Liverpool fc.
2nd game in a row they have managed to lose after leading 2 nil.
No more friendlies left so its not looking good.
Preseason friendlies have little bearing on the rest of the season. It's just about getting players moving again, integrating new players, getting a chance to see some youngsters that might be on their way into the squad, and possibly shop-windowing a bit of the surplus squad.
Disclaimer: Arsenal have lost two out of three friendlies so far this preseason, so I may just be looking for the silver lining

Friendlies are just bullshit, and when the flag drops...
So Jeff Bezoss is hoping to buy 30% of LFC.
The money is huge nowadays.
Its been a business for many years but its becoming more blatant and obscene now.
Its got to be better than when Hicks and Gillett nearly destroyed us but its still worrying.
Said it before but I recalling the the great Stanley Matthews travelled to the ground by bus, carrying his boots in a paper bag.

Interesting. How do you think they'll grow the club in the era of SCR? Mega shirt deal for Amazon Prime?

It's a business, but ownership doesn't strike me as profitable, except for money-launderers or anyone getting in via a leveraged buy-out (the debt you use to buy the club becomes the club's debt and once it's eventually paid off you own the club outright)
Main shirt sponsor: Amazon Prime. Shirt sleave sponsor: Twitch. Stadium naming: Amazon. Tie in sponsors and partners: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Kindle, Goodreads, Audible, Ring and Zoox....

If anyone has a spare 45mins, this is a very good watch. Bygone era and all that

Love Uncle Tone. Saw him play alongside Pallister once and thought Man U were chasing the wrong guy.
When we had him, they sorted out some personalised biscuits for him in a box labelled 'the gaffer's jaffas'

Bertie Mee and the soon to be double winning Arsenal team (well a season or two later)?
Yes, I'll have a bit of that, thanks.
Incidentally, Bertie Mee, who spent so long at Highbury (six years as physio, ten years as manager) was born in Highbury Vale. Not as local as you might think, it's in Nottingham!
