  1. Harsh on Brendan I think, although I'm certain that the next post about him will influence a total sway of my opinion.

    He's been incredibly unlucky with injuries and recruitment (although the bizarre set-up Liverpool have for transfers has stunted the development of potentially very good Liverpool teams), signing a bunch of players who, on paper, looked excellent (Markovic could yet develop into a real talent), and others that really didn't do anything to justify their fees (Aspas, Balotelli).

    He did provide one of the most exciting and unlikely title challenges in recent years (sure, they had the league's best player in Suarez, but even then few would have predicted them genuinely challenging for the league title), and for that he'll probably always have favour amongst the majority of LFC support, but his tactical inconsistency (admittedly, forced by injuries a lot of the time) and the lack of motivation some players showed under him towards the end of his/their time at the club would dictate that the club needs a change of manager.

    Klopp would be a good long-term option; he's proven as a manager who can bring through young talent, and his teams are exciting as well as good at keeping the ball, which Liverpool fans will like. But honestly, if I had the option of picking Ancelotti over him, it seems like a no-brainer. A proven winner.

  2. Bartending is actually pretty tough, depending where you work. You're essentially giving the most powerful legal depressant in the world to people, and people are often dreadful enough sober.

    Ordering a Guinness last in your order should be punishable by hanging, IMO. And people who wave their money at you when they want served. People who put their change on a soaking bar top. People who moan about 'taking half an hour to get served' when you've seen the person complaining has only come up to the busy bar in the last few minutes. There's loads of gripes. That said, it can also be a lot of fun when you work somewhere good.

  3. Pet hate: going to get a bus, and having a drunk old man shout vile homophobic abuse at you and your mate, having a mop bucket thrown at you and then having to deal with police asking you questions.

    I know this is pretty run-of-the-mill pet hate but hey.

  4. Newcastle keep signing total weirdos. Next-up is Chancel Mbemba, a central defender from Anderlecht. He's had THREE different registered dates of birth throughout his career, and could be aged anywhere between 20 and 26. Mint.

    After Obafemi Martins, anything is possible
