Just a observation that might not have any logical support.
Isak's 'record'transfer to a club that is proud to reflect the compassionate, welcoming and unique culture of the city.
Liverpool now appears to be one the world's wealthiest top clubs in the player market. I am aware that Premier transfers are big business, but do you not find that this jars a bit identifying with the local economy which is struggling: housing, health, employment, etc. Would the Boys from the Blackstuff be proud. Maybe they would?

How do other clubs compete with this money? The economy doesn't reflect the money being spent, but then you have the players wages on top! It beggars belief that most players are over £50k a week, when most supporters don't get that a year!

Yes lads, it stinks yet we still keep coming back for more.
My first match was 1968 and I fell in love with it.
I'm not sure if I was a young lad right now that I would fall in love with it all over again.
3.) 01 Sep 2025 15:08:08
I hear you Gazzi.
Keef, one thing about competing on the money front. let's say we only need a couple of players next window now we've got a much stronger squad, but we have £150M to spend. Well then we can spend that on a £60M and £90M player and just sell a couple of weaker squad members.
When you spend well and are established, the hope is that you don't need to sign 8/ 9 players every window.

23 Apr 2025 16:11:08
As I said 24hrs ago. The BBC Web had the City game blasted out this morning as headline! Compare that to the minimal coverage of the Forest victory. Snooker not priority now, eh?
If there were I love Pep Tshirts, BBC canteen is the place!
1.) 23 Apr 2025 16:39:12
When we beat em Sunday it will be peps failure not a Nuno masterclass ?.
2.) 23 Apr 2025 20:55:18
I've never been a defeatist Piran - quite the opposite in my daily life! However, I'd be amazed if we get a result on Sunday. Obviously, it's great news for us that they may be missing 4-5 key players on the day. I think a win is do-able, but highly unlikely. Anything can happen in a Cup game though I suppose.
I hope that I'll be eating humble-pie after the game!
3.) 23 Apr 2025 21:26:30
All that matters is the lads give 110 percent Sunday and hope that's enough to get us through if not we would of lost to the better team simples.
4.) 23 Apr 2025 21:27:21
Piran - as an ex-Cornish bumpkin, just supposing that we beat City on Sunday what would be your favourite pasty and pint to celebrate with? Mine would be a pint of draught Doom Bar and a Malcolm Barnecutt pasty. Or maybe a pasty from Philp's?
I really hope that Ed33 isn't on duty tonight.
5.) 23 Apr 2025 21:52:54
Well said Skegs.
6.) 23 Apr 2025 21:53:53
A crisp pint of Rattler followed by a large Marys ?.
7.) 23 Apr 2025 21:56:44
Although Sunday I'll be mixing it with the riff raff at BOXPARK probably drinking weak as p**s carling because they won't serve anything stronger, then heading up to hospitality and will go on Captain Morgans spiced n coke (wont be running for a leak every 10mins)
8.) 23 Apr 2025 22:16:12
The lads always give 100 % skeggs
Do you think they'll turn up any different?
9.) 24 Apr 2025 13:19:56
I couldn't remember 1 of them turning up for the Everton game but that's just my opinion ?.
10.) 24 Apr 2025 14:35:59
Just accept moyes and Everton did a job on us, nothing to do with our players not turning up which is a rather stupid statement.
11.) 24 Apr 2025 14:47:10
Like I said that was my opinion. and stupid statements coming from someone like you that does it all the time ???.
12.) 24 Apr 2025 15:35:48
You two are like a married couple ?.
11 Apr 2025 22:21:12
Used to love the European/ Champions League when it was on ITV. The music, wow, all great. Now just short highlights on BBC. Will want to be excited if we make it, but it is minority viewing. Am I right?
1.) 11 Apr 2025 22:28:18
Get a firestick.
2.) 11 Apr 2025 23:07:15
Primes not bad value but only get selected Tuesday night games, add discovery plus to it for £35 a month. ?.
3.) 11 Apr 2025 23:18:17
Yep that's intelligence for you
No wonder I can afford to go to Wembley with a blow up doll wrapped in my bedsheets ???.
4.) 11 Apr 2025 23:24:17
Winter get yourself out and about a bit more and meet some friends
You'd be at least £35 a month better off ?????.
5.) 11 Apr 2025 23:26:24
So all in around 45 quid a month.
And prime coverage is probably the best, none of those bbc wollies. ?.
6.) 11 Apr 2025 23:33:10
Out of interest edd
Do you have to pay much or nothing over there?
{Ed001's Note - for the football? You just need an app called Tod here, which is BeIn Sports. Costs about £30 a month for all the footie.}
7.) 12 Apr 2025 01:00:38
As per DTP response above
Get a fire ? no brainer.
8.) 12 Apr 2025 07:52:40
Here here DTP. Firestick all the way, Norfolk. One off payment per year for all the sport and films you could possibly want. No extra subscription fees for all the platforms needed, either.
Out of curiosity ed where do you live?

Stewart John, Gerald Sinstadt.
Brilliant theme tune as you say mate.
10.) 12 Apr 2025 10:55:12
Thanks for the replies folks. I'll probably be holding my tablet and following BBCtext of the matches, come Septemeber Tuesdays- while having to watch some sort of Dog training programme on the TV.
What is the thinking about media comments on the Prem being boring and we want the season to finish, as its apparently rubbish, etc: (Neville, with Sutton countering. ) If it finished today, I'd buy it!
11.) 12 Apr 2025 11:40:26
Norfolk prem boring was coming from Manu, Manc and possibly spurs loyal pundits, if i was watching any of them I'd definitely be bored?.
As for what i think, yes titles done, yes relegation is done, but the middle of the prem is the most competitive its been in years, teams like us, Bournemouth, Fulham and Palace ripping it up and playing a different style from the usual tippy tappy crap. I know i have a dog in the fight so to say but i'm loving it, anyone can beat anyone on any given day, long may it continue ??.
17 Mar 2025 11:58:14
Watched MOTD2 from the Spurs/ Fulham match. There were two portly gents punditing, (I think). One of them, an ex Man Utd player agreed with the ref about a possible penalty call.
Said - not enough contact, etc. Strange: Can remember vividly the pundidt falling over in the box at Old Trafford like a wounded hero at the slightest contact to earn a spot kick during the Fergie chewing times! Blimey! More Pots and Kettles than Dunelm!
23 Aug 2025 10:46:24
Please no! The biggest self publicist of them all! The media will have to camp outside the ground so they can luxuriate on every uttering from the 'great man'. Still it might take the pressure off the team and fans who might be forgotten and Jose will probably forget to manage the team with all the media attention!
If Nuno goes, please someone understated and calm who focuses on the team and results.
Sort it out over a nice paella - fellas!
16 Oct 2025 11:49:56
Better to be Red Leicester fans have discovered!
Actually, I'm ashamed of that.
15 Oct 2025 15:13:46
Just thinking how many of us the site are a significant distance away. Does anyone live in W Bridgford? Same issue for me on Saturday: Motd highlights and wait for 'you tube' coverage. Sky has certainly lost its shine from years back-in Cricket as well. Ashes coming up? So I'll be following the text on my phone at that silly hour to play football! Backing Hutchinson to score!
14 Oct 2025 14:58:23
Ange might be the sort of coach to pull off a surprise win! However are Forest the sort of team to pull off a surprise win as things stand?
We'll know in the first five minutes of the match! I'm still going for Hutchinson.
13 Oct 2025 11:34:03
Time to think about beating Chelsea comfortably on Saturday breakfast! Can't think about another loss because we know what the vibe would be! Take a risk on Hutchinson-stick him in against his old club. Sometimes happens. doesn't it?
PS Had we beaten Chelsea last time we would have been in the Champions league! Phew! Picture it now folks!
11 Oct 2025 16:46:11
Might be too early, but maybe take a glance at the table and have look who might finish below us come May. The promoted trio have had a good start and other likely candidates seem stronger than last year so you're right to be worried. I think we all need a good Christmas!
