The strictest head teacher is calling for Jess Phillips to be disciplined for racism and bullying and accuses her of breaking the nolan principles of leadership and has submitted a formal complaint. Karen has the manager called on her in a twist I didn’t see coming. Mrs Birbalsingh also references black Labour MPs losing faith with the current leaderships ability to tackle racism within the Labour Party. Mrs Birbalsingh is batshit but I could defo see her not letting this drop and certain parts of the media deciding to notice certain things they have overlooked.

Just checked his injury record has only missed 1 game in the past 2 years - seems robust. I look forward to seeing him trying a pot of scouse and comparing it to goulash on some LFC related interview.

Just read a bit more detail on the Champions League places. The performance is based on ALL the Uefa competitions so would include Europa and the Conference - Emery will take that one seriously and our adventures in the Europa will be counted. They calculate the coefficient and divide it by all the eight English teams that have qualified for Europe this season to determine the following seasons allocation.

The way I read that is we have to rely on English teams who have qualified to peform. So we have to rely on Arsenal, United and Newcastle to do ok and City will obviously peform. Arteta has never managed in the Champions League and Howe has he even managed in Europe yet!. Not sure it's a guarantee. Controversial plans to allow teams to enter the Champions League based on historical performance in Europe have been abandoned. Instead, a place will be given to each of the two countries whose clubs collectively performed best in Europe the previous year and will be awarded on league position. If the rules were applied this season, the extra places would go to clubs from England and the Netherlands. In four of the past five seasons – and six of the past 10 – England would have received one of the places

You can view the dates of when players were purchased and it highlights how early we normally get deals wrapped up for first team/regulars in the summer. Salah 1st July Mane 28th June Fabinho 1st July Matip 1st July Karius 1st July Keita 1st July Nunez 14th June Konate 1st July Alisson was signed on the 19th and Robertson on the 21st and Wijnaldum on the 22nd of July - Oxlade was a rare deadline day signing. So I make that only one first team player has come in the summer after the 22nd of July. I've excluded the covid window which went well into October. https://www.lfchistory.net/transfers/bymanager/28/1

Chat shit get beheaded.

That tweet about the signings is from May so not new but the deadline is soon hence me posting it.

I assume you didn't include the other three tournaments we played in to calculate this 29% number and only referenced league games.

If this quote is accurate then no virtual fist pumps for the hedge fung gang. There is a chance any late arrivals past Klopps deadline (if they arrive) will miss the away games at Chelsea and Newcastle might not be up to scratch until after the first break.

Is this the same Scott from the transfer thread. Still hoping for 3/4 to come in to the first team and a couple for the squad?

Rice is a football decision not a business one - some clubs still make them.

It's gone under the radar but if I read this right and the below is true -- their Kopite auditor resigned last year and grassed Moshiri up to the OFSI which is why he was made a person of interest. If the people you are paying large sums of money grass you up it doesn't look good. It also follows a Guardian report that revealed how the club’s auditor, BDO, stepped away from signing off the club’s accounts last year – a decision sources said was related to the ownership of the Premier League team. The Guardian understands that BDO’s concerns led to OFSI being notified about Moshiri, who has hired an expert sanctions lawyer at Peters & Peters – one of the UK’s largest law firms – according to correspondence sent to the Guardian on Moshiri’s behalf.

Apparently Gremio his club think Suarez is faking retirement so he can get a move to join Messi in America. Might be another chapter in his career yet.

Kenwright has broken The Esk. His blog referencing African leaders who refuse to leave is a bit niche. In the UK there’s been Boris Johnson, rather than accept his fate gracefully last summer, he blamed others for their betrayal, whilst listing his “achievements” and of course, not a shred of humility, regret or contrition. Trump in the US is an even more extreme example of the failure to accept his day was done. Africa has its share of politicians who cling onto power, indifferent to the idea that someone else actually may be able to do a better job than themselves and that their tenure is costly to so many. For example, Yoweri Museveni 79 years old, 37 years President of Uganda has in that time, overseen the continued decline of their economy – more than half of their people in extreme poverty with 60 % of the population earning less than $55 a month. Paul Biya, 89 years old, President of Cameroon since 1982 – so confused he did not know why people had turned up to a rally in which he was giving a speech. His country crippled by extreme poverty, corruption and violence. None of these people, these types of people, have any form of self awareness. They are not in the slightest aware of their limitations, their shortcomings that destroy the lives of millions of innocent people in their own countries. They do not understand the cost of delaying their removal from power. Yet they cling to it as if it is the oxygen that keeps them breathing.

I noticed Alisson hasn't played for Brazil since the World Cup. Last two results shipping 2 and 4 and losing both. Alisson hasn't conceded more than 1 goal in a game for Brazil since 2018. Mane scored a quality goal but seems weird to see a Brazil midfield with two Newcastle players and one West Ham.

One goal. I hate to say it but the mouthy twat Pickford was the difference between them going over the season. Best case scenario is a firesale of a few players and a transfer ban. Still don't understand how they have gotten away with Usamonv owning them and managers saying he is in charge, Panama papers etc.

Neto is out due to personal reasons - Travers is in. Dyche has 3 CBs as he's brought Cody in. Vardy on the bench for Leicester.

Bournmouth didn't stay in Liverpool last night. Apparently they haven't forgotten what happened at Goodison in 2020 when they got relegated. Not sure what for but probably Everton fans being cunts when they went down.

Only scored more than once at home all season that was with DCL under Lampard back in October. Dyche has 6 in 9 (my count is 8 games). Bournmouth can do this - i can imagine a draw.

There was an election campaign and he came 2nd with voters despite his name not being on the ballot. No doubt he is the man. Let's just hope he finds the magic elixir or understands he might get subbed and get rested a bit more if he doesn't peform to his very high standards.

Maybe we just need to get Mo on the Vardy workout plan - a case of Red Bull nicotine patch and a double espresso.

The Milner door. One of Milner’s mantras is that if you are on time, you are late and he won’t accept excuses. He’s never been one to back away from a discussion and the refusal to cut corners in terms of how he looks after himself is the reason he will still be playing in the Premier League next year at 38. Performing at an elite level at the age of 40 as his good friend, the England fast bowler Jimmy Anderson, is doing is a huge target; should that happen, he will probably eclipse Gareth Barry and take the Premier League record for most appearances. His routine is set in stone. He will arrive at Liverpool’s training ground first to do a session of his own work before breakfast, sometimes yoga other times conditioning work. After breakfast, he will do the club’s scheduled daily work, then train before going into a recovery session in the gym. And he will always be remembered there. When Liverpool’s new training facility was built, it was planned out that the gym would be next to the players’ rest area. But to access it meant walking out of one door, around the side of the building and then back into the gym. Never one to stay quiet if he thinks something can be improved, he asked why the rest area and gym wasn’t connected. It didn’t take long for this to be rectified and, in tribute, it is now known as the James Milner Door — fitting for a man who pushes himself to the limits physically. A story from last summer illustrates this: a keen golfer with a very respectable handicap, Milner was invited to play in the Icon Series, a pro-am tournament in New York; the standard was competitive but it was an opportunity for a cross section of sport stars to unwind. There was a good social scene in the evening, with figures such as the great Australian batsman Ricky Ponting, his tennis playing compatriot Ash Barty, NBA legend Steph Curry and Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps all enjoying the hospitality. But Milner was out running around the course at 6am each morning, at a pace around six minutes per mile, determined not to miss a beat. He had been the subject of an enquiry from Aston Villa 12 months ago but Reds boss Jurgen Klopp had made it clear he still had a role to play.

In the past 15 years only Vardy and Defoe aged 31 plus have scored more than 15 Premier League goals back to back. Salah will be 31 when the season starts. One was a late late bloomer the other Defoe was out of favour with England and not playing European football with Sunderland. Not sure playing in England v Spain is a fair comparison for older attacking players. Maybe getting a rest next season in Europe might give him a breather. He's going to do what he's going to do but a fella who has a hyperbaric chamber in his house seems the sort to look for any small gain.

I'd say Italy do a Ronaldo goalhang and notch up some numbers there.
