Hell yeah, that's the non-lazy way to go about it I was thinking about as I typed that post.
Unfortunately none of my friends are Porto fans so I can't really gloat when we win that game too

Well, it's been a great day for results today. Now we just need to beat Wolves Wednesday night, win our match against Chelsea and we're pretty much guaranteed a top 4 spot. I can't believe we may get away with this shit bag of a year and not lose our champions league spot. Arsene Wenger has gotten a away with one here but pleade correct the issue for next season.
I prefer to eat leftover pizza straight from the fridge, no reheating. It's not nicer than when it's hot, but it's better cold than when it's reheated.How do you guys feel about cold pizza? As in letting it cool off and then eating it the next morning?
I love to do this (I dont get to do it anymore with my weight
I venture that it may even be nicer than hot pizza.
Note: I do often choose to leave the crust since it can become rock solid
With the exception of Wolves and Blackburn, pretty much every team has given rough games this year. It's been very exciting since every weekend can bring an interesting result. Even Bolton and Wigan have stepped up their level, and the top teams can't simply expect an easy fixture anymore, period. It's been especially delightful having Norwich and Swansea around.
Looking forward to Swansea in Fifa 13. Should be a cracking 4-star team.

You should be ashamed of yourselves.
All Americans like cold pizza. You guys need to pick up on this. It's amazing.
Cold pizza is sensational.
I always order more than I'm gonna eat, so there is some for the fridge. Rawr.
Alan Davies went overboard and should have realised how mentioning Hillsborough in the middle of a deep piss-take about scousers would go over. I think it's hilarious that the articles (and David James) have tried to make him calling Spurs fans vermin and Olly Holt an alcoholic into serious transgressions though.

How about Aston Villa and Liverpool call a truce to this offloading each others overpaid crap on each other? It has not worked out well for either of us.
Btw if I was a Liverpool fan I would remain behind Kenny. The man is a legend there and rightfully so. I also think he has had Liverpool playing some good stuff at times this season (notably the defence speaks for itself) His whining annoys me thpugh. We have lost a lot of points to crappy ref decisions this season as well and could get relegated because of it, but you dont see us whining about it every week. Kenny would do better to rise above it.
Also cold Pizza is disgusting.

The flashes of form he is speaking of was found only in one man who still has yet to sign an extension to a contract that ends in 12 months. God, I'm always moaning about something here
Also, only pizza baked right tastes good in the morning

Yeah, there's a real lack of cohesion/ chemistry that's apparent within this team. I think it's down to the midfield having very little balance. We have plently box-to-box type direct midfielders but very few who can pass well. The creative burden is unfairly placed solely on Mata's shoulders, so when he doesn't start (Like today) our attacking play is nearly non existent. The lack of decent wingers is also a limitation, which we should fix in the summer - Ramires should never play on the wings again.
I wonder where Romeu has gone. He's perhaps not as solid as Mikel, but he's certainly a much better passer.
Clegg u wouldn't last in the jungle. Cold pizza bros would have to carry you.
Expecting a Super Tom start and Nani to feature against Wigan. Tony V needs that rest. Not that he'd show it, but it seems really goddamn sensible to cool him off a bit.
This is probably dreamland, though, and we'll get Giggs. Which seems daft, and not just because I am transparently devoted to ClevGod.

Yeah, but the Giggs CM bullshit will continue. Not that he can't do it, but it is a lazy/cautious selection.

Liverpool are in a seriously difficult position with Daglish. I think it's clear that his status at the club makes it very complex, you'd expect a lesser cherished man would be out the door in the summer.
IMO Daglish has been poor this season. His signings were not good but that can happen. What's been most alarming is that he hasn't adapted his tactics or style when needed and been very stubborn in some instances (Henderson RM for example). Liverpool will be looking to spend £50m net again I would imagine, it's difficult to give that money to Daglish and trust him fully when his plan until now has IMO had more problems than signs of promise.
I'd be inclined to give him another year though because I think he man manages well which I think is massively important. He has club united and everybody seems to be pulling in the right direction, he's able to command that respect just because of who he is; that can be so hard to create otherwise.This is the problem when you have such a sentimental character at the helm of a football club though. It blurs the lines. Also why I don't think Benitez going back to Liverpool would be good, that tale is so conflicted that if things didn't get off to a good start I can see that going all wrong too.
Said it before, Liverpool need a totally fresh start. New stadium, new players new management.

looking forward to watching l'pool have 587583 corners and 387475 shots on target and still lose at blackburn tomorrow. we desperately need a forward who can finish for next season.
I can't disagree with this especially that the situation is complex and a bit delicate. I'm glad it's not me making the calls.
(Henderson at RM has always baffled me. I've come to the conclusion that the coaches see something that I just clearly do not. Then again, the same thing happened to Raul Meireles last season)
Carroll would still do very well if he was sold to a team that plays the style he needs his team to play. He can still be a 13+ goal a season player if he moves to a team that plays direct and crosses the ball well. It's a shame he's at Liverpool because Moyes would probably gnaw someones arm off to get Carroll if the fee and wages were right.
Since Liverpool and Everton are on similar level now they should go ahead with the shared 75,000 capacity stadium they talked about.

Come on man. Be a bit more positive than that. Van Persie is not the only player playing well for us. We've only conceeded 8 goals in our last 10 PL games.
Besides, do you not think Van Persie will sign a new contract?
I really hope RvP gets a goal against Wolves, how many games has it been since he last scored?
4 I think now. I don't care though who gets the goals against Wolves, as long as someone does and as long as we win. lolI really hope RvP gets a goal against Wolves, how many games has it been since he last scored?
Look which two guys are back for the Bayern match
i don't even know who the right one is. and isn't the left one from DSDS?

Fell asleep in the break yesterday and missed that shit. Glad I did.
"That can happen"? When you're talking about such a big outlay there's got to be some accountability. Dalglish paid massively over the odds for inexperienced English players. 35 million for Carroll for madness and 20 million each for Downing and Henderson was just as stupid. If the Liverpool board don't sack him their fans better get used to mid-table mediocrity.
I want Norwich in the top 4 though
Guys don't eat cold pizza. Not when you have the option to reheat it: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=454083
I'm actually more excited for this than the semi finals for some reason.

An Italian newspaper (lol) is saying that Seedorf could go to Juventus this summer. That could be the best news ever. If that happens, I just hope he goes on playing like he did the last 3-4 years with us. But when you think about Conte and the way he wants his team to play, running and everything, it's clear that it's a completely invented news.
And cold pizza sucks, by the way. Pizza right out of the oven is perfect, cold is not even close, imo.

if that happens i predict that seedorf will sit on the bench and then have his scheduled 2-3 amazing games a year when he briefly makes people forget how lazy and mediocre he is and he'll do it against us.

I like cold pizza!! I also like cold cheesy garlic bread. Hmm, delish.
i'm personally a big fan of foods being very hot in the literal sense (though also in the sense of spiciness), so i can't stand cold pizza or certain kinds of cold food. it's not uncommon for me to microwave food midway through a meal because i think it's gotten too cold.
this doesn't apply to foods that are actually meant to be eaten cold of course.

There would be uproar if Liverpool had to share a stadium with Everton.
expectations will be back where they belong soon
if he wasn't going to England in the summer, they would be performing a lot better now.
he has probably been told behind the scenes England is his and its distracting him a bit.
35m for Carroll was ridiculous, but Henderson was 13m-16m depending on who you ask, and Downing was 18m, not 20m. Of all those, Downing seems to be the most overpriced because of his age. Henderson is the England U21 captain and has bags of talent and potential, and Carroll is young and raw but was being chased by a lot of clubs, not just Liverpool.
He's just mad that his team is playing at SPORTS DIRECT(.com) ARENA.

Cold pizza is infinitely better than hot pizza. Breakfast pizza fuck me, it's probably the only time I can maintain an erection without looking at Valencia
Fuck guys, I have drawn the attention of the gods. You should try it some time. It is amazing. I wish I could have some right now. That and a can of coke, just one*
*Has not had any coca cola in 3 years as I was woefully addicted to it.
Even if I wanted to partake in this heavenly meal, I wouldn't be able to as 1) good pizza is expensive as fuck in Japan and 2) I also stopped drinking coke. Shit is poison!
They did you a favour. Shit is addicting.
I used to drink 5lts a day in work. How depressing is that shit.
It's all so obvious now
