Liverpool have not looked good this pre-season

In a way, these feel like the modern day crusades of the West as they seek to purge the the old holy lands and reshape them in their image. Religion. It inevitably comes back to it.

Adds to the atmosphere to be fair

It was never in any doubt. I literally couldn’t give a shit anymore while the current hierarchy stewards the club. What is most worrying is that there is zero motivation from any of the players.

Watched the highlights (Ha!) ... never before has so little effort been put in by a team. Accrington let themselves down there with only 2 goals, that Marseille performance was pathetic.

I've long accepted the apathy of being a Marseille supporter. So I plan to continue to scowl

We absolutely have to sell. Preferably Strootman and Payet given their absurd wages. But Thauvin is the most sellable asset. However, he's prone to home sickness and he's going to be expensive - especially now he's broken into the France squad finally. It's a gamble If you are going to buy him, play him on the right or centrally, that's where he does the most damage cutting in on his left. It's his pace that makes him look more than a one trick pony in Ligue 1, but in England the level of defending will be up a notch. Honestly think he's better off sitting tight, it's a comfortable level for him

Women’s World Cup? Yeah. Wasn’t surprised. Korea were shite.

It’s official. Defensively I have no faith he’s an improvement. Offensively, it should be at least entertaining

London internet lag

Just saw Pogba in person. Tracksuit wearing twat

Called it.

I disagree mate. Dany's arc is fucking bonkers.

I believe it was budget

I honestly don't think they give a fuck. At this moment in time Deus Ex Machina is in full effect

The end to this show is turning into a travesty

It’s really poor. It all feels a bit rushed and lazy as they push across the line. Accidents occur and mistakes are made, but this is basics. When going in for a shot, all personal effects and drinks offset

Nicely done mate. Although I was fucking awful

How the fuck did they not spot a Starbucks cup

It was annoying seeing it so close, so I booted us across the line

I actually hope they do what Terry Nation did with the series Blake 7. Most of you are too young to remember Blake 7, it was an iconic but cheaply made BBC sci-fi series. What distinguished it from other serials was that at in the finale to entire run, all the main characters are slain. It would have cheapened the story to do anything otherwise, which feels similar here.
