Sorry for another Trent post but just had to get this out.
Who the f*** is feeding his delusions of a Balon D'or?
If he can't be the best player at Liverpool, then how is he going to be the best player at Real Madrid let alone in the world?
Or has been waiting for his Los Blancos contract before taking his game to a new level?
There is so much that is off about what he has done. He used to sell so much narrative about his loyalty to Liverpool but he was only loyal to Klopp. He is spineless, and that's fundamentally why it's created this reaction.
09 May 2025 07:20:26
I think you may need to go find a tree to hug.
Whatever his motives are, he’s human and things can change.
Klopp signed a contract, changed his mind to leave early and apparently got paid out to the end of his deal.
Each situation is different and I just think trying to psychoanalyse it all is unhealthy. You just end up making your own story of the “why” and then it gets nasty.
09 May 2025 08:15:04
He wasnt loyal to anyone. People usually shy away from leaving their comfort zone and here Trent is urging for a move. The guy is chasing FAME and MONEY. this whole "New challenge" is such a cliche. what exaclty would he face there? A Volleyball to kick.
09 May 2025 08:22:06
He’s below average at everything with a world class right foot.
09 May 2025 08:25:54
Why so butthurt House?
09 May 2025 08:34:13
Faithinworks you aren't the voice of reason you think you are.
Until Trent is officially gone the fanbase will continue giving their thoughts, as they have every right to. Fans build attachments with players, that's why they sing their songs and paint their murals.
He's also fair game to be psychoanalysed after he cupped his ear to the away fans like a little pr*t.
Changing your mind and being spineless are separate things.
{Ed025's Note - but we dont want to see hatred and abuse to a player do we Nick?. players move on thats just a fact of life mate, i hope he doesn,t get booed if he plays in the last few games or at the parade that would be a real shame..
09 May 2025 08:34:24
Football is a career to these guys. And its a really short career as well. what's wrong with them chasing more money and new challenges?
09 May 2025 08:40:51
I'm sorry but everyone who keeps picking and bashing at Trent like this is pathetic and needs to go touch grass go spend time with your loved ones it's not that serious.
{Ed025's Note - im with you Kloppers, lets just move on..
09 May 2025 08:50:33
@Haizan
It is also one of the highest paid job in the world. you sound like the guy would retire as a begger if he didn't move to Real Madrid. He has already made more money than all of us combined. I am not arsed by his move, knew the moment he went into the bibernation mode. I hope he flops there.
09 May 2025 08:58:40
Ed025 with respect that's a very tone-deaf read of the room.
Trent has trated an adoring fanbase with contempt. That's just a fact. The Anfield Wrap and Redmen TV are pretty level headed and even many of them are pretty angry with Trent.
Players moving on is part of football, but don't pretend that fan emotion isn't either.
{Ed025's Note - of course there is emotion Nick and i will have that, but lets not hate the guy for wanting to move on and change his lifestyle, disappointing yes but its not the end of the world mate..
09 May 2025 09:05:01
Can we all just stop bleating on about TAA now please? He's gone. Remember what he did for us and let's look to the future.
He hasn't done the dirty on us. He's just making his own life better. If that upsets you, maybe footie isn't for you.
{Ed025's Note - amen to that mate..
09 May 2025 09:06:43
Kloppers you're telling people to touch grass as you spend your own time on a Liverpool pub chat internet forum, have a bit more self awareness. It's a big current talking point whether you like it or not. Trent has handled the entire situation poorly, including the timing of his announcement. You could even argue he's treated the fans with contempt. If you don't like it then keep scrolling.
09 May 2025 09:12:23
From what I've seen and heard, this Trent hatred is starting to snowball. be interesting to see what the Arsenal game will be like.
09 May 2025 09:46:23
I find it so hilarious that some people love telling others how to feel and think like they are all knowing higher beings, get off your high horse, a wise man said a man who thinks he knows all knows nothing. i want to thank Trent for playing his part in our sucsess lately. Other than that he can sod off really.
09 May 2025 09:52:13
not the same Nick I come here to read rumors get a potential insight, not post and bash every single day about a player leaving.
09 May 2025 09:57:29
Yeah amen to that Slots Barber. Trent made his bed so he can damn well lie in it. If you aren't bothered by Trent's exit it doesn't mean everyone else has to feel the same way. I don't personally don't hate Michael Owen but I'm not going to tell everyone else not to hate him either.
People also forget that the situation is still unfolding, Madrid want him to get an early release. But nah let's all touch grass and hug trees so we don't hurt Twent's feelings. F**kkkkkk off.
09 May 2025 09:32:03
Ed002 where am I hating the guy? I don't hate Trent but as a fan I'm entitled to feel bitterly disappointed with him, just as Liverpool fans feel entitled to hate Michael Owen because he moved to Man United for career purposes. What about Arsenal fans, are they out of order for hating Ashley Cole?
Football players are not 9 to 5 slaves, they're multimillionaire with more privileges inside 10 to 15 years than most people get in a lifetime. This is the game they've chosen to play both on and off the field. If fans want to have at it with Trent then let them mate.
{Ed025's Note - i get the disappointment Nick but crap happens and we move on, holding grudges is not healthy mate so for me we draw a line under it and look forward to the next chapter..by the way im ED025...and will never be ED002..only in my dreams.. :)
09 May 2025 09:59:50
The vitriol is pathetic. “Grown” people falling over themselves to take offence at an insult that exists only in their heads. A bloke does a job - a very well paid job, as if that is TAA’s fault - and leaves to do the job somewhere else and whole heaps of sad sacks automatically assume that it is personal and that the life choice the player is making is specifically to hurt them and their feelings. The feeling of entitlement that the person played any part whatsoever in the player’s decision making speaks volumes about the state of society in the ‘social media ‘ age.
09 May 2025 10:01:52
Fonz if you hate emotion then football isn't for you.
09 May 2025 10:02:37
Trent, Jude and Real can get stuffed as far as I am concerned.
09 May 2025 10:07:06
Or just keep scrolling Kloppers, you're not entitled to like everything you read on the internet.
09 May 2025 10:11:19
It’s left a sour taste but I’m fresh out of Fuchs, if I’m being honest ( and petty ) I hope it goes tits up for him.
09 May 2025 10:28:27
Yeah next time you all go off your nut for a goal, just remember it's only a bunch of blokes doing a job.
09 May 2025 11:33:22
The overreaction is wild ? - it’s over, we won the league, and some people are still acting like Trent ran over their childhood dreams with a team bus. He's not losing sleep over your emotional trauma. Take a deep breath and try processing a football player leaving without writing a Shakespearean tragedy about it.
09 May 2025 11:58:14
Hey Salah, what's your thoughts on Michael Owen?
09 May 2025 12:34:48
What's Owen got to do with it, Nick?
09 May 2025 13:54:28
Let's remember that Trent gave his all to Liverpool over his 20 years. err, except a transfer fee which could have helped his boyhood club move forward.
09 May 2025 13:58:54
Personally I’m glad Trent’s gone.
That swagger was getting way too much for me to watch!
Let’s get behind the players who want to play for Liverpooll… and forget the ones who don’t .
09 May 2025 14:20:04
So Slots says he's not here to tell the fans how to react yet so many posters on here seem to think it's OK that they should tell others how to react to Trent leaving.
That people have an opinion about us – if it’s Trent or me, or someone else who works in this industry – that’s not new for anyone.
“Probably it’s a bit more for him now than he’s used to and maybe a bit more negative than he’s used to.
“But I don’t follow all of this. I’m not here to tell the fans how they should react.
“I will see Trent in a bit and the boys had a few days off as well, so I will wait and see how he feels about him announcing that he’s going to leave the club. I did speak to him on WhatsApp. But let’s wait and see.
“But I am not here to tell the fans how they should react.
09 May 2025 20:17:00
I don’t care if the club brings in money for Trent, it doesn’t affect me, it affects the owners.
There have been plenty of free signings who have played for Liverpool. Why is Trent being singled out for hatred. It’s hypocritical.
He’s been a legend for this club, won everything. Remember the good times, the corner for Big Div to knock out Barcelona? Crucial in winning the CL for Klopp’s team.
He’s never disrespected the fans, he’s never deceived us like Owen did.
Honestly I’m thankful for the great times we celebrated with him in the team and I wish him well. I also hope he gets a great reception in Liverpool, he brought us lots of joy.
09 May 2025 10:42:10
Some people are carrying on like Trent is a people trafficker or richer than Croesus.
He is a footballer. It is a game. With a long retirement ahead of him, you can never be too prudent and say “I have enough money”.
And damning a player for having targets and aspirations? You’re sitting at home posting on an internet forum, just like me, not a life coach that Trent is going to listen to.
Move forward. Liverpool football club will. We always do. YNWA …. Oh and we are the Premier League Champions! Never gets old. Sorry Ed25, noisy neighbours and all that!
{Ed025's Note - you have a lot to be noisy about StEA..
09 May 2025 14:52:14
Ed025.I think trent deserves a lot more than what's happening to him. i think he is that detached he's not arsed anyway. as for teams giving abuse to players n taking the high ground . remember Nick Barmby. but at least you got a decent fee for him.
{Ed025's Note - i think people are taking it too personally Strom, its just a guy changing his job for me mate..
10 May 2025 08:15:28
F**king crikey, the Trent simping has caught me a bit off guard.
Ron - don't be silly man. Trent did deceive the fans, hence the backlash. He's a Liveroool legend as much as Ashley Cole is an Arsenal legend.
Salah - I mentioned Owen because you're all cognitively dissonant hypocrites simping for Trent.
Why?
*Owen (from Cheshire btw) signs for Man Utd for career reasons*
You lot, invariably: "nope, doesn't matter Michael, you've betrayed us and you're a rat".
*Trent (a local lad) runs down his contract for years to sign for Real fkn Madrid in his prime, gives lip service about what the club means to him, future fakes about succeeding Stevie G, insults the fans at West Ham, lies about his reasons for leaving, etc etc*
You lot: "wow, what an overreaction Nick. Touch some grass will you, he's just a professional leaving his job for a new better job. It's his career, so leave him alone! "
And just further to my point Salah, if you think Trent isn't losing any sleep over this then you're only helping my argument.
In this little echo chamber you might think the fans are OK with this, but they're not. The fact everyone's worried about the mood and vibes if he gets subbed on, and if he's present during the trophy parade, is just proof of this.
So quit pretending you're all Zen and enlightened fans, you aren't.
10 May 2025 18:13:52
100% spot on Nick.
