I'm far happier taking the view that when my team is on the receiving...

    Causing significant life injuries isn't the bar they set for violent conduct though is it? So while I get the point you're making and where you're coming from, that view is sort of irrelevant. It doesn't matter whether someone does a flying karate kick to the face, or a wimpy punch to the...

    Not gonna happen. I used to agree with you about this sort of play acting. Hated it. But I've been told by many others on many occasions that this is all part of the game now, so I embrace it. It is not going to change. So, with that in mind, Ryan Yates was clever to go down like he did. It is...

    Well yeah. I mean, that’s why I said “That’s football fans for you”. 🤷‍♂️

    Just hilarious that Man U fans are whingeing all over Twitter that the first penalty was a dive, with barely any contact….yet earlier in the season when Rashford did EXACTLY the same against Forest, it was a stonewall penalty! 🤣🤣🤣 Still, that’s football fans for you isn’t it?!

    Not buying that as an excuse, sorry to your son. Klopp has been a top level manager for how many years now? And dealt with how many reporters and their questions in that time? With all that experience, if he can't deal with a "loaded" question like this (which wasn't even that "loaded" to be...

    Can't disagree with that summary. Much as it pains me to say, if we can't outperform Luton by a couple of points at this stage of the season, we don't deserve stay up.

    Well 4 points. Could have been better, could have been worse. Hopefully reduced on appeal.

    The man truly is odious. Sure, he's all cuddly-wuddly, flashing his pearly whites and being gracious and humble when he wins or when things are otherwise going his way. The second he's unhappy though, the mask comes off, the true snake in the grass beneath is revealed and the toys get chucked...

    Don’t believe a word of this absolute guff from Aztecs27, everybody. Murillo is absolutely awful. He won’t be going anywhere any time soon.
