Pretty much. Man City's financial antics are one thing, but Liverpool's form in the last month or so has been pretty poor. Salah and Nunez have been much better going forward than in recent works.
Also I see how little faith the poster had in Arsenal sticking the landing and keeping the Man City wolf from knocking down the door.
As far as I recall Liverpool have had a bad drop in form every season under klopp

With La Liga, it's more that they didn't use goal-line technology. Something which, until the weekend, I didn't know as I assumed most big leagues have it, not least given the Premier League has been using that for over a decade, the Championship now uses it and it seems to work just fine when they remember to turn it on (the exception being Villa v Sheffield United in the first game back after lockdown).
Even without the goal line tech var should pickup the ball over the line

Remember the endless pub arguments about various decisions that is now the var room .

Clearly Liverpool and Nottingham Forest aren't the only ones who have a problem with refereeing standards.
Admittedly it is a surprise to learn La Liga does not use goal-line technology given the Premier League has had this since 2013.
The UK var advocates like to say how var works well in other countries.
and
its only bad here.
its not the operation which is flawed it's the concept of var.

No, I just live in a world where there are more than the same old same old two parties neither of which I like.
Disliking Labour does not make you a Tory.
What makes you a Tory is living in a world of 'I'm alright Jack' where you gloat about how well your life is going while not giving a crap about other peoples lives.Remind you of anyone?
Doing the tories work makes you a tory.
Reminds me of the person who doesn't want people's lives improved by a labour government
I've been less than alright since serious illness three years ago and I've been volunteering for the NHS ever since making a real difference to real people's lives.

Well more to the left of Thatcher is more left than I and others currently think so they could be right LOL
Yeah but you think like a tory as seen in your constant attacks of labour.

I dont think it will be.Rachel Reeves in the Times this morning says Labour will be more pro business than Blair with another hint about watering down the workers rights proposals.
Labour won't grow the economy by being anti business

Absolutely fantastic entertainment here in Holyrood today. Suspect Yousaf's days could be very numbered. He's such a donkey and was never fit to be FM anyway.
Another bad choice by nats who make bad choices.

No not great, but better than now, and at least a government could actually do something about it.
Not much different to now unreliable dirty and expensive.
govt did little to fix it cos it cost money to improve. And government would rather spend the money elsewhere. Keep an eye out for labour nicking the investment money I bet it'll get happen cos the same people demanding nationalisation also demand other spending.

Me too I could decide to travel by train with no notice, I'd know the fare and I could jump on any train that was going my way.
A joined up service. Will take years to restore that.

I can remember what the railways were like when they were last nationalised. It wasn't great.
I remember too, and I agree. Problem was that govts kept taking back the investment spending. Cos they could always find something else to spend it on. If it had had investment of the current levels it would have been much better.
Nationalisation is politically idiotic cos the govt that nationalises will be blamed for every late train and any rise in fares.nationalisation is a good idea but not a good idea politically. few votes will be won by doing it and loads will be lost.
And the govt will still take back the investment spending. Probably why labour want to nationalise.

No idea if it's allowed cos there's not many lions in Devon, not even east Devon.

I think a certain person on here might say that these commitments might change after they've been elected. 😀
Might do some borrowing for investment spending to create some growth.

defence spending going up...means less money for other things...
It's another way to try to scare people about labour high taxes.

I've got tons of wristbands, programmes, mini guides, bags, plus many many t shirts and fleeces across the decades, but I don't think for the first decade or two.
Also got all sorts of wee badges, furry hats or shades people gave me around the campfire.
i've got about 25 years of programmes (glastonbury & other) on my wall, about to be moved to a different wall.

Don't have kids myself, but talking to friends who do and just having seen the place myself I'd agree that Womad would be a good choice for young kids
best thing i can say about womad is that its unlikely to be duplicating an experience of that child, there's a lot there they're unlikely to experience otherwise.

I can guess as such. A few weeks later, Newcastle played Man City and had an equaliser chalked off due to questions about an offside player interfering with Hart's vision that most people at the time thought was a bullshit reason, and which I think of as still annoying.
But then that's the nature of it. Referees are part of the football mythology, for better or worse.
var is still working out as many said it would its cured nothing of footballs problems, and added a few more.

i've never taken my kid there but i've been and I'm not hooked on the idea of shambala being good for kids, too many inconsiderate wreckheads I'd say, and not very much to keep a kid entertained with apart from the parents.

You are doing the Tories work and I'll keep pointing it out if you don't want me to, stop being like a Tory.
Yes I'm so bad no users have been posting on the forums I created for twenty+ years.
They probably have been cos nothing and no one was beyond fair comment.you were asked to stop being an arsehole. You haven't stopped.
