I get it, but to compare the % of a team of professional footballers "with asthma" from all over the world...to the UK average % is a bit disingenuous?

Because it's easier watching somebody talking about the match on a screen and then have somebody telling everybody who isnt at or watching the match what is going on at the match that they should be watching, on the screen. Apparently !!!!

Where would you place Pochetino and Tuchel.
I rank Pochetino higher than Klopp Tuchel about the same as him.
Viera and Lampard will be up there too in the not too distant future.

I dislike Klopp but he is miles above the people listed there. Lampard will never get to his level as a coach either IMO.

Would be nice to think something will come of this, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Yes I know, but I was being serious.

See Jürgen when you come out of your Liverpool media loving bubble you realise everyone else fucking hates you.
Jurgen Klopp moans at Wolves fans for taunting Liverpool at Anfield
Wolves fans also started a false rumour that Villa had made it 3-3, leading Liverpool supporters to start cheering and hugging each other, believing an unlikely turnaround was complete.www.dailymail.co.uk
awwww diddums ...... he really doesn't believe that they are not universally loved does he?

That Jamie Phillips clearly thinks he's Paul Merson the clown. The Irish man child is the funniest and saddest, I've seen him before
That's the problem at being surrounded by arse lickers like the media they've even convinced that idiot everybody loves them.
I am sure that football is nowhere near squeaky clean, but I've posted before that it all goes back to one article by an author who is based in Russia, who maybe isn't the most legit source. The last update to his wiki page is when he tweeted the pro-Russia conspiracy theory about the "fake" bombing of the Ukrainian maternity hospital.
He's written articles diminishing Russian doping, while making big claims about how much doping there is in other countries. Now he may well have the best contacts at Liverpool, but we have no way of knowing. What we do know is that it benefits Russia's efforts to cheat in sport by having rumours that "everyone is at it" circulating.
Near the start of the video linked to, the vlogger quotes a "Fact Check" of the original article.
"However, there has been no definitive proof that the above is true. Yet at no point has there ever been reports to suggest that the above is incorrect."
So, we can make any old shit up, and so long as no-one comes out and disproves it, then it passes the Fact Check?
Here's a link to the author of the original article, and the original article that appears to have started this rumour:
en.wikipedia.org
backpagefootball.com
I'd have a read of his wiki page and then make up your own mind about how likely this it so be true.

Shocking video that. It would be pretty conclusive evidence that they are bona fide cheats if there is documentation to back it up. Anyone seen the der speigel hacks lately?

It's fun to take the piss out of them for this, but I've still never seen any reliable evidence for the 63% have asthma claim. AFAIK, it's entirely based on a single blog that has no real credibility or sources for the claims.
It's also worth mentioning that elite athletes do have asthma at a higher rate than the general population, because exercise-induced asthma is a thing, and swimmers are the most likely to have it because of the large amounts of time in a chlorinated environment. Now obviously the accusation would be that elite athletes are more likely to be diagnosed with it as a way of cheating, but as I understand it, it has been independently studied (rather than just self-reported) and it is true that athletes are more likely to genuinely have it. 63% would of course be very suspicious, but I have no real reason to believe that that figure is true.

This is Liverpool we are talking about. If it wasn't true, they would imho have their paid hacks rubbishing the rumours, or claiming to be victimised by the rumours. Their silence is deafening and illuminating.
