Hoping you’re not changing subjects just because I’m 10, not make that 11, pints in, Bern? :1laughter:

On a more serious note, I think it’s the son, Josh.

The thing is John1, apart from one outstanding season, was he ever that great at Arsenal? Look he scored a couple of cup final winners, scored one of the best Arsenal goals I’ve ever seen (from memory in Turkey or Greece) and was pretty decent. Indeed, I see him as an Arsenal legend.

But week in, week out, I’ve seen far better. Rangers, who I agree aren’t too class, have better players. That’s why he can’t get into their team. It’s all personal opinion, of course. But in my view we dodged a bullet by not bringing him back.

To be fair, Bernard, the current version of Ramsey is nothing like the player we had. He might be only 31 but he has been playing first team football since he was 16/17 and the injuries have really taken their toll. He was a very very good player for us and had he not suffered an injury in the latter half of the season when Leicester won the league, we might well have won it. After Fabregas left, it looked like Ramsey and Wilshire would be our midfield for years. I still remember a game against Man Utd when the two of them were very young but they dominated the midfield. Sadly, injury wrecked Wilshire and considerably damaged Ramsey. I totally agree that returning to us would not be a good move, but he was a fine player for us.

On a separate note, how can I still be typing like this after 11 pints? I’m normally done after 6 these days.

Paul Gascoigne has eleven pints for breakfast.

What brand of beer/lager have you had, or what mix of beers/lagers?

Oh, and I am currently 10 pints in.

Iechyd da pawb!

And at the other end of the spectrum, and far more heartwarming, I’ve been watching an interview with Ade Akinenwa who is now retiring at 40. What a truly great bloke. Respect.

Perhaps it’s going to be our new stadium.

Wow. The figures quoted for Mbappe are truly astounding. Something like £100m signing on fee plus about £1m per week plus bonuses.

Financial Fair Play. Yeah right. What is ironic is that La Liga are moaning despite the finances of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Must admit I’d never heard of him. Just looked him up on Wikipedia. Says he came from Islington but supported Liverpool as a kid. That makes him a prat in my books.

End of another season upon us and before I forget.

Warrior, thank you for another great season of caring for the website.
To the moderators - thank you

To Judith and family - thank you for allowing us all to continue to participate in Steve's dream.

To all the other forumites : enjoy the off season.

10 pints!!! I only ever did that once and that was about half a century ago. And it didn’t go well.

Ten pints? Must admit I do drink beer and lager to be sociable when going to a pub with mates. But it’s not something I enjoy. Much prefer red wine.

He’s on more than 3 times the salary we had Özil on. That’s just mental. The moaning from Madrid is pathetic really but you have to say the premise of their moaning is justified.

Can we just get these state and oil clubs and put them in their in their own league.

11 pints? I'm amazed that you can still type.

We are crap at turning massive possession into good chances

Pool surprisingly down a goal at home to Wolves

On the way home now. it’s been a day out in Liverpool city Centre and the theatre; hugely annoying because of the mass of full kit w#nkers on display. But hey ho, that’s the price I pay in supporting the greatest team in the world. COYG

When all is said and done, Areta improved. Almost all of us would have been very happy with 5th prior to the season. That said, we have had some endemic issues for a while. 3rd was very close this season. We lost 3rd (and 4th) in the worse possible way: losing to lower sides when it counted and beating teams around us in the same general time period. Can't wait for the documentary. Almost as excited about as I am the new Obi Wan Kenobi movie.

Think it's a bit sad that possibly the best player in the world is going to continue playing his trade in the French league purely because of money.

4-1 now, but it was all over for fourth before kick off. A season of progress and some promise despite the way it has ended. I hope the club have the sense to continue with another transfer window like last summer. We need to continue clearing out the dead wood and buying young talent willing to give everything for the cause.

It would be nothing short of a miracle if Villa holds of City but would love to see it happen and Liverpool get a win. Quad still in play.
