@LFC_Bitcoin I like this,,, El Shitico! I want to wish you luck but we need it,,, to not lose big,,,

Still baffles me how Totteham looked like a league contender in the first 10 games of the season to struggling at the relegation border after 29 games needs to be studied in the university.

Maybe Thomas Frank could have turned the season around who knows- abandoning Brentford wasn't a smart choice I guess.

Well, what are your chances against this mentality dead Liverpool side this weekend? That is a must win game.

I think all the fans are in the same mind of thought,,, how did this happen? It all started a long time ago with Levy as I said but the new owner is even shittier,,, now we are not making bad decisions for ourselves we are making good decisions for all our rivals.

A draw would be considered great against Liverpool and we always show up on big games but,,, the reality is we will have to accept a defeat and fight to get the wins with teams around us.

I made my Superbru picks to reflect reality

It is not that I really like to do this, but you said the Spurs are worse than LFC, aren't the Wolves worse than LFC? Admittedly the match was played in Wolverhampton, but still beyond me how Liverpool lost it. Those points will be immensely missed at the end of the season.

Wolves are playing without pressure; it's 90% relegation for them, they're are only here for the spoil and playing without looking over their shoulders. More.like going into games with full attacking, not minding if you lose or not- You can't kill a "dead" man

I read some part of your Manager's Press and he complained about losing too many players to injury and some to suspension and that he hasn't seen anything like this in his career.  he's like most of you; he's also frustrated at the level of quality and players available for Liverpool game.

Sounds like someone who has already given up on the game.

He must be new to football. Lots of teams have faced crazy injuries I remember Barca at many points had to play almost full team from academy because of injuries,,, sometimes you find quality when you play people but putting Kinsky on an unfamiliar pitch in front of Atletico is not how you discover talent  

Liverpool at one point had the smallest squad of seniors and still always did well, I guess he just didn't realize how 'small' our senior squad is, but he only needed to look at transfermark to see that before he signed, what an idiot

Is this Chelsea's new ritual? Surrounding the referee before the match starts. Become the laughing stock of the commentators.

Probably takes away the referee's focus.
---------------------------------
I'm still watching Chelsea games... don't know if they'll win or draw, losing is actually bad for them.

[un_rank]

That was such a morale boosting win for the boys. Everton made it tough and maybe they did enough to get a draw here but the boys stuck to their tasks and it was actually a good defensive display, back to back clean sheets in the league will do us a lot of good.

Remember the name Max Dowman. He is a big prospect for the not so distant future. He has a lot of maturity and calmness to go with his footballing skills. I am sure the kid will hardly be able to sleep tonight. 7 more games to go.

What's the sacking News I'm hearing? Is that legit?

Lol Trofo posted the list of your unavailable players and damn it, no one is surviving that; almost 70% of the first team are out and your academy is wack.

The clown ref wasn't supposed to be there; we've been doing that ritual for sometime without ref interference

It better be legit,,, but we better not do a dumb replacement!

I was just talking in another thread to @goodpunt about our available players,,, I am a Spurs fan but I hardly recognize some names, and goodpunt still believes we can win

Why is she so comfortable in the midst of the players, she didn't even move when the Chelsea ritual was performed and I saw the akward face she gave lol.

But it seems like this ritual also didn't work for Chelsea where this was another unpleasant match for Chelsea fans. They controlled the match but they also lost momentum as they wasted so many chances.
This scheme of relying on speed and individual dribbling was too risky and actually made the Newcastle players always manage to intercept because we could see when Garnacho or Palmer tried to dribble the ball they were clearly not free with several guards at once.

Liverpool lost 3 points today at a crucial time due to a defensive error when trying to clear a Muani and that's a bit annoying.

Unfortunately, it was a fake news. He took off a point from Liverpool today that should count for something right? Don't worry your neighbors at the bottom also lost points so you're safe at the moment..

Arne Slot is running a Ponzi schemes on Liverpool fans; He's going to shut them off with a fantastic CL result this week, and everyone will forget about how bad he's been. Rinse and repeat.

This team is inconsistent... not much different from Liverpool, sometimes winning sometimes losing, it's very annoying what we bet on the favorite team to lose.

Arne Slogan is indeed a clown... other teams have bombarded Tottenham with many goals, this is Liverpool to win alone is still difficult, indeed Slot must be disposed of immediately, I myself am not sure at home in the UCL.

I love my team last night lol,,, and guess what the same guys I mentioned made it possible, they put on Archie Gray and Richarlison took care of the rest.

This was the best outcome for us and I would remind Liverpool they scored because Vicario could not save a normal freekick. But now moving on, a few more points and we can do!

They lose after doing it so for sure they are not gonna do it again, they are gonna start to think is a curse.

I cant get what the Aston Villa team is doing, i mean they made a crazy run to overcome the bad start they have and now it seems like they are again playing like shit and cant recover.

All the teams on this season despite Arsenal are doing this kind of runs, in some place they start to fall.

[BABY SHOES]

In the Abramovich era now Chelsea is affected again?

Now Chelsea is hit by a storm that hit... in the UCL and PL lost now new problems come, with Chelsea fined £10.7m for violating Premier League regulations and two other charges... losses come first team transfers are suspended for 2 seasons, so Chelsea will play with what players are there now?

Aww can't imagine how fans are hearing this, Chelsea might be down again.

Even though if Liverpool can maintain 3 points in this match it is certain that in this week they will be directly in position 4 but it looks like they still have to continue to wait and make the competition quite interesting because Liverpool, Chelsea and Aston Villa can fight for it depending on how they perform in the remaining matches they will do.

Manchester United were previously in this position but with a win on matchday 30 makes them a little more comfortable with a 3 point gap now. In addition, it seems that their current position will not be easily taken back because of the enthusiasm and increase in performance they feel now.
8 games left (7 for Arsenal) but 9 points at the moment is not easy for Manchester City with their form. Do we have to congratulate Arsenal or is it still too hasty?

It came with a two years "suspended" transfer ban- meaning we can still make transfers as long as they play by the rules in the next two years or risk facing a long term transfer ban.

Given that Manchester City has been in court for nearly the same offenses for three years without receiving a verdict, some of you might be asking why our verdict was rendered so quickly. Well, we entered a guilty plea and received a light punishment for our good behavior. City pleaded not guilty still...

It seems the City will never face any punishment. A lenient punishment would be a disgrace, but a severe one would be a blow the business could not withstand. Therefore, we will see another couple of years of decisions/appeals/delays/reviews of violations, etc., and then the case will be closed either due to the expiration of the deadline or because formal errors are found on the part of the accusing party (an exact copy of the UEFA v. City case, where City got away with it while being guilty).

Crime always pays,,, especially if you say sorry after knowingly doing the crime

I think the amount of the fine Chelsea paid was so easy to laugh at by their owners,,, it should be the same for Manchester City but I think if they plead guilty,,, they still have to give away penalty points and possibly titles, which is why they are fighting it for sure.

And on the other side FA is also aware that punishing them properly would kill their money.

So,,, FA is gonna be UEFA and give them a small fine too, remember when Mourinho laughed at the last time they got fined? This is a big joke and FA will choose the disgraceful path.

They are never gonna face some real penalty , the main thing resume on the business is gonna be super hard damaging if they sanction the teams who bring the more viewers and spend the most biggest ammount of money. Is sad but that is how the world works.

Is like the famous quote, "If you owe the bank $100, that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem." From J. Paul Getty.

Well here we have the same problem.

It was already a very light sentence even with the transfer ban, but to have it suspended which basically means there would be no transfer ban at all, it really makes the verdict look very biased. Teams in recent years have been hit with points deductions and fines instantly for less offences than what you guys did.

I get the part of Chelsea self reporting the incident, but that does not take away the fact that the team cheated and benefited from it for several years and are still benefiting from it now from a financial stand point.

The FA do not seem bold enough to give point deductions to 'bigger' teams in the league, I don't think City gets any either at the end of all of this. Just a slap on the wrist and some suspended bans.

Wonder why Chelsea self reported if they were possibly going to get away with it any way.

I’m more annoyed about Man City, they stopped us winning multiple titles with their financial doping. Chelsea were a big club before Abramovich any way so it doesn’t feel as bad. Man City were nothing before the money.
