Well, most of the are children, including our manager and what he achieved at his level of experience and with the level of the players experience is nothing short of a miracle. I, as a Liverpool fan, am proud of my team and confident of it's future. YNWA

It's just as much shit as most of the teams get on here. Chelsea get loads

You're the second person to complain about their team being picked on in about a week after verse did it, the simple fact of the matter is that if your team fucks up spectacularly you're going to get abuse, especially when, as a fan base in general you've spent most of the season giving it out (not necessarily on here).
And you did lose the title like children, and it was really, really funny.
(well until City inevitably fuck up tomorrow, the useless cunts)

This. I'm also tired of being told of how I should be supporting them because they're somehow the good guys in all of this, and as if they've never spent a penny. I dislike City and Chelsea as much as the next guy but at least they never claim to be the 'people's choice' or anything like that.

But Gerrard deserves it, YAWN. Laaaaaa.

I wouldn't have minded if Liverpool had won it - they've waited a while (not as long as Newcastle ffs), played the best football, and their manager is a reasonable fellow. But just because I find Man City and Chelsea annoying doesn't mean I'm suddenly going to campaign for Liverpool to do it.
Anyway, in other news: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27289819
Something about this really does not work as an idea, be it the lazy copying of Spanish ideas to try and emulate them, making fixture arranging unnecessarily complicated and the fact it compromises the Football League as an entity. But also, why not just either make teams include younger talents in a first team squad, or tell them to reduce this unnecessary "buy everyone else's players then send 25 on loan" that they all fucking do?

Just reeks of the FA trying to suck up to the Prem and give into their wishes, should be laughed out

City facing £50m fine

Talking about this in the City thread. They're rejecting that settlement. Also, pretty sure the fine has to come from the "club" not the owners

Now... I hope Liverpool wins it just to rub it in, so I'll have an excuse to act like a cunt. He who laughs last, laughs better!

This is a such a shit idea. Whats wrong with reserve leagues or the loan system? Nothing. The FA are just sucking up to the big clubs as usual.
Ninja
Very clearly quite a lot.
FWIW, I think this is a good idea and will benefit the English game massively. Not just because of the fact it will let the biggest academy's develop players easier but because it stops clubs abusing the loan system in lieu of developing their own players

B teams really is giving into the big clubs and could mean that we have a real stagnation in the lower leagues, teams would move up the pyramid and then get stuck amongst a bunch of reserve sides and struggle. Realistically, how many of us would go and watch a B team?
bmg033
Their best young players will join PL teams for a tiny fee and then drop to the PL B teams. These B teams would then probably beat all the lower league teams, as they have the best players. The lower league teams will then be forever stuck in League 2 as they can't keep their best players, don't get enough money from player sales to rebuild their squads, don't get decent loan players from bigger teams and they will effectively be having to play against the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City and so on, every week. Whats to say the B teams wont become full of foreigners like the first teams anyway?
Also, don't start banging on about how they do it in Spain or Germany or whatever, because the English Football League has history and tradition, unlike the foreign lower leagues. To be honest I don't see anything wrong with the current reserve league system, the FA should leave them as they are.

Do you honestly think the proponents of such a system would be okay with the B-teams starting play at the very bottom of the pyramid?
Ninja
No, but it's not beyond the realms of possibility that a compromise for them getting the system they want is that they start low and work their way up.
An easy way to do it surely is to have the current system but with promotion from the reserve league in to league 2 via the conference play offs (and remove the last play off spot from the conference).

I think they should just limit the amount of players a team is allowed to have out on loan at one time. Stops bigger clubs hogging all the talent

I'm still yet to hear a genuine objection to a properly implemented system of this plan.
Slashman X
It will lead to big clubs like City, Chelsea, Utd etc buying basically every young "talent" in the lower leagues and throwing them into their B teams. That is not a good scenario for the current lower league teams
