I FINALLY LANDED A JOB!!!!
pending references check
Edit: Bla keep at it. I've been rejected so many times. Keep trying and you'll find something eventually.
Congrats mate!
It's half way through a match (where you're getting smashed and you're personally playing awfully), the last thing on your mind should be swapping shirts with someone. Incredibly unprofessional.

I don't really understand it either. It should be done after the match, and he should have known that people get angry about it, but it's not exactly the worst thing to do. If someone other than Balotelli did it, it'd blow over in 20 minutes.

Well both Coutinho and Sakho swapped shirts with Chelsea players last year at half time when they were losing 2-1.
Didn't see the Echo do a piece on that though.
Just had lunch at Spoons with two mates. One's a youth coach at Fulham, one used to work at Benfica.
Here I am grilling. Madness.

Hitch, re: your post about elite clubs. I thought it was just fucking extraordinary to watch the speed in which they came forward. Every single time they had the ball, Marcelo bombs forward, Modric moves it on with such speed... just gorgeous transitional play.

EPL quality is poor
But Ronaldo said it didn't shock him that much that Liverpool fans applauded him because England has a special culture other leagues don't have
Dat EPL
It's not, and he didn't need to be outclassed, that damage was already done by Bobby Zamora and that is certainly some feat.
Was just thinking how amazing Shinji would of been in the new look United team. Before he was stuck playing in a midfield with guys who wanted to play a tempo that geriatrics would of found slow. This team has players now who actually push the pace and go forward instead of sideways. Such a shame van Gaal didn't give him a chance.

The ease with which they play one-twos to get the ball out of defense and into midfield/attack is extraordinary as well
Look at how laboured we were against QPR when we were trying to get the ball into decent areas, and how easy we were to pin back into our own third without an outlet. They're just too good at finding space, with and without the ball.
Disappointing that we were so obviously toothless, Marcelo and even Arbeloa had free reign to do what they wanted with no fear of losing the ball and conceding on the counter. We were never gonna score, no matter how much we had the ball in the final third. Only thing that worried Casillas was that Coutinho shot when it was already 3-0.
Says a lot about our usage of the so-called squad that we couldn't retain a decent standard of pressing for even 20 minutes. We're still playing the same 13 players over and over again, having spent an absolute bomb on filling out the squad in the summer. Obviously we've had a few injuries, but we're still struggling to find games in which we can play our 2nd choice options, such is the way we've been slogging through even the easiest fixtures.
You're both wrangling substandard meat innit

That'd be funny if Fulham didn't actually have an exceptional youth setup
(apparently)

Fulham are just funny in general.
And they could have fucking Gattaca as their youth policy and they'd still be Fulham.
Everyone is making fun of me at work.
And it's not because I'm a beautiful stud.
It's because of Allegri
Help pls

COD is a sinking ship, we're sinking so hard so it makes sense, but still, fuck you both.

Imagine how utterly fucked we'd be without that last minute penalty against Ludogorets. We have 3 weeks to sort ourselves out for Ludogorets away, Sturridge may be back for that I think. Can't afford to drop any points in those last 2 CL matches, and even then it's on the assumption that Madrid will get 18 points.
Rikkun m8 remind them you're 32 times champion of Italy, current champion for the third year in a row, top at the moment, currently have one of the best midfielders of all time, the best midfielder in the world and the future best midfielder in the world all in one team, and you're not Inter.
Remind them.
Remind them.
Oh my, do I love you Wilbur. <3

He must have only forced 1 or 2 decent saves as well.
95% of them are easily blocked, off target (by a distance, often), or straight at the keeper.

*WHOOSH*
Balo being smart here
He is trying to be on the good side of Pepe because he want to be able to still play football after the two legs
/s
Congrats, Killer.
But he still managed 15 goals so far, though. Huehuehue.
Cheer up, Hitch? You can laugh at lolspurs and Usho's favourite, Paulinho, tonight.

What exactly is the Echo? Is it a newspaper, or the self-ordained voice of all Liverpool fans?
LabouredSubterfuge

Why it's both.
I really don't think it would be too different to how Mata is performing. They are both very slight and Mata has been coming under increased pressure from the midfielders in the opposing team (their defensive mid in particular). They both lack the same thing; physicality, speed, tracking back etc. Although, tbf, Shinji got back to help out in defence during Moyes's time at the club.

Seriously, that's fucking annoyed me for some reason. 'The ECHO says Balotelli must say sorry'
First, he's not a toddler. Secondly, it sounds extraordinarily pompous, and indicative of a paper with an enormously inflated view of its role
Anyone keeping tabs on what's happening with Everton's trip to Lille ahead of the Europa match tonight?
Last night around 100 Lille unprovoked fans assaulted a group of Everton supporters who were at a bar having a peaceful get together.
This was confirmed by the bouncer of the bar who is ex-military and said that there were children present.
They threw chairs, smashed windows and when the police responded - they pepper sprayed the Everton supporters?
Fast forward and today the Everton fans assembled in the main square before the match.
A few flares were let off and the riot police responded with fucking tear gass and rubber bullets!?!?!?

Standard procedure. Same thing happened over here with Stade Rennes iirc.

Crazy. For some reason I was under the impression that things like that don't happen in French football.
if Origi plays well tonight after our striker's displays this season, my foot is going through the TV
Rubber bullets and tear gas is standard procedure for the authoritarian Turkish government against their citizens, not fucking Everton supporters in France?

a moment for last years tv
Nevermind the slip, that's the moment when the battleship sunk.
He's going to Bayern.
I thought it was at lille's request that he stay for another year?
The_Hitcher89

It was, and at 19 he needs more gametime than we could have guaranteed him. But with Sturridge's injuries, and the lack of form in the other 3, he'd have come in handy probably. I'm sure we could have paid more and had him this season, but at the time sending him back seemed like the best move for him and us.
Already agreed with Bayern. Dortmund will get Shaqiri and Firminho though.
It's like everything that could go wrong for Liverpool this season did in a really bad way.
I still think you can fight for 4th in the EPL. Arsenal and United are really no better or worse than Liverpool.
Stendhal syndrome. Too much beauty, the kid couldn't handle it.
Can't blame him, it's the GOAT.
