Liverpool Thread | 2025/26

I can't wait for the "crisis talks" followed by a whole slew of carefully planted stories across the tabloids about how they've kissed and made up, because Liverpool is such a special club (right before one of them is jettisoned at the end of the season).

He's scored 54 penalties in his career, but the record books don't distinguish which ones were from an obvious dive, alas.

Probably 95% of them.

you're all ready getting he should be dropped mob back tracking

Given that was before the 'birth of football' and was not a cup final, 'a peak British television audience of over 12 million' really was something else, especially as the population in 1989 was around 47.5 million.

As if 12 million scousers had a telly in 1989.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Alonso already preparing his CV.

He’s shite as well.

They had everyone else's telly as well, remember.

 

[RodneyRodney]

As if 12 million scousers had a telly that they legally owned in 1989.

You missed out a couple of words. Fixed. Cheers

Rather than a Whodunnit it would be a Itwasntmyfault…

Shaggy…… “it wasn’t me.”

BBC are pushing Wayne Rooney's view on things. I can't fathom for the life of me who in the world is asking what Wazzock thinks of all this. Seems to be an awful lot of emphasis being put on his input by the BBC recently.

 

[Roachy]

Let's hope this leads to more upheaval and discontent creating loads of poor performances and results.

 

[Gingers Dad]

Well they thought 56m for Nunez was fine

Would like to see the runners-up bid

He is one of footballs great minds

The problem with Salah spitting his dummy is Al Hilal (and possibly other Saudi teams) are desperate for a high profile middle-eastern (or north-east African) player and will pay stupid money to get him.

 

[TinFoilHat]

The best man to replace Slot.

An enigma wrapped in a conundrum, placed in a bowl with a Weetabix on top.

They had been supposed to meet earlier but circumstances dictated its postponement.

Yep. Was scheduled for Sunday April 23rd 1989 live on ITV so it wasn’t originally supposed to be the last league game of the season.

 

[waspish]

Thing is if salah don’t ask to go Liverpool will have to honour his contract which is around 50/60m left of it! So if any Saudi team offers 100m for me that is dodgy! 50m probably be about right

Plus all that Coutinho money as well....

Enjoying this new addition to the Liverpool shit show.

Funny really as he has been way out of form, unrecognisable this season really so Slot is more than justified in his decision to leave him on the bench.

Best of all though is the manner in how this has gone down. Embarrassing carry on from Salah acting like a spoiled child. There’s no way those comments should have been shared publicly like that it’s just really really poor from him.

Pretty much my thoughts although it has to be said we don't know how Slot has handled it.
