@PhilBrownFTFC @BladeoftheS I agree with this. I won’t lie about 70s public services to make a political point
But I also think private capital ownership hasn’t fixed performance & has definitely increased real terms cost
Both things can be possible. Maybe the funding model isnt always the only variable?
English

@BladeoftheS I would never defend Thatcher and I don’t know how old you are, but I can assure you that Water, Energy, Rail and Mail were absolutely NOT the best run services in the world pre-1979. They were crippled by unions and lengthy employment disputes. The 70s were a hideous decade.
English

@spudgun01 @grlfc58 @BladeoftheS That didn’t work though
More public money spent on water AND higher bills now
The privatisation of water hasn’t brought progress that was anticipated by Mrs Thatcher’s government
I won’t pretend public services were great in the 70s but privatisation added cost & not delivered
English

@grlfc58 @BladeoftheS Wrong. They were privatised so that the Government didnt have to continue financing something they didnt want to be responsible for. Period. In fact, the normal man on the street could invest and buy shares, which many did and made money.

@S4LAHHH @LFCKenn @SeanDOlfc Yep
I recognise it will sound like sour grapes &, tbh, if we’d have won our first title since 1990 playing that way I probably would’ve thought what Arsenal fans will.
But I’ve seen Klopp’s high tempo, high risk, high reward football & I can’t unsee it 🤷♂️
English

@BrownGed @LFCKenn @SeanDOlfc Definitely i don’t see anyone topping the Pep/Klopp era for a long time. If arsenal win i’ll give them their dues it’s just shite to watch as you said. Zero superstars in that team aswell.
Last year Salah was player of the season, this year it’s Arsenal’s set piece coach
English

@S4LAHHH @LFCKenn @SeanDOlfc Totally agree - we’re painful to watch and ineffective. In truth we’ve had it great for most of the last 10 years with exciting, aesthetic and effective football.
Arsenal are equally painful & turgid to watch, but they do manage to win a lot of games.
English

@BrownGed @LFCKenn @SeanDOlfc Definitely way less effective. But other than those 20 min rio cameos there’s not much to look forward to anymore. We had it great last season
English

@LFCKenn @SeanDOlfc We play worse football than them

Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.

@Harry199504 @will_jeanes He’s scored 16 in 18 against Utd.
If you think he’s stat padding against shit teams that’s a massive self own….
English

@will_jeanes Statpadding against Norwich and Burnley won’t move me. I want to see him drag his team to titles like van Persie or Ronaldo or Rooney
English

@Gazwarrington There’s too much weight given to the on field
decision on the altar of “not re-refereeing games”
That’s more of a pen than the one given against us on Nunes as there was contact on both but a chance Haaland gets to the ball.
English

It’s one of those ones.
If the referee gives it then it’s not overturned, but VAR won’t give it once the referee doesn’t. Depends what mood the ref is in.
Ref didn’t want to make decisions all night, and VAR won’t intervene if not a massive mistake - which they prob weren’t

@footballoracle5 @bbarrymurphy @Cantona_Collars @TheForgetfulDM Not even the flop of season at Liverpool mate.
Played increasingly well since beginning of December & was overhyped how bad he was before.
English

@BrownGed @bbarrymurphy @Cantona_Collars @TheForgetfulDM He had a few decent games against Burnley, Barnsley and Newcastle. He’s been absolutely terrible in any big game in the league. Flop of the season.
English

@footballoracle5 @bbarrymurphy @Cantona_Collars @TheForgetfulDM He was shortlisted in Jan; I thought he’d won it for some reason - my mistake 👍
Either way he had a very good month & the excessive negative press stopped.
English

@BrownGed @bbarrymurphy @Cantona_Collars @TheForgetfulDM Player of the month? When did Wirtz get that?
English

@bbarrymurphy @Cantona_Collars @TheForgetfulDM Wirtz was slaughtered all the 1st 1/2 of the season mate. Then he picked up his form, got player of the month, it goes away
We don’t hear what’s said about other clubs’ players as loudly, but he’s come in for a lot of criticism
Like Sesko he’s young, in a new league, needs time
English

@BrownGed @Cantona_Collars @TheForgetfulDM Yeah but what I’m saying is that if Sesko wasn’t scoring Sky & BT would be all over his stats, & would compare him to anyone just to put the boot into a #MUFC player
English

@bbarrymurphy @Cantona_Collars @TheForgetfulDM Both played similar numbers of games. Sesko scored a couple more. Wirtz has 5 more assists
As you’d expect for 2 very different players with different roles
Neither has been exceptional, both increasingly look like they’ll be good players
Isak is the one you should talk about
English

@Cantona_Collars @TheForgetfulDM I’d love to see his ratio alongside Wirtz for minutes to goals because I’m sure if it was the other way around Sky & BT would be shouting it from the rooftops

@A_GymGuy @vecchio_uomo Rice is closer to Jay Spearing than he is to Steven Gerrard.
Not joking.
English

To compare rice to him is like comparing beans on toast to steak filet mignon
Reverry@EfranAlexander
Yo, wrap this shit up. I realize Gerrard is THE benchmark for everyone to compare their guy to bcuz he was THAT guy, but Rice is not in the same stratosphere as Gerrard. There are many things Rice comes up short in, but the simplest one is your guy simply can’t move like this.

@MLeahy50 @PhilPhenom If you turn down everyone in pro football on the basis they see Real Madrid as bigger than Liverpool you’ll have a shortlist of Steven Gerrard.
