Well a lot of Liverpool posters on here tend to be shite so a cull of you lot is always healthy.A good start and 90% of you will be calling for a cull.

Fair post but the Alexis stuff is poor.Not trying to be a WUM here, but my 2 cents worth on the United/City who is a bigger club debate.
Obviously Utd is bigger than City, no doubt about that. No club will ever overtake its rivals in the space of a few years, even Chelsea for a while won everything yet now with Abramovic holding back the funding, they are below Liverpool in the pecking order I believe. But anyway, consider this:
City have a young squad playing some attractive winning football under the best manager in the game right now. They are on an upwards trajectory and may yet create more special memories if they for example have a spectacular CL success. Chelsea had CL success but it was a rather dull final that no one remembers now, I'm talking about some 99/05 level spectacular. That should definitely leave a mark on the younger generations getting into football these days.
The Alexis transfer. Usually you have a big club offering the chance to play attacking football and win, vs a smaller club offering more money. If I were moving to Juve for say 100k a week, a team like Lazio would have to offer me at least 50% for me to consider joining them and missing out on the Juve trophy train. Again keep in mind that by Xmas that City had the title wrapped up, so Alexis definitely traded trophies for money. IIRC he chose United because you guys offered him and his agent silly wages and fees, even sillier than what City were offering. It took ridiculous money to sway him to Utd's side (which is why IMO he is a terrible signing for you, pure mercenary after a big pay day, has shown no discernible passion for the shirt in the games I've seen him play for Utd).
Bigger club? Utd without a doubt. Current momentum/form/in vogue team? City. City may well fade away when their owners start getting bored/broke like Abramovich in recent times (compared to his crazy spending 2003-2006), but it looks like they are trying to put a more stable long term philosophy by hiring Txiki and working on the Academy (we will see if it works or not, but they sure spent a lot of money on it). Who knows where they will be in 10-20 years? I personally hope they crash and burn, competition was tough enough for us anyway when it was just Arsenal and Utd winning the league and we were the big 3. Big 5/6 means less chance for us to win the league.
Not going into the debate about biggest clubs.. Every man and his dog knows, that Manchester United is the biggest club in England and Liverpool is the next in line. A few years of succes for Manchester City won't change that in any foreseeable future.That's Liverpool fans for you mate. Can't talk any sense to them.
You know there's porn on the internet, right?

I quoted you, because of the generalization in your post. It happens all the time in here, and I find it so annoying. You could have inserted 'some' in your post, but you chose to include ALL Liverpool fans.
I am all for the banter, and Liverpool fans in here must accept, that we get more stick than others. That's ok, just the way it is. But you're implying that I, and everybody else who supports Liverpool are the same. That we share the same mindset and personality. That I, and all Liverpool fans, are so thick, that none of us understands common sense.
Attack the post, if you think it's stupid, but why the need to include the whole fanbase?
Just skimmed through it after reading the ridiculous headline as luck isn't something you can measure, then I skimmed through some of their statistics about incorrect calls, again, can't imagine how they determined which call is incorrect and which is not as that can be heavily opinion based and I'll trust a ref 9 out of 10 times over a bunch of random journalists. Can't imagine this is going to annoy anyone.https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45087444
Thoughts? Can imagine this is going to annoy quite a few United fans, but I’m just the messenger.
*Shrug* Doesn't really mean anything. Could've had all the luck in the world last season & City would've still won the league.https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45087444

That's odd as I don't even really remember last season or even that many matches feeling unlucky or frustrating. It was pretty enjoyable on the whole to be honest, as opposed to that season where we seemed to hit the woodwork about 4 times a game.https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45087444

Thought Van Dijk’s foul on Lamela was a pretty blatant penalty personality.spurs and the giftings to Prince Harry.
I was arguing with a Pool fan when it happened and they were convinced that Lamela was play acting. Turns out getting pelted in the back of the leg can leave a sting.Thought Van Dijk’s foul on Lamela was a pretty blatant penalty personality.
It's almost as if they had not lost loads of players at the world cup, and also signed 2 players that weren't at the world cup.I'm worried Liverpool might win the PL or the UCL this season (maybe both). It's like they didn't have a break at all, playing exactly the same level of football.
Great header to be fair.Alisson concedes 1st goal. Quick sell him! No tbf shit defending from Moreno not closing the cross, and a great header from Belotti. 2-1.
The best Italian striker in recent years, Man United were linked with him recently (not this transfer window). Quality playerBelotti looks like a decent player.
I can imagine. Probably a matter of time before he finds a new home. Certainly looks like he has it in him.The best Italian striker in recent years, Man United were linked with him recently (not this transfer window). Quality player

But are you satisfied with your CM depth?Fabinho looks really good, him and Keita have built up a good understanding with Gini who's making fantastic 3rd man runs.
Really impressed so far with our new look side.

Considering they think Fabinho looks really good they probably are. Fabinho looks well off the pace, not making incisive passes and quite easily bypassed. There was one moment at the end of the half where he was completely bamboozled by a simple swivel and was running back like he was in quick sand.But are you satisfied with your CM depth?
Attacking depth worries me much much more.But are you satisfied with your CM depth?
He turns quickly starts moves. He's obviously still rusty and will take time to get acclimated to premier league pace. But I can see qualities that we don't have with Henderson and i can see what he's going to bring in certain games.Really? I don’t think he’s looked particularly good.
Or hopefully they just peaked last season and are on the downward spiral into mediocrity?Salah and Firmino are a little rusty atm.
