  1. Barca didn't do him any favours by paying so much for him. There was no way he could live-up to the hype of paying £142m. Had he cost a sane amount of money then the fans wouldn't be as damning of him. The lesson is there for us though, there are reprecussions when you fork out loads for a player and you should only do so very carefully. Allison and Van Dijk were obviously bought in the knowledge that they had the mental fortitude and application to live with their price tags. However, the Thomas Lemar situation shows the other side of that, where we almost paid £65m for an attacking player who would have had a hiding to nothing unless he scored 30 goals each season. In the end he went to Atletico Madrid for £53m, and has 2 goals in 17 games.
  2. Correct answer. LFC does not accept returns. If someone wants out of this team then they're not quite right, which is basically the policy Klopp has on the matter.
  3. I play this a lot. Cross-platform is a bit dubious because PC players are cunts and liable to be cheating bastards. A few people can build structures in a matter of miliseconds, probably using PC, and then those people on XBOX with £120 pro controllers with paddles, they can also get to fuck. Overall, it's a brilliant game, it's free, it's immersive, you can hide in a bush for 20 minutes if you want. Sometimes I just chop down trees for 10 minutes, it's cathartic somehow. Heavy sniper rifle is the daddy of guns.
  4. Can I remind you that disabled people are people too. And that poor children are born innocent and deserve compassion and help. Can you let me know how many kids burned to death in Grenfell. She's a fucking cunt of the highest order, and her father was a kiddie-fiddler, and she can barely contain her hatred for liberals and the poor and the disadvantaged. Have fun on your fucking football website lads.
  5. Would be hilarious except Keita did replace Mane.
  6. Go full Old Testament on her. "What sort of woman can't have children? A sinner, that's who. Yes my honourable friends, we have a barren bitch among us, the Lord has not seen fit to reward her loins with the lamb of God, instead she had raw mutton dripping between her legs, a cold and scratched stone instead of a womb, this woman doesn't know humanity because she wasn't allowed to create love, only harbour resentment and vile, violent thoughts about children. Yes, I'll give way."
  7. I think Labour need to fight on a level playing field. Appoint a female Leader for the Labour party, and let's see how long this feminist charade lasts then for Mrs May. Mansplain that. Awful set of cunts.
  8. Theresa May is a stupid woman. If it was true, and it probably wasn't, then he should have stood up and gone on a rant about her useless ovaries, and confused unused tits, and that her dad was a fat-handed pervert in the church, and that she continuously sabotaged those investigations into child abuse. One day John Bercow will do this.
  9. Mane last 3 seasons = 40 goals in 91 games = 0.43 goals per game Firmino last 3 seasons = 44 goals in 114 games = 0.38 goals per game
  10. He's incredible. His passing is sublime at times, his vision on a par with the top number 10's this division has known. When you consider that he can drop a shoulder and beat anyone for pace, and is brave as a lion (*shame face*), and gives 100% in every game, and also plays with a smile on his face, and does his defensive work, you have to ask just what sorcery is this, and how much he is actually worth. 40 goals in 91 games, from wide positions, is exceptional, it's Robben-esque numbers. Part of me sometimes thinks that his true calling is through the middle, and that we should be looking for another left-sided player to replace him out there. There's no reason he can't be a brilliant number 9, he's got that Eto'o style about him.
  11. By all accounts, it's not the middle of the park that's misfiring.
  12. Obviously it seems that Klopp sees him as integral, indeed, the front 3 is integral, not so much because of their scoring but because of their pressing and how it impacts the rest of the team's performance. Beggars the question that if Firmino or either of the other two aren't pressing enough, then they're tired and need replacing out for a week or two. I don't see why they necessarily have to be forwards that replace them, IF its the energy and fitness level that are most important to Klopp. Why not bring Lallana in to do Firmino's job for two games? Or why not Moreno for Salah? Or Keita for Mane? We're only talking about a rest here.
  13. I think he's labouring next to Firmino, and he's not getting midfielders coming through to help him make space. I'd be pissed off too. That said, I wish he'd stop trying to recreate the Roma goal every time he gets the ball on the edge of the area. Every defender knows what he's trying to do, bit like Robben, albeit Robben takes a fraction less time to hit the ball.
  14. This should be the Labour or Lib Dem campaign slogan.
  15. But it's patently a bigger issue than whether or not we are EU Members on paper. The implications around security, health, travel etc etc etc, you can't make a decision that will change government policies drastically, as such there needs to be more of a reason to do so than '52% of people said they wanted to leave the EU'. It's like having a referendum on whether or not to go into war. I would expect a government to take the result of a referendum into account, but not base the whole decision on that. It's catastrophic logic.
