At this point the only people I blame is football authorities for tolerating this **** for far too long. If they acted 10-15 years ago when this stuff only started to happen en masse, we wouldn't have to watch blatant cheating in literally every game. Players are always going to bend the rules, it's the people up top who have to get off their *** if things gets out of control.

It started WELL longer than 10-15 years ago. The Italians and Eastern Europeans were doing this back at the inception of the European Cup. And don’t get me started on the South Americans.
No question the authoraties are to blame. But you can’t have actual coaches/ managers openly boasting about both going out to, and actually doing, cheating.

Of course it started ages ago, but it didn't really become widespread until 3-foreign players rule was removed and south american players flooded Europe. And that's what, mid-90s?
Plus you can't retaliate with a bit of rule breaking of your own anymore. I don't remember Klinsmann diving that much when he was at Spurs, he knew it would end with someone's boot up his ***.

Honestly mate it was terribly widespread the ‘80’s in European football.
It really isn’t anything new. And neither is the hypocritical English attitude that turns a blind eye to it when its there own but gets all ubber xenophobic when it’s against them.

Scouse, back in a day my hometown club had an owner who was a genuine crazy person. Dude was convinced all Brazilians are Peles and Ronaldos who just weren't discovered yet, so he would ship literally dozens of random Brazillians to Poland and paid them to play football. At some point we had like 20 of them. Half would bolt on the first plane back to Brazil after first taste of Polish winter, then we would bring new ones. Most of them were worse than random kid you could find just on the street so we ended up relegated. I'm not making this up.
And believe you me, even those randoms were notorious for cheating. That's just how they roll over there.

I have a good mate in Huddersfield who has an apt saying for that.
You can’t educate pork.

its a yorkshire saying use it all the time never gets old
Midfield for tomorrow. Stick with Keita or bring in the inform Hendo to partner Fabinho and Wiji. If i was a betting man I'd say Hendo,Fabino and Wiji but Im not sure the captain can play two quick games in succession.

Henderson can do that sound.
Personally, as well as Naby’s now playing, I’d have him amomg my armoury on the bench. I’d flip van Dijk to RCH, which would mean Fabinho LCH, as Matip can’t play there. Most all Utd’s attacking comes down the left. And Solksjaer’s probably naive enough to take us on straight up and go all out attack. So as we know Mo offers little defensively, big Virg would give Trent added help. Henderson back in our6, then 2 8’s behind the front 3 in Gini and Milner. With Bobby dropping in as a 10/ going wide and Mo flitting up front/ wide as our usual interchanging allows. Although I’s maybe atart Mo centrally to run their questionable CH’s all over
Subs may well be vital tomorrow so I’d want as many game changers on the bench as possible. Hence why I wouldn’t start Naby or big Shaq. When Utd’s legs go the last half hour they’re rhe last two you want to see running at you.
But that’s just what ‘I’d’ do.
In reality, I only see one change from Tuesday and that’s big Virg in for whichever midfielder. I’d guess Keita or Henderson.
As always with Utd, I’d be made up with a point and anything else would be a pleasant bonus. Not because they’re better than us. They’re nothing like that and all things being equal we should win comfortably. But it’s Utd. And they’ve held the Indian sign, and all the luck that comes with it, over us for longer than anyone cares to remember.
Just don’t lose. ALL that matters to leave the league in our own hands.

What a ******* appalling performance. Wouldnt give anyone a rating of higher than 3 after that, with the exception of Allison after pulling off a wonder save.
How the **** do we only manage 1 shot on target against a team who played most of the game with 10 men, with Lukaku on wing.
Genuinely fuming after that game. It felt like I was watching a Sunday League team.

Once Firmino went of it was game over. Sturridge is finished at the top level he was appalling linked up with no one and couldn't even run behind. I'll take the point in the grand scheme of things.
Wonder why not sell him and keep Solanke
You should have been winning that game with all those injuries. No excuses, you were absolutely dogshit. Glad you're calling it for what it is rather than justifying any of it
High wages and fitness issues. He literally doesnt even sprint anymore. Big gamble for any team to be taking hin on. Solanke isnt ready for mens football yet and we csnt afford to give him game time.

God the fume around social media .....
Lads, we started today second with Utd in the CL places. We finished it top the league with Utd in the Europe League places.
Had worse Sundays.
Point and clean sheet from Utd (one of our biggest bogey grounds for years) do us sound. Can’t ask for much more than the title in our own hands with 11 to go. Witn only 2 of those against top 6 sides, both at home, to boot. A lot of people have forgotten just what it takes during a run-in to the title. All about holding your nerve. Performances matter little at this stage. Points do. And now, with this avvys point, we match City, there’s NOTTIN they can do to stop us.
’LIB’POOL, TOP THE LEAGUE, LIB’POOL, LIB’POOL TOP THE LEAGUE!’

Rodgers is back at Leicester.
Really strange timing like given Celtic are on the verge of another title but happy for him.
I’ve never understood the outright hatred from some Reds for him. I mean he had to go. No question there. It had gotten Hodgson bad the end. And he was never a favourite of mine. (In fact I felt SO insulted by him when the team in Madrid came up the video board before the game I walked out and was back in a wine bar back down Sol by the second half but thats another story from this impulsive Scouser.). Should never have been in the position to start with if truth be told but you can’t blame him for taking it when it was madly offered. But he still took this football club to within a game of the title. Still the closest we’ve been in nearly three decades since the last time we were crowned Champions. He’s never bad mouthed rhe club after he left. Always speaking in real respectful, glowing terms.
No personal ill feeling at all toward Brendan. Wish him all the best at Leicester.
Particularly the penultimate game of the season against City haha.
