If you didn’t laugh, you’re taking football too seriously.

We have no probs laughing as he spears other teams week in, week out.

Especially with the #ThisMeansLess jab...

The whole top-down nature of the #ThisMeansMore thing is kind of rah-rah uber-trendy as it is...

I thought it was quite funny, and ultimately pretty accurate...

I agree, always disliked that slogan since it popped up.

Yeah. To be honest, the club (and fans too) sometimes make me cringe - and that campaign is a perfect example, along with ‘rise up’ and ‘hold nothing back’. Doesn’t make me less of a fan or anything. You have to be able to laugh at yourself from time to time.

Oh that's IT......your name is in the envelope now. For certain.

As you say, there's some bumps in the road, laugh em off

Exactly! I'm actually honestly surprised people outside of our support even know that slogan exists.

It's totally fair enough having a jab at that, I think, and the way he did it is really witty.

Exactly. It's like South Park, it only works if everyone is fair game and whatever your view of Klopp's decision this week, it is open to piss-taking. It's not his job to conduct a thorough journalistic review of the LFC vs PL vs FA situation, he's a cartoonist gently taking the piss out of us.

If you're a big club you're a big target. The guy is a Swindon Town fan. Not at all surprising that he would share the view of many small clubs which is deeply unsympathetic to our position given the disparity in size and resources between ourselves and clubs in League One or League Two.

The difference is Klopp played his whole career in the lower leagues and also managed in them. He has been consistent in calling out all organisations for being too greedy whether that is Uefa, the FA or the Premier League.

Its bullshit that people can't respect players health just because they earn loads of money.

Robinred · « **Reply #1056 on:** February 4, 2020, 03:05:10 pm »

The whole piece is a reference to English nationalism and English exceptionalism: Francois in chainmail; the notion that there’s a comeback in the offing for Jim Davidson now casual racism is back; Johnson taking orders from Cummings. Just brilliant.

I'm not usually a huge fan of his comic strips but that one is excellent. Maybe one for the political thread but the graffitied house in the 'rule nostalgia!' frame is spot on. My pet peeve is people getting all misty eyed over those "simpler times" when they were utterly shit for a lot of us.

I like that the Premier League lion in the first panel has a knotted hankie on his head and is wearing sunglasses.

Honestly finding his whole "The Premier League are prima donnas" / "The EPL clubs are the real heart and soul of football, no matter how ineptly they are run" shtick to be getting tiresome at the stage. It's very fucking Daily Mail.

That said but Roy the Rocker and Dyche screaming at the universe are excellent.
