Cracking things
Penny for the thoughts of the Daily mail football journalists desperately trying to tell Liverpool this week that this headline …
Is Jurgen Klopp laughing? The Liverpool manager says he is’ calm ‘about being left behind by Chelsea and Man City in the transfer market … but his body language shows signs of pent-up aggression, anger and defensive attitude.’
… should be ignored as the work of a completely different entity than the Daily Mail despite, well, the actual URL starting with the words https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football.
The headline was later changed to this, presumably after a little panic …
Is Jurgen Klopp REALLY ‘calm’ about lack of transfers? The Liverpool manager claims he’s relaxed from being left behind by Chelsea and City in the transfer market … but his body language shows signs of pent-up aggression, anger and defensive attitude. ‘
But is Klopp ‘laughing’? Well, according to body language expert Judi James:
Swinging in a chair like Klopp does here will give the impression of anxiety or impatience and when talking about transfers from other teams, Klopp changes from his normal friendly smile, showing his perfect upper teeth, to showing his lower teeth.
‘That sounds like a gesture of repressed aggression or confrontation, suggesting that despite the verbal messages of’ no problem ‘, maybe he’s sitting on some resentment or anger.’
‘Give the impression’. ‘It seems’. ‘Suggestion’. ‘Maybe’.
Judi James should switch to writing transfer gossip because it looks like Jurgen Klopp is getting close to laughing.
CAPITAL things
But maybe there was no panic at all about describing Jurgen Klopp as ‘laughing’, and the headline was simply changed because some fool forgot all caps. Never forget capital letters.
A good example of the genre can be found above Online MailThe soccer site at 12pm on Thursday:
The £ 26 million ‘Leeds’ forward who could stun Liverpool, Timo Werner leading the Chelsea revolution and a familiar face lining up for Arsenal … star signings you MUST see in the Premier League this weekend ‘
Don’t we have a CHOICE?
Naughty proper
Mediawatch agrees with The suns Dave Kidd said England need “bold footballers” and that Phil Foden and Mason Greenwood should eventually return to the fold, though whether Gareth Southgate really needs “proper little scoundrels” is up for debate. The idea that every talented footballer is naughty sounds a bit dated in the era of Lionel Messi as a) the best footballer in the real world and b) incredibly boring.
Unsurprisingly, Kidd dates back to 1996 and Paul Gascoigne, writing:
What if Terry Venables, the predecessor Southgate admires the most, had erred on the side of caution and hadn’t selected Gazza for Euro 96?
“Maybe he got it out after that antics in the Hong Kong dentist chair?”
“There would have been no player from England with the gall to imagine taking a shot at the Premier League-winning central midfielder, turning, coming home and putting on a magnificent goal celebration, all without breaking stride.”
What if indeed? Wouldn’t England have reached the semi-finals of a European Championship at home?
Now if we could only think of a recent example of England surpassing that achievement without any footballer showing reckless behavior …
It’s so funny how we don’t talk anymore …
On the subject of Mason Greenwood, Kidd’s Sun His colleague Martin Blackburn tells us that he will “hold talks with Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.” Does anyone else miss the days when people just talked?
Goodbye title, title goodbye …
At Daily mirrorGary Neville’s quotes about Manchester United appear on the last page, although he does not “warn” at all that Manchester United “will lag further behind Liverpool and Manchester City” at all; it just says quite rightly that they won’t close a 33-point gap unless they sign.
But it is the headline of p. 56 what made us laugh …
‘Goodbye title if Ole can’t buy’
They finished 33 points behind Liverpool; Even the most one-eyed Manchester United fan doesn’t think he’s about to win the damn title. What fool would ever think that?
Do you take drugs? Does your daddy cry?
Obviously, by the time Gary Neville has passed through the Mirror click on the machine, we get here:
‘Gary Neville makes controversial Man Utd and Liverpool claim in Premier League prediction’
And apparently, “he has given his verdict on which teams will finish in the Champions League places this season, and his predictions are sure to surprise.”
Or they would if he was being serious. The man literally said these words: “Can you go after I don’t really believe this, but this is what I want? I will go to City, United, Liverpool, Chelsea ”.
No, Gary, you can’t say that anywhere near the headline because no one would “raise their eyebrows” at a prediction that is not actually a prediction.
Do you have to let it delay?
In another part of the Mirror website, this is an extraordinary title:
‘Man Utd makes breakthrough in Jadon Sancho transfer negotiations, but problem persists’
‘Persistent problem’? A lingering issue would be a dispute over a jersey number or whether he can charter a private jet in time to debut next week.
A ‘persistent problem’ is not a total lack of agreement between the two clubs involved in the transfer, without which absolutely anything can happen.
