God imagine all you melters if we were Liverpool.

New manager.
No new signings
Number one target told us to fuck off.
Three key players contracts expiring in a year
Season starts in 4 days.

:klinsmann:
Who gives a shit about Liverpool. We’re miles behind them.

If I told you back in May that we’d start next season with the exact same starting 11 save for solanke over richarlison you’d have quite rightly thrown a hissy fit.
 
That may be, but doesn't speak to my point. He's not one of the 3 best attackers in the world. If he was, there's no way Madrid, PSG, City, etc. couldn't figure out an amount of money that would convince him to leave his hometown. I have 30+ years of football history which informs that opinion.
He's on a huge wage, happy, wanted another year playing with his brother and reports are his agent made it clear he wasn't leaving Spain. So yeah he will stay there a year before moving to Barca because that's what he wants to do.

If he's still there next year without an approach you would have a point. If only I could think of another player in the past 30 years who was a top striker in his position and wasn't approached :kanehand:
 
Carrying a bit yourself, pal?
Nope, I'm 63.5kg, thanks for asking. :)

And don't get me wrong, I'm inclined to moan about 'fatties' getting in my way on stairways etc myself, so I admit I'm being a bit of a hypocrite there. But it's so bizarre to see a supposed SUPPORTER of our club attacking OUR MANAGER for 'carrying a bit'. Incredibly strange behaviour for someone who professes to support our club... :/

EDIT: Not sure this is of any interest to anyone, but I found it funny: When I had my autism assessment years ago, one of their findings (in a very lengthy report, about 6 pages it was) they said I appeared to have a 'phobia of overweight people'. Which is true. But not when their weight has nothing to do with me, such as when they are managing my football club. 😂

Only RW is at all up for grabs. If I had told you 2 places would be upgraded you’d be delighted but if only 1 then we throw a hissy fit?

Supporting the club doesn’t mean you can’t be critical of the staff ffs. What are your thoughts on Joe Lewis? Fine, upstanding and principled man of the community? Or speculative, tax avoiding criminal, greedy locust?

Joe Lewis's business dealings could be seen to be relevant to his financial dealings with our football club, so that's a valid conversation to have. I fail to see what Ange's weight has to do with anything of that nature. By all means say he is naive or stubborn or whatever, but calling him childish names based on his weight is just... well... childish.
 
EVERYONE in here wants spurs to challenge for top trophies.

Stop the paddling silly lies to suit agendas it’s boring and tbh quite childish
