So, 'Pool scrape a 1-0 win.

Talks**te are saying that this win could "kick start" 'Pool's season.

What?

A lucky win against Stoke, at Klanfield! Really?

What about when they get slaughtered against the first half-decent side they come against? Surely, any confidence gained by this win will be smashed by the realisation that 'Pool simple are not good enough. This game turned out to be exactly what it was - a hard-fought match between two mid-table sides.

I really don't believe that anyone can read anything into this.

Must kill you that the only side that's made us look good this season has been Spurs.

It certainly shows just how far we have fallen.We were all set to take your place at the "top 4" table, but now we're scrapping around in mid table, just like you.

I'm not going to lie to you, that that doesn't hurt, Yoda.

Yeah, but surely you can look at the players in your squad and see the possibility/potential for improvement, Pool on the other hand..........

In all likelihood we'll both end up top 7 this season... lottery as to where though.

It's ridiculous how Spurs have diminished since Harry's last season. That side with Bale, Modric etc played us off the pitch at White Hart Lane.

It's what happens when you lose a world class player(s), as you've just found out!...
 
I can remember Shankly saying something like "football is not just life and death,it's more important than that!"
 
The media is rinsing itself up into a right old lather over Rodgers (finally) dropping Slippy G. Not one of these muppet-hacks seems to have worked out that it turned out to be the right tactic.
 
I think it's more than that...

We needed the right replacements and didn't (or couldn't) get them.

Of course Sturridge being out has ruined us too.


I think that's the point, you CAN'T replace world class talent with a handful of extra players. Having said that, we both could have chosen more astutely.
 
Look mum.There's John Terry crossing the road.Quick,put your foot down on the accelerator...........

I think there was a great need for us to sign maybe three very good players - say Shaqiri level players for want of an example.

It seems like we tried, failed, then resorted to the level below - Lallana, Markovic etc.

But hey, in a year or two Markovic etc might be brilliant. Maybe...

In a year or two Lamela might look as if he's worth half of what we paid for him, too.

I think the problem is that you get a large windfall from selling a world class player, who actually cost you relative peanuts. Everybody knows that you have the money, asking prices are raised consequently, and hasty & not properly thought through decisions are made. The pressure from expectant fans also adds to the problem.

Yeah, and perhaps Goofy might lose his taste for human flesh.

Whilst it may be true that "anything is possible," it's rarely the case that it is, in practice.
 
Balotelli's a bit of a twat, but I think that he's actually trying to be anti-racist with that post, as misguided as it may be.
Picking the version without the added couple of dodgy lines at the bottom might have helped him, though.

Without the bottom 2 lines the top line would have to say "don't be xenophobic".

Sarcasm and irony don't come across on social media.

Don't mess about trying to make some clever point. Say what you mean, but don't be offensive.

Call a spade a spade. Or maybe not.
