Our 'local' rival is Exeter City. I never want them relegated as it's more fun to play them in the league. 

Thats fine but if Everton went down they would come back, its not like the Merseyside Derby would be gone forever, I just like the thought of their first game in a new stadium being against Barnsley or Millwall

Won’t be Barnsley as they are league one.  Unless you can see a double relegation.

I got it wrong anyway, their new stadium is for 24/25 apparently, their last ever game at Goodison being Rotherham on a Tuesday will do instead

Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear me. 

 

I hope their last game there is against your shower of non-Scousers.

Do you not like Liverpool, baldy? They’re the most successful team in England, so I guess it’s a jealously thing.

That would be highly unlikely; the second Merseyside derby of the season is usually played by March, pending postponements due to FA Cup commitments, or inadvertent weather. Furthermore, were a derby to be played that late in the season there’s a fair chance that Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones would both start anyway, as the current Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is vocal about local lads starting such games, and would be keen to help maintain a Scouse-element that’s been present in the Liverpool side, including players such as Robbie Fowler, Steven Gerrard, Phil Neale, Phil Thompson, Ray Clemence, Alan Kennedy, Terry McDermott and many more.

 

There are rare occasions when a Liverpudlian doesn’t start for Liverpool in a derby, as happened in 2015 (a 1-1 draw), but that was the first time since the 1986 FA Cup final, where Liverpool triumphed 3-1, and may have triggered gloating in playgrounds from the Wirral to the West Country.

 

Of course, if you’re trying some odd point-scoring and referring to Liverpool’s non-Scouse fanbase, the out-of-towners would still be overwhelming outnumbered by locally born fans on a match day, as anyone who has been to Anfield for a game of football can attest. Amazingly, historically successful clubs such Liverpool, Manchester United and many others throughout England’s divisions have attracted supporters from across the globe thanks to technology such as televisions, which display games on a weekly basis throughout a league campaign. Tottenham Hotspur, lovingly referred to as “Spurs” by some, draw a strong contingent of supporters from the US, with regional supporters clubs across the States. Even Everton, the self-styled “Peoples’ Club” of the city of Liverpool maintain international fan clubs in Nebraska, Nevada and North Carolina, and lots of other states that don’t begin with the letter ‘n’.

That Ronaldo interview really does confirm his status as the games’ biggest weirdo. His ego has painted him into a corner where he there’s no viable exit and now he’s acting like some good will ambassador for Manchester United. Oooh, it’s terrible here, even Sir Alex agrees with me. He wouldn’t say it out loud to you but that’s definitely what he thinks. What else can I say people won’t like? Your best ever player is bald and he let himself go?

He really is sullying his legacy. People will remember this shit if he ends his career with it.

There was some weird stupid interview and someone on reddit said he reminds him of Patrick Bateman and that comparison and this thread still cracks me up https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/ep0i2i/as_cristiano_ronaldo_daily_routine_five_naps_eats/feg9c1v/

This is either going to mean Argentina/Messi win the World Cup with Portugal going out in the group stage

 

OR

 

Portugal win it or at least get to final 4 with Ronaldo getting the golden boot, but also being an absolute twat all tournament getting players sent off and spoiling the odd giant killing with last minute goals.

It would not surprise me if he decides to announce his retirement the moment Portugal get knocked out in the second round.

 

Also, it took less than six months to go from "I want to leave because I need Champions League football" to "They are trying to force me out".  The latter might be true, but Ronaldo has spent the first half of the season making sure he is fit enough to play in the World Cup, so *shrugs*.

Some of those make more sense when you see how it works with the rest of their visual identity. It’s not there, but the AC Milan one for instance will be used as a case study in design education for a long time I’d imagine. It’s incredible. The most difficult part of delivering something different is the public will immediately say the logo is shit (new) and therefore it was a disgrace someone spent money changing it. The London 2012 one was a good example. That all looked stunning in application but the logo was weird so I don’t like it. 
 

The big problem with crests is they reproduced horribly in digital applications as they’re so fiddly and detailed. They’re all an improvement, bar the West Ham one which is horrendous.
