Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

Stay classy Liverpool

The Football Association sings about having the only fully professional league in Europe, but Liverpool, a founding WSL side, have only 10 employees listed in their accounts for 2019. Five “players, managers and coaches” and five “administration, commercial and other”.

Why? Because according to their own accounts, “full-time employees are those employed for more than 20 hours per week. The 19 members of the playing squad are semi-professional and as such are classed as part-time staff.”

In the season before a record-breaking financial year for the club (as a whole) was announced, with it posting a turnover of £533m and pre-tax profits of £42m, Liverpool could not, or would not, afford the players in its women team contracts that would amount to more than a 20-hour week.

If ever there was an example of just how hollow the anthem You’ll Never Walk Alone is, this is it. Perhaps alongside the decision to furlough 200 staff, before being embarrassed into a u-turn.

In the weeks leading up to the FA decision to relegate Vicky Jepson’s side, the player exodus began.

I’m low key kind of shocked he doesn’t watch all white p0rn

Spoiler: NSFW

That's a bit unfair on John. Someone sent me a non-porn image in WhatsApp the other day, along with 4 porn images (containing some hugly, hugly women), with no comment. I am not sure if it was accidental or not. I didn't say anything and I didn't delete them immediately.

On another occasion a business associate (creh) sent me some "we whites are losing the country" type images and it was clearly by mistake. Again I didn't say anything to him and I didn't delete them immediately.

In short its possible that someone sent them to him and he just didn't bother to delete them straight away.

He's 56, doesn't know how to crop images and wears glasses. I'm guessing someone like that is not going to be saving and watching porn images on his relatively unintuitive and relatively small phone. It's a more youthful demographic that uses their phone like a computer.

Scalke didn't lose today, so baby steps I guess.

Tied our club record for winless streak with 12 today and we play Leverkusen next week. We won't win the rest of the season

Lowkey John Barnes was their beat player of all times as far as talent and skills before the modern era. Just never got the respect he deserved.

Watching the way Balotellis career is ending is .... it can’t be just racism and every team he’s played hasn’t got anything good to say about him professionally except Mancini.....

I used to think he was destined for big tings back in the day

Almost everybody did at the beginning of his career.

But he never grew up and you can only be unprofessional and immature as long as your producing at a high level. You can’t be slightly above average and behave like your Ronaldinho or Romario. No team is going to put up with that.

Man had Balon D'Or talent, but due to life trauma and maybe not the best support system he never developed the work ethic and focus to build on his talents.

Comment from reddit, pretty much what we've been saying.

Already said this, but you have to look at a Bayern season like a Hulk Hogan match. Half way through they're selling, but at the end of the match, you just know there's no way they're doing the job, brother.

Which must mean Dortmund is randy savage and Leipzig is Ted dibiase.
