Ne Moe Imya

Spearfishing is always exciting, but this encounter I had with an unusually aggressive 2-meter bull shark yesterday REALLY got my heart pumping!

This is spot on. There is nothing better than an air fryer for roasting vegetables. It is about half the time of the oven and they come out more evenly roasted. I use mine probably 3-4x/week for that. Sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts, butternut squash, any of them, just drizzle some olive oil and salt on them, set it to air crisp and it's literally 10-12 minutes. Healthy and delicious!

This is exactly right. Mo is absolutely brilliant, and will go down as one of our greatest ever players. But despite that, at some point he will lose his physical edge and his level will fall off a cliff - it happens to everyone. There is a pretty solid argument to be made that he might stretch that cliff out for a season or two beyond normal players - he certainly takes very good care of himself! However, as you say, you would rather let a player go a season too early than one too late, and it will be touch and go (and probably, in the end, come down to the offer that is made for a fee) as to whether he's sold or gets an extension.

Solskjaer was indeed perfect. Although having said that, weren't they rumoured to be considering Giggs when they ended up appointing Mourinho? He won a few games as caretaker and there were rumours that they were considering appointing him permanent manager. That would have been even better than Solskjaer. Watching one of their genuine legends just absolutely flushing his reputation and status with the club down the drain, bit by bit, for a season or two would have been absolutely brilliant!

His goal tonight reminded me of two goals from our recent history. First was Torres' sensational strike against Sunderland, because it's a similar position and curls similarly into the top corner: The second was one of Suarez' goals against Norwich, where he had just fluffed his lines with a poor touch, the opposition fans were winding him up, and he just goes and shuts them up with something none of their players is capable of doing on their best day: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-9N-OY1EEy0

Strangely, that will actually make half the forum like him more. When you're trying to "win the transfer window," it's actually better to overpay because then, like Arsenal did with Pepe or Chelsea with Mudryk, your fans can go on Twitter and crow about how great it is to support a big club and post memes of Liverpool fans crying or whatever.

He has exactly half the touch of an anvil. Every other touch is pure Messi, then anvil, then Messi again. Just watch the way he does the defender before he hits the post Thursday. Unbelievable, silky smooth. Then runs past the keeper and turns into anvil-foot again. You can't take your eyes off him.

It's two things, but it's mostly the second one. 1. Who takes over when he's gone, and would he be as good for the oligarchs? 2. You come at the king, you best not miss (RIP Prigozhin).

That is a really strange way to phrase their statement, if you ask me. "We support the Palestinian people and their right to resist" is a bizarre word choice literally a few days after a mass terrorist attack that targeted civilians. It doesn't exactly say that the attack was justified or morally good, but it is walking a VERY fine line to avoid saying exactly that. There are plenty of ways to say that you stand against what Israel has done to the Palestinians without seeming to justify what Hamas has done.

Not sure if you're being over the top for the sake of making a point, but for me, it's a hugely significant fact that this DOESN'T happen. As many have said on this thread, there isn't a "good side" in this whole situation, but I really think people let themselves down when they equate the atrocities on both sides. Israel has done plenty of evil, but the videos coming out of last week's attacks reveal Hamas to be basically little different to ISIS or Al Qaeda in terms of intentional targeting of civilians, especially women, children and the elderly.

I fully agree with all of this, but I would also admit that there is a significant portion of our own fanbase, even on forums like this one, who have expressed multiple times how great it would be were Liverpool to be bought by a similar sportswashing evil wealth fund.

A man who has a Twitter account and the ability to enter "Andre in a Liverpool shirt" on Dall-E, who could doubt that level of authentic journalistic credibility?

Good to see that you agree with his tweet there, Gnash. I'm assuming that means you've changed your mind and now you're against Russia cutting people off from food & water.

Having lived in Britain and also Siberia, I would say that I agree with @an tha on this one. No one in England needs a serious winter coat (i.e. down and the like). Down coats are for when it's below -10, preferably -20 and down. You need them when it's so cold that there's zero moisture in the air, and in that circumstance they are irreplaceable and utterly brilliant. What you need in Liverpool is wool. Maybe, on the coldest winter days, a light down vest, but for the most part, you want something that can function to keep you warm in high humidity or mist/fog/light rain. That's when you feel the coldest, but it's also the exact conditions that a down coat is useless in.

I say this all the time. There's a reason church/nursery songs work well - they are designed to be sung by big groups of people, and have been tested to work in that fashion. People are always trying to force popular songs to work, but the fact is just because a rock or pop star can make it sound good doesn't mean it works for a stadium full of people.

This, from Pavel Gubarev, should be absolutely required viewing for every Western politician who thinks that there is a way to make peace with Russia under the current leadership. Starts at 3:28 here:

Strange to see you going with the whole "we should just call evil, evil" argument when your entire schtick on this thread is to avoid any semblance of calling what Russia is doing (attacking a weaker neighboring nation, claiming her territory and raping and torturing her citizens who disagree) evil. I actually think no one would have a problem with you and what you're saying were you to also make that crystal clear. If you were saying "yes, what Russia is doing is heinous and 10x worse and we have to find a way to stop them, but Ukraine has some serious corruption issues that should give us pause before we ship them truckloads of weapons and cash" we could have a civil and reasonable conversation. But when you come on here just picking through the news to find whatever makes Ukraine look bad and ONLY EVER posting that, it shows you for who you are. A hypocrite.

Oh, come off it. Lucas wasn't great, he wasn't even good, he was just "meh." There is a lot of grading on a performance vs. expectations curve on this thread. I mean, seeing the likes of Aquilani and Lucas thrown around (who were both basically "meh" players, it's just that they were standing next to Gerrard or Alonso so we started to get our expectations up in terms of what a midfielder could be) is insane. Especially when we've also watched the likes of Konchesky or Diao line up for us.

I said when we bought him that we didn't need him to be a player who could win us a match, we just need him not to lose us any matches. Looked pretty comfortable being exactly that today:

Gnasher when Russia does millions of terrible war crimes: Gnasher when one 98-year old Ukrainian Nazi is in the news:

One of the worst players every to pull on the shirt but he gave us this legendary highlights video so it's just about even, I reckon:

If the criterion is "at their peak," then Suarez probably is our best player ever, full stop. The first half of that 2013 season he was the best player on the planet, and that was with Messi and Ronaldo in their primes. But since I think the question is "greatest ever Liverpool players," then Suarez can't get in, simply because he left after 3.5 seasons, and it's not like we won a huge trophy haul while he was here. If he'd stayed and finished his career playing under Klopp, he'd probably be seen as one of the best players ever to play in England and we'd have won the league and CL multiple times. As to the question about Salah, I think he's in there ahead of Barnes at this point, but it's debatable. Gerrard and Dalglish the only two you'd have to put ahead of him, could argue a while about where he falls among Rush, Barnes, Hansen, and Souness, maybe one or two others.

Said before the season that he would outscore Mo, which raised a number of eyebrows on here. It was looking a bit daft, I'll admit, after he started the season on the bench and Mo was scoring left and right. Now, I'm back to thinking he can do it, though I'd happily accept it if they both get 25 or so.

Just watching the United highlights and it occurs to me that Jadon Sancho must be doing something absolutely extraordinary on the training pitch if his effort is that much lower than whatever these lads are putting in. Just looked barely short of interested during this match, to a man.
