‘Liverpool do not deserve the plucky tag – beating Chelsea is nothing particular’

Liverpool didn’t need to be painted as plucky, deprived children in the course of the Carabao Cup closing. Sorry I’m not having it.

Reds followers would in all probability consider themselves as beloved underdogs in opposition to a pub crew filled with asthmatic grandmothers, however seeing them taking part in the ‘Weren’t we courageous?’ card after beating (*checks notes*) a Chelsea crew who haven’t been larger than ninth within the Premier League desk since 2022 was critically grating.

What’s that? Jurgen Klopp performed a few youngsters did he? And Mo Salah’s out for every week or so, you say? Diddums.

Chelsea’s damage disaster has been so extreme for so lengthy followers have forgotten what half their squad seems to be like – and the opposite half aren’t even sufficiently old to lease a automotive.

So spare me the ‘valiant Liverpool’ narrative. Beating Chelsea nowadays is like intercourse with the missus – it ain’t that particular if everybody you understand has been doing it.

Do Liverpool need to be painted as plucky? Let us know what you suppose within the feedback part beneath.

Rio Ferdinand is a joke of a pundit



Rio Ferdinand
Rio Ferdinand’s opinions are barely ever price listening to

That’s it. I’ve had sufficient of Rio Ferdinand. Watching him play soccer was a pleasure, he was a real Rolls-Royce defender, however sitting by a night of him on punditry is totally teeth-grinding.

Between his “Innit”s and “Bruv”s, his jarringly-obvious takes and the actual fact his high lip seems to be just like the McDonald’s brand, Ferdinand is the human embodiment of nails on a chalkboard.

And discuss a bloke incapable of hiding his bias. On his Vibe with FIVE podcast (in case you haven’t seen it, it’s principally Arsenal Fan TV with out the shouting), he stated – with a straight face – that Mikel Arteta would “100%” soar ship to Man Utd in the event that they made him a proposal.

I imply actually, that’s about as blinkered as a malfunctioning strobe mild. Ferdinand will get paid precise cash for these types of moronic insights, which is as nonsensical as paying a mime to do match commentary.

Gary Neville’s hypocrisy is aware of no bounds



Gary Neville
Gary Neville’s “Billion-pound bottle jobs” line was a bit a lot coming from a Man Utd man

Gary Neville produced one heck of a soundbite when he labelled Chelsea “billion-pound bottle jobs” on Sunday, nevertheless it was a little bit wealthy coming from a Man Utd man.

In case you hadn’t observed, Gaz. Your previous crew have misplaced 4 of their earlier 5 finals, and are the one membership on the planet with a internet spend larger than £1billion previously decade. And what they’ve received in that point? Two home cups? Pah!

It’s no shock – Neville’s a Grade-A hypocrite. Whether he’s shamelessly pocketing Qatari cash after months of virtue-signalling lectures or paying his lodge workers a pittance regardless of his tedious champagne socialist shtick, G-Nev has confirmed to be about as constant as a moist sausage roll.

Do Chelsea deserve criticism? Of course they do. But a United fan trolling a crew for spending large and going nowhere is as bonkers as Duncan Ferguson complaining about aggression within the office.
