Wow!

 

LOL somebody piss in your cornflakes Rob?

 

I'm going to look out the window and puzzle over the universe.



And bitch that we could have had Werner too.

 

I want what he’s sniffing.

 

A great day ruined by the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Regardless of your politics, RBG should be recognized and respected as a great legal mind, largely unencumbered by purely partisan biases. So, alphabet soup: RIP RBG, YNWA.

 

erm ... what?

 

RBG's death is a real tragedy on many levels, and throws the whole election into even more of a dog's breakfast knife fight.

if any of the bible-thumpers were in fact cooling on President Batshit, will they now rush back?

will Moscow Mitch's insistence on being the Most Hypocritical Prick in the World push more undecideds over to Biden?

 

Twenty twenty won ???

 

oh.

dear.

 

Well played sir.

THIS is the President. Think about it.

Yesterday would have been when Wiesn starts and the guy reenacted the sad Narcos scenes in traditional Tracht. Thought it would fit in the "what a shitty year" topic

 

For football fans, this genuinely is the downside of the internet. There're always idiots who, despite appearances and performances, and the fact that they are amateurs, know better than the professionals. It happens every transfer window.

Prior to the signings of Thiago and Jota, how many read that FSG were only in it for the money, that they didn't know how to run a football club, that they were letting the fans down? Despite a League title and a CL the season before; despite having one of the best teams and squads in Europe (Atletico notwithstanding); despite having the best manager in the world; despite having one of the best transfer teams and value spotters in the world. Yes, these guys know everything. And the quickest easiest thing to shout is "FSG Out!" Probably because they're American, not local. Yet there's every reason to believe that FSG are one of the shrewdest owners in world football. That's the problem with the internet - everyone has a platform and thinks their opinions vital. (Including Samarkand!).

I think it was on these boards where - to be fair, an outsider - some f*ucking muppet came on here towards the back end of last season, proclaiming the only way for Liverpool to survive was to cash in on Salah and Mane now! because that'd be the best way to rebuild and in a year or three they'd be too old to extract enough value to allow rebuilding. Anything more needs be said about this pearl of wisdom?

The truth of the matter is that as a fan, I don't always agree with transfers, in and out, but usually the professionals, on and off the field, show their worth, especially Edwards and FSG.

I was distraught when we sold Torres, huge mistake etc. and yet in retrospect it was a fantastic piece of business because he was never the same player after his injury. Chelsea didn't know that and neither did we the fans. Sure there have been a few transfers that a blind man could see would be awful and were bad. Balotelli? Selling Sterling was a mistake, but then again, LFC's hand was absolutely forced so the best interests of the club were served by extracting maximum value.

But, by and large, these transfer mistakes have all occurred either early in the FSG reign, when they were still learning, or under other regimes. The frustration is that the idiot in-the-knows are always with us and they always know so much more than the club and the professionals and in the PL era hark back to a club ethos and era that has never existed before. We know better because Ray Houghton was a good signing and John Aldridge once scored a goal. 35 years ago.

Last summer the sky was also falling. We signed no one of note so therefore we were bound for failure. Until we won the league. One would have thought that should have been enough for the idiots, but like herpes, they'll always be with us and every bit as useful.

 

Excellent point. A cousin and his wife are drinking the QAnon kool-aid. Christ, do they have the dumb!

 

I've got a guy I play indoor with who believes all that Q bullshit. It would be hilarious if it wasn't terrifying.

 

I also have a cousin that believes the Qanon crrap. Because YouTube videos must be right.
