Welcome to Liverpool, Andoni Iraola!

It makes more money and gets more views to be the negative contrarian.

Could not care less what he ā€˜thinks’.

He is pissed off his mate Alonso didn’t get it as he hoped he would have better access!

Is he ever right?

Not really, if Iraola starts well and we win the title he will probably claim he said something else.

I think the only match I saw him at any length was that one I saw in the pub in Dublin last summer. He really pissed me off. Someone else asked the barman to ā€œturn that gobshite downā€. I think this is a modern phenomenon whereby they use contrarian knobheads to create ā€œcontentā€ for their social media outlets.

I know Jimmy Hill used to wind people up, but at least he knew what he was talking about.

So he’s played alongside Alonso, Arteta and Lampard… that’s a fair chunk of next season’s PL managers!

Like a number of others I always felt Slot seemed aloof, but more importantly did not seem to have a lot of time for the young players coming through,or not under him!
Unless you want to buy a whole team,you need the lads coming through.
I feel energised by what Iraola is saying,to me he seems to get what Liverpool is,and all the signs indicate he will go down well here.

Two decent midfielders and Arteta.

Actually, when I hear the Boss say it, I hear two syllables: I hear iro / la. To my ear it sounds like he elides the a in ra and the o in ola, so it sounds like two syllables.

I just hope nobody copies Mark Goldbridge’s pronunciation of ā€˜Iriola’. That’s staring to wind me up almost as much as the English pronunciation of ā€˜karaoke’. It is not ā€˜karioki’.

Bullshit journalism. How do they know? Who did they speak to?

I can’t believe how many people are typing Iraola as Areola on social media. Is this autocorrect having its wicked way again? It just makes him sound like a bit of a tit.

Who cares as long as he delivers watchable football?

As the great Janelle Monae sings:

Sometimes I’m peachy, and sometimes I’m vulgar
Even when I’m sleeping I got one eye open
You cannot police me, so get off my areola
Get off my areola

Food for thought RW
