[News] Caribou Cup Final

[crodonilson]

Always one of the showpiece occasions in English football. As every football fan is I'm very much anticipating a great spectacle tomorrow. Very much in the pro Liverpool camp after the disgraceful affairs of the week in relation to Ukraine but Chelsea fans seem steadfast behind their owner.

I feel there is very little evidence that Roman Abramovich is some kind of pro-Putin Russian ultra-nationalist. During Covid, Abramovich opened up his hotels to house NHS staff while Liverpool put people on furlough. Once again not buying into the Good vs Evil bollocks.

I love to see Thomas Tuchel cry however so for that (and only that) reason I hope Liverpool win... not sure I'll watch the game though, it might collide with whatever I'll be doing instead.

Buy the Daily Star on Sunday tomorrow, cut out the free £5 bet at PaddyPower (can be used on the Final only), bin the rest of the paper.

You really need to be put on a constant fact check on here.

Liverpool planned to do it for the club store staff (whilst paying the shortfall so no-one was out of pocket) but reversed the decision soon after.

It never happened.

You are right that they reversed the decision when people got angry about them being greedy. They made the decision in the first place, however, and it was not only club store staff.

A club making a £40m profit a month later wanted to use government money (a.k.a. your money) to save £1.5m.

Not sure why you are looking for ways to defend or justify that.

Now you've googled it....

Clearly not defending anything, just fact checking you. You claimed Liverpool staff were placed on furlough.

They weren't. It isn't true. You posted it.

Ok, lets change "Liverpool put people on furlough" to "Liverpool made a decision to put people on furlough" then so you can sleep without nightmares then.

You really do live in a deluded world of posting total inaccuracies and then when called out try very hard to back track by rewording them and it appears you do this on quite a few threads.

Even if Liverpool reversed the decision a lot of people here agreed, at the time, that it was poor from them to decide (which was then reversed, lets make it clear that this is understood) to put people on furlough from the beginning.

This error from me is not what your comments are about though... you're just upset that I don't share Nazi attitudes towards every person with Russian nationality.

Christ, everyone's a bit tetchy this morning?

He may not be an ultra nationalist, but the UK Government has already identified Abramovich as being connected to the Russian state, and guilty of corruption. Difficult to defend him at the moment.

Then he and all wealthy Russians should come out and condemn the Russian Government actions.

At this moment in time only Russians with power and wealth can halt what is going on.

Sure and all the wealthy British should have come out and condemned the Iraq war. But they didnt.

This doesnt mean that they are pro-whateverishappening. I dont think there's a lot of altruistic selfless billionaires out there, very few of them would put their wealth and life at risk through making very powerful enemies.

Let's get back on topic of one of the showpiece occasions in the British football calendar. Dave at the Ship has got a special offer on of 10% off Carlsberg if Liverpool score the first goal. Atmosphere is building nicely, a real sense of anticipation.

Why are you interested in furlough in the UK ? You claim to live in Sweden.

I'm interested in most things.

But not the truth according to some responses to your posts.

I don't disagree - but two wrongs don't make a " right "

What a total gasbag you are, going on and on, in every thread, posting your self righteous nonsense, always wanting the last word, you are right , everyone else is a moron - like you have never been a hypocrite in your ****ing life!! I bet you are a hypocrite though, as we all are at times, because it is an inevitable part of human nature... but boy you do go on about it. If you do come to the UK I hope you lower your expectations because otherwise your verbal diarrhea on here will be unbearable.
