A lot of Chelsea content around today, to nobody’s great surprise, but the most ludicrous thing anyone has said is still about Liverpool because it nearly always is. Preach around While the rest of the media – including everyone else involved in this fine website – revelled in Chelsea’s latest absolute madness, Mediawatch sighed heavily. It’s absolutely no use to us when the football pages are just full of everyone very correctly going ‘ Chelsea, what the actual f*ck ?’ Thank the heavens, then, for Liverpool.
It really does mean more with those daft lads. There appears currently to be no middle ground in the Jurgen Klopp retrospectives. At one extreme you’ve got Piers Morgan, the world’s most tedious man who, having spent the last two years crying his eyes out about how impossible it is to beat Manchester City, is now turning round and saying one Premier League title in eight years ain’t all that.
And at the other, you have the following absolute absurdity from a rather more surprising source in Rob Draper. Draper has, as all middle-aged white men are legally obliged to do, started a podcast with one of his white middle-aged mates. It’s generally an interesting enough listen with a historical bent and the obligatory whimsical in-joke name – It Was What It Was – with Jonathan Wilson.
There are worse podcasts out there in the unlikely event that what you need in your life right now is another football podcast. Their latest episode does slightly push it.
