Honestly I still have no idea what you guys mean by 'eggs'. We colored eggs as kids, we got candy of some sort. Someone post a chart so I understand whats going on.

Large hollow egg-shaped chocolate. Sometimes with other chocolates/sweets inside

Good article by Michael Cox about Liverpool's problems

http://www.lifesapitch.co.uk/opinions/dalglishs-muddled-tactics-have-confused-liverpool/

But it’s been difficult for anyone – youngster or new arrival – to adapt to this Liverpool side, because they’re not sure what they’re adapting to. Dalglish admitted earlier in the season that Downing’s struggles were, at least in part, because he had been used in so many different positions. Dalglish is astute enough to realise that (and admit his own errors), so he must also realise that Downing’s struggles are a microcosm of his team’s.

The absence of Lucas Leiva has been punishing in so many ways, but perhaps the key was his simplicity. He was the one Liverpool player from who you knew what to expect. Deep in midfield every week, he was always available for a short pass, always on hand to break up an attack. He provided certainty in a team full of doubt.

Managers are often brought in as a response to the failings of their predecessor, and therefore strategically play the opposite type of system. Roy Hodgson’s side played with far too much structure. Dalglish’s side doesn’t have enough of it. There’s a happy medium somewhere.

For now, Liverpool remain a reactive side. They can win one-off games (this season they’ve beaten six of the seven sides currently ahead of them in the table), which explains their cup runs, but they struggle when they’re favourites and have to win the game with their natural style. The reason is obvious – it’s not clear what Liverpool’s natural style is.

And what do you do when your team is a mess? Well, I guess you can always cheer for the youngsters. A particularly bright thrashing of Villa in the reserve is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL9Jj-6LCBw - some class moments by Sterling, McLaughlin, Suso, and Eccleston. 3/4 of those have first team potential, for me.

Fun fact: the Nazis weren't keen on the whole Jesus aspect of Easter, so they renamed Easter eggs "Frühlingsschokoladenhohlkörper" which means "Spring hollow bodied chocolate egg"

Hmm. There's today's project. Learn how to pronounce "Frühlingsschokoladenhohlkörper". Shit has nothing on supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

He may be wrong but take it easy, probably accident/didn't know. edit: As I thought.

No I understand. How it could have been a mistake. But I find it kind of insulting when history is whitewashed like that. I'm not familiar with the book. But I can assure you if they did rename easter eggs it wasn't because they were against Jesus or the church. Quite the opposite.

Hard-boiled eggs or deviled eggs. Those are the eggs you eat around Easter....

Then you finish off a Cadbury egg for dessert.

Ferg says there will be significant rotation.

And this:

Reports on Valencia having surgery

“I don’t know where that story has come from – it’s never been on the agenda or discussed. He has a plate in there and at the moment it stays there. His form has been unbelievable. When you get players hitting form, their best form, at this time of the season, it’s a bonus.”

KinderSurprise only needs .5cm thick chocolate to be the best, that's how good it is.
Though I loved them much more when there was more effort/better toys. Not when you get puzzles..

edit
just to be clear, best chocolate EGG, not best chocolate.

vv that's not a funny pic :( Well at least not to me.

I love it how he stares RIGHT at the camera. Was probably saying to himself "Well, that's going to be .gif'd"

Lol, didn't notice Pappe posted it too. To be fair though I have seen Drogba and Pepe do the exact same thing(gif's are much rarer though, of course). Pretty stupid cause its useless to even look.

One can hope. I salute anyone who becomes a Villa fan right now temporary or otherwise. Outlook bleak, storms likely.

A Liverpool win is highly likely, but we are slightly better on the road than at home and its hard to see how our performances can get much worse.

The only upside is we are getting to see our academy players get more pitch time (they have to, we have no-one else).

Yea, let's get more Weimann on the pitch, did we recall Delfounseo? If not, McLeish must not like him.

And that is why we don't want Melo back.


Hey, I'm okay with that!

Don't ever buy a Jeep, unreliable and kind of pieces of shit.
