Living in the past glories of Toxteth 1981 ?

Had the misfortune to go to dipperland on rugby tour years ago.Played New Brighton and stayed near toxteth I think.seem to remember a pub or club that was an old church building and was not a trip to be remembered fondly

Obviously it’s the usual engagement bait, but the fact that VVD is even in that jumbled graphic perfectly encompasses the Liverpool sycophancy.

Where’s Mike Doyle?

Requires far too much football history knowledge for Goal.

What a load of bollocks - just because they share a shirt number, is Fabregas better than Kompany because he played in midfield or could Fabregas play better than Vinnie in the back four - as I said earlier... bollocks.

It’s bollocks on so many levels.

It’s an example of the worst parts of what I like to call our current “Context-less, Fact-less Era”. It’s just meant to spark “engagement”—not real discussion or assessment, just people shouting in to the ether.

Off Topic!!

How do you know my nickname at university?

 

[Machiavelli]

Fucking Veron, in a rag shirt?

 

[Metalartin]

He's a good player but the hype for VVD is getting a bit much.



Bearing in mind Kompany missed 7 games that season and VVD hasn't missed any yet.

Player Comparison

I reckon he will compare much worse to the Chelsea and United title winning teams who were built on solid defences rather than attacking football. Terry, Vidic, Stam ect.

Luis Saurez says VVD is so good he would love to play him every week

Player Comparison

Highlighting the "better" stat in red.
Including VVD's 1 error leading to a goal.
Compared to Vinny's zero.
And Vinny's one own goal to VVD's zero.
Done by someone bunking off school, junior school.
Pathetic.

Nah that's just how the PL player comparison works, I made that comparison... he basically said in the tweet I posted: "name me a better CB in PL history, I'll wait", in the history of the PL he says?

In terms of actual defensive contributions Kompany is way out in front(bar aerial duels) in that comparison, with 5 fewer games. Compare him to some of Terry, Vidic and so on's best seasons and he gets nowhere near them.

 

[skiddypants]

Steph Houghton is better.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Phil Jones has more winners medals than him.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Where’s Mike Doyle?

His place is taken by the Veron that graced Old Trafford obviously........

 

[Ancient Citizen]

NBCSN have just shown an interview with Arlo White and Virgil van Dijk where vD is talking about going again next year if they win nothing this season. He didn’t seem confident when talking about winning anything this season.

Where's he going again, back to Southampton?
