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.

I want him inside me

Signed a new contract last year, which was never announced?
Long-term as well apparently?

I was kidding like. Didn't fancy Bosnia but scared of nobody. Hungary is who everyone wanted.
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.

What's this Krul and the programme thing about?!

Feel sorry for Dzeko missing out on the Euros.
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.

I love a Shankly reference.
Aye. The only great manager ever. No one else ever won trophies. No one.

I bet Dom is the kinda guy who shares s*** like this on Facebook:

The epitome of romance in football. What a beautiful day that was

I take it back I hope he fails big time, LFC fans are the worst of the worst.
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.

He hasn't turned into the top class keeper we had hoped he would, but he's still miles better than Elliot ffs.

Krul has been getting injuries for the past few seasons. Developing more in injury proneness than in goalkeeping skills.
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.

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.

It's amazing that people here rightly moan about status quo, how it's all boring, how 3 of the 4 CL semi-finalists are pretty much decided before it kicks off...how all big teams monopolize all best players, etc and yet say : "It's a disastrous career decision for him. He's so much better than that."
For me the most boring this of modern football is that all the best players/coaches etc go on the usual 3-4 clubs .. Real,PSG,Barca,Bayern ... I miss the old good days when Batistuta played for the Fiorentina...Or when Parma had a boss collection of players.
This is a good move for every football romantic whose love for the game hasn't been eaten alive or eradicated by $$ and formalities yet. This move by Klopp is a slim glimmer of hope that there is still romance, emotion, and novelty left in footy.
For that alone, I applaud Jurgen, and I want him to succeed. Football will be the winner. Nothing to do with Liverpool, even if he had been appointed as manager of Fiorentina/Valencia/St. Ettiene, Vitoria Guimares, Krasnodar, etc I would have said the same.
A great man, taking a lesser side to challenge the status quo and the oil tycoons.
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.

The whole 'This Doesn't Slip', then him literally slipping over, really makes me think there could be some kind of higher power.
Poetic justice in the Oxford dictionary should have clips of Gerrard doing both.

The woman who offered them to me is lovely too. Season ticket Palace fan who doesn't know a great deal about football, but loves her team and listened to me with an open mind while I politely told her to enjoy this while she can.
I wasn't a dick about it. Honestly.

Especially so soon after the on-pitch huddle saying something along the lines of 'we can't let this slip'.

His biggest fault is he is a competent manager who successfully implements Ashleys idea by various means that ultimately hurts the club in the long run. Normal managers would either quit the job or fail to implement. Whether the blame is more on Ashley or Pardew is debatable, but his time at palace proves that he is a competent manager and did have ambition. The Cabaye purchase would not happen if he didnt push for it to the extreme, and it brings them huge rewards. This would never happen to us.
I support the sack pardew campaign for our club's long term future. That doesnt mean i think he is a bad manager. In fact he is competent, stucked in the middle, which hurt us most by prolonging Ashleys era and maximizing his investment return. If he is a very talented manager, he could bring us to top 6 despite having limited resources. If he is a s*** manager, we should have relegated for long and Ashley should sell the club already.
Personally i wont hate him because he is not the one who initiated the idea. He is just an executor.
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.

This guy man. Such a dissapointment in every way.
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.

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.
