Oh god the Chelsea game is so fucking boring. How hard is it for these mother fuckers to just string some pacy passes together and run forward? I hate football matches like this. Literally jack shit has happened. Neither team has had a fun passage of play that has lead to a chance. Too slow, too much thinking. I miss Super Frank.

IF results stay the way they are (super jinx) then that helps Bournemouth so I'm not complaining (if Watford were to score that would make it even better!).

Man, PL would be awesome with Mou at Utd & Simeone at Chelsea.
Mou vs Pep vs Klopp vs Simeone
We gonna scheiße, we gonna see blood, we gonna see spunken.

Extreme sodium levels detected.
Why didn't McClaren strengthen your defence?
I've been saying this for a while, being a c*nt on SKY just as his buddy Scholes and actually managing a team are two different things! God help United if Giggs takes over with one of these so called class of 92 clowns as his assistants.

Next season will probably (hopefully?) be a bit of a mess if we make the widespread changes that are needed
2017/18 is when Klopp will curbstomp the #EPL

Going by the history of Liverpool's owners they will probably sell your best players in the summer then spend the money on the players that Klopp doesn't want.
I need to know this too. Our defence is shambolic. We desperately needed a left back too and got stumped on that as well.
Embarrassing stuff. We bought the right players for certain positions but our entire squad needs an overhaul from top to bottom. Too many lazy and shit cunts.
A season in the Championship is just what we need to refresh. Plus Shteve needs to go as well. Rancid coach.

I like to assume Klopp has been given a lot of control of transfers as a condition of joining.
Otherwise I'd have jumped off a bridge by now. You can't hire a world class manager to sort out a shit team, and leave the recruitment up to the people largely responsible for creating said shit team.
We don't have anyone good enough to be the subject of an unrefusable bid, so don't think it'll be an issue this summer. More concerned with finding other people clubs gullible enough to take the likes of Lallana, Milner, Benteke, Lucas, Bogdan, Balotelli etc. Especially with the wages they're on.
Thankfully Enrique's contract is up in May iirc

I'm fine with selling our best players on the condition we bring in someone to replace them of the same quality. This is LFCs biggest issue, we sell our best players and replace them with average ones.
Tbh I don't think a single player is safe in our team, everyone could be sold with the right offer.
Well, once you know he and Valencia's president are friends...
That's life in a nutshell. Some people often do find a way through the cracks with qualifications though but more than often, its about who you know.
True. He won't last long though.

The only player we have left that any bigger team would want is Coutinho.
They're gonna make a big loss on this squad just to get all the crap out the door.

Newcastle's Shelvey and Townsend wages will stay the same even if they go down.

Well atleast maybe now some of the overpriced/underperforming players pool buy off them will be American.
Alex Teixeira have accepted signing for Jiangsu! Fee: €50m

I guess that €10m a year had something to do with it...

Sturridge allegedly wants out of Liverpool this summer and the two clubs mentioned are Arsenal and United... two teams who have a recent history of pretty terrible injury records. Good luck with that Danny boy.
Maybe he should come home to the Bridge

He can hang out with Welbeck on the bench and the treatment table.
Sturridge was always going to be an odd one for Liverpool.
If he kept fit and banged in a ton of goals a huge offer would come in for him and he'd be out the door, if not, then he's injured and doing fuck all.
Liverpool can't win with him.
Becuase he feels aggrieved at being questioned about his injury record and desire to play. Who the fuck does he think he is? He's being paid about £8m a year for doing absolutely fuck all.

Wenger says new TV deal will mean transfer prices will jump up so clubs will not necessarily be able to lower ticket prices.

Fuck off Wenger you dick.

Were you expecting lower ticket prices? It's not like it's Wenger's fault.
I am not a Arsenal fan. But ticket prices are crazy for Prem clubs. Why is it that Prem clubs make the most through TV deals etc yet ticket prices still go up? You only have to look at other Euopean clubs to see how bad it is in the Prem. Wenger saying this is: 1) Insulting to his clubs fans. 2) Funny due Arsenal not really buying big that often.
Because clubs ask more more for players when they know you have more money. Why do you think transfer fees in the prem have gone insane in the last couple of years?
Of course, this doesn't affect Arsenal as they didn't buy anyone, but still.
Still shouldn't always be pushed onto the fans, given the profit a lot of the owners make.

I'm not saying ticket prices aren't too high, it just seems weird to vilify Wenger for what is a clearly true statement.
He's not talking about Arsenal specifically, he's talking about the Premier League, and there'll be very few teams who pass this money on to their fans (and the ones that do will probably get relegated because they won't be competitive). Imagine how much Man City have just agreed to pay Guardiola, and how much they'll pay their ten new £50m signings this summer. You think they're reducing ticket prices as well? Then everyone else needs to keep up.
Wenger isn't saying this is the way it should be, he's saying it's the way it inevitably will be because that's just how football works.
