Connor Coady seems to be doing great since January or so. Worth a squad role, or do we cash in on him?

Is Arrow on the same level as GoT, Mad Men, Sopranos, etc..?

Fucking ventriloquist dummy. Dead eyes. No facial muscles being used aside from the ones directly responsible for the opening and closing on the mouth. Voice sounds like it's coming from someone trying to speak with their mouth closed.
is this sarcasm or
Haven't seen it, but I imagine it's a very different watch that comes down to personal preference. Totally different show than the other three.

What a sensational shit of an article. Taking quotes out of context/leaving out important stuff. "Journalism"
Großkreutz never said he threw the Döner in that guy's face. He said he threw it on the ground.
Out: Kelly, Agger, Toure, Aspas, Alberto, Johnson, Enrique, Lucas, Assaidi (Moses and Cissokho returned).
In: Konoplyanka, Lallana, R. Rodriguez, Martinez, Richards (Wisdom, Suso, Borini, Ilori, Robinson back in the squad, though Robinson is a push because Flanagan is a lot better right now).
Your lot were stunning mate. Deserved every bit of that point. Congrats.

After spending some time now in the football gaf threads, I'm not so sure if that's a good thing or not.
Thanks.
Have mixed feelings about it though. My brother is a Liverpool supporter, two good friends are also, and I really wanted Gerrard to finally get his title, so I can't full enjoy yesterdays result. :\

I'd want another prime defender in, your list looks like we'd be losing decent depth options, for other depth options that might not be ready/good enough
Fully agree with you but I'd say we'd need another centre-back, maybe Benatia.
Lol fuck no
In the same way Iron Man (best Marvel movie, fight me) isn't up there with 12 Years a Slave or No Country for Old Men
Arrow is schlock
But fuck me, it's incredibly entertaining and addictive schlock.
Speaking of movies, you need to see Locke.

Wonder how many keepers City would put in their CL squad if this is upheld
You get dispensation anyway if they all get injured I think, so 2 I imagine

I still don't understand the Agger to Barca rumors. Player isn't good enough for Liverpool.. on the wish list at Barca? It's bizarre. Alex Song was a regular in his final year at Arsenal and young (officially) whereas Agger will be in his 30s before ya know it. I'll believe that transfer when I see it.
I think Liverpool need a top class centre back, two full backs, a top class centre midfielder, and a proper wide option.
It was sarcasm baby (take note faridchan <3 )
I think Bolasie's great. No fear in him, and he proper fucking runs at you, as opposed to someone like Young who teeters in your direction like a drunk foal before turning around with all the air of a man who forgot to lock the front door.
:lol
I remember Albrighton being quite exciting when he first started playing, and then he just disappeared. Dat Lambert resurrection.

As a partner to Sakho? Quite possibly, but it's hard to see who would fit the bill without breaking the bank.
And tbf, our depth options as they stand have already been pretty woeful this season.
Locke was pretty good. Couldn't watch it again, and the script for those on the phone was sometimes really fucking artificial, but Hardy was great.
And Avengers/Iron Man 3/Captain America 2 > Iron Man
Are people completely incapable of looking back on a season overall, instead of the last 3 or 4 games? Lucas is starting DM for most of the first half and does absolutely fine, gets injured and comes back and is forced to play in all kinds of unfamiliar positions (like pretty much RM against West Ham) for a few games. Now all of a sudden he's complete shit and we need to get rid?
Gerrard can still offer a lot from midfield, with his long passing and set pieces, but as a DM Lucas is just better and he's not at the end of his career either.. For years people have been calling for some kind of backup to Lucas, now all of a sudden everyone is willing to get rid of Lucas as a backup DM and be left, once again, with just one defensive midfielder.
I completely understand that it is hard to forget recent events, to try and judge rationally using relevant sample sizes, but this sudden rush to get rid of Lucas based on a handful of out of position appearances is the most baffling opinion I can remember.

For a team that's been in a title race, we've had very few players who've had good seasons
Skrtel*, Flanagan, Gerrard, Allen, Henderson, Coutinho, Sterling, Suarez, Sturridge.
That's it :s
*and even then he's made too many errors

Yeah not even close to Mad Men.
Not seen Soprano's - should do something about that.
Lucas is fine, but as long as Rodgers persists with Gerrard deeper then he isn't going to look very good.
And then, if Rodgers does begin to phase Gerrard out and Lucas moves back to his original position, presumably you'd have Henderson and Allen ahead of him. Which is a good central three, but fuck knows where the goals are gonna come from (magical Joe headers aside).
Which is why Lallana would be a top buy.

His injuries have thrown a massive spanner in the works, he's looked unfit since the West Ham game (where he played very well)
If we get a decent bid, we'd be silly not to consider it on the assumption that he regains enough form and fitness to replace Gerrard when he can't play every week anymore

No, just no. Cannot tell you how utterly bored I was watching im3.
I honestly think he is a great player with a lot passion and drive to excell in his games, have a great pace and intelligent enough to actually produce some neat stuff, when he was a junior at that Villa team, I was mesmerised by the runs he did.
Lambert have treated him horribly IMO
By the way, trust me, I do take notes when I am reading this thread
Unfit since the West Ham game? So, that's 3 appearances that he has appeared unfit. Hardly seems to me to be a massive spanner in the works.

I find it quite hard to watch actually; it's repeated itself quite a lot over the two and a half seasons I've seen, and I hate almost every cunt in it :lol
Need to get back to it though; I'm enjoying it, just wouldn't put it in the top tier with The Wire and Deadwood.
Need to start Mad Men too. Uni finished in three days, should free up some time.

On form, Albrighton is fucking boss.
Hasn't shown it consistently for 2 years now though. Would compliment Lukaku brilliantly if they can get him fit and firing.

3 games of passing poorly is regaining match sharpness
3 games of moving like Tom Huddlestone when supposedly fit is worrying
As I said earlier, I'd gve him preseason to see if he can regain it, but I wouldn't put too much faith in it. 2 or 3 massive layoffs are bound to take their toll.
You should. Last episode is amazing for dat ending.
That's almost your whole first team lol
Baby please. Downey was fantastic, the Mandarin was the ballsiest most fun thing in a superhero movie for years, the script was hilarious, the action and final set piece far improved over the first two Iron Mans.
First one runs out of steam halfway through. Second one is shite.

He's a proper good winger on form, but he needs to be starting every week and showing that every week now. I think he'd be pretty good at Everton to be honest considering how narrow Mirallas would play on the opposite side, could stretch play effectively. Need to keep Lukaku (or get someone similar) to get the best out of him though.
Yeah, that is the worrying part. He haven't had the constant run for 2 years which could hamper anything decent he have done before. Damn you Lambert!
Would compliment Lukaku, but he is not staying

Off to the dentist
The way these last 9 days have gone, they'll accidentally remove all of my teeth

But it really isn't. It's a pathetically small sample size to make a judgment like that. For that matter, don't you suppose that the medical team would step in if he was unready to return? There shouldn't have been any issue switching to the 4-4-2 formation with Coutinho instead.

Good Luck dude. I haven't gone to a dentist in years. My tooth have horribly decayed!
I wouldn't be shocked if they took away all my teeth in few years. Its that bad!

We are going to be so good next season.
As long as Gus stays. And, you know, we don't get relegated

I still don't rate Großkreutz Döner that much to be honest.
It was immense in the first half of 2010 but after that?
