Football Thread 2014/15 |OT9| - How the Snitch stole all the banter

Not any time soon.

Firstly, we need better recruitment across the board. And we need to make a couple of Suarez-type signings, players who are willing to join us as they haven't quite proved themself in one of the major leagues, and then quickly goes on to become an unstoppable beast. I don't think anyone saw Surez becoming as good as he has done aside from maybe Ajax fans.

And honestly, for it to happen within the next 5 or so years, we'd need to luck out a bit and have a great season which coincides with 2 or 3 of the other big guns underwhelming to some degree.



Depends what you mean. I don't feel any antipathy towards him for it, because he's given us everything. And its not like he got sent off for punching someone, it was a mistake. He'll never live it down in his own head though, and that kills me tbh. Winning just one league title for us would have meant a hell of a lot to me and other LFC fans, it would have meant everything to him.

He's had a great career if not as good as it would have been if he'd left us, but winning the league title would have basically completed his career, and he'd have retired with no regrets about his decisions to stay here when others were offering him guaranteed titles. Winning it all with your boyhood club has got to be what every aspiring footballer dreams about, and he robbed himself of that chance. No matter how much he earns, that must be soul-destroying.

He'll probably always be my favourite player, but being the guy who sticks with the club no matter what, and then plays a major role in our first league title for 24 years would have been perfect tbh. Of all players to make the error which causes our season to implode, it had to be him. Football is fucking cruel sometimes.


And really, if a single Liverpool fan looks back on him overall as 'the guy who lost us the league', they're an absolute cunt unfit to call themself a fan. He's on a very steep decline and was the flashpoint that led to us falling apart last year, but its been a privelege to have him play for us. For over a decade, his standard has been well above our own. During that stretch, we've only once had a team which was undoubtedly of the quality he deserved to play with, in 08/09.

I want someone as loyal as he is in United again.

Giggs, Scholes, Cantona. Legends.

Meh. I'm probably just depressed because it seems like we will really lose De Gea next season. :(

...:lol is that supposed to make him feel better or something?

I just realized that Balo is Liverpool's striker

They really can't catch a break

Even their black striker is now racist

Dude has been playing out of his mind this season but he seems like such an odd chap, like he's always lost and just happened to find himself in a football club.

Not like Bielsa has any power WRT transfers anyway. :(

Some people don't understand the difference between stereotyping and racism. I guess these people will also believe that calling a Dutch person greedy is racism.
 
No, not really.

Two posters on the first page (50ppp gold standard), seven on the first two pages. That said, from the very beginning that looked like a thread one should avoid, if only to not get angry.
Some got banned for using extreme sarcasm. Like mac. lol

I avoid those threads like the plague.

But I fucking hate society these days in some matters. Stupid social media.

= His point stands, if you want success in Germany then you support Monaco.

You win the league 50% of the time, if that's not guaranteed success then I dont know what is

51 out of 51 times would be.

That Klopp rant is crazy. He is going insane.

Thanks to the internet everything is racism these days. Every fool with an internet connection gets a chance at expressing opinions. And the funny thing is, when you speak to people in real life it's hard to find people offended by an image such as the one Balo posted on Instagram. I don't even think it's particular funny, but how people can call that blatant racism is beyond me.

What also really annoyed me when the Zwarte Pieten thread was in full gear is that a guy who compared the Sinterklaas festivities to dictators goes unbanned where others get bans over nothing. I don't really have an opinion on the matter but people who are pro and against Piet should at least be banned accordingly and equal.

But yeah, I'm just gonna stay away from threads about subjects that end with -ism. Nothing good comes from those threads. The same people recycle the same opinions every thread again.

I'm also pretty sure 90% of the people who are most vocal about 'racism' on the internet are casual racists in real life.

If you have an opinion that something isn't racist, you're automatically wrong. And you're a racist.

If you claim that you're not a racist you're even more of a scum racist. "What, some of your best friends are of a different race from yours, smart guy?".

If one guy of a group that should be offended by something says he doesn't feel offended, he will be piled on by the rest as well.

If you use an expression associated with a group different from yours, guess what, you're a racist. Every race has its own sayings that only them can say, and that kind of discrimination isn't actually considered racism these days 👍

Rooney out is a blow because he's in good form but luckily we have good players to cover for his absence. We're a bit more reliant on ADM right now to get attacks started but with a tweak of the system Ander can drop in and still get us playing well. It's nice to have options in the squad again.

Casino Royale and Skyfall are great. Quantum of Solace not so much. Coming from someone who's seen almost every Bond film I think the Craig Bond films are amongst the best. Sean Connery is my favourite Bond actor though.

Skyfall did almost double what Casino Royale did.

People have shit taste, who knew.



I ... don't know.
I think Casino Royale was the only Bond movie that I really loved


Skyfall was a mess

I remember arguing with Nathaniel over it too :lol Christ no wonder he hates me ;_;

I find QoS quite underrated. Some great moments like the Opera scene.

the Brosnan films had the right amount of campiness

the new ones are far too serious.

That would have been a problem if they didn't pull it off. But they make it work imo. Current Bond is also much more about the person and less about the gadgets craze we had in every Bond film before. The gadget stuff made sense back in the day when people were still really into technoligcal revolution, introducing the computer and cell phones and stuff like that. But by the time of Brosnan they just came up with stuff for the sake of having crazy gadgets. Q became a humour part for the films.

Yeah, the car chase at the beginning was ace too.
