Because calling out racism is boring? Yeah, I get that.

Ok mate, it was called the Jew Shop, yeah? And it was meant "affectionately" even though, according to you, and I quote, it was "known as the Jew shop as everything brand wise were cheaper". End of, as you say.

I know that's what everyone called it, and it was offensive then as well as now. The only difference is that a lot of people didn't understand that it was offensive then, but (hopefully) do now. But you can't say there were no racial undertones to calling a shop owned by a Jewish couple "The...

I don't get it mate - how can there be no racial undertones to calling a place run by an old Jewish couple "The Jew Shop"?

It wasn't known as the Jew Shop because it was cheap - did people even back then still think those kind anti-semitic tropes were true? - it was because it was run by an old Jewish couple. Back in the 70s, and to a great extent now, Liverpool was a very mono-cultural place, so anyone who wasn't...

Yeah, I've just watched the youtube clips and he looks brilliant, an absolute world-class baller. I remember thinking the same about Sandro though.

After watching the women's football last night, we should put in an offer for Beth Mead. Sensational. I do seriously wonder though if we're reaching the point where we drop the gender divide in football. Why not have someone like Beth playing alongside other quality players, whatever their...

Everything about him is impressive for his age. Nobody knows how he'll develop - even if he doesn't kick on massively then he's got a decent career ahead of him, either for us or a smaller club. The best thing for him would be staying here under Lampard and getting another season of regular...

Ok, I've already been shut down on my DCL claim, and now I have to eat humble pie on Lukaku. My revised position is that Broja is a decent prospect, could be as good as DCL and Lukaku, and is worth spending the Moise Kean money on.

Fair point, I didn't realise how well DCL did at that age. But I agree, Broja is not a replacement for DCL, he's an addition.

I doubt we'll be able to get him, but if we can we should deffo do it in my opinion. The lad is only 20 and he's a beast of a player. Okay, I rate DCL very highly but compare where he was at 20 to where Broja is, and then imagine what Broja will be like in four years time. Has to be worth...

I can't believe they're giving him a ban for that. Obviously, very sad never mind etc, he's no longer one of us, but the FA should be disbanded for being utterly useless.

I wish I had hair like him. Tom's worth keeping in my opinion. When he broke into the team, he looked great. I remember him coming on at Chelsea a few years back (we lost of course), and he immediately improved the team and looked as good as anyone on the park, making things happen...

Be weird without him, but deffo time for him to fly the coop.

To be fair, neither midfield is brilliant, but he's done the relegation battle last season with Brentford, so I guess he'd rather be at the top end of the table this time around, even if it's with a hugely underperforming giant like Man U. Plus, they probably offered him double the wages.
