Sky reporting that Liverpool have turned down an approach from Real Madrid for Trent.

Am I missing something here? Why are Madrid approaching Liverpool when they can just speak to him directly from tomorrow?

Are they that desperate that they want to pay us some money and get him in January rather than wait few months?

Or is he not playing ball with them so they want to try to make up his mind by getting us to agree a sale?

The mind boggles.

I think BP it's basically madrid saying to trent are u coming for definite r not. And if not they want to know now as they need a rb in asap and can move on. I think they losing patience in the saga and want an answer.
That's how I read it as any reliable source of lfc info says no deal with them agreed.


2.) 31 Dec 2024 18:37:03
I think it’s because a free transfer Trent plays for them next season.

If they offer a reduced fee and it goes through Trent is playing for them next weekend.


3.) 31 Dec 2024 18:46:07
Real Madrid approach Liverpool to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold. No offer made but #RMFC willing to pay for 26yo England int’l. Rebuffed immediately. No figures discussed but #LFC plan to talk with right-back’s camp soon.


4.) 31 Dec 2024 18:59:34
I thought you knew it well before @Beckers, the confidence you have shown over the weeks on “how club is secretly working behind the scenes”.


5.) 31 Dec 2024 19:02:07
Carra making his feelings on it clear, reckons trents team would have told madrid to bid knowing full well we'd turn it down as to cover him for when he leaves on a free. Also the the title is the most important thing in 2025 not players contracts. What you make of these comments eds?

{Ed001's Note - Carra is an idiot. He talks a lot of ****. He is a true pundit now.}


6.) 31 Dec 2024 19:07:01
I think he is off, plain and simple! All the noise coming out of Spain this week has been that Trent has chosen Madrid and now Madrid come in with an offer of sorts…in this instance I don’t think Madrid make that call unless they got all the reassurances they needed from Trent’s camp.

Big question is, do you hold on until Summer and wave him off on a free (possibly as a title winner) or do you sell? I think sell, I don't want him to leave but if he has his heart set on Madrid and is willing to leave while we are top of the Prem and champions league then he is not committed and will play that way! if Trent informed the club that he does want to leave on a free but didn’t want to go now because he wants to leave as a champion then let him stay and fight! It’s all about his attitude, last thing we want is a player performing at 50% to save himself from injury….


7.) 31 Dec 2024 18:22:13
If RM have an offer accepted they sign him in January

Longer it goes another club could offer him a better salary - my guess is they are trying to offer a pittance of a transfer fee and probably lower wages than if he goes somewhere on a free.


8.) 31 Dec 2024 19:35:53
It’s an absolute disgrace this club has allowed 3 world class players contracts run down this low. Disgrace.


9.) 31 Dec 2024 19:38:01
Some of the things I’ve read I’d have my bags packed and be on the sangria as we speak.


10.) 31 Dec 2024 19:38:07
We are going for the league and champs league, and are THE team to beat in both. THAT is more important that Trents future.
Real are doing what Real do-Playing a game, and we need to keep our heads down and win the 2 big ones.

2/ 3 of the last seasons we were on for the treble or quad and bottled it, let's not let the Trent/ Real BS undermine a big chance to win the F lot.


11.) 31 Dec 2024 19:44:47
I think it is perfectly acceptable if he does go for free as we prey on players' contract situations all the time so we can't complain when it's done to us. I don't think we should freeze him out or fans should be frosty with him. But at the same time, we certainly don't owe him anything. I don't think it's right if he's been in talks with another club and is still vice-captain. I also think the club should continue to be conscious of the game time he wants. If they feel Bradley is ready, we should start phasing him in and TAA out.

I'm not going to elaborate on my opinion thatI think this scenario has been engineered by his team again as it only causes arguments on here but I do believe fans should give him a respectful and amicable send-off. He has done everything above board even if we don't like his career decision. But we have to do what's in the best interests of the club and if that means giving Bradley more experience this season at the expense of TAA then so be it.


12.) 31 Dec 2024 20:08:04
Totally unprofessional from lfc and trent as for madrid they can do one. All trent has to do is say i would like to stay but nothing he seems to be reliant on statements on his ambitions to captain the club well he needs to sign a deal and for virgil to leave for that to happen. His silence is deathening and stinks of self centered arrogance. As a young scouse lad he's got enough wealth not to worry about money as for Madrid ballon dor no. England trophies no Liverpool trophies hero yes. He leaves he becomes a nobody.


13.) 31 Dec 2024 21:13:05
“No figures discussed but #LFC plan to talk with right-back’s camp soon. ”

Well they’d better hurry those talks up because Madrid can talk to him tomorrow as well.


14.) 31 Dec 2024 22:03:26
1) Marca chat absolute rubbish
2) This will play out behind closed doors
3) Trent will want the best deal possible like all players do
4) Everything being reported is speculation, lots attempting to make Trent look like a money grabbing pr*ck

Trent is our player, let’s just see what happens.


15.) 31 Dec 2024 22:46:35
Feels a bit Sol Campbell to me.


16.) 31 Dec 2024 23:22:08
Smart Business from Madrid, offer low £m, gets player off the market. Gets them a much needed defender. If accepted then player would have no choice as it shows Liverpool aren't serious enough to keep him and if rejected and TAA doesn't like it then gets a pre contract sorted quickly and possibly a tiny bit cheaper for Madrid. If you love a conspiracy, then it would get TAA out of the 'left for free, done us dirty' accusation.

Rubbish about brothers or advisors or Jude is just that, rubbish. Either the club dropped the ball or Trent wants to leave. But no one suffers as the likelihood is any fee would get lost in the shuffle anyway and not be directly added to 'budgets'.


17.) 31 Dec 2024 23:30:29
Trent is a Liverpool legend, whatever he decides I wish him well. I am sure that there is a lot to consider and whatever he decides he owes us nothing. I hope he decides to stay though.


18.) 01 Jan 2025 01:21:19
Much drama in the way of the most important business.
This could end messily for Trent and the club.


19.) 01 Jan 2025 01:48:14
Simple really, f*ck him, he plays not one more game for this club if we have a fit alternative There isn’t a better club in Europe in footballing terms right now, if he wants to leave for a few extra £ per week then he can rot in the reserves for a few months,


20.) 01 Jan 2025 04:12:44
@johnyr1970, i am with you. Anyway Real knows Liverpool, Arnold will not agree to Jan move. They just did it out of mischief and also state their position officially "Trent, Real Madrid wants you! "

I think Slot being a clever manager, knows that its better to give game time to Bradley and other players to groom them for next season. We will not get same player as trent, but what we lose in 1 area, we gain in other areas. I can think that havibg a more defensively solid right back means Salah and midfield doesn't need to drop deeper to help out like for Trent case.


21.) 01 Jan 2025 07:10:48
You have to be disapointed with Trent how or why he wants to leave this team this club his home town is beyond me. It could be a blessing ok we get a better defensive R. B and become harder to score against we could become better. We actually improved when Coutiniho left. Big shame for me is he has talked secretely to them which means his heads been away since the summer that's down to Bellingham and maybe you just wouldn't want Trent in yer trench if that's what he thinks of us. He is replaceable.


22.) 01 Jan 2025 07:51:20
"Leave him on th bench". While we're in the running for 4 trophies. Great idea.
That's why people who get butthurt easily don't makr good managers.


23.) 01 Jan 2025 09:04:39
I won’t blame Trent for exploring options elsewhere

From what the Ed’s have stated the club has approached the negotiations with their vice-captain in an absolutely appalling manner - including leaving a proposal on the table and then almost “forgetting” about it for a period of time.

How can you treat your current vice-captain, and maybe future captain, in this manner is beyond me.

The hate isn’t needed, justified, or helpful.


24.) 01 Jan 2025 10:25:21
I know the club have made horrendous mistakes with regards the contracts and it looks like it’s going to cost Liverpool big money when Trent leaves. What you say there Paisley is too far fetched even for us.
Trent is tarnishing his legacy with the club he claims to love. I would also try to sell him now if he wants to go. We will win the league and he can win his La Liga which no one will want to see.


25.) 01 Jan 2025 10:35:52
For what it’s worth I’d be disappointed with him leaving and I do think it will tarnish his standing, legacy if you will, amongst the fans. I’m sure he won’t lose any sleep on what I think ?! I can only try to relate to how I think I would act in the same situation, being a Liverpool fan, playing for the club I love, possibly being a future captain, challenging for all the trophies in a very good Liverpool side and presumably getting a very competitive salary package. Let’s see how it plays out.


26.) 01 Jan 2025 10:45:48
@ Downey “if he has his heart set on Madrid and is willing to leave while we are top of the Prem and champions league then he is not committed and will play that way! ”

But this isn’t the reality of what we’re seeing mate?

I’m fact Trent is playing better than he has been for a long time.

He is playing like he’s committed and playing very well.

I would 100% not sell in January. A small transfer fee is not worth losing him mid season.


27.) 01 Jan 2025 11:22:42
The most likely reason behind this is Trent became uncertain of his future whan Klopp left, His mate Bellingham had a good season at Madrid they met up at the euros and Bellingham put a seed in Trents head about life in Madrid and Trents head has been turned at start of season via Bellingham Madrid have been in Trents head and now Trents agents can smell the money. Trent now realises he's cornered Lfc are better than Madrid we could win the prem and even chmps lge but his agent and Madrid won't let go and suddenly his desire to go there is questioned by our success. he's cocked up big time and can't save face he can't concoct a story to save himself from the fact he wanted away and was turned by Madrid and the little goal gesture was his way of saying don't believe what you hear, so why did Madrid make an offer then Mr innocent? that's factual and you are responsible. Your legacy is you are a prat.

{Ed001's Note - so you concoct this nonsense story to have a dig at him, then you call him a prat? Do you know what irony is?}


28.) 01 Jan 2025 11:57:22
So Ed01 you might not like it but mr choir boy Trent instigated this yes or no or is football totally woke now?

{Ed001's Note - how has he instigated it? What the hell is woke to do with anything, other than to prove your idiocy when you resort to bizarre claims like that?}


29.) 01 Jan 2025 12:09:22
Madrid are not putting it out there yesterday that they want to sign him in January without Trent knowing. Time will tell but it looks calculated to me. The club should put it out here what they have offered him. I hope it’s £300k a week, a decent signing fee and 5 years maybe with a release clause. If he won’t sign it then sell him.


30.) 01 Jan 2025 12:22:25
Ed01 what's bizare aboout it Trent can not be slated? So anyone who thinks Trents behaviour is a model for how to renegotiate a contract need look no further than Salah and Vvd, both said they would like to stay all Trents done is make it look like he wants to go to madrid.

{Ed001's Note - he has done nothing of the sort. He has said that he will not be talking about it as it is private between him and the club and out of respect for the club he will not breach that privacy. Nothing he has done makes it look like he wants to go to Madrid. He might very well have decided the time is right to leave, but to suggest he is looking like he wants to go, when he is putting in excellent performances for the team, is just bizarre. It makes no sense.}


31.) 01 Jan 2025 12:42:18
Ed001 Why did madrid make an offer? Trying to destabilise him? Agreed he's played well. Regardless of how he conducts himself his ideology on privacy is respectable but the rumours and rumours of rumours can be stopped with a simple statement of i have entered contract negotiations and will update you when there's news. Its important he does this. Privacy or not. If he leaves on a free shame on the club and good luck to him.

{Ed001's Note - I don't know why Madrid have done that, I know they desperately need a right-back now but it is an odd move, unless they are unsure of his choice as well. Maybe it's them saying 'now or never lad'? It is a strange thing to do otherwise.

As for speaking, Salah spoke out and got crucified for doing so. When Virgil answered questions about it, he also got pelters. They can't win. If they talk they get abused for talking about it. If he keeps quiet, he gets abuse for things people dream up in their head. A lot of the issue is that the club were not even bothering to negotiate with him for a long time. It is only recently that they have even begun to make solid actual attempts to get a contract sorted. It might be best he keeps quiet, as I can only imagine how much that would bother him.}


32.) 01 Jan 2025 13:35:35
Was there actually an official offer o is it another story from marca?


33.) 01 Jan 2025 15:01:23
I don't think there is an offer per se, just that RM approached us asking if we'd be open to selling Trent in Jan, which was immediately rebuffed. Could just be a tactic by RM to destabilise Trent.

Onto Trent, I'm not sure where this narrative that he is behaving poorly is coming from. He was asked about his contract previously and he mentioned that he will be discussing it privately with the club. That should have killed the story there and then until the conclusion to the discussions are made public either by the club or by Trent himself. In my view, he has behaved very professionally and has shown us a lot of respect. To put it into perspective, Mane literally forced his way out of the club and yet, he is more beloved than Trent, something that I can't wrap my head around.


34.) 01 Jan 2025 15:43:16
The club have ****ed up the 3 players contracts letting them run down so low.
The 3 players reps would be incredibly naive not to explore their options if nothing else but to force the clubs hand in the situation.
We know from Ed02 that Salahs reps have previously explored other options also.
Why would Madrid bid?
We know they are interested in the player.
We know they have defensive issues.
We know they’re struggling in the CL.
We know the window is open.
If they were successful in their bid it would mean acquiring the player for the remainder of their season.
It would mean that they wouldn’t have to pay a significant signing on fee or at least a much reduced fee.
Trent’s only statement regarding the entire situation has been…
“I have been at the club 20 years now, I have signed four or five contract extensions and none of those have been played out in public – and this one won’t be either. ”
In the meantime there’s a league to be won.


35.) 01 Jan 2025 15:52:33
Where are people getting all this bs from? Why are we making things up about our own player? He has not once said he wants to leave, in fact he hasn’t said anything at all. The club have made a real balls up leaving these contract negotiations so late, that is not Trent or Mo or VVD’s fault. Trent prob has better things to do that read stuff on social media, but seriously if he did it would hardly encourage him to stay would it? Can’t believe the conclusions people are jumping to with literally no evidence. We distrust the press all year round until they say our player wants to leave and all of a sudden it’s gospel. People need to get a grip and just be patient.


36.) 01 Jan 2025 16:50:37
Stevie got on Ambrovich's yacht and then did not sign for Chelsea to stay at his boyhood club. Until Trent signs for RM he is ours.


37.) 01 Jan 2025 16:54:28
He has not once said he wants to stay either. Plus he definitely knew what Madrid were planning yesterday. The club have messed up so badly, you can’t believe how bad they are at their jobs.


38.) 01 Jan 2025 17:33:35
Messed up big time mark, Ward and Hughes, what have they done? Wards job to get the contracts dealt with, clearly done nothing there. Hughes is supposed to bring in new talent - alright he only has had one window to do something but what did he do? bugger all! instead he went and got an injury prone has been and a GK we didn't need lol you can't even make this up and then you have some people defending them which is beyond me.


39.) 01 Jan 2025 18:40:42
I reckon a Madrid bid could have been invited from Trent’s side just be so if he leaves for nothing they can push the well you had a chance to get money for me narrative. If he isn’t staying he should have been sold last summer. Same with the other two.


40.) 01 Jan 2025 19:15:25
I reckon that's it ed1, madrid are saying now r never lad. I think they feel he sideing towards staying at lfc and they forcing it to get an answer.
Like why would trent want to leave lfc this jan? Above all times that u could leave now would be worst ever considering our league position.


41.) 01 Jan 2025 21:50:45
Disneyland I’ve never claimed to know anything. Quite the opposite in fact.

I’ve always said that none of us know enough about any of the contract negotiations to start apportioning blame.

I do however find it laughable that people think the club have ‘allowed’ this to happen.


42.) 02 Jan 2025 16:41:46
Was always a common tactic of Madrid though - anytime they wanted a player the Spanish press reported terms were agreed, done deal etc etc every week - this was always an attempt to unsettle the player, get the fans turning against him so the transfer actually happens.

Nothing agreed, will play out behind closed doors so I'd ignore most of these so called media reports - they all originate from the Spanish press anyway, newspapers etc here just regurgitate the same rubbish

Honestly hope all 3 will sign new contracts though the cost msut be an issue - the difficulty is agreeing acceptable terms with the player whilst staying within the PSR guidelines for UEFA and the FA and also not giving them so much money that other top players in the club feel slighted by so want more - cannot destabilise the club wage structure but all 3 are worth keeping.


43.) 02 Jan 2025 17:23:51
We should judge the lad on what he does on the pitch and up to now the three players who could leave on a free in the summer are pushing for trophies. Let's stay behind them YNWA.


44.) 02 Jan 2025 20:26:54
Crazy from Fbart. Have some empathy. The guy is a legend - if like Keegan, Rush, Souness etc he wants an overseas challenge, then good luck to him.

Both Jamie R, and Lineker have been sensible on this point: I don’t like Real at all, but they are currently the only club to move to if you want an overseas experience at the top level.


 

 

31 Jan 2024 09:19:16
Man I hate the media in this country.

VVD says he doesn’t know what will happen after Klopp as it depends what the club does and which direction they want to go and they report it as he wants to leave!

To the point where Klopp has to tell people to calm down and VVD has to confirm he’s committed to the club.

I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that the media twist people’s words to form false headlines or the fact that people actually believe them.

Beckers pecker

{Ed002's Note - I am not sure what you are referring to but his agent has said there have been a couple of general enquiries this week.}


1.) 31 Jan 2024 10:35:33
Only natural some clubs may want to capitalise on the uncertainty - we have done it on the past. Big difference receiving enquiries and courting them. The other side of this may be that the new manager no wants Virgil and they may seek to move him on (although I would hope that was unlikely) .


2.) 31 Jan 2024 13:02:14
Bloke knows he's going to be negotiating a new contract soon. Was never going to say"being here is a dream come true and i want to stay here forever and ever and ever"now was he? a nothing story.


3.) 31 Jan 2024 13:37:28
Agree with Jude Nkunku. He really doesn't have any idea what's going to happen. It's a long time until his contract is up. Anything can happen.

No issue with the comments.


4.) 31 Jan 2024 15:18:14
Wouldnt worry about clubs approaching the agent- Id be shocked if there wasnt. Even coming up to 33, he would be an immense addition to any side still. All about how he feels and he seems committed.


5.) 31 Jan 2024 17:42:34
I personally think at least one big name leaves in the summer. This doesn't include the players that will not have their contract renewed.


6.) 31 Jan 2024 18:46:36
If the Edwards approach is true. That says to me we’re panicking a little about life after Klopp.
It’s only natural our best players will be wary of all this and want reassurances we plan to stay successful.


7.) 31 Jan 2024 18:52:07
Too many people worrying about the future ! Embrace the rest of the season, klopp has earned our support not our questions.


8.) 31 Jan 2024 21:53:27
lol, does anyone believe that we don't plan to be successful? lol what kind of statement is that?

We're worrying a bit too much about things we can't control and then making factual statements about things that we don't really know about lol.


9.) 01 Feb 2024 09:35:27
Ally McCoist summed it up perfectly last night when his co-commentator tried to make a big deal out of VVDs comments. He hit back immediately saying that Virg is just saying that a new manager will have his own players and he doesn't know what the new manager and the club will want to do. At no point had he said that he wanted to leave and it was just the media twisting his words.

Obviously I'm paraphrasing but it was nice to hear an 'expert' finally talking some sense rather than trying to make drama.

I have been reading some posts on here of people being disappointed with the cup exit and although I get being disappointed as everyone hates losing games I just fail to understand what some people expect.

We have some saying it shows we don't have a strong enough squad to win a quadruple. No squad in the history of English football has had a squad strong enough to win the quadruple which is why it's never bee done. It seems that if we don't do the almost impossible it's a failure.

The 21/ 22 season doesn't get enough credit because we didn't win the 2 big ones but we were a Villa capitulation and a Courtois worldy away from actually doing it. Actually winning every competition we entered that season.

That is a far better season than Arsenal's invincibles or Utd's treble but it will never get the recognition it deserves because of the finest of margins.

For me that season should be held on a pedestal as the closest any team has ever come to perfection.

We should not however judge every team after that by that standard. The quadruple is not a realistic target it's the league first and foremost and then the CL and the 2 domestic cups have to be a distant 3rd and 4th.

Of course Slot has said the result against Plymouth was unacceptable but you can bet your life he's not losing any sleep over it. What did you expect him to say? It's only the FA Cup I'm not bothered? He's a winner and he wants all of the players to be the same. the fact is he took a huge risk in playing the team he did, knowing that if we do go out it's no big deal.

Let's just get the league done, starting with tonight, stay positive and anything else we win is a bonus.

Beckers pecker

1.) 12 Feb 2025 17:18:15
We came close to the quadruple in 1984, Beckers. We played our strongest side in the FA Cup, 4th round, against Brighton. They beat us 2-0. Major shock. Won the other 3. As the song goes, "We did the treble, we did the treble in Rome"


2.) 12 Feb 2025 17:23:45
I agree, it’s all hindsight and guesswork but I’m convinced playing every possible game in 2022 took it out of us right at the end. The Spurs game at home where we ultimately blew it springs to mind, just ran out of ideas.


3.) 12 Feb 2025 17:30:04
I think the manner of exit and opposition make it more loathsome. Had we lost one nil away to West ham there would be no uproar and much less embarrassment.


4.) 12 Feb 2025 17:51:40
I was disappointed with the performance not necessarily the actual result. That should have been good enough on paper to win that game and I think all of the senior players - outside of Endo - had very poor games. I think the reality is however winning the quadruple was never going to happen so I'm not upset about having fewer games now ahead of us.


5.) 12 Feb 2025 18:24:43
Perhaps that’s why the ex Utd players don’t like Liverpool.

Every time they look at their Premier league, Champions League and Fa cup medals from that treble season they are jealous that our lads played in every game.


6.) 12 Feb 2025 21:58:48
If you don't have the will or desire to win a competition then save everyone the trouble and don't enter it, or withdraw. Don't participate. And save everyone a whole lot of trouble.

So saving all those players and giving them a rest for Plymouth did what exactly after tonight's result against Everton? Sure, hindsight is always 20/ 20. But it clearly validates the fact that you should give 100% for every single freaking game. Or just stay at home.


 

 

28 Jan 2025 23:28:20
Eds I was taking the dog for a walk on Sunday (yellow Labrador) and I thought I go past the local football pitches where there were a couple of games going on. Some would say I should put her on a lead in such circumstances but she hardly ever goes on the pitch and only occasionally chases the ball so I thought I’d risk it. Anyway, I digress.

There was a fella who played for the away team who played in blue and white striped shirts, white shorts and white socks with a blue band around the top. This guy was a tad overweight and went by the name of Johnno.

Anyway he’s picked the ball up 35 yards out bumbled forward 10 yards, barging a defender out of the way and hit and absolute screamer into the top right bin! Honestly it was one of the best goals you’ll ever see in pub football!

Anyway my question is, do we have any interest?

1.) 28 Jan 2025 23:31:46

@Faithinworks, we used to have Jan Molby who moved only within 4 sqm of field.

Pretty sure that would have been my older brother, fatty Burke. He's a toffee, no chance he'll sign. Sign on maybe.

7.) 29 Jan 2025 09:32:06
Lol, had to dig deep into archives to find that one.


8.) 29 Jan 2025 09:55:23
I just wish he hadn’t taken his shirt off for the celebration! The dog is still traumatised!


9.) 29 Jan 2025 11:35:59
You should always keep your dog on a lead in public.


10.) 29 Jan 2025 11:37:26
Jan Molby was a great player though, as 2Shoes says, honestly one of the best passers of the ball we have ever had.


11.) 29 Jan 2025 12:03:18
He actually took his "SHORTS" off to show him his "Beckers pecker"

Not wanting to embarrass you further "Miss" "BP" but there is a rumour circulating that you actually "sit down" on the toilet seat, it's that little!


12.) 29 Jan 2025 13:57:42
Thanks 007 I wouldn’t expect anything else from you.

And Babbity thanks for the tip but I’ll completely ignore it if it’s all the same to you. There are plenty of people I could mention that should be kept on a lead before my dog should.

"Woof" - "Woof"


 

 

08 Jan 2025 09:11:14
Ed1 just a quick note to let you know I won’t be posting on the site anymore.

I’m getting fed up with the underhand tactics to get me to click on your adverts. 80% of the time I don’t get to the end of a post before the text box disappears and I inadvertently click on an advert so then have to start the post all over again.

Very clever from you but extremely frustrating for loyal users of your site. I don’t like being manipulated. If you want me to click on some adverts just ask.

Beckers pecker

{Ed001's Note - I haven't done that, cheeky get! If you are having a problem with them, as I keep telling people, tell us so we can get it looked at. It is not supposed to do that and we don't manipulate people. We have never done that and I am disgusted that you are such a prick you jumped to that conclusion rather than mentioned we have a problem. It is clearly true that we judge others by our own selves though, so I think it says more about you than me.

Instead of making nasty accusations, you could have mentioned it the moment it started. All it would have taken is one message in the contact form or like this explaining what you are using and when it happens and it can be fixed. Instead you act the big arsehole and throw a tantrum.}


1.) 08 Jan 2025 09:23:58
Ed001 mines done it a few times recently mate but I honestly thought it was a problem with the I phone over the site itself as it doesn’t do it from my works laptop top.

{Ed001's Note - so that narrows down the issue to only happening on a phone, thank you JK.}


2.) 08 Jan 2025 09:35:23
A round of applause for customer service. I’ve mentioned the problem a couple of times but, oddly, the posts never made it onto the threads. Did that the posts were at odds with your opinions.

{Ed001's Note - I have never seen that at all. Nothing about it. If I had I would have told Ed33 there was a problem immediately as I have done now. In future there is a contact form on the site, you can use it to contact Ed33 directly. Adding the mention onto threads is harrdly the way to go about it, especially as so many posts of yours are just snide digs at other posters and get deleted. If it is on the end of something like that, it would have not even got read as the first bit would have put it straight into the bin. Perhaps if you had tried the contact form or a fresh post to mention an issue it would have reached me.

You are always welcome to go elsewhere if you have problems with the service you receive for the sum total of f all that you give.}


3.) 08 Jan 2025 09:42:08
Ed001 no worries mate. It doesn’t even happen that much from my phone anyways.

It happens every time I initially load onto a page (rumour, banter, discussion) but the advert comes up after like 30 seconds.

Easiest way round it is to wait for the advert and then close it and start typing a comment or reply as the advert doesn’t appear again unless I change page or refresh.

It’s hardly a deal breaker though. Lfc fans leaving because of new owners is one thing but leaving because there is an advert is a bit extreme ?.

I’ll be honest though I’ve had many a debate with BP on here and I hope he isn’t gone to long as i do enjoy reading his posts and the back and forth.

{Ed001's Note - ah so an ad loads up late and closes the text box then. Thank you for that detail and for giving a workaround out for others while we get it fixed.

I just don't understand why he felt the need to make an accusation like that. If it was all about the money, we would be flooding it with clickbait, not doing stuff like that. The editors don't even have the ads on our edit pages etc, which we could easily do if we were all about money as those edit pages are constantly opening and refreshing all day long. So we don't see issues with them.}


4.) 08 Jan 2025 09:54:17
Actually as I travel a bit i notice it is different in each country with the USA being the worst by far, Ireland and UK i find fine and Europe just a little worst.
Though I will say every site I visit in the US is a hardship with ads, most I give up on.
Not sure if that helps but thought I'd add it just in case.

{Ed001's Note - really? On our sites you mean? Or just in general?


5.) 08 Jan 2025 09:57:06
That’s bang out of order BP. It’s obvious when you read Ed001’s posts that he’s not that type of guy at all.

The whole feel of this site is different and always has been, I think that’s why so many people stay (and why it’s not for some, thank goodness) .

You can tell how much time and effort Ed001 puts into this site, it sounds like it’s pretty much full stop.

The Ads are needed to make the site viable. Give the guy a break, and appreciate how much he (and the other Eds) put into keeping this amazing site going.

Thanks ED001 (and all the other Eds) most of us on here really appreciate everything you do.

{Ed001's Note - thank you Footy. It is pretty much my life these days editing the sites. We have always tried to keep away from stuff like clickbait and try to just make the sites interesting, entertaining and informative. We don't keep email addresses because people accused us of selling them. We try not to store any info at all, so it can't even be stolen from us. We don't sell anything on. We just try and keep it as simple as possible so that it is easy for anyone to access and free to use. The ads are provided to us by an agency and sometimes there are issues with compatibility as Ed33 built the sites himself, rather than using a template.}


6.) 08 Jan 2025 09:57:48
Ed001 on mine the advert overlaps the text box and doesn’t close it so with it being touch screen and typing more often than not you hit it and it opens up fully.

I genuinely still believe it’s the phone though over the site mate.

{Ed001's Note - it could be a bit of both. What phone do you use?}


7.) 08 Jan 2025 10:06:30
Yes on as I check this site most days regardless of where I am. As I said perfect in Ireland and UK, pain in the ba kside in US, the video follows you down the page all the time leaving only a couple of posts available to read. I can close it but it starts again, plus the ads (like the big sports company ones) get bigger and bigger nearly taking a full page.
I'm heading back you US today, I'll screenshot some examples and stick them in 'Sightings', obviously don't post them ???.

{Ed001's Note - yeah thanks mate. I never knew that was even possible to have them different depending on where you are. I mean size and number. I thought you would just get different companies and ads when in another country. I will have to sit down and have a proper chat with the agency we use and ask exactly what is happening.}


8.) 08 Jan 2025 10:12:02
For what it's worth. I'm in South Africa and use a Samsung phone, and I've never had any issues with any ads.

{Ed001's Note - so it could very well be related to location then? Thanks JLC.}


9.) 08 Jan 2025 10:14:58
It's not a problem to me but what's the thing about snide digs?
It's a football banter site and we can have digs at each other and fans of other clubs, can't we? We don't all have to get agree and get on and not doing so keeps the discussions going and encourages new ones.
The Eds themselves have digs, some of which could be seen as snide, and banter and so they should. It's great when Ed025 has the audacity to wind us up and people bite. He's an Everton fan, why shouldn't he?

{Ed001's Note - because there is a line where it is clear it is not meant as banter, and it does nothing but make for a nasty atmosphere as people then reply in kind.}


10.) 08 Jan 2025 10:23:12
In my experience it’s definitely linked to the phone you use and it’s worse on smaller screens. I get it occasionally on my IPhone 13 but it’s never an issue on my laptop/ ipad/ android tablet.

{Ed001's Note - ok thanks Johnny.}


11.) 08 Jan 2025 10:29:47
Unbelievable some people. This site costs nowt it has good articles and info you don’t get elsewhere and some good opinions and some not so good who really cares. Some people need to get over themselves and enjoy this site for what it is. Brilliantly edited by all the Ed’s with loads of good debate and banter on many subjects. Keep going ed001. I think now we can see what ed002 had to put up with god rest his soul
Up the pool.

{Ed001's Note - thank you mate.}


12.) 08 Jan 2025 10:32:49
Isn't calling someone a 'prick', an 'idiot' or a 'moron' making for a nasty atmosphere, Ed001?
I know you have a lot on but refraining from such digs would lead to a less nasty atmosphere, as well.

{Ed001's Note - in this case he deserved it. You make false accusations like that and you get what is coming to you.

In general, I do agree and usually I try and reread and rewrite my replies rather than do that. I used to only post a reply after rewriting it at least 4 times to ensure it was aimed squarely at creating convo. However I simply don't have time any more, which is why I tend to rarely bother to even reply at all. It is normal when talking with mates to refer to them that way, but then you have to remember this is not just a convo with Bazza and he won't just call me a c-unit back and laugh, for example.}


13.) 08 Jan 2025 10:40:21
Ed1 - I'm certain it's a device issue, I had problems on an older device but now on the Pixel 9 I don't have many, ads are there and I accidentally click them from time to time but that's a user fault not a site fault. They do get in the way at times but not to a point where it's not possible to post, certainly not for me anyway.

{Ed001's Note - ok thanks Salah. We will have to look at it still, I don't want the sites to exclude people simply because they may not be able to afford the latest phone. The whole point of them being free is so they are open to all.}


14.) 08 Jan 2025 10:44:44
Ed001 I phone 15 mate.

{Ed001's Note - thank you JK.}


15.) 08 Jan 2025 10:58:58
Ed33 just asked me, which text box is it that is having problems? Is it the create new post one?


16.) 08 Jan 2025 11:20:05
Hi Ed,

Just a quick heads up. I did notice this a while ago too but it very much happens more so on my phone than on my work pc. It's not really a problem for me other than the odd time I inadvertently clicked on a couple of ads due to my fat fingers on my phone.

On the plus side however, I do now have an 18 month subscription to Viagra and I'm also marrying a fine Vietnamese lady called Geoff next week so. every cloud.

{Ed001's Note - glad it is working out well for you mate. I hope you and Geoff will be very happy together.}


17.) 08 Jan 2025 11:29:46
:-) Tbh I think she's just after my Viagra!

{Ed001's Note - could well be mate. After all you have only got 2 shoes so she can't be after your money.

Btw for those wondering, I have held a few of theseposts for Ed33 to read. Seemed easier than me copyjng and pasting it into our editors widget.}


18.) 08 Jan 2025 11:21:04
Ed it’s the ‘reply to above post’ text box.

Rigsby I’m sure a few years ago me and you called each other a prick on here ?.

Amazingly neither of us made a huge deal of it and carried on with our daily lives ?.

{Ed033's Note - Thanks, btw to visitors of this site, we have no actual control over what type of ads that get displayed or when they get displayed.


19.) 08 Jan 2025 11:28:08
Mine is "reply to above post" text box only, create a new post seems to be ok. This comment is from my phone and nothing happen, no such issues like the one I said before. Maybe its just a temporary issue.

{Ed033's Note - Thanks for the feedback


20.) 08 Jan 2025 11:35:43
I live in the UK, and occasionally have a problem with adverts popping up. I have a Samsung phone. I've never felt the urge to seek legal advice or make scurrilous accusations towards you Ed01, because of it!

I'm with JK, I did enjoy a written spat with Beckers, so hope he may return in the future. Perhaps he's having a bad day?


21.) 08 Jan 2025 11:36:53
ED01 (and channeling my inner "Karen", "I would like to speak with your manager, please".

{Ed001's Note - do Karens say please?}


22.) 08 Jan 2025 11:39:38
Jesus BP. Completely out of order. Just bring it to the EDs attention like a normal person ?‍♂️.


23.) 08 Jan 2025 11:40:24
Brilliant 2Shoes! For the record, I'm Geoff from Vietnam, please go easy with me!


24.) 08 Jan 2025 12:08:42
Ha ha. I think you broke Pecker Ed.

It is true though that you should give us all your time and energy for free despite the fact you don't charge us anything. You could eat grass and wild berries with Ed033.
Only venturing out of the woods to find wifi so you can answer our questions on a whim. ?.

{Ed001's Note - that actually sounds very close to how I do live. But that is more down to the missus having issues with her blood sugar levels, which apparently means I have to cut back on sugar too. Even though my levels are fine.}


25.) 08 Jan 2025 12:33:47
I just wait, click the "x" on the add, no drama. My life is not that hectic that I need to be freaking out over a pop up add, that wasn't put there as click-bait by the Eds. Peace and love! PS: An add for Tesco popped while writing this :) I'm in Dublin, and on a Xioami 12T hahaha.

{Ed001's Note - your life must be boring if you only get Tesco ads!}


26.) 08 Jan 2025 12:38:07
I have a similar issue on an iPhone 14 but I assumed it was my phone/ browser. Basically whilst I am typing, my keyboard will suddenly minimise itself mid-typing and then I accidentally click on the advert that was underneath my touch screen keyboard. Sometimes you get lucky and it opens a new tab so you don't lose everything you've typed, but other times it opens in the same tab and then I lose everything I've typed. Which for those of you who know me well, can sometimes be quite a lot of words!

I have no issues on my laptop because it's not touch screen so I can't accidentally tap and advert as there is no onscreen keyboard. A quick solution may be to have all Adverts open in a new tab on Mobile devices as that way people wouldn't lose anything they'd already typed, and could just jump back to the tab they were typing on.

Beckers, you've missed the mark big time with this post, if this site was about money t wouldn't still be free. You can't even read most online new blogs nowadays without subscribing for a monthly fee. It's more likely a software update on your phone that's causing the issue, and certainly won't be a deliberate ploy by Ed033 to get more Advertisement money. He lives in the Dungeon feeding off of scraps, and Skeleditor001 takes all of the money for himself. The last time Ed033 saw Sunlight was 2001.

{Ed001's Note - he doesn't need sunlight, that would just be spoiling him.}


27.) 08 Jan 2025 12:46:12
You were right to, JK ?.
Anything nasty should be just deleted. We can all have a Barney, hive a few digs and wind up each other up without the need for nastiness.
I do realise that we don't see a lot of the nastiness because of the Eds and I also realise that the written word can be taken out of context so I don't envy them for the job they do.
As Oli would say: peace.


28.) 08 Jan 2025 12:12:58
I do always have issues with the text box. I simply write whatever I am sending in a normal text to myself and then copy and paste it onto here. can't believe the audacity and rudeness of the OP though.


29.) 08 Jan 2025 13:07:23
On a phone (I've had it with a couple of different ones) the little cross to close an ad hides behind the "Create New Post" tab on the right, so you can't close the ad and it takes about half the screen. Example is the 32Red ad. If you spin it sideways into landscape, you can get to the cross though.

{Ed033's Note - Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on the ads.

Btw to OliRed, Ed001's manager is the Creator of this unknown Realm we live in. ;-)


30.) 08 Jan 2025 13:37:47
Never had a problem with ad's. I use a Samsung phone.


31.) 08 Jan 2025 13:40:10
For me it depends which ads pop up, some seem to affect useability more than others but ultimately its usually a click of an x and they're gone, on the laptop its always sound and it's definitely only a phone thing, but it's also certainly not always just now and then.
I use a samsung and 95% of the time there's no dramas,
Just some feedback that might be helpful.

{Ed033's Note - Thanks.


32.) 08 Jan 2025 14:02:16
You're a good guy Tris. You can't run a site like this without taking heat every once and a while. Especially with this community which as I have explained before is slightly challenged. But I like to think you know by now, that vast majority on here really appreciate your knowledge and find you very likeable. Keep trucking on like you are please.

{Ed001's Note - thank you Davey. It does feel like care in the community at times.}


33.) 08 Jan 2025 14:36:11
@ Rome1977.I look forward to meeting you and leading you up my garden path. (I think that's what they call it in Vietnam? )


34.) 08 Jan 2025 14:55:45
"Ed001's Note - do Karens say please? "


On a bad makeup day? Yes.


35.) 08 Jan 2025 15:34:23
I wrote about the loss of civility yesterday, and then I read this today. Let's cool it down, everyone. This is a community, and when we have a problem, we try to resolve it rather than accusing each other and mudslinging!
I believe we should show Ed001 and the other Eds more courtesy and stop these attacks! We don't pay a dime for this awesome community they've put and yet we sometimes come across as being so entitled. If you have a technical issue, point it out. This site belongs to ALL of us, whether we're Eds or not! Please let's show some common decency and self-respect! You don't burn your house down because the you saw a scratch on your wall, or because the paint is fading, or because you lost power. I see ads everyday and I just deal with it.
We lost Ed002 a few weeks ago, and we should be calm about things and a bit more introspective. Let's keep this community sane, please!
YNWA.


36.) 08 Jan 2025 15:46:56
They say football is going soft then you see fans spitting dummies out cos an advert got in the way of the screen?. I’m a big hairy arsed builder I imagine all you lot to be the same grown ass men. I don’t mind being called a prick it’s a lighter part of my daily vocabulary. As for adverts I don’t really notice them much it’s a free site on some sites you get hammered.


37.) 08 Jan 2025 16:24:04
Lol love it john.


38.) 08 Jan 2025 16:37:12
I think people are getting these ads just as they are about to like my posts, too. It needs sorting out.

It's nice to hear about another Xiaomi user, too. Great phones for those of us on a budget.

{Ed025's Note - its being looked at as we speak Rigsby..


39.) 08 Jan 2025 16:46:01
Rigsby, my son has a Xiaomi phone, I couldn't tell you which version but they are indeed good phones mate, I had one a few years back and never had an issue with it.


40.) 08 Jan 2025 16:45:21
I apologise if I was out of order Ed1 I’d just had enough of typing out replies only for my keyboard to disappear and I click on an advert and lose the lot. Very frustrating and I may have put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5.

Again, I apologise I didn’t expect you to post that I just didn’t know how else to put forward my frustrations so I put it in a post.

Regardless, I’ve been contemplating leaving the site for a while anyway as I just can’t handle the negativity anymore. Life can be hard enough without listening to the infuriating views of some of the most negative people I’ve ever had the misfortune to encounter. It’s hard not to bite.

It’s a shame because I have enjoyed the site for years but it’s just not for me anymore. Take care mate, I wish you and all of the posters all the best for the future.

{Ed001's Note - why does no one tell us when it happens initially? If there are issues, we would like to know about them so we can fix them!

Take care of yourself BP.}


41.) 08 Jan 2025 15:40:02
Seeing as it's being spoken about, yes this happens to me as well, but only on phones. It happened on my old iPhone and it still happens on my Google Pixel but never on desktop. Cheers!


42.) 08 Jan 2025 17:48:29
Come on Becker lad. Have a week off come back refreshed we all have hissy fits look on the bright side you’ve created a giant thread today posters who probably never interact with you have took time to take the p*ss see it’s not just footy what we here for it is the banter ( and the adverts ?)


43.) 08 Jan 2025 17:54:57
BP - you're a sausage you are mate, we know you can't keep away from the site whether you post or not lol. Disrespectful post but fair play to you for apologising.


44.) 08 Jan 2025 17:28:00
I get that and I was out of order jumping to that conclusion.

I know we’ve had spats in the past as I have with other posters but there’s no hard feelings my end.

Take it easy reds and let’s go and win this league!


45.) 08 Jan 2025 17:28:00

46.) 08 Jan 2025 19:05:20
It’s happened to me on my iPhone, actually happened with my last post.

No matter, the ads give the site owners a little bit of support to keep this thing going.

Even if it was a deliberate ploy - I’m sure it isn’t - it helps support the site. Big deal- first world problem.


47.) 08 Jan 2025 19:08:15
I guess this is subjective, but in my opinion, overall, there has been more positive posts on this site than negative, and I've been on this site for some years now.
Either way, you reserve the right to exercise your freedom of association, which you've clearly exercised. But you've been one of the more frequent poster on this site and should be helping to make it a stronger and tighter community rather than walking away, especially under the current circumstances. Just a thought. YNWA.


 

 

15 Dec 2024 00:08:58
Not the result we wanted to today but wow what resilience these guys are showing.

These types of games are vital in galvanising the team and bringing them together. We saw that last season.

Definitely a point gained in a game where after 16 minutes we were dead and buried.

The desire these boys are showing should make us all extremely proud of them. I know I am.

Beckers pecker

1.) 15 Dec 2024 00:10:32
Well said @BP, spot on.


2.) 15 Dec 2024 00:55:37
Yeah I agree with you completely.

And man, that kid Elliott, i hope he get more minutes!


3.) 15 Dec 2024 07:24:25
Yeh great resilience but equally these are the type of games we need to be winning. Of course take a point given where we were at 1-0 and 10 men but awful from Robbo to put us in that position. Fast turning into a liability.

Have to say I thought the earlier challenge on him was an obvious straight red. Reckless and knee height.


4.) 15 Dec 2024 07:27:30
we're having a wobble, and remain unbeaten despite of it.
Sterner tests lie ahead, and the injury prone players and thin areas of the squad will expose us further, but if we can continue to find a way to not get beaten, it bodes well for our title aspirations.


5.) 15 Dec 2024 07:41:51
Liverpool at 10 men played better, but that sometimes happens. We didn't deserve to lose that game the way we took it to Fulham, so all in all a fair end result.
Robertson I think has no lost a bit of confidence for what ever reason and making a few to many rash challenges and this is hurting us. Losing Konate too has been a big upset and could do with him back.
Jota showed for me, why he has to be the main striker when fit as he finishes and Nunez doesn't.


6.) 15 Dec 2024 08:13:28
Ive always spoken up for Nunez but I can see him being moved on in summer. I'm not sure he fits into Slots team.


7.) 15 Dec 2024 09:07:34
@Baz, the tackles aren’t rash they are just the result of Robbo being half a step behind where he was in his prime. Hif legs have gone and his timing is failing.


8.) 15 Dec 2024 09:09:03
That kind of performance can be massive for the squad in the title race.

Szobo was immense as well.


9.) 15 Dec 2024 09:29:40
Nice one, BP. I see people talking like it is 2 points dropped. How any one can thing it was 2 points dropped, beggars belief. It's not like we were ahead, got a red card and gave up the equalizer at the last minutes. That would be 2 points dropped. A youtuber said that was the worst first half under Slot conveniently omitting that we played 30 mis or so with 10 men. This is the type of rubbish we deal with from own fans, sadly.

We played about 75/ 80 mins (if you add injury time) with 10 men, chasing the game even while it was clear our boys were gassed yet Fulham couldn't really lay a glove on us through out that second half. In fact with 10 men, we dominated the game esp. thanks to SLot's adjustments, the subs who executed their roles well to the point that Fulham were on the rack. We got what our effort and bravery deserved which was NOT lose. Really proud of pur boys, fans and the manager. On to the EFL.


10.) 15 Dec 2024 09:37:18
Some people, somehow, don't see what Szobo brings to the team though Faith.


11.) 15 Dec 2024 14:04:28
JLC, I see it. I just want him to be more decisive in the final third with his decision-making. Apart from that, he is absolutely immense for us.


12.) 15 Dec 2024 14:48:03
Agreed Oli.
Of course there will be aspects that he can improve on, but that applies to EVERY footballer on the planet.

These witch hunts are becoming tiresome now.


 

 

04 Dec 2024 21:57:57
Arsenal 2-0 up from guess what? 2 set pieces. Stoke on steroids.

When are the refs going to get a grip on their fouling at set pieces though. That second goal Saliba literally had both hands on Hojlunds back pushing him under the ball.

Anywhere else on the pitch if you touch anyone with your hands it’s a foul. Why not there?

Higher bar in the penalty area
So he would have to body slam him to the floor to get penalised there.

Take it to the arsenal page.

About the same time that the refs are consistent in the decision making BP.

Did liverpool play tonight?


5.) 04 Dec 2024 22:10:54
Not for me. He Just bullied him about a bit. They are Stoke though, boring but effective.


6.) 04 Dec 2024 22:13:12
He nearly did! He had hold of his shirt with both hands and nearly pulled it off his back! Then to add insult to injury the ball then went in off his backside!

It’s a foul I really don’t understand how that’s not given.

This is the Liverpool page

lol

but anyways, Arsenal are very good at set piece time. haven't watched their goals today but in general thing they walk the fine line well.


8.) 04 Dec 2024 22:54:10
Good to see their set-piece coach still getting some great camera time, as well @Faith.


9.) 05 Dec 2024 05:48:24
Do people honestly really care that much about Arsenal?


10.) 05 Dec 2024 06:08:39
To be fair I don’t like what arsenal do on set pieces either sandwiching the keeper with the player in front backing into him aggressively getting him off balance and both players making it so that he can’t make a move to get the ball, I’m not sure how that’s legal but if they’re going to make the most of that advantage until the league decide whether to do something about it then fair play I guess, doesn’t mean that we have to like it or call it smart football.


11.) 05 Dec 2024 10:07:24
Patrik, Arsenal can do whatever they want if the ref is allowing it. What I can't stand is their many of their whiny little fans crying and whinging when the very exact same things are done to them by other teams and claiming the refs are out to get them. That's all Im saying.

What happened to forget other teams preaching malarky.

By the way I think all three are staying but just thought I’d put a different perspective to you guys and see what you think.

Has anyone ever stopped to think that maybe Slot doesn’t want them to stay? Or at least doesn’t mind if they don’t.

Hear me out on this.

As long as we have Trent and Salah on the right then that side will be targeted. Salah doesn’t track back and Trent gets done by pace running at him and has the odd defensive brain fart.

Slot likes to set up his team to be solid defensively so maybe, just maybe, Trent and Salah leaving allows him to bring in a left winger that will play more the way he wants and Bradley, who is infinitely more defensively aggressive than Trent can come in and solidify that side.

He can’t drop Salah or Trent because of what they give us in attack and the status both have at the club but when/ if they are gone he can start to put his own mark on this squad and start to build his own team.

I’m not saying this is true but just looking at it from a different angle.

I think you’re spot on MK. Everyone keeps going on about replacements but anyone who knows anyone about football will know that you can very rarely ‘replace’ a player like for like. No 2 players in the history of football have ever been like for like.

The team just evolves and adapts and the threat comes from elsewhere.

We already have enough firepower at the club to replace Salah’s goals.

The away fans have been in the same place since I first went to Anfield in 1983 and I don’t know how many years before that and that’s the first time I’ve ever heard anyone complain about it.

Some will look for anything to confirm their agenda whether it’s true or not.

Forest Navy? How about Newcastle?

Nunez has found his minutes limited this season as he’s admitted himself he’s been going through a difficult spell but let’s not change history to suit your narrative.

JK the opinions would've been exactly the same had we exited the Carabao cup early on but the closer you get to a final the more importance you put on it. Even then, you can bet your life that if we'd had the Everton game on Sunday instead of Plymouth in the cup the team against Spurs would've been very different.

At the start of the season the 2 domestic cups are the least important. You make changes in those games depending on the team you are playing and the upcoming workload to keep the main players fresh for the League and the Champions League.

You know this but you seem to be intent on arguing about it.

Did you really just say that redrebel? Their first 11 can barely win a game and you’re jealous of their bench?

You’re spot on Faith. Everyone keeps saying we are always is this position and always blow it but I can’t remember one season where we had this kind of lead other than 2020.

Furthermore we dropped off at the end of last season but that’s the only season I can think of where that happened. Otherwise we have gone toe to toe, win to win against City right to the end.

Coulred if you try to stretch your foot out forwards whilst jumping you will see that your hands naturally want to come up. It’s because you are shifting your centre of gravity forwards so your hands and arms go up and back to balance you.

That being said he should’ve been aware of where he was and consciously kept his arms down. If you put your hands above your head in the box you are asking for trouble.

Sami you are so far off the mark it's ridiculous.

You can't base an opinion on players based on one game where we had a team thrown together with a mix of academy players, fringe players and a couple of first team players.

Did you expect Diaz, Jota and Nunez to just go and win the game on their own?

This was not even a team of 2nd choice players.

That team would be:

Kelleher
Bradley Gomez Quansah Tsimikas
Endo Jones Elliot
Chiesa Nunez Jota

You name me one other team in world football who can drop every single first choice player and still put out a side as good as that.

There aren't any I can tell you. It's not as good as the first 11 but that's why they are the second 11.

Those players are only meant to cover when the first choice need a rest or are injured and all of them are perfectly capable of that. Even if we had all 11 first choice players injured we could still win games against the majority Premier League teams but when you throw in a few inexperienced kids into key positions on the pitch it is bound to have an affect on the performance.

If Arsenal want to watch that game yesterday and think is has any relevance to our first team then they are stupid. It wasn't even our squad players so it has no relevance whatsoever.
