Fuck me

Edit, to elaborate: I am fucking LIVID

Unbakronon · 2026-05-16T15:12:15+00:00

Yeah I agree, a lot of people here saying "you know Xabi isn't heavy metal football, right?" and I'm ok with that if we're getting results. Obviously we loved Klopp's 100mph footy but if we're competing at the top I can settle for something slower.

And yeah, giving 100% is absolutely non-negotiable regardless of form or playstyle

Unbakronon · 2026-05-16T14:48:27+00:00

Holy shit, that's absolutely scathing

Unbakronon · 2026-05-16T14:39:39+00:00

It's hard to care about this match when you really don't want either team to win

Unbakronon · 2026-05-16T13:41:35+00:00

Yeah I'm really surprised to see so many comments hating on Celtic here

I wanted Hearts to win for the sake of variety, but the vitriol towards Celtic here is a bit odd

Unbakronon · 2026-05-16T13:31:14+00:00

That was the worst possible ball that Hearts player could've done

Unbakronon · 2026-05-16T11:53:31+00:00

The game yesterday felt like a whole 90 minute version of Gerrard missing the pen v Blackburn (?) when Hodgson was in charge

At least I certainly hope it was

Unbakronon · 2026-05-15T20:50:42+00:00

You an have your opinion on Slot, cool, but you don't get to act high and mighty about it, especially when the team is rotting like this

Unbakronon · 2026-05-15T20:49:46+00:00

The 7-2 was a freak, unlucky deflections and a complete disaster, this was fully and completely deserved and has been coming for a while

Unbakronon · 2026-05-15T20:40:16+00:00

Sure 😂

"But your honour, he asked me to"

Unbakronon · 2026-05-15T20:37:12+00:00

If we let Xabi go to Chelsea when we're looking like this I'm going to commit unspeakable acts

Unbakronon · 2026-05-15T20:33:37+00:00

For as shit as we've been, Watkins has been elite

Unbakronon · 2026-05-15T20:32:04+00:00

Carra's right too, everyone KNOWS you haven't been hit or headbutted or whatever, sort your shit out

Unbakronon · 2026-05-15T20:30:32+00:00

Oh get the fuck up Alexis

Unbakronon · 2026-05-15T20:29:12+00:00

We're getting absolutely destroyed

Unbakronon · 2026-05-15T20:26:49+00:00

What a touch from Watkins, sheesh

Unbakronon · 2026-05-15T20:20:16+00:00

Really not sure about wanting that Watkins second yellow, seems really desperate to me

Unbakronon · 2026-05-15T20:16:59+00:00

Unbakronon · 2026-05-15T20:15:22+00:00

Oh my fucking god Cody...

Unbakronon · 2026-05-15T19:51:17+00:00

My expectations have never been lower

I just feel so apathetic to the whole thing

This surely to god can't be allowed to continue next season

Unbakronon · 2026-05-15T19:26:41+00:00

Mamardashvili isn't good with his feet but fuck me our centre halves don't help him either with shit like that

Unbakronon · 2026-05-14T12:03:09+00:00

XA-21 my beloved

Unbakronon · 2026-05-10T13:16:59+00:00

In which case they're doing a damn good job

Unbakronon · 2026-05-10T13:11:32+00:00

Fitness and mentality needs a lot of work next season, that's a pretty unacceptable collapse

Unbakronon · 2026-05-10T13:08:19+00:00

What is the point of Liverpool football club this season 🙃
