  1. We need to be careful here. In my experience, when fans start to refer to players by their 1st names, they are 1) an actual acquaintance of said individual or 2) in a deluded state of euphoria that is associated with another "club" I'd rather not mention. 🤭
  2. Yes. You are spot on. Didn't hear him mouth too much about Fleetwood Town when comparing the gap between them at the bottom to the rest of that League? Can you imagine. The PQ CSC will have to order in more Kleenex with a Quadruple winning captain in their midst! Paddy and wee Liam will be creaming themselves.
  3. Absolutely spot on. The pies are honking and I don't like Bovril.
  4. You are absolutely spot on. I live on Tyneside, the hype over this side is unbelievable. When they qualified for CL their fans were sure they would go at least to semi's, but probably not make the final until Munich in 2025! FFS! They punched well above their weight to get a CL place last season and reach a LC final. They were mauled at Anfield last night. Liverpool xG 7.1, highest ever in EPL. Profligacy in front of goal (Nunez in particular) and amazing keeping kept the score down. At FT, cue Whats App meltdown over "2nd penalty (very soft granted) and Klopp's a cheat but little to be said about how they rode their luck for the vast majority of the match. Howe's job's safe. He's done well to haul them from the bottom to safety. It's their fans that are getting carried away by unrealistic expectation.
  5. Has this thread not gone a bit off track. Transfer Rumours & Deals? More about drummers and players from the the 60's! WTF? Bah Humbug!
  6. Yes indeed. But isn't it nice to picture them quietly stewing in their own bile!
  7. The thing is by the time we play at Hampden, it will be 2 games in hand. The Mhanks play Hertz at the Brendabau on the Saturday!
  8. Are you not always banging on about our over inflated wage bill.? So on paper £60m beats £5m every time? I see PC is now a CL experienced multi trophy winning man of stature? Last week he was a clueless loser! Of course it's evenly matched. A tight pitch, good home crowd, a manager desperate to get one over on his old club, another game just 3 days on from last and don't forget, as you are always quick to tell us , ours is a team of bottlers and serial losers! Yes, it's all about opinions!
  9. So. Let me get this right. After a possible season defining 12 games in 37 days which ends at home to Kilmarnock on 2/1/24, we are playing a meaningless friendly 2 weeks later? Why? Had a quick brainstorm with the cat and we came up with these possibilities:- To fleece more money out of the fans after CL & EL games? To ensure players are "match fit" for the 2nd half of the season? (or all injured for the rest of it!) To put "available for sale" players in the shop window? Copenhagen plays a similar style of football to Dumbarton to be tip top shape for Scottish cup match? Kemar Roofe comeback appearance guaranteed? (or your entrance fee refunded) Big Phil's opportunity to showcase our winter transfer newbies from Saudi Pro League (eg Ronaldo, Jota, & Henderson (as new captain resplendent with LGBT armband) Can somebody seriously outline the benefits of this other than another "competitive" (really?) game?
  10. OK. I'll take a bow to your 40 + years experience and leave it there.
  11. if you actually read them properly you will see i care, my eyes are open, i don't wear blue tinted specs, i don't do blind faith, i don't do bullshit or everything is rosy nonsense. I do cold hard honest truths and facts. If it's good i say it is. If it's bad i say it is. Just because my opinion is perceived as negative or I thought he was cleverer and i thought he was more ruthless. He wasn't anywhere near as angry, or proactive or even reactive as i would expect him to be. It really felt like, he didn't get it. It feels like he thinks we can drop points and still win titles. doesn't mean i'm wrong. I'm passionate and i care I thought he was cleverer and i thought he was more ruthless. He wasn't anywhere near as angry, or proactive or even reactive as i would expect him to be. It really felt like, he didn't get it. It feels like he thinks we can drop points and still win titles. Well, I respect your passion. What I cannot reconcile is what particular insight you have on Clement's anger, reactive or protectiveness. He has been in post barely 6 weeks. He has reiterated his desire between, now and January window, to evaluate the current squad. He has stressed the fact there would be bumps in the road through this period. I think he won all the games in tenure with the exception of 2 drawn matches. He has inherited a beleaguered squad of players with a horrendous injury record. The points margin to Celtic remains roughly the same. We are now at the end of November. How makes you think "he doesn't get it"? What makes you believe he isn't clever? Or ruthless? I don't recall him making any pronouncements about winning the title this season. That ship may have already sailed but I cannot understand how that falls to the failing of this manager? I repeat, I respect your passion, but my feeling is it is boiling over into one long tedious rant. Nae offence!
