Today's Football 2018-19 Season

Commentators saying that Wolves played well when really the RS were dreadful

Pleasure to see them lose and the BBC so obviously collectively crestfallen. Good night all round.

The invincible quadruple winners have lost 6 games and are out of two comps. It’s the league or bust now, god forbid Klopp doesn’t deliver it, the kopites will be out for blood.

I obviously don't agree and think major trophies are what they're primarily after, less fixture congestion will be an advantage.

LvG and Conté were both sacked either straight after or not long after winning this cup, for top four clubs it's a bonus if they win it but doesn't really mean much in the final reckoning.

I won't be pandering to those sort of views.

They can spin coming 4th as winning all they like but it's still losing. Those owners who sack managers after trophies but hold up coming third or fourth as success are stains on modern football.

Klopp is a perennial trophy dodger so I won't be having any of that lot playing down yet another cup exit.

Putting all your eggs in one basket a dangerous game for a manger who needs silverware pretty soon .

Twice in a week I can dig this from the archives lol lol

Bullets in the post for shearer there....

 

[deipnosophist]

great to see Liverpool lose again...I find my enjoyment of football exists vicariously nowadays...watching other teams beat Liverpool...because Everton never does.

 

[paulbefc]

That Keita doesn't look great, does he?

 

[Saint Domingo]

Lineker looking for some kopite propaganda from Shearer then gutted when it didn’t arrive.

Well they ain't won any trophies for a while so I'd say they shouldn't be dismissing the FA Cup so readily.

p.s those two managers were sacked whether they won it or lost it anyway

oh and pps since we last won it in 1995 only Wigan and Portsmouth have won it apart from either the rs, Arsenal, Utd, Chelsea or City.

That tells me that the top teams tend to take it seriously because they are the ones who are winning it.

Yes that's a point of view but they will point to increasing their chances of winning one of the two major trophies they're in and stand a realistic chance of winning.

They haven't the largest squad and as we can see their reserves aren't good enough so after a busy and hectic period this made sense.

They will say they're aiming to win major honours, it's very arguable that the FA cup is anywhere near that especially for the top clubs

They've won nothing under klopp.

They are in no position to prioritise.

Them and Spurs have hardly won anything for a decade so I don't think either side can really turn there nose up at winning any trophy

We all laughed at Wolves fans before the season, but to be fair to them they’re a decent team. If they spend wise in the summer, they could be easily in the shout for the 7th place trophy.
