Liverpool thread 2019/20

[Ric]

I wonder what it was that prompted you to join just now, rather than for instance any point in the last 30 years.

To be fair, the internet was just a pipe dream last time they won the title.

Our success, of course ;)

I think he was asking a rhetorical question there Copper. We all know why you’re here, it happened in 2014 and 2018 when you had an unassailable lead, there was a mass exodus when you bottled it both times. My favourite moment was the Stevie Me slip, apparently he still hasn’t got over it, which is a real shame.
So, welcome to the forum, I don’t think even liverpool can slip up this time.
Don’t judge us too harshly if we are a bit hostile, there are many on here who think you’re just here to gloat, which let’s face it you almost certainly are.
By the way, there is no point in trying to persuade us that you don’t get favoured by the refs, we may see every game through a blue tint but we’re not stupid.

I was just a pipe dream...just a different sort of pipe

I see the owners of Boston Red Socks and also Littlewoods have sacked their manager for cheating,wonder if Littlewoods cheat.

Baseball - but related to Liverpool as it is the Boston Rag Sox.
Sacked their coach for cheating (when assistant coach at Houston who won the title in 2017) but the Rag Sox are also under investigation for their title winning 2018 season when he was coach there.
Seems that the Fenway Group likes its teams to cheat their way to titles....

Surely sacking him implies that FSG don't condone cheating?

Or want to minimise a penalty imposed on the club when caught.

Oh yes, of course, I forgot that anything and everything to do with Liverpool just has to be shady.

Ha, that’s certainly one way of looking at it. Add the hacking of our scouting database to the picture though and it suggests it’s systemic with FSG.

You learn fast my friend.... You will do well here ;)

That has yet to reach a verdict ;) As far as I am aware, Liverpool "made the payment without the club or any of the individuals accepting any liability or wrongdoing, with the allegations never tested in court". There could be many, many reasons for this, even innocent reasons.

However, if it does go to court, etc and it is proven, then I'm not going to be impressed.

Thanks for your input Marshall.....

I thought we were on the charm offensive to all of our visitors from down the M62?

Don't veer from the script Ric ;-)

Not sure asking people just to be civil equates to a charm offensive tbf.

 

[waspish]

Henderson won the best English player award yesterday. If that doesn't show just how cock-eyed this footballing bubble is then I don't know.

So you think Liverpool would give a whopping million quid to a rival club on the basis that it doesnt mean quilt or liability?

"We didnt do anyrhing wrong at all. But here you go, here is £1m......"

Settling out of court in most cases presumes guilt of sorts doesn't it? Liverpool doing it the Liverpool way again.
