Liverpool fans are acting like Klopp is the solution to the refugees' crisis, financial crisis, Klopp can feed the poor in Africa and Klopp can cure cancer. They are so funny and childish, imagine if things turn out to be not as great as they thought. Can't wait to laugh to their faces.

NUFC is pretty much screwed now without their number 1 GoalKeeper.

Defender Tim Hoogland, who Klopp signed for Mainz back in 2007, remembers the fundamental rule of working for Klopp: “I think this is one of the important things you have to know about him. The whole team has to run 120 km (74.5 miles) collectively every game. 120km minimum."

When I die and go to hell, the Devil will punish me by making me listen for all eternity to moaning Arsenal phone-in fans.

Apparently, in the last set of accounts for the goons, a company owned by Kroenke was paid £3m for "consultancy" services which equates almost to the penny to the extra revenue raised by increased ticket prices in that same period.

Also the morally altruistic Arsenal are refusing (like most other clubs, but not Chelsea) to pay their staff a living wage.

The moral high ground is a lonely place. Take note "comedian" Alan Davies.

[KevinAshburner 1,270]

if it wasn't for Aston Villa and Newcastle United and Sunderland being bad this season in BPL 2015/2016.

Chelsea FC would have been Relegated or CFC could still be relegated but it is up to the ILLUMINATI to decide if CFC are going down at the end of this season.

Danny Ings out for the season now.

Here's some extracts from Sam Allaradyce's autobiography.

Big Sam on… the Moon landings

“Neil Armstrong claims to be the first man on the Moon, and fair play to him, it’s a results business. But it’s not as if he flew there himself, is it? Any old duffer can sit in a metal box and get blasted into space. I’d like to have seen him try and navigate his way there using a dog-eared Esso Road Atlas. I’d have a lot more respect for him then.

“Also, I didn’t like that whole ‘one small step’ business. If it was me – and I admit, walking on the lunar surface is still an aspiration rather than an achievement at this stage – I would have taken a ruddy big step. You’ve got to get stuck in, show the Moon you’re not intimidated. He went down in my estimation after that.”

Big Sam on… Jesus

“It does rankle with me at times, the double standards you see in the press. Jesus walks on water and they build a religion around him. I get Bolton into the top six with one of the smallest budgets in the Premiership and everybody calls me a long-ball manager. Anyway, if Jesus is such a miracle worker, how come he got caught? You’ve got to win your battles.

“By the way, the walking-on-water thing is a myth. I’m not saying he didn’t do it, just that it’s easier than it looks. Any non-Newtonian fluid of a minimum viscosity can be subjected to a short period of shear stress if the body exerting the force is light enough – and people were a lot smaller in Biblical times, that’s a known fact. We actually tried it on a warm-weather camp in La Manga once. We filled the pool with cornflour and Sammy Lee was able to run across without breaking the surface. We’ve got the Prozone printouts to prove it.”

Big Sam on… Big Sam

“The perception of childbirth is that mothers do the donkey work, but I don’t live in the world of perception, I live in the world of reality. It was a nine-month slog to fight my way out of that womb, and although it wasn’t always pretty, I ultimately achieved my objective, on time and on budget.

“You’re there to be shot at when you’re a recently-fertilised embryo, so those months were all about keeping it tight, maintaining a good shape, concentrating on the process, making sure that when the opportunity presented itself, I grabbed it with both hands. Passing the magic 40-week mark was a big psychological boost, and a big accomplishment to put on my CV. It wasn’t an ideal introduction by any stretch, but at that early age you’re just glad of the work.

[Fulham Broadway 16,407]

Big Sam has said some good things recently about Wenger and Wet Spam fans.

He also hates the Spanish Waiter
