I didn't find the league any less entertaining two years ago when the cunt wasn't here. I don't get what he brings in that sense to football.

Ahh, it's just a game. He makes the whole thing more interesting. Of course he's a first class Cunt but come on... You gotta love to hate him.
See, I don't get this. I just hate him. I'd much rather there were fewer things to get wound up about in football; I'd rather there weren't so many things eroding my enjoyment of it. Fifa, Sky's coverage, hysterical fans, abysmal refereeing, former players as pundits - there are already plenty of things in football that detract from the basic enjoyment of the game itself. I would have no problem whatsoever if another, in Mourinho, was removed from orbit.
Beautifully put sir.
Very much so.
Football as an entertainment business pisses me off no end.
Close ups of managers covering the corner of the actual pitch & match you're trying to watch sums it up for me.
The 'industry' is trying to create stories & events around the match, they couldn't give two fucks about the football unless it adds to their narrative.
It's all bollocks, & the sad thing is the younger generation don't know any better, so for them it's all about these pantomime characters that the media has made of people in the game, of headlines instead of back pages.
Sky have convinced too many that football is about entertainment. It's not. Entertainment is secondary to the fact that football is a sport.
But Sky have to convince as they lavish billions of pounds to these sports.
In some respects, I don't care how we win (save cheating), as long as we win. If we entertain then that's good for our fans. But we are not here to entertain the masses. That's just what Sky and the others want you to believe.

I wish all the matches kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday. I loved those days.
I'm a bit more ambivalent.
When I watch my kids play football for their teams it's all about sport and their development. I want them to do well, improve and enjoy taking pride in their efforts.
When I watch Liverpool, although I want us to win with every fibre of my being, I also want to be entertained.
So much this. I find myself muttering almost everytime these days when that happens (or when they pan to the fans / owners in the stands): "Fuck off, I don't wanna look at that old wrinkly shitface... play is on - show me the game you fucking dick heads!".
* Well, unless it's Linda on the screen, or some Swedish / Brazilian / Korean lady in the stands which they're zooming into.
Agreed. I'd have happily taken grinding out 1-0 victories under Ged or Rafa if it meant we had a title in the bag. I bet Arsenal fans would happily go back to George Graham's longball shite from their current pathetic posturing if it meant regular titles too. I don't give a flying fuck what the man in the street thinks about how we play or what we do on or off the pitch. I would be entertained by winning. Anyone who is not a red has nothing to do with me, my club, the city, whatever. Who gives a shit if some no-mark from Kidderminster or Ashford or Dawlish thinks we play entertaining football? The man in the street is a fucking idiot being spoon-fed agenda-driven bollocks by a increasingly hysterical media.
Yeah, but the massive flaw in this is that, over about 9/10 years, neither Rafa or Ged succeeded in winning the title between them, so banging on about grinding out wins is neither here nor there, we got closer to winning the title last year, than we did with either of them.
*I don't mean that arsey, but people talk about Rafa's school of thought as though it was a resounding success, it worked on some stages but not on others. We'll probably be able to say the same of Rodgers, but there's more attack minded teams who have sustained success, than the more pragmatic ones.
Yep. I'm with you on this one.
Didn't win though did we.
After we won our 7th or 8th league title on the bounce playing dull defensive footy I might start thinking I'd like to be entertained. Maybe.
Who gives a fuck really. Under Rafa we played some games where we only attacked with the aim of relieving pressure from the defence. We were playing against sides with better players & resources & had no choice, but regardless, those wins were still sweet as fuck.
Winning. That's what matters, the manner doesn't. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to revisit their Liverpool history. And that of most successful sides.
Whilst many successful sides have games in which they canter to a win & demolish teams, they have many more where they grind out results. Those games build confidence & that makes the odd incredible performance more likely.
Right now we remind me of a spurs side under Redknapp or an Arsenal side of the last few years, loads of tippy tippy build up, the odd blistering foray forwards, plenty of half chances but very few solid gift edged chances that should be converted.

I agree with everything there FFF until the last paragraph. In the two games against Chelsea alone we had 6/7 clear cut chances that SHOULD have been converted.
Maureen as ridiculously transparent as usual: following his completely out of character show of sportsmanship last Saturday, last night he was denouncing Rodgers for sounding bitter in defeat rather than magnanimous like he always is. And there wasn't so much as a snigger among the gormless hacks. Rodgers had better not call and apologise like he did last time. It's high time he cut all ties with that devious little tit.
Unless Rodgers is stupid he should have realised by now that any 'friendship' they may have had is completely irrelevant to Mourinho if it gets in the way of Jose trying to get an advantage in some way.
I know you're an admin and founder, but this is some bannable shit here.
He really pissed me off last night, the way he questioned every decision that went against Chelsea, yet he failed to see Costa stamping on Can right under his fucking nose.
I also loved the fact he thought the penalty was given, and he turned around in his usual audacious arrogant manner, totally convinced, only to realise about 10 seconds later it wasn't given. Just a pity the cunts won in the end.

Any trophy they win means nothing really. The plaything and trinket of a ridiculous Russian mobster. At least the Citeh fans I know act with a little understanding that they won the lottery. These cunts are clueless and classless and any player that signs for them is without romance or soul.
The most vile football club on earth as far as I'm concerned.

Ha. It's true though. Spurs under Redknapp often played great football with fuck all end product & a constant knowledge that the defence had a fuck up in them.
There's no point saying we SHOULD have scored. We just didn't. Scoring those goals is what makes you a good team.
Worse than Arsenal??
Can't we ban anyone who mentions the cunts name, it's about time he was banished to room 101. Not good for the blood pressure watching the ball bags antics as it is
He's now moaning that Jamie Redknapp, that well-known intellectual, has turned everyone against him and his club due to his excoriating on-screen critiques. I can't think of another genuinely top manager who would give a toss. At heart he's still a translator with a clipboard in his hand and a chip on his shoulder.
Arsenal? Chelsea? What about the freakin Mancs? We're Liverpool fans FFS.
