  1. I can't remember that happening at all. Nor a moment where he should have been sent off. Thought he just got on with doing the simple things most of the game and stayed out of bother. He was on his best behavior no doubt, but there were a couple of incidents of players going down and immediately pointing at him trying to get him in bother. Fat Sam and the inbreds will clearly be trying the same.
  2. Will definitely be targeted next week by the spackems. Norwich tried it today, players going down as soon as they're within a half yard of him trying to get him booked. Absolutely love this kid.
  3. Pjanic and Ibisevic are class, but the likes of Shane Long can really trouble the backline. Also Begovic's handling is very suspect. Ireland will go through. Haven't Bosnia improved since the new manager? Was at the match on Tuesday,and they looked completely out of sorts. Going forward they were OK, if a little predictable. At the back though, they were really really poor. A mixture of inexperience and bad finishing by Cyprus was the only thing that made sure Bosnia qualified. They scored the winner on the counter when Cyprus was desperately pushing for a winning goal. Duric got it, and he's about 9'1. They are obviously better with Dzeko in the team, but defensively I reckon they will struggle.

  5. Counting your chickens before they come home to roost aren't you? Bosnia are fucking shit. Could and should have easily lost to Cyprus on the last day of qualifiers. Their defence is a shambles. I can see Ireland progressing easily.

    England

    I know they've played mostly dross, but looking at that table for the first time in the qualifiers, England have been flawless.
  7. Aye. The only great manager ever. No one else ever won trophies. No one.
  8. Look at this cretin making a recording while the lass and mutants sleep. And the dancing
  9. The epitome of romance in football. What a beautiful day that was
  10. That says more about you than any LFC fan. First time I'll do this on here, but you're on a toon forum talking s*** about Keegan. You lack a working functioning brain. Loser? Hope Gerrard's slip haunts you every night. Why would it haunt me? I've been there for many, many trophies won, and a few lost, just one of those things. I'm quite happy just to read this thread, it always makes me laugh, but HTT saying Klopp was a modern day Keegan, ffs, I had to respond to that. Surely, lacking a 'working functioning brain' would have me agree with him, when, imo, that would be delusional as well. No because anyone who has a 'working functioning brain' could see what Keegan achieved here was phenomenal and can only be viewed as a success. Yes, he took your club forward for a while, if you regard that as success then fine. For me success would have been to stick at it and win something, but he didn't. Very different from Klopp, simple as. Keegan came in when the chips were down. He galvanised the club, players, fans and the entire city. You lot are hoping Klopp's appointment will have the same effect after the dogshit served up by Rodgers, Doglish and Hodgson. The comparisons with Keegan are endless except for pedantic liverpool fans who have once again piped up out the woodwork with sensationalist over the top letters and all that bollocks.
  11. He hasn't turned into the top class keeper we had hoped he would, but he's still miles better than Elliot ffs.
  12. He dislocated his shoulder falling awkwardly. Not sure what that has to do with injury proneness. This sounds like a nasty knee injury either landing badly or twisting with his studs in the ground. http://i.imgur.com/agwSv4P.png He has missed a fair bit of games through injuries the past few seasons. You don't see many other GKs out of that number of games being crocked. Oh yeah of course he has. I just meant that it's more impact injuries he gets rather than recurring muscle problems like Steven Taylor for example.

  14. Aye. Because Liverpool haven't spent big sums of money on utter dross, and don't have to spend big again to give him a squad he can work with rather than the current shower of s****. Romance my arse Having said that, and regardless of how much I personally can't stand Liverpool and all the sentimental bollocks that comes with it, I don't begrudge the average fan the glimmer of hope they're been given with his appointment. Every football fan deserves hope, as that's the whole reason this sport exists in the first place.
  15. Poetic justice in the Oxford dictionary should have clips of Gerrard doing both.
  16. So you don't remember us flirting with relegation until the last couple of games of the season while he was in charge? We needed two massive fuck-ups by Bosingwa and Green, and a goal by Tiendalli for Swansea to save our skin.
  17. Yup. His first few games, that pass to Cisse at Villa and his virtuoso against Chelsea, seem such a long time ago now. So much optimism about him at that time. He was absolutely awful in that run where we as a team where terrible. Pardew stuck with him as a #10 for the next 20 or so games and apart from 45 minutes against Benfica, he was routinely awful. Yeah but he was superb in those two games I mentioned. When he first arrived. Giving us hope that we had something really special. When he took Ashley Cole's pants down was one of the most exciting footballing moments at SJP I can remember for a long time.
