I am currently reading a book that covers the history of the game in England, and it's very clear about how hard it was for black players to break into teams and how openly racist people were toward black players. It also argues that because of continued discrimination and racism toward black players, buying good black players will be a canny move for teams who want to win on a budget because those players cost less due to racism.

And I look at Liverpool, which has definitely shelled out cash, but which also gets contributions from black players who aren't the cost of VVD like Winaldjum and Origi and that they're starting an African in their front three, and who are a club that most people agree has spent cannily even for such a big club (especially compared to the cash that PSG, Man City, and Man United have thrown around at the same time) and I truly believe that someone in Liverpool's executive knows that black players and any players from the African continent who aren't white are being badly undervalued because of racism and has taken advantage of that in the last few transfer windows and in their general player recruitment.

Nah.

Madrid bout to poach Pogba and Hazard your league's two most talented players

Barca bout to retool and spend some nations gdp. Liverpool winning the finals but Liverpool are a historically strong champions league team and the current team has alot of dogs in them. These other English teams are not built for CL.
act like Liverpool isn't by far the best english team of all time in europe. when Bayern was doing great in the CL, nobody was talking about the dominant German league.


pl fanboys are bout to be on overdrive.

They don't know what's coming to them next year:wow:

When Getafe knock out Chelsea :wow:

what does Dembele have to to with this?

and tbh Neymar at 21 playing for Barca was NOT better than Dembele(21) right now
Dembele has equaled his goal tallies that season while only playing half the minutes Neymar did. most of the time not in his preferred position. lets chat about it :mjpls:

Wow, congratulations to Liverpool I thought they had no chance overturning a 3 goal deficit. Barcelona :mjlol: tell me more about the mental strength and leadership skills of the "GOAT" :umad: A Cronaldo led team would never crumble like that, surrendering a 3 goal lead. And Messi, this is the second time after Roma

That squad and their manager are extremely likeable, and I root for them most of the time.

But Liverpool's white fans are terrible, and I've done enough reading to know that they've been terrible for a long time and have a reputation for racism, violence and destruction. I bet that's what turns a lot of folks off.

(Not counting the Everton and United fans who were born hating Liverpool because it's in their DNA.)
Respect breh. In truth, as an American who didn't grow up watching football, overcoming the racism embedded in football was the biggest reason I didn't get into it. I still remember that HBO Real Sports special about racism in European football(featuring Henry I believe). But eventually the beautiful game won me over. Ironically the past 6 years I've been following hardcore, Chelsea seems to have the most racist supporters by a mile. I found that interesting because it seemed like most brehs rooted for them or Arsenal. But I can't let racists ruin sports for me. I'm sure my favorite NBA and NFL teams have tons of racists fans as well.

Y'all see VVD touch before messi nearly pulled the trigger. Dude is the best defender alive. He deserves the ballon d'or.

Guy is an insane football talent, he can do anything he feels like on the pitch.

He is so skilled and intelligent with the ball he could double as the best centre half and best attacking mid on Scotland. He’s seriously fukking incredible and epitomises the Dutch “total football” philosophy.

Honestly Celtic fans still talk about him even though he was only here a short time and we miss him. Man is a football genius up there with Messi. :mjcry:
