Get in!

Pelanty! Milner is on!

Mo needs to fucking look up! Oliver is giving Leicester a lot of the calls right now.

That's a joke fucking booking Oliver considering what you let maddison get away with.

Shame Sadio couldnt convert that chance after Bobby scored. That, was some of the best football Ive ever seen including either from the 1978 or 1987 teams.

Bobby! Tell you what, we look fucking boss!

That would have been a strong penno shout on chilwell if Mo hadnt been offside there.

You have to marvel at such inbreds singing champions of england, you'll never sing that and about Stevie. Fuck me, what nobs.

Bumped incase this was missed 

Thanks!

Fucking look up, Mo!

Sounding a bit wasteful here.

Any radio doing live free to air commentary?

Lampard, lost at home again. Tactically inept, I tell you.

What's his problem? Fucking miserable twat. You can't help but feel that if Klopp was in the same position, he'd go along with it and have a laugh. 

Pep? He's under pressure mate!

I am nervous.

Well, you always feel like vardy will score against us. He's just one of those strikers who seem to be good enough to do it so I always go into these games against Leicester hoping we score at least 2!

It's an old cliche but these are the games that win titles, going to shit places and getting a result. Today is a must not lose day.

Fuck that noise, it's the same thing for me, fuck silhouettes, Premier League Schmemier League, it's a league title, the number will be 19 next to that same silhouette and then next year it will be 20 and a picture of a Liver bird back on it's fucking perch.

It's the same thing to me as well.

I dont have a problem with the order. But, Im baffled what they are going to do on both walls when we win number 19.

The European Cup \ Champions League is easy because it's the same trophy, only the name changed (Ok and for the pedants, the format!). But when we win the Premier League, that is a different trophy silhouette to the Football League trophy and there isnt space for both of them!

Liverpool have asked the Premier League to reconsider the ruling that forbids them from wearing the world champions' badge on their kit during games.

The Reds were crowned Club World Cup champions on Saturday night in Qatar after a 1-0 win over Copa Libertadores winners Flamengo, with Roberto Firmino's extra-time goal settling the final at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha. 

As a result of the victory, Liverpool are now entitled to wear a golden FIFA Champions badge on their shirts. 

However, because of the different set of administrative rules for each competition, they might not be seen on strips in every tournament that Jurgen Klopp's side are involved in.

UEFA will permit the Champions League holders to sport the badge on their shirts in Europe's premier competition this season and next as a result of their success in Qatar.

 

Premier League stipulations, though, mean that a formal application would be required to register anything different on existing kits worn in domestic matches for the remainder of the season. As of yet, that request has not been granted by the governing body.

 

That means the golden badges would not be seen until the Reds resume European action against Atletico Madrid in the Spanish capital on February 18. 

Liverpool are hoping that decision is reversed and they are permitted to wear the badges that signify the club's first-ever victory in the Club World Cup. 

The ECHO understands the club have asked the Premier League to re-think the ruling so that the Reds can have the symbol on their kits for the remainder of the campaign.

 

Speaking last week, a spokesperson for FIFA  told Liverpoolfc.com:  "As per the usage guidelines, the winning team can wear the FIFA World Champions Badge from the day it becomes champions up to and including the final of the next edition of the tournament." 

They confirmed only the club's first team may wear the badge, adding: "The badge may only be used on the current official team playing shirts.

"That means that the FIFA World Champions Badge may not be used on previous [or] historical versions of the team shirts, training jerseys, tracksuits, training tops or any other products."

The fume going on by mainly city, united and chelsea fans on the newspaper sites about our application, is a joy to behold!

FIFA's statement also means the club cannot sell replica shirts with this badge on it.

Leicester have always been a bogey team for us. That said, we've had a longer break after the World Final than I thought we'd get. Yes, Id take a draw now but this team, oh boy, they are something else and I wouldnt bet on them.

Interesting - thank you - supplementary question....why do the Bloo Noses keep banging on about it? Hope, delusion, both?

For most of them, both I guess. I mean what's the alternative? It's also one of the few, if only, crumbs they can cling to and throw back at us like school kids in an argument. The 'yeah, well our owner is going to build us a big shiny stadium and, and, and...........' etc.

I've just looked it up. In the league he is 29 wins in 56 matches.  How is it possible? They seem to drop points every week. In permanent charge he's 15 wins in 37, even that feels high! 

When he took over, they had a run of 10 or 12 easy fixtures in the league that mourinho's poisonous atmos would have prevented them winning. But who cares, wtf has he won with them? Jurgen's stats blows him away on what we and they know really counts.

Liverpool contact the PL to wear FIFA World Champions badge in Premier League games.

Oh and by the way, FIFA will not allow the badge to be worn on souvenir shirts.

Surely that can't be right? They've barely won a game since march. 

It doesnt acknowledge the fact that he inherited a team that finished 2nd in the league under mourinho. Jurgen and Pochettino didnt so were starting from a supposedly lesser team basis.

But anyway, Id be surprised if solskjaer's win percentage in anywhere close to that now and his team's trajectory is downwards.

So why wouldn’t that happen? Seriously - what’s the evidence to say that it will never happen? We can’t KNOW that, can we?

Because a football club's income, expenditure and where the money comes from has to be accounted for in their annual accounts and open to public scrutiny. While some may query the level of accountability, it's not as easy as handing over suitcases full of money.

Someone like that Swiss Rambler who does financial breakdowns of club finances would soon spot a massive surplus of cash or spending by a club that wasnt in tune with the accounts or financial position of the club.

Big transactions and movement of money has to be reported and monitored by the banks and Bank of England. It's hard enough transferring about 20 grand when selling your car never mind trying to sneak hundreds of millions unnoticed into a football club, especially one with ambitions to build a new stadium.

Fuck it. it's Christmas and we're World Champions. Enjoy!

This is where partisanship doesn't help football. We should back them up.

 

Instead of saying "Live with it. it happened to us.", we should say "Yeah, you're right. It happened to us and it shouldn't happen to you." - let's change this sit instead of normalising it.

 

Not having a pop at you mate - just using your post to show a different perspective.

No problem. Yes, I agree with you.
