I think he's dyed his hair. Noticeably less gray this season. That and he's lost a few pounds again, fuckers got that extra yard of pace he had at the start of last season. Himself and Sterling are definitely in the 'keep it up this season you cunts' group.He actually looks younger this year than he did then!
I'm more worried about the other JoDoes anyone know if Joe will be definitively cup tied if he plays tomorrow? Some seem to think yes and others say no.
My understanding is he won't, a new squad list is submitted after the qualifiers. Clean slate so to speak.Does anyone know if Joe will be definitively cup tied if he plays tomorrow? Some seem to think yes and others say no.

Cheers! I expect he will get his swan song tomorrow then.100% not cup tied.

As a rule, a player may not play in a UEFA club competition (i.e. UEFA Champions
League and UEFA Europa League, but not UEFA Super Cup) for more than one
club in the course of the same season. Exceptionally, however, a player who has
been fielded in the first, second, third qualifying round or the play-offs of the
UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League is entitled to play in the UEFA
Champions League or UEFA Europa League for another club as from the group
stage. Moreover, as from the start of the round of 16, a player can be registered in
accordance with Paragraph 44.01to Paragraph 44.04. A substitute player who has
not been fielded is entitled to play for another club competing in the UEFA
Champions League or UEFA Europa League in the course of the same season,
provided that he is registered with the UEFA administration in accordance with
the present regulations.

I take that back then...No fucking way he allows himself to be played IMO then.According to this article, Joe would be cup-tied to our squad if he plays tomorrow and we then move on to the group stages.
Christ if that is right we don't want Joe playing tomorrow if he wants CL football at his next club. Didn't know that I thought there was a new list following qualifiers and that's it. Thanks for sharing that. I hope our admins have their shit together and we don't fuck up any interest in Joe as I don't think it will help for this to drag on.According to this article, Joe would be cup-tied to our squad if he plays tomorrow and we then move on to the group stages.
After looking into this some more, I think that the referenced article is out of date - I don't think he is cup-tied per current rules.I take that back then...No fucking way he allows himself to be played IMO then.
