And turned into a cockney pub team by signing the likes of Ruddock and Dicks. Mind you both would probably get into their current team even if they are both in their 50's.

The wife had the 'Won't pay? We'll take it away!' episode with Ruddock and his lovely sweet tempered second wife on yesterday. Safe to say he won't play the game again.

Why not? He's kept himself in good shape!

 

[Asa's left peg]

M18CTID - someone actually sat down and did that that!( Like we'd all agree with his opinion on fouls alone). I know lockdown has been tough on some, but he's allowed to go out for a walk, surely!

Yes, if the shape is a weather balloon.

Jogi Low stepping down as German NT coach. The timing is interesting.

My feeling is that Klopp could end up walking in the summer. He's won the PL and the CL with Liverpool, his reputation is higher than when he left Dortmund, and the NT job is the one he's on record as saying he wants next.

With top 4 out of the question and the knowledge that without CL football he won't be able to refresh without selling his best players, think it makes sense for him to go even just to protect his reputation and legacy.

If they dont make Top 4 he'll be the next Germany manager i reckon. Some dippers are flapping about this , others want him to go

It's like the script is writing itself for Slippy G to return.

Who would want to be a DJ in Liverpool. They have not been able to work due to Covid, then when things open back up again, they may have to run the gauntlet of having Gerrard back in the town, with the fear of getting punched for not playing Phil Collins for him!

Even some of the posters on RAWK are calling him out on his obvious bias! I know we can all be a bit blinkered about refs and think they're against our team but if fellow Liverpool fans are even pulling him up on it then it must've been a totally one-eyed summary

The thing is, regardless of what he has achieved at Liverpool - and to be fair he's done what he promised in his first press conference when he said he'd win them the Premier League title - this run of results isn't so much as a blip as a full blown crisis which has similarities to his final season at Dortmund, and those calling for him to go do have a point. If Pep had presided over a run like that then this forum would be in total meltdown.

It truly is a staggering regression though. Nobody who predicted burnout, luck running out with injuries, etc, could've predicted a sequence of results as bad as this. United must be kicking themselves that they didn't go for it more back in January at Anfield, otherwise it could well be 7 home league defeats on the spin. I would add though that I thought they played quite well in the first half of our game there and after Gundogan missed the penalty, it was definitely in the balance at half time. Thankfully we stepped it up hugely in the second half and although they drew level, we played them off the park in the end.

Liverpool were poor again, but Friend showed a clear bias against Liverpool for the whole game. He wasn’t quite as bad in the second half.


Friends decisions didn’t lead to Liverpool losing the game, but that’s not why I recorded this. It was to see if I was imagining how bad the referees are.

Have to say we can all be sad sometimes, but to have sat and watched the game that way. No doubt having to keep pausing it does take the biscuit.
You can almost imagine him getting more and more annoyed as he went on with any semblance of impartiality disappearing after about 5minutes.

The thing is, regardless of what he has achieved at Liverpool - and to be fair he's done what he promised in his first press conference when he said he'd win them the Premier League title - this run of results isn't so much as a blip as a full blown crisis which has similarities to his final season at Dortmund, and those calling for him to go do have a point. If Pep had presided over a run like that then this forum would be in total meltdown.

It truly is a staggering regression though. Nobody who predicted burnout, luck running out with injuries, etc, could've predicted a sequence of results as bad as this. United must be kicking themselves that they didn't go for it more back in January at Anfield, otherwise it could well be 7 home league defeats on the spin. I would add though that I thought they played quite well in the first half of our game there and after Gundogan missed the penalty, it was definitely in the balance at half time. Thankfully we stepped it up hugely in the second half and although they drew level, we played them off the park in the end.

A completely mad season and series of events and it does appear that the stars are maybe aligning for him to walk away.
It would be the same for any well thought of English manger should Southgate go from his job. He has done what he said and with the downturn, a possible feeling that he isn't being supported by FSG and a desire to maybe closer to family back home. He could really be thinking about his position.
I wonder if we could steal Allardyce from WBA to save us from relegation?

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

I wonder if we could steal Allardyce from WBA to save us from relegation?

That really would be the icing on a really shit cake!

 

[aguero93:20]

I would be happy with FA cup and Thursday nights for Everton in the next few months

You haven't spent 30 years telling everyone that you're European royalty and the last 2 years telling everyone that you're going to dominate the league for a decade though I'm guessing?

 

[aguero93:20]

So, what will we have to do after the next home game against Littlewoods, when the mourners have been?

I dread to think.

Give them a stand to themselves, then torch the fucking thing and claim off the insurance.

"Do you know who i am? Ive not paid it as ive been in Brazil watching the world cup" Absolute whopper. His Mrs is mental as well

Elmore Viktor and Delroy Anglin are my favourites.

 

[Grassland Blue]

It's like the script is writing itself for Slippy G to return.

Who would want to be a DJ in Liverpool. They have not been able to work due to Covid, then when things open back up again, they may have to run the gauntlet of having Gerrard back in the town, with the fear of getting punched for not playing Phil Collins for him!

Can you feel it coming in the air tonight..?

 

[dobingsdobber]

And turned into a cockney pub team by signing the likes of Ruddock and Dicks. Mind you both would probably get into their current team even if they are both in their 50's.

With the help of some top quality engine oil they could grease Ruddock up and wedge him between the posts. They would never concede another goal.

 

[Grassland Blue]

Didn't specify League 1 League 2 or Vanarama tbf...
