Trouble with that is that Pep can only succeed in his methods, with the world’s best [and priciest] player in every position, and the world’s second-best player as back-up in every position. Guardiola couldn’t replicate his success here because LFC/FSG can’t/won’t recruit the number of World Class his approach demands……so what makes us think a Guardiola lookalike can do it?

Diet Coke dripping out of my nose! Tremendous, fella!

Any Feyenoord players worth bringing with him?

Birdsong. PS do we have any birders on the forum? I’m new to birding and loving it.

I’m a great admirer of his movies, especially Darkman; so I’m in….

This is all we need for the forseeable future:

From Alonso to Amorim to Slot….

They do indeed

Been three times and stayed in a lovely little place called Sissi.

Does there come a point - after all these hipster formations have eaten themselves, that 4-4-2 becomes de rigeur; again?

Oh fuck it - get this fella in

Ghostbusters Frozen Empire - twist my arm and the best I can say is ‘OK’ 6/10. Nothing special. The inclusion of three original Ghostbusters adds nothing IMHO. Also not sure what the point was re James Acaster’s character. Didn’t linger long in the memory and overall. Maybe I’m just a miserable old get these days.

Best line…from Kill Gil

E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt) - loved the way Homer found himself trapped under the tractor so many times.

The only thing Xabi hasn’t come though, is a period of poor results and lots of his successful team’s players being sold, like Amorim has. Amorim’s built and then re-built successful teams - not saying Xabi couldn’t do that, but Amorim has. Just feels like its a bit early in Xabi’s career and therefore slightly riskier than Amorim

I’m getting firm on Amorim

I find Chris Ramsey as equally unfunny as Jason Manford - they both fall in the ‘Lenny Henry Laughter’ category

Chris Ramsey his equally unfunny missus, Rosie Ramsey Frank Hester

After much Googling I discovered the testimonial game that I can just about remember going to. My mum took me - Gerry Byrne - think it was Steve Heighway’s first game for Liverpool. Can anyone confirm that please?

Went to the same school as him, Evered Avenue in Walton. He was sixth form whilst I was in the first year. Remember a five-a-side tournament where teams from each year played each other. Lower years got goal starts based on the year-gap. Our team got a five goal start and in 5 minutes we were 6-5 down and Fairclough had scored them all. Fucking flat track bully!

Possibly mentioned? But this shit about a striker being entitled to fall down in the box if he’s felt a contact? Fuck off!!!

You know……I rather enjoyed that post

Also went to Sir Roger’s testimonial - 55,000 crowd - mental!
