Omicron is the weakest of all the variants and has killed one 86 year old who had underlying heart conditions so yeah at the moment with omicron its pure scaremongering. Even south Africa who had it first can't believe uk hysteria I can cos we are the most gullable people in Europe.

Think it’s more to do with the people who work in hospitals firefighters police with how easier you can catch the new variant they won’t have enough people to work if they are all isolating.

Quick Gomorrah interlude

1-4, sterling hat trick, which prompts an £80m bid in 2 weeks (:

I think clubs are desperate for this two week break except for the red scouse

Yeah, strange really. On the other hand it's probably because Klopp knows that his high octane brand of football relies heavily on momentum. At the moment they've got it so there's no way he'll want a pause in proceedings. Trouble for them is that City have got momentum too and the dippers have got to play us at our place.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Be good to play them before they strengthen in January.

Anytime is a good time to play them they are shit. January/February Eddie Howe is going to squander millions like he did at Bournemouth...Loads of new faces will take time to gel. They are going down.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Come on City dont fuck this up please

Liverpool will just want to delay it a little bit. Then when Salah and Mané go off to the AFCON, they’ll suddenly demand a break, which they’ll probably get since they wear red. Then their African players don’t really miss too much. They don’t want a break right now, but they will in 2 weeks.

Find it really weird people actually think Sterling would have any interest in going to Newcastle.

I said ‘bid’ if you missed it

We have a good momentum. That’s why I don’t hope the game will be postponed. We can miss a few though. Others find that more difficult.

And hopefully we are extra motivated to show Newcastle they have some way to go to think about a top 4 finish. Although they will get there at one point.

It's bizarre because when do they think the games will be played.

It's hardly a secret a lot of Foreign Managers are not keen on the Christmas packed fixture schedule.
