If there are any (deranged) people out there who are curious to know what its like to be an evertonian, imagine sideshow bob stepping on the rakes forever.

I dont even care who the next manager will be, because it doesnt matter anymore. Whoever it is, it wont work.

Cheer up, least you dont support Newcastle

I feel this sums up being an Everton fan tbh

quote:

What happened on Saturday was very predictable.

Concede first, moan, fume, Silva out. We've not won a game from behind under him and our away record is terrible.

Equalise straight away, oh actually this might be alright. First set piece goal of the season too (in the Prem).

Miss a few sitters, make some subs that are very loving questionable, 'why the fucks he brining DCL on???'. DCL scores, get in there! Maybe I was wrong about Silva, maybe we'll finally win a game from behind!

VAR. gently caress sake. Maybe Pickford will save it? Nah. Take a draw then. 6 minutes added time? Where the gently caress did that come from? Last minute own goal, Everton that.

And on the non football side, it isn't much better.

As promised I walked round to my cousin's house earlier this morning to ask her out. Now I don't want to use the words 'lead on' but they might apply here. I was under the impression we had a connection, we get on well, have a similar sense of humour, and we shagged a few weeks prior. In my mind, the next step would be a form of exclusivity. Turns out we aren't on the same wavelength. And I'll be honest it was pretty loving awkward lads.

TL;DR she told her sister about us (no one else in the family knows) and now it's loving spread around like Spanish influenza.

i just read it, and it is confusing as hell, but from what i've managed to extract

1) the main issue is that a bunch of players were annoyed they had to isolate despite not having covid and

2) lfc kind of screwed themselves as it is now an away game

i...didn't think any of it was particularly funny? just sort of uninteresting and i'm a little annoyed i took the time to actually try and read it

Here's the full bullet point list from that Athletic article. I'll see if I can get the full text unless that's against forum rules.

quote:

Over the last ten days, The Athletic has been able to establish the following:

- Liverpool decided to send their players for precautionary PCR tests using a laboratory called BioGrad after a round of negative lateral flow tests

- Liverpool requested the postponement before knowing the results from this additional round of testing

- Liverpool conducted this additional testing because they were fearful of a second outbreak at the club, but it went beyond what was needed to get the tie played

- Positive results were then returned for 13 players

- When these erroneous tests were discounted, neither the club or any of the other authorities in the process highlighted that development publicly

- Klopp�s incorrect terminology triggered the EFL into thinking it might have to open an investigation. However it is clear that Liverpool had no motive to get the game called off

- Some Liverpool players were unhappy and frustrated they were unable to play in two games and were forced into isolation, away from their families, despite not having COVID-19

It seems like much ado about nothing to me, but I will admit that hearing that from a Liverpool fan doesn't mean much.

Wait so which part of Liverpool sending a bunch of players who had already tested negative to the daughter of Kenny fwiggin Dalglish for covid tests and then requesting a postponement before the results are back hilarious?

Also seems weird that the article makes a distinction between the tests being erroneous positives and Klopp calling them false positives.

I'm sure she tampered with all the tests personally while wearing a full replica of her father's Liverpool kit.

Honestly, I think people (online at least) got hung up on Klopp's use of "false" like it was some admission of tampering.
