I think Carragher tries to be neutral and objective.
But he just cannot maintain it. His bias and emotional attachment to Liverpool always win out.
Then he just comes across as another bitter resentful Dipper choking on their cornflakes.

Still prefer Carragher to Neville. Who always come across as a sly, snidey, slimy, snake pushing his agenda while hiding behind a mask of pretend professionalism.

Football media getting giddy over MU. 'Are MU title contenders' has now entered the conversation. Along with Ten Bob winning a trophy in his first season. I know it is being hyped because they are playing us next, but still it is a bit far fetched - correct? I mean they are absolute dog shit - correct?

Until you apply chilling cold hard facts.

If they beat us (and that is not a big if after last night's first half performance) then they are one point behind us. So if we think we can win the league, then it is reasonable for them to think they can also?

Yet, MU as title contenders sounds absolutely ridiculous. But is it?

The notion of them being shit is long gone, they are massing points and cannot be dismissed. They are title contenders as things stand, however they will fall short, they lack a potent no9.

We should beat them if we turn up, no formation experiments and players out of positions.

"In the last press conference it was @JamieJackson___, my friend, and he said why did you make a sub 87 mins against Everton? I took notes, I thought about him at half-time and I changed it at half-time."



I love the sarcasm. Like he listens to cretins and then makes his mind up.

I bet the cretins think he actually does. Like they're teaching him how to be the best Manager in the world

Love Pep when he rolls out the sarcasm. More of it please. What we saw last night from him was one of the few times during his reign when he had the balls to change his tactics in game. He set us up as he expected chelsea to play 5 at the back. I give him grief when he drops bollocks but he changed it for the better. Fine margins but I hope he continues to be flexible / ruthless when we need him to be

Don’t know Jamie Jackson? Is he another bent rag/scouse journo?

That question has legs, is something we often point out here about his subs and I get the sarcasm, but it feels the type when you point out something and they refuse to see it.
(In fairness he did it with chavs)

But if Jackson is a cunt, then all is clear.

Agreed and just about everyone (apart from one cretin ) on this site will agree .

Behind his sarcasm he will know himself that he has not been great at tactical changes in many games .

Hopefully this will change his mindset as those changes changed the game - that’s how it’s supposed to go isn’t it .

He will not be in a hurry back either. IMO he has the hump (and a few others as well) with FSG because they gave Salah the extra money.
As soon as tFSG did that for one player, all the other players knew they had been played by FSG. Morale and togetherness takes a nose dive.
Then FSG put Liverpool up for sale, looking for a profit in the £Billions If I was a top Liverpool player I would feel cheated.

Re VVD being injured. The media were telling us last year that this team and squad were phenomenal and that Liverpool's transfer policy was similar.
They spot diamonds, buy them cheaply , coach them and pay them a just wage and they have two top top players for every position.

Therefore, VVD should not be missed, according to (last year's) media.

Savic at it again, throwing an elbow at Torres, grabbing his cock and then getting him in a headlock.

What a weird character he is.

Rags pretending they’re now not going to pay anyone over £200k a week They’ve got players like De Gea on about £350k with years left. Absolute muppets.

[Mase]

Looks like Southampton are trying to poach Jason Wilcox. They’ve tried to buy half our academy so makes sense.

Love the way the Glazers are selling this latest cost cutting exercise '...Ronaldo Rule...' and dressing it up like a master stroke from Ten 'I take no shit from players' Bob.

Meanwhile, Sancho, Varane, Casemiro, etc... all on significantly more than £200K a week.

I call it the Liverpool syndrome, top players are going to join MU for £200K a week because of the honor and the history of that great club.....like Mane and Salah at the Dippers......

This came through today.

So Qatar, the PSG owners, want to invest in a PL club. At the moment Dippers and MU are up for sale or heavy investment. Spurs desperately need investment.
Qatar, corruption, human rights abuses, etc... go hand in hand, out there in the open since their successful WC bid.
Very tempered responses from the media so far re Qatar potential investment in the PL. No outrage, no rants, no critism, no lead headlines, etc... blasting Qatar. Especially when compared to the reaction when Newcastle were in play. Gary and Jamie have gone quiet as well I think? I assume the media 'sitting on the fence' is because one of their big earners, Dippers or MU (or Spurs), could attract Qatar's $$$$.
If that happens, watch the media spin a silk purse from a sow's ear.

Hope they don't go for spuds.
Rags or scouse owned by the evil Arab empire would be such good entertainment.

To be fair, there are lots of differences.

Qatar 'human rights abuses' are many times worse in Saudi, a country 10x the population, it's a massively repressive society (despite reforms). Qatar is quite the player politically for it's size and generally go about things, much like the AD regime, in a fairly classy/understated way and obey the first rule of international order - don't get caught doing stupid shit like dismembering journalists in foreign countries.

I was pretty impressed by the way the Qataris didn't rise to any of the media provocation during the world cup

QSI are also well known for being good owners/benefactors of PSG, wheras the saudi regime is an unknown quantity

There's perhaps also a dawning realisation, that middle-east sovereign funds are far better owners for our sports institutions than pretty much any other ownership model given their long term objectives.

There is a new narative that is out there and getting “attention”: after failing to score for 3 games, apparently we were a better than without Haaland.
