The Football.....

Christ on a bike. @PaulSB if your posts about Liverpool reflect a team you don't support I can't begin to contemplate what your views on a team you actually do support are!

Anyway, if Blackburn is your true passion, why not post more about them more than Liverpool. Otherwise you might give the (undeserved, obviously...) impression of being a plastic fan

Are you confusing him with PaulB?

Could well be.

Apologies all round to both @PaulB and @PaulSB !

I'll leave my post up just as a historical record of my idiocy.

"We"?

Don't you normally claim to be a Liverpool fan, or have I got you mixed up with someone else?

You absolutely have mixed me up with another poster - PaulB.

I'm a great admirer of Liverpool, have been all my life, but I'm a Rover..........and always will be. 👍

First post I just laughed and now I've seen this one. You don't seem to follow this thread very closely. If you did you'll see I do post about Rovers. Thanks for the apology.

I'm a dyed in the wool Rover, all my kids are Rovers despite pleading to follow Utd 'cos their mates.

FYI there is no such team as Blackburn. We are Blackburn Rovers or Rovers. Nothing else.

So, say the deal was half way between those figures which is £15.75m and he was in charge for 22 games, I've worked it out that the cost to Everton for each of those 22 games was roughly 'a mere' £681,000! That makes Sam Allardyce's payouts for being sacked long before completion of contract look quite paltry!

..... or £2.25m per win?

..... or £2.25m per win?

Does this include travel expenses?

This made me chuckle.

Ten Hag, best coach Utrecht ever had although he never won anything. Be prepared for some bewildering team selections and inexplicable substitutions. In the Dutch cup final last weekend, he left Seb Haller, the Eredivisie's top scorer on the bench and blooded a teenager who had a mare. Ajax went in at half time 2-0 up, out came Ten Hag's substitutions and Ajax lost 2-3. Ho, ho.

I almost chuckled, then remembered we have got Chelsea on Thursday.

I’ve just about given up - again. There’s no plan. No game plan, no long term strategy and little point as long as the club is having its ‘gizzards torn at by vulture capitalists’.

But you can retain your sense of humour.

That's it, let's just hope it's Keano and Scholsey in the studio on Thursday to cheer us up.

LFC vs Everton. An interesting stat' I read (I know some people don't like them) BUT.......our midfielder, Thiago, completed more passes than the whole Everton team combined.
Sobering, though I doubt Frank will enjoy reading it.

Decent enough game at the Etihad last night despite Madrid parking the bus
