I might be a secret Liverpool fan if that is the criteria..
Not sure what that makes me, I not only replayed our games but I made Arsenal replay all theirs until they lost and got relegated. They then won promotion but I did it again the following season. By that point any decent players they had left were asking to leave the club and their morale was all in the red.

Well the first Luton forum I found it was mostly them complaining about wokeness and female pundits, so I think that tells me all I need to know about them.

You think that’s bad… back when it was Championship Manager, before it changed to FM, I used to add a new manager to take control of Arsenal. I’d transfer list all their players and with the funds raised spend all of their transfer budget on my terrible Tottenham early 00s reserves, signing them on the highest wages and longest contract possible (way before Chelsea made this their own model). I also signed the very worst players I could find available on a free transfer on equally as ludicrous contracts. The Arsenal players I couldn’t sell I offered new contracts on similarly as favourable terms. The players I’d signed from Tottenham and those renewed from Arsenal I then released on free transfers paying huge severance fees and crippling Arsenal in long term debt (a glitch in the game meant that if you retired after doing this then every contract was terminated, whereas if you stayed on as manager some players refused to termination). Arsenal were then left with a squad of absolute dross of no resale value on ridiculous contracts and a shed load of debt, leaving me to watch them spiral into the lower echelons of the footballing pyramid whilst I saved and replayed games to lead Tottenham to all conquering glory. Needless to say I had a lot of time on my hands.

I used to do exactly this or use the editor to screw them over by swapping their players with dross and destroying their finances.

Love it! I used to do similar back in those days, another favourite was to use the FM editor to make all Wengers stats 1 and put him on a stupidly high wage. He was unsackable, lost the dressing room, lost games all the time and was gradually crippling them financially as he collected his several million pound weekly wage.

Combined with assigning broken legs galore to their entire squad they’d have to play all of their matches with computer generated youth players. Oh and I also added Arsenal to all their players as their most disliked club and Wenger as their most disliked staff member so none of them wanted to play for them and they were constantly asking to leave for bigger clubs.

I salute your commitment to the cause!

Just got sent a link by a Liverpool fan I know and it turns out the premier league independent panel have ruled that Jota’s second yellow shouldn’t have been given. They voted 3-2 against the yellow. What the actual fuck?! (This is true btw, just been released - they also ruled that Aston Villa’s 2nd and 3rd goals should’ve been ruled out…. Brighton should probably ask for a replay).

Anyway, he carried on saying that there will probably be more stuff each week coming out about other decisions the officials got wrong in this game for the next 3 years. He finished it with ‘could Spurs be any luckier ffs’

I sent him the Virgil tweet.

Back in the 70-71 season, Alan Hudson scored goal for Chelsea v Ipswich which went outside the post, hit the back stanchion and the ball dropped outside the goal, the ref awarded the goal. Ipswich asked for a replay, everyone was sorry but no replay was forthcoming.

So Klopp thinks this is unprecedented?

My response to that fan would be that there is only one PGMOL rep on that panel of 5 and 2/5 voted that it was correct. So in short, that panel means bugger all and is as informative as Merson and Sherwood arguing with Mike Dean on Soccer Saturday.

Unprecedented for Liverpool…. Massive difference. Anything that goes on outside Merseyside doesn’t count unless it’s a Liverpool away match.

This is quite a topical short story.

When I was an office worker, one of the managers there was a ST holder at Spurs in 70’s and 80’s. He told me he followed Spurs away everywhere and said the only 2 places he got mugged were Liverpool and Luton. Both times a mob of thugs caught up with him (and a couple of his friends) and demanded his trainers. While the Luton supporters only took his trainers, Liverpool supporters took his tracksuit bottoms too. He had to buy some trousers just to watch us play.

This must be a distressing week for him and his memories.

He's despicable agreed. Top 3 for sure. But no one tops Arteta at the moment in that regard.
That's fair but to he honest, I only really want to chin Lego Pep for his childish touchline antics, the rest I find amusing in a slightly baffled way.
Everything Klippety does makes me get the urge to slap the taste out his mouth!


*disclaimer - I'm not condoning violence or suggesting that I'd ever actually attack either of them, they'd probably both kick the shit out of me! 😂

I'm sure they are. I've seen lots of banter about replays from various teams going around. They're going to get a lot of that over the coming weeks.
Like when Arsenal postponed the game against us. It just follows with everyone else taking the piss and asking for their game to be cancelled because they have a player out.
