    Who on earth has a Stoat for a club mascot ?

    Bloody French. Been far too long since we went to war with them.

    I think we were favourites even before the Turkish bid was withdrawn but good news anyway, only shame is that the Emirates won’t be one of the tournament venues which I’d have liked to see.

    Why?

    I'd be quite happy to see it replayed - maybe Spuds wouldn't win the next time and also it wodl give both teams an extra fixture - what's not to like?

    On this occasion sure, an extra fixture for them both could do us a favour (although I also agree when mandela said that Liverpool dropping points is arguably better for us longer term). But the precedent it would set is a ridiculous one. We replayed that Sheffield Utd Cup tie, but that was a bit different as it was our mistake and we offered the do-over. How many games are you going to have to reply if you start going down this road?

    as many as it takes before those useless sods learn to get it right ?

    I'd have been happy to play that Brentford game again last season after we got robbed by VAR

    Mistakes have always been part of the game. But it is somewhat galling that it's the thing which is supposed to prevent them which is now causing the controversy
    Is basic competence really so much to ask?

    Years ago a mate and myself had an disagreement about whether making referees professional would improve things - his stance was no it wouldn't, mine was of course it would and that it was ridiculous that in such a big game the refs were still amateur. Well, I think we can all agree I was wrong

    As Letters has said you know why. Even take away the practicalities, it’s bullshit….it’s totally antithetical to even the basic lessons we teach our children about life. Sometimes it’s unfair, sometimes bad things will happen of no fault of your own. But more important than that, where do you draw the line? Do we get a replay of the Brentford match, a replay of the man United game at old Trafford last season and then if we win those games do we retrospectively win the title? Where does it end, it’s a charter for sore losers.

    The thing about football is that it’s fine to be annoyed by poor decisions by officials but you’re never going to eliminate human error so where does it end?

    I like Klopp both as a manager and a person, but he can go fuck himself with this. The fact that he lost that game is far more indicative of his own players Indiscipline.
