Oh that I agree with. Private conversations are almost impossible to police or even be aware of, and I'm sure it goes on the whole time. But there's a world of difference between let's say Fabian Delph saying that he'd had a private conversation with Micah Richards in which he consulted him for advice about moving to City, and Richards publicly coming out telling any hack who would listen that moving to City is a career-ending move. The former is a perfectly rational and normal thing to do, especially in a career that has a life span of 15 years max. and one wrong move can screw it all up for good. The latter is completely unnecessary and does absolutely nothing for the player in question, other than to pile pressure on his current club to sell and sell for a lower price. I'm certainly not 'outraged', I just find it disrespectful to the integrity of a club and the game as a whole that certain teams are able to make such a public song and dance about a transfer. Unlike a private conversation, it unsettles the entire training ground, disappoints the fans, and can have wider ramifications in portraying a club as a 'weak' 'selling' club. I'm sure you went through a whole media circus the summer Barca moved for Suarez, albeit that was tempered by the fact that he was serving a lengthy ban and may well have been sold anyway by your board for his behaviour damaging the image of the club. If you took that circus and multiplied it by the circumference of the sun in centimetres, you'd grasp the crap we went through during the summer of Bale. From early April, ex-Madrid players (and there are hundreds of them) were giving interviews at every opportunity decidedly telling the world that Bale would be better off at Real. This unsettled the player and the club throughout that summer, as an air of uncertainty hung around the club. It was obvious to any sane person that he'd never be able to turn down a move from Madrid, so why make it so public and in-your-face unpleasant when the only reason Spurs were delaying (and I'm sure Levy communicated this to Perez) was to bring in replacements before the sale went ahead? The fact that so few clubs worldwide actively encourage those private conversations to become as public as possible shows that the majority of teams still see the practice as ethically questionable and against the spirit of the game.
You're not from Liverpool are you son? Nobody there is ever guilty of anything and mousers don't make admissions.
Well boys what can I say? I predicted We'd be above you by 20th but looks like it could be a lot sooner, I managed to catch the 2nd half and from what I saw you looked quite flat and out of ideas going forward, maybe pocahontas his hit his ceiling of ability? Kanes run of form has taken a massive dip, but who cares when ya just playing with your mates perhaps now this silly idea of you getting in the top 4 will be put to bed and mass delusion turns instead into mass realisation. Don't fret, I'll wave as we go past ya
You'll certainly be level on points with us by tomorrow night, but bear in mind that we're up against Newcastle next so that won't last for long. I think it's a bit premature to write off a team that has gone 14 games undefeated. Even though too many of those have been draws, we forget that 4 of those came against yourselves, Everton, Arsenal and Leicester so nothing to be ashamed of there. Today was a disappointing performance and an equally disappointing result. I think a few positives from it are: no matter how much the Brom players kicked and shoved us, we showed once again that we are incredibly hard to beat. Secondly, I'm still hopeful of top 4 for the sheer reason that United are ****e, City are inconsistent, and "surely" Leicester can't continue defying gravity forever? I see no reason why the top 4 can't accommodate both Liverpool and Spurs this season. However, whilst I think defensively we are the better side, you've got so many different options up front that I do worry what a decent manager like Klopp could do with you. Whereas we ludicrously decided to start the season with one recognised striker, you have Benteke, Sturridge and Ings - all proven strikers who all (most importantly) bring something completely different to the table. We lack the personell to 'mix things up' in a game such as today where the opposition is basically Stoke wearing blue stripes. No question we'll look to strengthen in Jan, and if we do I think the race for the entire top 4, including the champions, can go to the wire for the first time since 'Agueroooooo'.
That's fine mate I understand you are hurting right now as the dream of a top 4 place erodes in front of your eyes, had a good chance to do it too but yet again the league's annual underachievers have come good just at the right time, it's better this way guys trust me on this, had you have been within reach of top 4 still in January then the mass delusion on this board would've been irreversible with untreatable mental scars, I feared a mass exodus and/or mass silence much like the chav fans on here should that have happened but thank God normal service has resumed and I can sleep safe knowing you will all be OK in the end, in 6th place.

What a fukcing clown! The trouble with unwarranted arrogance, mate, is that you look like a complete tool when it all blows up in your face! You're in 7th spot, which is where you normally reside.
newcastle shouldve finished the game with 9 men - plus we had a goal wrongly disallowed add to that we were awful and thats what ya get
The great thing is that we will now be spared all the collective 'Pool-loving media ****ing, had they won. We are spared the nauseating prospect of listening to twats like MIckey Dim and Lawro telling us how Klopp is the new Shankley and that the glory days are back for 'Pool. Alalulia, my Brothers!
