Their cheating meant that the Premier League wasn't a fair and honest competition for well over a decade. I agree, non-league is the only option, along with stripping titles.

I was in halls in Liverpool with a lad from Portadown. Nice fella. He used to get papers sent from home, almost on a daily basis, so he could keep up with news of the troubles in NI. That was 34 years ago and yet here we are today! Wanting to parade about something that happened in 1690? FFS!!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

You're welcome. Well done for supporting such a worthwhile cause. I hope you manage to get some kip!

I'm not optimistic that it will happen but I am kind of hoping City will have to pack it all in and start again. A proper bottom of the pyramid phoenix club job! I've experienced it with my home town team, Hereford United and it was horrible but they weren't state owned cheats!

The appeal process will probably take another few years but so many charges and guilty of most. Surely it has to be more than just financial punishment? Send them down to the Northern League!

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I agree and I appreciate that I probably look a right misery for not wanting them to introduce it. I don't have a problem with the current rules, it's only a 45 minute wait for a pint and I can't see how it enhances the experience? Fans coming and going more, potential to get soaked in beer etc

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

It's bad enough now, the amount of times you have to stand up during a game to let people out. It'll only get worse if fans are on the ale throughout the match as well.

I can't comment on the performance. I only saw the last 20 minutes as we went out for lunch. Very happy with the 3 points though! Up Andoni's unbeaten Reds!

You criticise if you like Ben but I think it was one big positive tonight. The youngsters were great and the best thing is that they get to have another go in the next round. Jacquet looks different class!

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I enjoyed that. Another step in the right direction for Andoni's Reds. One of those rare occasions where you couldn't criticise any player, it was just a great team effort from them all. What a goal to seal it too!! 😲

Surely one of the greatest knee slide celebrations of all time! Perfectly judged. 👌

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Ah, I see. It was a problem last season too. They need to go into every game switched on, not just the glamour fixtures.

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

To be fair, there will be a lot of season ticket holders who can't afford two games in a week. Who would you choose between Athletico Madrid and Fulham? They can get a refund on the PL ticket when it's sold on the ticket exchange.

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

On the way home from the Forest game, my 17th LFC game in a row without seeing us lose, I was thinking how supporting such a successful club isn't a normal football fan experience. Boy can't you see that today. A disappointing result, yes! Some serious overreaction to a point at home though.

020

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I finished watching the Channel 4 Dispatches on Yaxley-Lennon this evening. In many ways it's nothing we didn't already know. He's a grifting, morally bankrupt racist. The way he used that poor grooming gang victim is pure evil though. He's absolute scum to profit from someone's pain like that.

I love that you've got the fella with the man bag in there! 👌

Well done Andoni's unbeaten Redmen! Great early goals from Isak, Munoz superb again, Araujo solid, Barcola's debut and youngsters getting minutes off the bench. Lovely stuff! 🙌

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

"He's done well there and won his team a free-kick". Let's be honest FFS, he cheated! Remember the fuss when Klinsmann signed for Spurs? Almost every player in the PL today is more of a 'diver' than he ever was!

Hopefully he'll take a day off from his Saudi job to do some work for Liverpool.

Maguire wouldn't have even had a shot if he hadn't handballed it! Ridiculous rule!

010

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Another thing, I hadn't actually noticed before today but Gakpo is actually quite a big lad, a physical presence in a physically small team. Only VVD & Jacquet would look down on him. It's a useful attribute in a very physical league and he doesn't get bundled off the ball very often, unlike others.

140

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

You're 4th! I'd take a win and a draw right now. 🤣

000

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Gakpo is a seasoned international. A grown-up player in a team containing many youngsters. His numbers for LFC are ok. He had a poor season last term but still got 7 PL goals and 5 assists. More than most! Selling him with the squad as it is now, even with Barcola coming in, would be mindless!

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

A few thoughts on todays game. Jacquet & Munoz look excellent signings, Araujo too. VVD still good. Tsimikas should start ahead of Kerkez on the left and we need a new right back. Also need a proper CDM and more squad depth in general. Wirtz and Isak were good in flashes but need to contribute more.

Players at the end of the Liverpool v Nottingham Forest game at Anfield.

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Picked up a last minute returned season ticket. Not all bad but gifting chances. Frimpong is not a right back!

020

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

I really like Andoni Iraola but this just shows that he's inherited a squad with many, many problems.

041

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

The ticket situation is hard and I would be fuming if I thought I'd legitimately reached the magic 13 credits and the club said no! I've been to 7 PL games in the last 2 seasons, all tickets bought off the club at face value. I received 3 credits in total. They want us all to buy hospitality seats!

010

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

He's a decent player but I am not sure paying over £60 million for him makes much sense.

000

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Am fully expecting Bournemouth to reject a £50 million bid from Liverpool for Rayan before the close of play on Friday.

130

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

I'm not saying we are going to be this season's Spurs but the fear I had at the end of last season remains. An injury prone Alisson, an ageing VVD, a porous midfield now shorter on numbers, unproven youngsters, no right winger etc...

A comprehensive look at the Bezos situation from Chris here..

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

"How are we supposed to root for anything Jeff Bezos is involved with"? That's the thing isn't it. I deleted my Amazon and Facebook accounts on the back of Trump's inauguration. Now Bezos & a FB founder are going to be part owners of LFC. For all his faults at least Brexit Jim was a Utd fan before.

Just been reading about the investment and it's all very depressing in my opinion. They will own around a third of the club. Bhatia (a Tory donor) & Saverin are venture capitalists. They will just want profit from this. Bezos gave Trump $1 million for his inaugural fund. He's clearly a c**t!

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

BBC Sport are reporting that there is an option to buy. He doesn't look a long-term prospect to me but at least it's vital cover in an area full of ageing or unproven players.

110

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Good to sign an experienced defender in Araújo. I don't recall watching him play but to have played 143 games for Barca he must have something about him. A big lad at 6'3 so fingers crossed he's decent in the air. Hopefully more signings to come. 🤞

Jules Hudson, of Escape to the Country fame, also has his own section on the Hereford Times website. Can they shoehorn him into a story involving the SAS and The Hamster for the hat trick?

As with Rio, given their age, all of those players will need to have their minutes managed. Experienced reinforcements are still very much needed IMO

000

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Leoni and Jacquet haven't played too much in any league, nevermind the more physical PL. I wouldn't judge too much on that pre-season although Nyoni's long-term potential is clear.

100

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Why do you think Rio is the least ready of those 4 to be a starter? Two of the others have never played in the Premier League and Nyoni's promising, albeit brief appearances, have come from the bench. He's played 21 minutes so far.

100

James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

It sounds similar to Paul Davis from Happy Mondays. Shaun Ryder wrote in his autobiography how annoyed he was that Davis couldn't even be bothered learning to play once they achieved success. He said that if he sued for wrongful dismissal they would have just wheeled a piano out as their defence. 🤣
