Yes it's bit of a flawed concept.

 

He probably wasn't consistent enough to get in the list, but would someone like Kinkladze not qualify because he played for one of the "big 6" even though Man City were utter bobbins at the time?

We live in the United States. Earlier today my wife was watching the NBC Morning Show. They were doing a live interview with Matthew McConaughey, asking how he and his family were dealing with Covid 19 quarantine. They showed Mcconaughey's son and guess what shirt the boy is wearing?!

Probably a gift from Kasper, when they did that film together.

Funny isnt it, most people are complimentary on that thread.

 

Know I've said it before but there more I see of these the more grateful I am coronavirus didnt hit in 2016. No Everton trophy match, no parade and no nerves!

 

People mention Liverpool not getting their celebration match / trophy parade but its likely they'll win it again within the next few years and can celebrate then, we'll probably not do again in most of our lifetimes.

Assume you mean 2016?

I used to work with Stan and we spoke about the Ulrika incident. What he did was wrong and he knows it was.

He's still haunted by the shame of it. He gets reminded of it every single day.

He said standing in front of his mum and having to tell her was the worst, most crushing, embarrassing thing in his life, especially as she'd suffered domestic violence.

As for the "he hits women" narrative, it's worth a slither of context.

He slapped (not punched) Ulrika once after she relentlessly goaded him and it was during one of the darkest spells of his early mental health issues.

 

I AM NOT DEFENDING AT ALL WHAT STAN DID AS HE WAS WRONG TO DO SO.

 

Stan gets some really vile abuse over that one incident. However, Gazza regularly smashed the living crap out of his wife yet is often lauded as some hero.

What Stan and Gazza did was wrong but they are very different situations.

Stan's always been good to me - supportive and kind when certain stuff happened - even though we disagree on a number of topics.

Nobody is defending any form of domestic abuse (and Stan wouldn't ask me to ever defend him or his actions) but I felt it was worth adding some detail to the story.

Well, that’s definitely Collymore’s side of the story— I don’t know if we should just go ahead and take that for gospel; Ulrika Jonsson and the witnesses disagree. Pretty strange to make sure to point out that he slapped her (still awful and, again, not what the witnesses or court said), and to use some whataboutery re: Gazza (as awful as what he did was as well).


Based on Piper’s story, it sure seems like Collymore had a tendency to goad people back then. Even though he knew he was wrong and showed real remorse for his actions and what he put his family through (that does count for something), she was the victim. 
 

Glad he’s since gotten the help he needs, that he has been so willing to talk about mental health, and that he hasn’t shied away from confronting racism. He definitely doing good for others there. There is some sort of redemption in this tale but he’s not the only person in the story.

People mention teams in our season being in transition and that helped- in the 2003/04 season, Newcastle finished 5th with 13 wins.

 

Below the top three that league wasn't special, in our season all of the top seven finished with more points than fourth that year. Liverpool finished 4th with 60 in 2004 and 8th with 60 in 2016.

 

Going unbeaten is a sensational achievement but the league wasn't miles better back then.

What’s weird is that you see some folk saying “everybody else was rubbish that year and nobody talks about it”, yeah they do, it was said constantly at the time and ever since. Even if everybody else was rubbish why was it a relegation candidate at 5000-1 that won the league? Because we were ****ing brilliant

...and will they say that this year with MC, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, MU all under performing against their own and the media's perceived view of their performances - No!

Yeah really frustrates me. As if it was other teams' fault that we won the league, not that we took the initiative and had the right talent/dynamic to win it when no-one else stepped up!

Apparently Tottenham, Arsenal and Man United are in a never ending “transition”. The media won’t ever allow one of their darling clubs to be referred to as rubbish. The amount of times I’ve heard that their all in “transition” this season is unbelievable. Same can be said for Chelsea. Even when we were in second the title race was between Man City and Liverpool.
