Thought I would start off a thread, bit of friendly banter not too heavy and an opportunity to express your ideas about your favourite team.

 

What are you hoping for in the January transfer market?

 

As a Liverpool fan I am hoping for cover for Mane and the front 3.

The way this season has gone and the way we have been playing I'll take any win....

.....especially against our biggest rivals

People say that the Manchester clubs' biggest rivals are each other but so not true. Liverpool are our biggest rivals and always have been since I was a young supporter going to the Theatre of Dreams with my dear old dad.

I am sure the reverse is true between the two Liverpool clubs. A fixture between Man United and Liverpool has always been the highlight(s) of any season. I'm still having nightmares about last season's 7-0 drubbing so today's result is quite special to any United fan

We tend to ignore the noisy neighbours over in Moss Side with all the Arab money buying their success. No club can compete fairly with them and they should be relegated for all the financial rules they have broken. The charges and ruling have yet to be decided and the footballing world awaits....

Totally agree with what you said @jonsie 

Having supported Liverpool for over 60 years, I echo that our main rival has always been Man Utd.

As for Peps puppies, it`s down to Arab money poured in. 

btw aren`t Man City under investigation and could lose points in the Premier League ?

@Mi-Amigo 

The financial rule breaches City stand accused of began in 2009 and extended through to 2018, effectively covering the first decade of Sheikh Mansour's reign as the club's owner. Three Premier League titles were won during the period under investigation, as well as an FA Cup and three League Cups

No problem @Mi-Amigo 

Everyone knows in Sir Alex Fergusons day, Man City were a nothing club.

This is what's spoiling F1. The Arab countries are so rich they are willing to pay millions to have races run there in the flaming heat, wind and humidity. Liberty Media are greedy and virtually accept all offers which put money into F1

Once (still is) claimed of United's fan base that supporters were just glory seekers

Strange that the very same thing could be said of City

Biggest Arab support group ....

So...my team Coventry City played Man U in the FA semi final.

By half time we were 3-0 down. Second half we pulled 3 goals back. Then (in extra time) we scored again only for VAR to rule it offside.

It went to penalties. We lost 4-2. What a game. PUSB❤️

Did you watch it @jonsie ?
