@GagsTandon You may be right in your overall assessment of Slot, but don't compare him to Rodgers. Slot won a title in his first season and deserves enough respect to not be compared to that spoofer.
Not having this discourse that the Premier League’s physical and mental exertions mean conservative football has to be a given when we’ve actually experienced the opposite. The style is absolutely a choice.
Manchester City and Liverpool were involved in the most exacting, no-margin-for-error title races but still played ridiculously good football. Pochettino’s Tottenham were a marvel too.
The 2018-19 Champions League was one for the ages:
Tottenham 4-4 Man City quarter-final
The Spurs 3-3 Ajax semi
CORNER TAKEN QUICKLY in the most insane comeback
What about the intensity of that LFC-MCFC quarter-final in 2017-18? And Liverpool beating Roma SEVEN! - SIX! in the semis.
2021-22: Chelsea 4-5 Real Madrid, Benfica 4-6 Liverpool, City 5-6 Real Madrid
The list goes on.
For so long it was held against both PSG and Bayern that they wilted when it mattered in the Champions League because their domestic seasons were a walkover. They didn’t have tough games to prime them. We can’t pick and choose narratives when it suits.
Man’s girlfriend is very annoyed that the free press she champions, despite having emigrated to a dictatorship without one, is investigating her boyfriend for stuff she says people who aren’t her boyfriend, like Angela Rayner, should resign over.
FSG are looking at football as one part of their investment portfolio. If cash is required for LFC, it eats into the allocation for any other clubs/purchases. That lack of certainty is almost certainly a factor in weighing up new acquisitions.
On all the #LFC MCO talk about it being shelved, one point is conspicuous by its absence in the commentary: LFC are in real danger of missing out on CL income this year and FSG probably have to consider the possibility of injecting cash should that be the case.
We’re now going to see a sickening display of the media and football establishment giving him all the plaudits in leaving that they couldn’t bring themselves to give him whilst he was here.
Fuck them. Best in the world and he was ours and we always knew.
This is a blatant lie.
In July 2024, the energy cap was £1,568. It's now £1,641. Bills have gone up under this Prime Minister.
The £117 he talks about has just been moved from your energy bill to your tax bill.
And yet he claims he’s saving us money. It’s outrageous.
BREAKING NEWS:⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
Haringey Council have confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur’s fire safety certificate has been renewed for another 12 months after observing the perfect and prompt evacuation of their stadium in the 81st minute of their game against Arsenal today.
@MiguelDelaney@olvrlstr Sorry this is a bit patronising. The subsequent comment - whilst caveating that the scale is not the same - pointed out that Emirates and Rwanda are also to an extent sportswashing. You appeared to dispute this on ownership grounds and this where the confusion emanates from.
