As a Liverpool fan, that is an under achievement I’ll take any day! As long as we don’t suffer an epic end of season collapse.

Newcastle good value this morning, bossed the middle of the park, 2-1 extremely flattering.
Eddie Howe statue incoming.
Starting to pay the price for not rotating the squad enough. Sticking to 15 players might work in the Eredivisie, not going to end well in England.
Gotta feel pumped for the Saudi PIF. Great bunch of lads
Maybe they can upgrade the umbrella to a fully-fledged cloaking device, just like in Star Trek.
Deary me.
Shall be forever known as the “Lara Croft” Arena
if they were to build a new stadium, it’ll look just like every other stadium in England and be wildly over budget
Sad on one hand that it took another Middle Eastern moneybags owner to get Newcastle a trophy.
On the other I’m overjoyed for those Toon fans who haven’t seen them win a domestic trophy since the 1950s. They’ve suffered through some shit.
Oh dear, Harry. Oh dear.
Imagine Redknapp having a go at a manager who’s hasn’t dropped below a 60% win rate since 2015, when his own win rate never went above 50%. Redknapp’s best statistics came from his 2 games in charge of Jordan… He won his first game and then got pumped by Australia before losing his job
Bitter nearly 80 year old Englishman is racist toward Germans is hardly a shocker
Potentially also shitty that Niko Kranjcar was overlooked for the job.
Really the only surprise is that he didn’t deliver that rant out of a limo car window.
A question for those who do our tifos (not sure right place for this, but does concern an English team). …
How much would you expect to spend on one big Tifo display, like the ‘Prepare for the storm of Sydney’?
I ask purely out of curiosity, as the Holmesdale Fantatics (who I am a fan of and stand with when I go to Palace games) are raising money for a tifo for the FA cup tifo. They’re hoping to raise £12k.
Am I being naive, or is that a lot of money for a tifo display? I’m totally clueless tbh. What costs are you looking at for a big tifo display?
That’s a shit-tonne of money for a tifo, The Cove wouldn’t spend that over a season…
…however, The Cove also sews and paints all its own tifos, $18k could well be the cost of a professionally made very large tifo and if I recall correctly, there are costs for extra staff for health and safety overkill in England because they have to be sure that nobody gets hurt holding up a big sheet.
They say ‘all funds raised will be used to purchase materials for the display’.
So sounds like they’re making their own. You’d hope it’d be super impressive with all that money.
Manure’s tactics against Forrest seem to be, chuck the big fella up front and cross it into the mixer
Love that Elanga scored that banga, hilarious that Yates gets an assist for a clearing header in his own box.
Ange cupping his ear towards the away end after his sub scores, with said substitution met with “you don’t know what you’re doing”.
Claims it was just him trying to get the away fans to be louder and definitely not a reaction or taunt.
Cherry on top - goal disallowed for a very obvious foul on the replay, spotted by one Jarred Gillet in the VAR booth.
On field ref takes an admittedly outrageous amount of time to decide to chalk the goal off, only saving grace on that might be if he was deciding it was a yellow or red card.
In his famously calm and thick skinned manner, Ange turns on the post match interviewer, with gems like
You can try force me into a corner, [which] you are.
Based on your basic knowledge of vocabulary, what does clear and obvious suggest to you?
I guess people like you will continue to be happy sitting on your couches waiting for six minutes for clear and obvious stuff.
It will be refereed by AI (Artificial Intelligence) pretty soon and we may as well dispense of the players at some point. Someone will come up with a genius way of having a game of football with no participants because referees aren’t refereeing
