Danny fucking Mills. Mate, just give up on life pal.

"Danny Mills

Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

Liverpool are getting away with it at the moment. Every game recently has been tight, though some will say that's the sign of champions - to keep winning when not playing well.

In the last 10 games or so I've not seen Liverpool comfortable in more than two matches. That can be a bit of a worry.

But, at the moment, they keep winning, so they will hope they can stumble over the finishing line."

This week it’s Garth Crooks. His team of the week has enough players from Lfc but his little sly digs are enough to piss off the supporters.
On Van Dijk: “Real Madrid and Barcelona must be in frantic talks with their banks about how much it might cost to buy Van Dijk. An audacious bid is bound to happen sooner or later - if it hasn't already.”

On Henderson : “Captain fantastic took to the stage against Southampton and told Jurgen Klopp where he can stick his position on the bench.Personally, I think Henderson has been treated rather harshly with Klopp relegating him to substitute. ”

On Salah : “The Egypt international signalled his comeback with a trademark finish and ripped off his shirt with a defiant stare at the Liverpool fans who dared to doubt him. “




Where do you start with that nonsense 😂

I think I'd just put the BBC sport section as a whole. Just read the write up of our game and there always seems to be sly little digs.

"Salah could have been sent off, but after VAR no foul was given"

"Another nervous first half moment"

"Liverpool failed to find a third goal"

Mills is a piece of shit as well, fact.

Agree with all the Mills shouts. He comes across as bitter and clearly holds a grudge. Crooks is a bit of a harmless idiot, same with Mersin. There’s no real malice there but Mills is just a horrible twat.

Swear down, is it just my tinted glasses here, or do we always get this shit, no matter who the broadcaster or the journo?

If we win 2-0, we always get the "Just couldn't find the 3rd to put the game to bed" or if we win 4-1 it's "Another goal conceded - are Liverpool's defence showing cracks again?" or even a 1-0 has always resulted in "Not playing well" or "Sneaking a win"!

Obviously, the Ev will have you believe that it's the opposite, but they're tin-foil hat wearing hobbits so what do they know.

Yeah, I can't get wound up by Crooks' nonsense as he clearly isn't all there - he chooses players for his team of the week then just talks about their mistakes or how poor they've been. And Merson has the IQ of a squashed ant, so I can't take him seriously as he isn't clever enough to be malicious. Whereas Mills just hates us more than anything, and doesn't apply any kind of rationalisation to his analysis.

I usually only tune in at kick-off and out again straight after the final whistle in order to avoid the ramblings of these pundits.

Just wondering; does anyone have a genuine idea about what Mills' problem is with us? Have we rejected him or offended him in some way in the past? Is he a boyhood Bitter or Manc?

Genuine question, as he's never been on my radar that much and I don't know much about him.

He scored at Anfield for Charlton in a 3-3 draw once. Think he started off at Norwich so maybe hates us for all those Suarez drubbings?

Most likely, as has been pointed out by others in here that his ‘peak’ came at Leeds and us popping them to the final Champions League place in 2001 started their demise that led to them selling all their best players and leaving Mills in the lurch before his career petered out at Middlesbrough and pre oil money City so he probably blames us for what might have been.

Thanks for the reply.

There's not much in there to be so bitter about really. Maybe he's just that kind of guy? People who carry a grudge towards others for their own shortcomings do my head right in.

I thought he just said 'No, it's not Liverpool's fault' - Which was a fairly standard answer to what McManaman said to him. I'm pretty certain he didn't mean it in the way you think he did. 

I'd certainly say let's give him the benefit of the doubt before starting a witch hunt.

Was that a response to the trailer for that BT Sport Two Tribes documentary, those who don't know, it's about the City of Liverpool & the 2 football clubs in the 80s, it's a cracking documentary, & a must watch, it's on BT Sport catch up.

I dunno if he's been mentioned, but here, Clinton Morrison is really hard to listen to. Offers nothing insightful at all any time I've heard him. I got into the car today and on the radio I heard a show with Jim White, Clinton Morrison and I think it was Bob Mills or whatever his name is. Is there any worse combination out there all on at the one time ?

Completely agree. He comes off like a right arrogant twat, trying to fit in with the cool lads. Must be the most unlikeable TV presenter out there. Everything he touches turns to shite.

Yes, Alan Green is excellent, and has been consistently excellent for decades.

I don't need him to be a Liverpool fan, or to always praise Liverpool, or to never criticise Liverpool or to never get anything wrong, as some Liverpool fans seem to need, to know that he has been among the top tier of our sports broadcasters for as long as I can remember.

Peter Drury for me. Ive moved to Australia and the past 2 years its been mostly him and Beglin on commentary.

Jesus Christ hes painful for me - always trying to get a good soundbite or say something clever. I never thought Martin Tyler would be topped for that shit but Drury takes the biscuit.

Even yesterday he was going mad everytime Hazard picked up the ball (also pronouncing it Aidan Azar) waiting for something to happen so he could go over the top with some stupid fuckin superlative.

The man drives me mad.

Even that "famous" video of him commentating when Manolas scored v Barca last year irks me.

Week in week out players like Kane and Vardy do the same thing, no comment. Salah gets kicked from pillar to post, does it once and dicks like this fella are all over it.

It was the same with Suarez.

Crooks with another goodun this morning.  On Lucas Moura’s hat-trick “what unfolded will stay with those who witnessed it for the rest of their lives”.  :o :lmao

It was a routine home win against Huddersfield Town.  They were reasonably good finishes but it’s not like it was hat trick of goal of the season contenders from being 3-1 down. It’s such a very very odd thing to say.
