Liverpool are no doubt the best club side in Europe at the moment. Wouldn't put it pass them to retain the champions league. Hopefully utd board will wake the fuck up and ditch the deadwood as liverpool and city did so ruthlessly at the start of Guardiola and Klopps reigns.

Best club in the world.

Well news gets better for utd, rashford is out for 2 months with a stress fracture.

It’s so dumb.

I like Keane, and don’t like Carra all that much (as pundits, roles were reversed as players). It felt like someone at Sky had told Carragher to ‘go at him’ as it would create good telly and bring about lots of clicks on social media.

Yep. Then you end up thinking that fanTV shite is worth following then you find out they're all Murdoch puppets too.

I was watching some of the American football last night and the way they analyse things sounds like gobbeldegook to me but just about parsable.

But one of the really cool bits was how the two pundits sort of had this rom-com chemistry when talking about how player x done in player Y and how it evoked this team from twenty years ago. They were basically finishing off each other(s tactics line). It was quite a joyous bit of punditry.

It is deffo possible to have good analysis that is friendly. The problem is though the pundits on sky prem have too much skin in the game. Keane obviously loves Solskjaer but even he must admit he’s not doing the job Man U demand after sacking mourinho and the time he’s had and the money he’s spent. If any other manager with solskjaers record showed up there’s no way they’d be anywhere near Man U.

Yeah the BBC NFL coverage is fantastic.
I think they pitch it to be informative knowing a lot of viewers won't necessarily know the game and it is a bloody complex game. Plus you are right, the chemistry is great.

In terms of football coverage I always enjoy MotD2 much more than the Saturday show.
No Shearer for a start but they tend to have a lighter tone in general and less games normally means better analysis.

Yeah, it’s like all these stupid YouTube ‘fan channels’. Drama, outrage, confrontation & disagreement fuel them (and drive their cynical business models). There’s no room for genuine insight or calm appraisal.

I dunno, I think both Redmen TV and The Anfield Wrap are both good watches, with measured intelligent punditry.  Can't speak for other teams' YouTube channels though.

@Moot_Geeza.    Is it that both Woodward's and OGS's fates are now intrinsically linked?  One can't go without the other?  The Chief Exec had got what he thought was 'his man' but now Champions League qualification is seriously in doubt, no matter how bad things might get he can't sever that appendage without incurring massive bloodloss that might prove fatal to himself?

I’m lovin’ it.

Our fan channels aren't that bad to be fair - from what I've seen. Mercifully free of rapping too, which is good. The Anfield Wrap anyway, which seems alright. But things are going well for us at the mo.

ArsenalTV and the like are the ones I was moaning about, they just hang around outside the ground after a bad defeat just waiting for a handful of the 50,000 fans to rant and rave, rip up their season ticket on camera and denounce everything about the club. Throw in the odd leading question to rev them up a bit, pocket the profits from broadcasting it and move onto the next game. Basically contributing nothing, except to their companies profits. 

The Jeremy Kyle-brand of supporter feedback, loud braying morons shouting and calling everyone a disgrace whilst egged on by some lowest common denominator Youtube 'personality'.

I think Woodward will cling on for a few years yet, regardless of whether it makes sense or not. I'm expecting Ole to be replaced at the end of the season unless he secures CL qualification through either door.

I would give ole another season or two as a minimum. Whats the point changing manager again if you dont have the players? Too much deadwood in the squad. I've said it before, Klopp and Guardiola would struggle with this team and the incompetence of the board. If woodward had any footballing nouce, he'd install a proper director of football and go back to signing sponsorship deals.

Short of Saudi takeover of the club, things wont change. It needs chnage from top downwards.
