  1. Maybe I am, but that's why I asked him, twice! But Boss has obviously made an evaluation of Achterberg that he is not very good, I guess it depends on who he means by "them", but either way it seems that Klopp does rate Achterberg, so...
  2. From the below response to The Guest, it doesn't look like it to me, which is why I asked a couple of times
  3. Boss seemed to be arguing that point, which is why I made it
  4. I mean, you still haven't answered the question... Everyone makes mistakes, everyone makes bad decisions, but Klopp is in a far better position to evaluate Achterberg than anyone on here.
  5. I'll ask again as you've only stated what you are evaluating him on, but to be clear, you can evaluate Achteberg, but Klopp can't?
  6. Hang on, you don't know how Klopp can evaluate him, despite working together daily for the last few years, and not being the only coach of the first team, so having the ability to walk a very short distance to see and leave the others to it, yet you can evaluate him from a few Youtube clips and some circumstantial evidence about how the ability of our keepers have changed?
  7. I've heard from various professional coaches that a lot of clubs, when they let the cameras in to film some training session, they only do basic drills/exercises. They don't like to give away trade secrets. I too used to think the same about Achterberg, but Klopp has praised him a lot and he also has the UEFA Pro licence, which is the highest qualification you can get, so what do I know!
  8. I remember lots of people last season saying that we should have just paid the £90m for Lemar, when I pointed out that he had not done enough to show him being worth that value, and when compared to other transfers during the window he was massively overpriced, but was told that would be the going rate after the Neymar fee and that he would cost more this summer...
  9. If you had a membership Boss, you'd have seen me talk about him the other day... Stats show him a good light
  10. enough of getting punched in the bollocks... Unfortunately I haven't seen enough of Ward's fights to compare him, although he is obviously really good, however I thought Kovalev won the first one, and whilst I thought Ward was winning the 2nd, Kovalev was clearly hit very low a few times
  11. Shame about Beale, I really like him, and he said a while ago that we would like to coach U18s one day as he hasn't done that level yet, and clearly there is an opening there with us, but the job that he was in was always going to be temporary (mainly coaching the coaches at U6 to U9), and hopefully what he has done over the last year will set us in good stead.
  12. You can sign a pre-contract agreement with a club in your own country 1 month before the contract ends i believe
  13. Its hard to have a happier more joyful experience than seeing Madness live
  14. Said the same on the MF yesterday, especially if we are bringing in Fekir as they will already know each other's games
  15. Should have probably clicked onto the next page... some similar things said, although possibly with a different slant!
  16. I know you are very open on here, which is a credit to you, but I don't know all the ins and outs as I don't come on the GF so much and have probably missed a lot of what you've talked about, however, my advice would be to try not to get hung up about her having some separate friends. I think the longer a relationship goes on, the more healthy it is to have some separation or a little pocket of something your own. You have been able to have that yourself, probably in 'real' life, I know you play football for instance, but obviously on here where you speak to people most days and sometimes even meet some of us! I may be wrong, but it seems to me that she may not have been able to have that, not completely anyway, so let her have that space. Maybe it sees you grow further apart, but if you don't give her that space and you stay together it could cause resentment and you break up anyway, but in an even worse position relationship wise. That feeling of isolation that you have from looking after the kids and doing all the housework is also quite possibly how she has felt being a stay at home mum. It is not an easy job, the majority of the time is spent either with children, or with other parents talking about children, it can be all encompassing. Some people just love it, but I think it is healthy to have some adult interaction that is away from kids, and away from ones partner too, just to get a bit more mental stimulation. It is important the she acknowledges that you've been putting that effort in though, and at least it seems like she has shown some appreciation with her text. Unless things are really tight, I would let the money contribution go too. For the last however many years, I guess he has relied on you for money? So give her that independence of having her own money to spend. My guess is she won't be spending all that she's earning, so if you have a big purchase to make, like a holiday or something for the house, then ask her for some money when its needed, and eventually ask if she then put into the pot once she has a bit of a pot saved up and will still feel like she has her own money to spend if she wants something. My missus was a stay at home mum for about 6 years as the charity she worked for went into administration when she was pregnant and so it was very difficult to find a part-time job that she could do and be happy doing, but started working again last year. We've also been through some very very rough patches too, but I haven't suffered from depression and everyone's situation is different, but I've had some similar thoughts to you with money and house work and what not, and came to the conclusion that it is healthy for her to be more independent from me, both emotionally and financially, and it will hopefully lead to a more healthy relationship. We are not there yet, but it will take time, and I think it is the right thing to do. This may be difficult to do, and I may be going against the other advice given, and like I said, I may have missed a lot of what you have told us so missing information, but I would say try to think how it is/was for her, and give her that bit of freedom and space, and try not to resent her having or doing things for herself, things that you've possibly had and taken for granted for the last few years. And if any of that sounds like a criticism of you, its not, I know how difficult it can be (the relationship bit, not the depression bit), but I think you are doing the right thing by fighting for it, its what I am doing myself.

  18. That was if they didn't get in 2 years in a row, which made their Europa League win even more galling
  19. Puma seem to prefer to make shirts of the tighter variety, so its a no from me
  20. I bought a house with a lot of decking. Takes about 2 days to powerwash, and then the oiling takes a couple of days to get 2 coats on the different sections. But it is a lot of decking... from your picture it doesn't look too bad unless its being made bigger. You could powerwash that in a couple of hours and oil the following day. Get decking oil from Wood finishes Direct, cheaper than everywhere else I've seen (by a lot!) and next day delivery
  21. I'm an Adidas man, but think I've recently come to realise that these are my favourite trainers I've ever had
  22. Mate... Like on of those optical illusions where the lines start moving
