The dreaded 'knock' Should mean he is back mid may

0-0 99 mins. 10 mins of added time being played. Ball goes out of play - corner to Liverpool. Corner is swung in and VVD leaps and plants a header past the Sheff Utd keeper - cue an explosion of joy and immense relief all round Anfield. But wait.....the ref is being spoken to by VAR....they want to look at something.... Kavanagh on VAR: "Stu, mate, the ball that went out of play went into The Kop, the corner was taken with a ball that the ball assistant rolled to the corner taker and was not as it should be taken by the player off a cone.....Come and look at the screen, Stu, mate'..... Attwell makes his way to screen: "Here you go look - the ball assistant just nudges it off the cone and into the players stride as he is coming across to take the corner, see there, stu mate....." "Ah yes, good spot, Kav mate - No goal then, yeah?" "No goal - confirmed" "Good process"........

Think he suffered some sort of allergic reaction to idea of playing football.

I wonder what Ronnie Moran would make of a potential medal.... Every season would start with the same ritual. Players would line up to collect their medals from a cardboard box, Moran’s words ringing in their ears. “Take one, if you think you’ve earned it."

Code's hard on for Thiago is a stonker.

What if.... Sums up his time at LFC nicely that.

20? Was 5...

Would be interesting to see their lines for that. I read it was cleared quickly too....

Total recall!

I was having a look on RAWK last night and some biff was actually advocating him getting a title winners medal if we win it this year....

Nice touch using the bacon as candles on her birthday cake and then serving it up to eat...

Good to see it being ignored already at arsenal - i am sure it will be enforced at anfield tomorrow.

Further to above: "In order to help speed up the game and avoid time-wasting, 14 balls -- seven on each side -- will now be available at the side of pitch, an increase of four from the previous system. Ball assistants will be required to return a ball to a vacant cone when it goes out of play and ensure that they are not positioned next to the ball cones. The Premier League has stated that ball assistants must sit behind pitchside advertising boards where possible."

I think they worked out we had benefited from the ball boys getting ball back in play quickly and decided to put a stop to that. The rule now states that "Ball Assistants are only allowed to retrieve match balls and replace them on the vacant cones and are not permitted to return a ball directly to a player."

It is running again on uk gold at present.

Staggering isn't it. We had Coote enforcing it on Sunday. Premier League ball boys and girls have been ordered to stop throwing the ball back to players during matches, amid concerns that the “multi-ball” system is giving home teams an unfair advantage. Updated ruling states that players must now collect a ball from the nearest cone, rather than receive one thrown to them. “Ball assistants”, as they are known in the Premier League handbook, are no longer allowed to even be positioned next to the cones during matches. The league hopes this will make it clear to players that they must fetch the ball themselves during games.

Ha! Anyway all that really matters is what we do - it is on our own hands - only time to really start worrying about the others is if and when it isn't. The biggest worry is the fucking toll as this takes on us as fans!

Klopp has pretty much said Jones won't start. Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Wednesday, Klopp said: “Curtis is in training, full training, and is in contention. That doesn’t mean he can play 90 minutes, [but] he can play a few minutes.”

That is all well and good if true but IMO we shouldn't be paying him to do that. If it was working on getting fit for us fair do's but not if this is true. Should be a terminated contract early by mutual consent job.

Yeah - so we just don't know. My guess is the 86m that we see in articles discussing wage bills is likely a guess/only covers first team squad. But as we have already said we do know they are spending 92% of what they bring in as a club on wages

It is great that they have fallen so far that they see big clubs wanting their best players as a good thing.

Of course not, as you pointed out earlier, "columbo".... The full expectation was all 3 won, those 2 have done their jobs as expected, we now have to do same - and then it is on to a massive game at the toilet.

As much as i know we have seen it so many times with them finishing season stupidly strongly, I just don't believe this abu dhabi team are going to run up 9 straight wins in this run in.

Would be fucking nice to still be there both by time we kick off at the toilet and at final whistle.
