Its a little annoying having a player who single-handedly destroys any pretense of being able to argue that you deserve respect, but oh well :p


We've slightly got our shit sorted in terms of not acting like bellends since Kenny left, although the mere employing of Suarez and that knobend who threatened the guy from twitter fucked us over a bit :D

Using the Suarez card always works, everything you've done on one side and he's in another. I won't dive deeper into why since you probably already know. :p

I'll try and say this as respectably as I can;

What I can't fathom is the obsession with Liverpool even after a club is enjoying an immensely successful period. "Are you watching Merseyside" is the annual chant if United win any silverware (even midseason if there is a decent result).

I would laugh it off, but it became cringe worthy when the club wrestled the league back from the PL financial behemoths and had it's greatest ever coach retiring. Yet they could only muster the passion to taunt a team in seventh place? Really?

I'd attribute it to the fact that you were once the biggest team in England and we were the underdogs, it's an incredible achievement that the behemoth that is LFC is now 2nd to Manchester United in the league trophies. It's like 10 years from now when Real Madrid are 7th and Barca are still successful, I bet you Barca fans would still hate on Madrid.

That is unlike 5 years from now when City are out of the top 4 and are messing around with Newcastle, their success would be a legend told to the children. "do you remember when City were successful?" "heh, yeah that."

Even if we don't share the same opinions from time to time I still hope Mexico will come up with a good performance at the world cup next year! They can do it if everything works. Such a talented team. From Definitely my favourites when it comes to teams from North, Middle or South America.

With all due respect, aren't you rather young and also not from the UK?

I mean I "hate" United, mostly in the same way I hate all of the biggest teams with the most money, but I can't claim to have some deep-rooted loathing for them because I'm American, and Liverpool were only a top team for the first 7 or 8 years of my life, well before I had any interest in professional football.

It probably would be, but even one of those 2 going to Liverpool is far-fetched, let alone both. You'd also run into the same problem Chelsea have of 3 attacking players all wanting to play central.

From what I can work out, the plan next year is to have Coutinho as the number 10, play Aspas wide left and Suarez wide right, all playing off the lone striker.

If Suarez goes, I think BR will be looking at Mkhitaryan to come in and play the wide forward position on the right.

Either way, if we're looking at Mkhitaryan, i doubt there's any way we're still interested in Eriksen. He'll be at Ajax next season.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
English under-21s made up 2.28% of the total minutes played in 2012-13 with Manchester City, Chelsea, Swansea, Stoke and Wigan failing to field an English player under 21 all season.

I'm warm to the idea of selling Suarez, but for no less than £50m. That'd bring in 3/4 very good players. Aspas, Papadop, and another midfield/attacking option like Mhiktiaspellname would be a good window. (Not that I've ever seen Aspas play, or Padadop/Mhik play more than a few games + youtube)

Mourinho on CR7: "He thinks he knows all,and that a manager can't make him upgrade. He didn't like my tactical critics,that was the problem"

Mourinho on Pepe: "He was a foot and half out of Real.I fought for his deal.Then,a guy 13 yrs younger played in his place,and he didn't like"

Mourinho on Real: "The best for players was that I wd leave. No regrets,not worth.I'm a 'useful' manager:when I'm there,I'm the only target"

Mourinho: "As Sinatra said, I did it in my way. And I'm proud I won all the three possible spanish titles"

Hodgson won shit in Sweden and Denmark and is now the manager of a top international side. Kenny is a club legend who was only let down by his misguided fashion sense. Brendan is a pretender to the crown of Swansea Revolutionary, masking Kenny Jackett's true form as saviour of all that is Welsh and holistic.

I doubt either of Mkhitaryan or Eriksen were begin scouted to play on the wing and there was certainly interest in such a player before the Suarez situation. Seems to me they would replace Henderson in the starting lineup if one came.

Liverpool will finish top four next season. Book it.

If I hadn't lost quite a bit of money playing poker yesterday, I would gladly put money of them coming nowhere near the top 4.

Seriously, who are Liverpool going to push out? They have barely got a top 6 squad, and let alone top 10 if old Luis goes away.
