Anyone having difficulty getting to sleep this evening, the WBA v Swansea game might help you. Zero talent on display, zero atmosphere, and basically a crap game. I like Steve Bruce, but blimey this is a poor appointment for both him and West Brom.

Why do all those refs come from the Liverpool area? Are they taught to blow things from an early age? Err! I mean whistles...of course!!?

They will be leaving the yo-yoing this season to Norwich and Fulham.

Exactly, don’t get me wrong TAA and VVD are amazing footballers but what Salah has done for Liverpool and the sort of goals he has scored puts up there with the very best in the world in the last 2-3 years imo.

TAA has the best left foot in the league and whips in a mean cross a dead ball specialist too. Virgil knows how to use his size and strength with a footballing brain but Salah has ‘talent’ coming out of his every curly lock…like you say he scores allsorts of goals, got pace too, obviously not as good a defender as Virgil, probably on par with TAA tbh.

Mo's the king, and arguably our most important player.
But we miss vvd and/or trent more when they don't play imho.

We've normally done well whenever Salah has been out of the team (which is never, granted)

But look at last season and I think it shows how important vvd actually is to the rest of them. Not that he was our only one and I won't go there cos of ptsd from it <whistle>

I not saying either of them btw I'm just sayin

Bottom right is Aussie Jarrod Gillett.
Rumour has it that by 2050 all referees will have been born at Old Trafford.

Apparently, Manchester-born Chris Kavanagh has a family that are all season-ticket holders at Manchester City. How was that not a clear conflict of interest putting him on VAR for the Everton - City match this past weekend?

EDIT: There's even a video of him talking with a representative from Manchester's FA on Manchester FA's YouTube channel <laugh>

Mike Dean is infamously a Tranmere fan and I think that's pretty inarguable.
His sons are supposedly Liverpool season-ticket holders, though.
That's why he doesn't get very many of their games. Their opponents? Not a problem, apparently.

That is utterly ridiculous.

Imagine parliament with four fifths of all constituencies represented by one fifth of the MPs.
