« Last post by Keith Lard on Yesterday at 11:27:56 pm »Like all of us, I remember vividly where I was and when, I heard the Klopp news.
The fourth such newsworthy event of my life after, Diana dying, Kenny resigning and 9/11.
After a minute of stunned silence my first response was, at least we’ll get Alonso now before anyone else. I’ve maintained that ‘everything will be alright’ stiff upper lip outlook since, even when it became clear Alonso wasn’t coming. I rode the Amorim wave for a while, while it lasted, but, even after that, have still maintained that stiff upper lip.
But right now, I’m sorry bretheren, I’m going to go to bed, pull the covers over my head, and have a little weep.
99% of them are paid mercenaries mate.
Klopp leaving us is heartbreaking because he wasn’t a mercenary. He’s a rare, beautiful breed and now he’s leaving us, and I wish him well. Through football he taught us so much about life and how to handle situations. He’s making the right call to leave.

Slot should have kept his trap shut out of respect for his current supporters.
Says a lot about ones character.
Just speaking what I feel my good sir. As I say, I don’t give a fuck anywayI’m following Jurgen out the door and retiring from all this bullshit.
You’ll be back no doubt, Liverpool moves on. I will miss Klopp immensely, no one can replace him. But I wouldn’t get too bothered about Slot’s comments. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for him and the clubs are already negotiating. Maybe the Feyenoord fans want to hear whether he is thinking of leaving. I mean, Amorim publicly flew in a private jet to go and meet West Ham for fuck sake.

« Last post by Giono on Yesterday at 11:23:28 pm »I really don’t like this. Until the deal is signed and sealed, and both clubs have finished their seasons, nobody should be talking. It’s disrespectful to both fanbases. Jurgen would NEVER have done this.
to be honest I’m close to fucking off footy anyway. I just don’t care that much anymore. I thought I’d have been bothered about the derby, United result and us not winning the league … but I’m not really.
Jurgen gave us magical human moments, and I’ll treasure them. But now, I just don’t care much anymore. It’s actually liberating. This is all stupid, tribal nonsense. It’s all lost meaning or sense.
Jurgen is going...no surprise. We are out of Europe and 1st place race has fizzled.
They just won their cup and their league position is a safe bet.
There is no disrespect to anyone.
We knew we were looking for a replacement months ago. The rumour mill has been a distraction. I'm glad if we wrap this up this week and we can concentrate on Klopp for the remaining few weeks in the season.

Watching the highlights of Feyenoord's 6-0 win over Ajax it's more like Klopp's style than Guardiola's at a tempo that we haven't played at in a while

General Football and Sport / Re: Arsenal: Top of the divers league
« Last post by Banquo's Ghost on Yesterday at 11:18:55 pm »I mean on here, that is what he asked. I don't include social media for example as everyone has fans who are pretty idiotic on there. I don't personally know any Arsenal fans.
I know several from when I worked in London, and they are all decent guys with whom you can talk football enjoyably. I’m still in contact with them.
Two of my subordinate managers were Spurs fans, and one a Chelsea supporter. They were all bellends, hopped up on “banter” - couldn’t hold a sensible conversation about football even with their boss.
No idea why, but now I live in New Zealand, there’s a fair few Spurs supporters here too. They are also exclusively bellends.
I digress. Arsenal deserve the title if not us (and though I deplore the diving, it seems the only way in this league is to be shithouses, because refs don’t give anything for fair play, and how well have the Gunners exploited this) and Arteta has done the difficult thing - built solidly on a failed bid in the previous season.
I agree with what some have written above, the more Abu Dhabi corrupt the league, the more that becomes the norm, and the likelihood of meaningful punishment reduces from almost none to not a chance.
