By the balls!

RedmenTV is mental - I had a friend who used to link me to all their videos. Needless to say we aren't friends anymore.

Its a good laugh and the guys on there aren't cocky knobheads, most of their assessments of the team I've agreed with tbh.

The main host is beyond punchable.

Klopp to Liverpool is pretty exciting though. Van Gaal, Klopp, and Mourinho all in the same league - what's not to like?

While Arsenal fans continue to say Wenger Out..Wenger In..Wenger Out..Wenger In.

I'm going to miss pearlers like this

“It is great for the public here at Sunderland to see us,” said manager Brendan Rodgers. “They must have been wondering what this team everyone is talking about are all about and now they have seen. We were wonderful.

“Our intention is always to pass teams to a standstill, but give credit to Sunderland, they defended ever so well when other teams might have wilted.

“I suppose when you pay that kind of money for Sessegnon and Gardner, £7m and £5m, they will come up with those moments of real quality.

“Our objective at the start of this season was to stay in the league but I believe we can finish in the top 10. Of course, it is all about getting results but I still thought we were brilliant."


Final score - Sunderland 2 Swansea 0

Stuff from when he was at Swansea?

It's a bit annoying this didn't come in the summer but I suppose the board were willing to see if he could turn it around which unfortunately backfired. He started to get a bit desperate towards the end and over the years he's contributed to his own downfalls, such as the famous "don't judge me now, judge me in 3 years" as well as "if you spend £100MIL on players, you should be challenging for the league"... Proved easier said than done. When the pressure was on, he couldn't handle it.

In fairness he did give us a great season in 13/14 but since then it's all been rather bland and bleak.

Those quotes have really come back to bite him.. and yes the 13/14 was a great season and he, Gerrard and the team deserved better than to lose the title in that way, it seemed to really shake him up and his belief in his philosophy. He never looked like being able to marry good attacking football with solid defence, it just ended up being neither and quite a drab season despite the midseason push for the top four.

I am sad it didn't work out for him as he's young and if he got it right he could've been successful for many years

Ain't that the truth (about age).

How Liverpool fans turned on Rogers is just disgusting.

 

[Pagnell]

Agreed. Self-flagellation for every one of them. I've just done mine, but that was just because I enjoy it.

 

[SALTIRE]

Tom Werner gives a rather cold judgement on Rodgers it seems.

"We brought in some new players that Brendan recommended that we thought would take us forward.”

 

[merseyboyred]

I don't think the players brought in this summer are an issue at all, but I know that's not what they're getting at. In fact it was a very solid transfer window for us!

Hey jt. I normally avoid commenting upon your posts as your sole intention is to WUM, but I felt compelled to commend you upon your consistency here. 1,077 posts of that same quality is some feat.

 

[The Iron]

Cheer up JT, Everton aren't that bad are they?

I'm beginning to see why Bilo fucked off.

 

[Stevencc]

Yeah, he didn't have a sense of humour when it came to jokes at Liverpool's expense either.

You lot must be the most miserable bunch of bastards on God's green earth!

 

[JimJams]

Imagine if they'd got Avram Grant instead of Klopp!

I've got a sense of humour, I simply find the sourcing of obsessive idiots from fan forums or Youtube incredibly tedious. And not just in the case of Liverpool fans.

Saltire reckons Redmen TV aren't cocky nobheads. I find a Redmen TV video of some cocky nobhead. I post it.

If you find things like this incredibly tedious feel free not to waste your time commenting on it - it's a simple enough solution.

This is one of the presenters.

Humble.

I suppose that's the kind of level-headed, objective and rational style of debate that Saltire enjoys watching.

Yes - Bilo is the Paolo Maldini of objectivity, reason, and level-headedness.

I think I love it now.
