Didn't say that, or that. Nice try.

It's been a fixture in football for decades and usually the highest gate of the season for most clubs. So yeah, disagree that we should scrap that tradition. When did I say I wasn't clear about Koeman's views? I disagree, that's different.

Fair enough. Completely disagree on all of those points. But not worth bickering over. I hope we have a Christmas schedule like this for years to come.

Not sure what bothers you about football matches on Boxing Day and on 28th. For whose benefit is it if they aren't played?

Christmas games pre-dates Sky by about 100 years. I think there used to be games on Christmas Day with the return match on Boxing Day. The kind of thing our historians will know.

Odd.

It's not in favour of anyone really, just how it is and has been for years. Christmas football is brilliant.

For the love of god.

Probably as least as many as Liverpool still have nationally and world wide despite not winning the league championship in many people's life time? We're not going to get three years of CL in a row, either.

Newspapers fawning over the big clubs again, then.

In that case, I'm with you. Barring an appalling injury crisis, we can do this.

We are going all out. If you are suggesting massive overspending on a raft of new players in January, then that won't happen. Don't get your hopes up. We'll get into the Champions League our way, or we won't get in the Champions League. We're not about to turn into Liverpool/Spurs in our spending.

Clear case of you utterly failing to grasp the basics of this story. You've done a cracking job of demonstrating your feeble understanding a few times on this thread. We get it. You don't get it. Give up now.

I agree with that. I think I wrote that before I saw the snivelling stroppy teenager stuff their MD came out with.

I've posted four words in reply to you on two threads. Someone might want to take forums a wee bit less seriously. Oh no. 30 odd words. Call me a stalker.

Have they increased the allocation yet?

That's nice, dear.

No.

Not really. That last report was based on worked up from some pretty non committal actual quotes.

UKIP could very well see themselves getting SDP'ed, where they achieve a huge raft of votes for bugger all seats, say five or six. Might kick up a bit of collective outrage akin to the "the 45%" stuff in Scotland. Just think, Farage's ultimate legacy could end up being, finally, a proportional voting system, just about the most Lib Demmy thing you could imagine.

UKIP aren't really the ones complaining. And the tweet wasn't about UKIP.

For something that you say is so pointless you do go to some length, every week, to deconstruct whatever he says. And then get worked up about it. The rest of humanity worked out some time ago that these predictions are a bit of conversational froth and really not that important. About time you cottoned on too.

Lazy journo scum no match for our ginger destroyer.

Are there rumours of Lambert coming back? Must have missed that.

He's going to regret signing Fish. Fingers burnt, I fear.
