Why only the premiership for all the comparisons?

Because we are discussing RA and the PL!

RA woke other clubs up? What did they need waking up from, exactly? If waking clubs up seen clubs overspend/overreach like Leeds, Pompey who both nearly go bust. Derby at the moment. Its one of the reasons that greed/money/finance/owners/sponsorship deals/kit deals/shirt sales/transfer fees are the big talking points now, and less so the football itself.
The PL was absolutely dominated by Utd and RA broke that up, to compete other teams needed to step up.
LPool were the biggest spenders in 8 of the first 10 years of PL and yous won nowt!

Leeds was pre RA, Pompey had a crook in charge and Derby are irrelevant to the discussion. Shall we mention Bury and blame RA for everything!

Once the worlds best started coming to the PL the PL took off and every Club benefitted from TV money

The more money that has gone into football as seen it lose its soul even more.
Totally agree, but that horse has bolted and whining on about the “good old days” is a waste of time.

Don't give me that debt-free rubbish. A 1.5 billion blank cheque was written.
Still debt free, whether we like it or not.

We should be thankful for him - My God, that has got to be some of the worse drivel I've ever read on here.
Read the post, that is not what I said

Its less a sport and now a billionaire/state sponsored willy waving contest.
And your Club is one of the worst, if it bothers you that much, walk away.

See above and then read the last line of post #23992

Only two types - and what do you base this on?

Maybe there are a 3rd. Its hard to criticise jurgen as he has crafted, possibly, our best ever 20+ player squad, or at least when all fit. I'm also in favour of us building up our infrastructure and more importantly our ground, as it is long overdue. This they deserve credit for. They deserve criticism for the furlough, price increases attempted and the ESL. However, they also could and should have given the manager more money at times in the last 2-3 years. Its fortunate we have the best manager in the prem.

So that’s the second fan ? The one that wanted to see more money being spent ?‍

And as the club is self sufficient where does the “more money” come from ? Surely with FSGs wealth being “asset” based it would need to be bank loans. The manager ( well recruitment team including Klopp ) have on many occasions been clear that they are happy with the recruitment and backing ?

And “fortunate” ? Or the club getting the right man in for the job ? Along with the right recruitment team.

In one post talking about RA and money ruining the game and then in another stating that we should have spent more ? ?‍

Would you take a sound spanking from the mousers...trousers down, six of the best, by fielding a severely weakened team, giving us the best chance of getting a result in Seville?

Tbh if Moyes admitted to Ralph Hasenhutle that Southampton Reserves beat us cos “this was the difference because you could bring on the fresh, good players,” then he must have already conceded the hammering at Anfield already.
And if the players have seen the article as well they probably have too…

the team turns out strong as it can be however i cant see anything but defeat with this being an unnecessary 90 mins for antonio who looks broken.

wheres that checking club badge var thing again

good to see 2 fouls in close succession from west ham is only 1 yellow card, why under the letter of the law arent both players booked?

 

[Deleted member 21784]

Jota really is a dirty little coward

Lucky to be on pitch

 

[fundy]

proper snidey foul from Jota that one

 

[Deleted member 15344]

That was a hard earned win , Moyes certainly sets up his team well and West Ham blew some great chances , Antonio is a superb player. 3 points in the bag

felt rather fortunate, the goal is off side at the other end (wheres me VAR jpeg lol) and West Ham missed a couple of sitters to level things up

may be a big 3 points come the end of the season for sure (Diazs injury for City a big blow for them and may open the door in the coming weeks)

Why is it offside at the other end ?‍

Both the lines where on the players sleeve ?

Well dug out win for Liverpool. Keeps City honest and makes the derby tomorrow even more interesting in terms of the title and racks the pressure up

 

[Deleted member 21784]

Felt it could / should have been more for Liverpool but same time we missed 2 big big chances

On balance the correct result

Pleased with the performance, disappointed losing Bowen. That could be huge

Wouldn't say we missed rice as much as feared (wouldn't want to lose him for any longer but we can play without him if needed)

Jota is a disgusting little player. Very talented which is even more annoying. Another son type. Skillful, good player but with a snide streak that isn't needed

Time of the month hun?

It was a tactical foul and a yellow card, well within the laws of the game.

“Disgusting player” ?

Took a foul for the team to stop a quick break for a correct yellow card and his first for the season

As opposed to Dawson who should have had 3/4 yellows out there - how he got away with the second yellow with the studs on Manes Achilles I’ll never know

Bowen a superb player - should be with England along with Antonio

 

[Deleted member 1740]

Good result, should've had the game wrapped up sooner though.

I thought the 1 season wonder had Kuyt's boots on today, he couldnt finish his dinner??‍

Keita was brilliant.

 

[Crazyface]

Mansfield are going well, as are Macc Town. Lucky Wycombe as I didn't bet on them so they duly won.
