Football Thread 2016/17 & Offseason |OT2| Wenger In Fam! Wenger Out Blud!

Bring back the legendary Newcastle/Liverpool games I saw as a kid when Newcastle were actually fighting for something.

That Collymore goal was brilliant. But a bit souring that it helped you winning the league, then you lot beat us in that Cream Suit Final.

The 95/96 one was way better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwCDYc-r3iI

Bit ridicilous that we allowed Newcastle back from 3-0 down in the 96/97 one. Must've been when David James played Playstation all night.

It's preseason!
 
Melissa Reddy on Twitter:

"Daniel Sturridge in very good spirits walking through the mixed zone. Said "nah, it's nothing serious" when I asked about his injury."

Good news! Sturridge says he's alright. I knew you guys were all worried about him.

edit: beaten like Sturridge's hammys

It's funny how fans of other clubs make fun of us for always thinking we're gonna win the league at the start of each season. In reality, no Liverpool fan realistically thinks this.

Even when we were 3 games and 7 points away, I still didn't think it would happen. I wasn't old enough to remember the last one, and I'm convinced I won't see it in my lifetime.

I say this to all Pool fans desperate for the title: If you really want it, then someone is gonna have to kill me. I only ask that you make it fast and clear my browser history when your finished.

This game will forever haunt us. If we won the title that season we would have went on to become a true force. :'(

Great match but it killed us in so many ways. Also I can't believe we sold Andy Cole to Man Utd.

Ugh. I hate football. Please save us Rafa.
 
I was gutted when Sturridge started limping. Such a great finish too. Is The Hitcher still using that crocked Sturridge avatar? I'm blaming him.

Mane was excellent when he wasn't getting hacked out by Rafinha and it was another good performance from Alexander-Arnold. He's definitely one to get excited about.

You might have gone on to do something. Maybe. I don;t know that you'd have had the financial clout to do anything more than Blackburn did. But as we all now know, Keegan couldn't hack it. Never known one guy quit so many jobs before being pushed.

Season starts in a week with Madrid-Utd.

United come as favorites imo, since Madrid players still haven't returned from vacation mentally.

Madrid are faves for me. Might still be on holiday but they look better across the pitch than United. Though Mou likes to win things so who knows.

Also I think league footy starts this Friday night with Forrest v Fuck You I'm Millwall. Then on the Saturday is a full fixture list from Championship, Ligue Uhhhn, German SupCup, a bunch of other English leagues nobody cares about, Chinese Moneybags League and then right at the bottom of the give-a-shit-o-meter, the Scottish Prem.

I mean, there's also CL and Europa Qualifiers going on already, but nobody cares about teams to have to qualify
i kid i kid

So just saw the Bayern game of today since i missed it earlier. And i gotta say, not worried yet its preseason... But if they lose Saturday against Dortmund for the DFL-Supercup then yeah, ima start panicking and be worried. Until then positive thoughts i guess 😲. Defense has to do a lot better tho

Man, I'd love to see British pundits commentate a full
Napoli match. Preferably vs a side that presses high.

Oh, what a sight

This is Liverpools list of possible opponents:

Hoffenheim
CSKA Moscow
Sporting
Nice
Young Boys
Viktoria Plzen
Steaua Bucharest
Club Brugge
Istanbul BB
PAOK, AEK Athens or Panathinaikos

There are some good teams in there that wouldn't be out of place in the round of 16 next February. Hoffenheim is to the one to avoid IMO. I'd be worried about YB as well as they are Liverpool's bogey team, just seem incapable of beating them.

It's not fun having to beat Young Boys.
