Q&A for the pod

[Reckoner]

Is human behaviour predictable and governed by internal or external factors, making us somewhat akin to sophisticated machines or do we have the ability to make genuine choices that are not dictated by natural laws or environmental influences?

I think Klopp will retire.

 

He's spoken multiple times about not spending too much time in football management. He'll be nearly 60 at the end of his contract here, and apparently a delay to his house in Germany being built played a part in his decision to stay on here.

Never heard the thing about a house before.

Thoughts on Gakpo? I think he lacks intensity and aggression so far in his career with us.

 

Is Ali our best ever keeper?

 

Should we sack the domestic cups off this season and concentrate on the league and Europa League?

 

 

[Remmie]

Who are the cult heroes in the current squad?

 

What youth players do you have high hopes for? 

 

Will Origi score against anyone apart from Everton this season? 

 

Do you have any footie superstitions? How effective are they?

Which poster did you enjoy banning the most?

I presume we will play a 2nd choice 11 for the pre-Christmas rounds of the League Cup. If we qualify for the semi-finals, he may play a few more dirst choice players.

The FA Cup 3rd and 4th rounds are in January with the League Cup semis. A bit of juggling might be needed but there is only one League game and no European game from 30th December to 31st January. 

 

I think we could be busy from February on, but wouldn't it be great

Top 5 (or 3 if you're too lazy) films each. That will tell us everything we need to know and separate the wheat from the chaff.

I agree plus he now has a grandchild who he often goes back to see and speaks of such love for him.

Who is everyone else's boy? And if all the pod members added their boys together would that list be half the size of Dave's? 

[Dr Nowt]

What is the largest live mammal you could each respectively cling-film to a lamppost unaided?

[Dr Nowt]

How close were you to making The Thriller In Berliner a PPV event streamed live on the forum?

 

Who would have made up the undercard and in which order?

[No2]

We have a few kids of ex players in the academy. Who's kid would you like to see play for us?

[Morning Glory]

Following Dave’s revelation over Croissantgate last week, are there any other foreign words he will not pronounce in their mother tongue, such as Grand Prix or Duck a l’orange?

[A_S]

What are each of your favourite moments as a red that didn't involve being at Anfield...or a cup final. And why?

[Bob]

Where’s my book?

What we’re the best 3 captions you can recall from the old fanzine days. 
 

(reading the captions and trying to work out who might’ve written which ones was the genuine highlight of some matches)

[The Midnight Rambler]

Choose wisely

 

Everton to get relegated and don’t come up for twenty years

 

or

 

Manchester Yernited don’t win a trophy for another twenty years.

[3 Stacks]

Which Liverpool player would you most enjoy watching fuck your wives?

That’s a difficult one. I think I’d choose Everton going down and hope United only win  the odd cup. If United were top and looked really well set for the future I might have chosen differently. 

[Hoddy]

Which Liverpool goal did you celebrate the most and maddest, that ultimately didn't matter?

 

(Confined to the result of one game - so Lovren v Dortmund wouldn't count.)

Is it wrong to steal a loaf of bread to feed your starving family? Well, suppose you got a large starving family. Is it wrong to steal a truckload of bread to feed them? 
 

And, what if your family don't like bread? They like... cigarettes?Now, what if instead of giving them away, you sold them at a price that was practically giving them away. Would that be a crime?

[redrosetints]

Given the rise of Oil money, do you think the PL and UEFA should do anything to level the playing field and if so, what should they do ?

Possibly more of a theme for a separate podcast than a question, but if any of you doing this pod were at the obvious classic matches at Anfield, what are your recollections from the night/day? Thinking St Etienne (!), Auxerre, Mancs 3-3, the Newcastle 4-3 matches, Fowler's hat trick against Arsenal, and any other notable ones attended. There's others of course but those immediately spring to mind for me of those that pre-date the more recent classics under Jurgen.

I attended all of those mentioned except the St Etienne one. Boy was I spoiled when I used to go to the game.

My question is 'Has modern technology ruined the spectacle of the game?' Not just VAR but pitches which are immaculate,technology which obviously favours the rich clubs as they can afford the best while smaller clubs can't. Games and trophies are won before anybody kicks a ball. Discuss,maybe?
