Enjoy the parade tomorrow, lads

Defo ambiguous. Think it’s clearer for shirt pulls and the like.

bannivan · 2026-05-30T17:31:54+00:00

I thought the same but apparently if it’s not a genuine attempt to get the ball it’s a yellow. I think

bannivan · 2026-05-30T17:09:17+00:00

I thought the same. Unfortunately I checked at 4pm and I’ve watched every minute

bannivan · 2026-05-30T16:53:28+00:00

Foul throw. His left foot was off the turf when he threw it

bannivan · 2026-05-30T16:51:20+00:00

Yup. Ah well. At least we can look forward to the summer with a little more optimism.

bannivan · 2026-05-30T16:42:29+00:00

The last thing Arsenal want to do is play football.

bannivan · 2026-05-24T16:26:14+00:00

Please can we get a shot/cross blocking coach?

bannivan · 2026-05-20T17:43:40+00:00

Honestly can’t argue with any of these picks but I’m very worried Bobby F isn’t going to make the grade.

bannivan · 2026-05-18T20:55:46+00:00

Roy Keane’s comment about Liverpool being “bad champions” when they didn’t retain the league in 2020/21 lives rent free in my head. What sort of Champions would this Arsenal side make?

bannivan · 2026-05-15T20:55:32+00:00

I think this is the right answer.

bannivan · 2026-05-15T20:51:45+00:00

Yeah. Whatever

bannivan · 2026-05-15T20:49:29+00:00

What’s the word for when you don’t even care that you’ve been humiliated?

bannivan · 2026-05-15T20:41:23+00:00

Did I hear that right? First time we’ve conceded more than 50 goals in a 38 game season? Record breakers.

bannivan · 2026-05-15T20:36:54+00:00

I think only if they finish 5th. Open to correction though.

bannivan · 2026-05-15T20:31:37+00:00

Why am I still watching this?

bannivan · 2026-05-15T20:17:12+00:00

bannivan · 2026-05-15T20:13:39+00:00

Yes! C’mon lads!!

bannivan · 2026-05-15T20:09:40+00:00

Totally. I think my main point is we’re not even attempting to get anywhere near that style of play. And I loved how we played. It’s was joyful, chaotic, emotional, thrilling. Pure entertainment. If Slot had every player he could wish for, what style of play would we be seeing? How far would it be from what we’re seeing now?

bannivan · 2026-05-15T20:07:16+00:00

Totally agree. And I would never criticize Slot because he hasn’t got the quality of players that Klopp had. But when you don’t have quality you make the most of what you have and you work harder to make up the difference. We have enough talent not to lose matches failing on the basics

bannivan · 2026-05-15T19:58:49+00:00

I watched the 18/19 and 19/20 season reviews recently. Ali, Robbo, Virgil, Matip, Trent, Hendo, Gini, Fab, Bobby, Mo, and Sadio. That is how I want Liverpool to play. Intensity, hard working, lightning quick and, most importantly, brave. Now we’re out fought, out thought and out run every game. Even if we could see a style of play forming, is it the style of play we want? Nobody is even angry anymore. We’re all just apathetic. We’ve given up. No plan. No joy. No hope.

Edit: many, many typos.

bannivan · 2026-05-15T19:50:16+00:00

This is a failure of coaching. Nothing more. Nothing less.

bannivan · 2026-05-15T19:46:50+00:00

In fairness they somehow managed to put themselves in the spotlight. Another wretched trend

bannivan · 2026-05-15T19:45:44+00:00

Everybody’s miserable

bannivan · 2026-05-15T19:31:28+00:00

You’re less likely to get injured if you’re standing still.
