  1. My sister is debating what to spoil her ballot with - will pass this on. Pointers for those just in case you make a mistake. https://votingcounts.org.uk/spoilt-ballot
  2. I guess it depends what her aims are, she got a few important outlets to cover the topic. If I was Jess Phillips I would be horrified to see headlines from the BBC, Sky and a colleague asked if I was a racist and a bully. I mean people said Rachel Riley was making a fool of herself but has been awarded an MBE for combatting antisemitism. Is this just an angry woman riding solo or will others follow. A certain Suella Braverman was a governor at her school.
  3. Both will start the majority of games next season. I voted Nunez he will score a shitload of goals - with the right coaching support and Klopps track record - his ceiling is off the charts. Gakpo is a good team player who managers love and his ability to settle quickly was impressive. I like Gakpo a lot. Being a striker is the most difficult role in football these days. The richest clubs like Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea can't find them. The haters and losers need to show a bit of patience with Nunez.
  4. We don't have the same players we did last season. Do you not think some of the new signings will have been purchased with Nunez as part of the jigsaw. I was more referring to Nunez approach with the ball than off the ball and the areas he drifts into and his involvement in buildup play. I'm not expecting him to be used like Haaland but I wouldn't be suprised in the slightest if we are asking Nunez to be more disciplined and patient.
  5. When you have a political system and media environment that rewards lying, misrepresentation and duplicity - people being uninformed is a symptom. If teachers, social workers or police officers consistently behaved like MPs they would face disciplinary action.
  6. Looks quite nice in pink and tidy for nearly 50 does miss.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. That tweet about the signings is from May so not new but the deadline is soon hence me posting it.
  13. I assume you didn't include the other three tournaments we played in to calculate this 29% number and only referenced league games.
  14. 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.
  15. 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?
  16. Rice is a football decision not a business one - some clubs still make them.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.

  20. 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.
  21. 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.
