  • looks like he might win one less trophy than the ( other ) specialist in failure

  • You're right. Let's just save time and give it to the those that flout FFP by the biggest margin...

    The only reason why your lot haven't been pulled up (yet) is because you haven't played in Europe for a while. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/mar/05/liverpool-champions-league-financial-fair-play

  • ...yeah with a squad that has not the benefit of CL money or subsequent buys for what, five years?
    #cutyourcloth
    #brokenrecord

    It's just not fair is it? Like I said earlier we should have been made to play meaningless games every couple of weeks to balance things out.

  • Mike, I'm assuming that the meaningless games you're referring to are the Europa League games? If so, it would make me wonder why Atletico, Porto, Benfica et al bother with it? Perhaps it's the arrogant PL clubs that consider participating in Europe a nuisance or are they just being bitter for missing out on a CL spot

  • They played far fewer matches than all the other top 7 teams. Moreover, Rodgers has bought the following:

    Borini - 12 mil
    Illori - 7 mil
    Assaidi - 3.5 mil
    Luis Alberto - 7 mil
    Aspas - 8 mil
    Sakho - 17 mil

    Those players have either been on loan or hardly been used this season. I'll wager most football fans have never heard of Illori, Assaidi or Aspas. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if a good many Liverpool fans were unaware of their existence!

    Most RS fans seem to believe sincerely that Rodgers has been starved of resources, though.

    Stick that on Festus' bullshit post about Libpool not spending....

    You're making a non point about "who'd heard of them?!". Its all about performance. It's a clear fact as Brenda has sought to bring in loan players himself as those gone we're nowhere near ready. I'd say Borini, Assaidi (and Wisdom) have done pretty well at their respective clubs. Alberto has seen limited football. I'd say Aspas has been complete garbage. His history before joining was scoring 1 in 3 games for Celta Vigo and virtually keeping them up in Spain's top league. Sakho's fee was one of desperation - over priced by £10M.

    Your point only validates what I've said: Due to a lack of CL football you have a glass ceiling on the kind of players that you can attract without spunking stupid money to make the next level up (ask Chelsea and city in their early days of petro-money)...Brenda missed all of his top targets to CL teams i.e. walk straight into the first team. The rest you've mentioned are young gambles....you know that thing that clubs not playing top tier footy have to do in the hope of turning a pearl. Who'd heard of Stones, coleman or Xabi Alonso?

    Hang on, weren't you the tit that poopoo'd when I said a while back that Raheem would make the Eng-errrr-laaaand squad based on his performance?

    This is Illori:

    #TalentRadar Team of the Week includes the Best Young Players of the week across Europe’s top 6 leagues (i.e Premier Legaue, Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1 & Eredivisie). All players in the lists were 21 and below at the start of the season. For more information on what is #TalentRadar, read this.

    We've been out gunned and gazumped consistenly for the last couple of years financially by Spurs, Doortmund and Chelsea on top drawer players is a fact. Lets see what happens if we're lucky enough to get the players near the top of list....

    "The club may be able to write off a loan made by their owners Fenway Sports Group to repay a £38m loan taken out to develop stadium plans by the former proprietors Tom Hicks and George Gillett. "

    Their shadow still looms large...

    No jaw. Maybe that s because other european leagues are so stitched up, that EL teams are fully resigned to that being all can get?
    Many see it as a joke...just like the governing bodies do: Changing to the league system, weird rules regarding odd numbers of games, parachuting CL failures in randomly and little financial recompense even for the winners is why it's disliked. They've only just seen the light by offering a CL place to the winners.

    Make it start with a league then go pure knock out and it gets love.

    I have no idea what led to you that condom video but if you need help there are people that can help.

    mikec needs to win something this year :)

  • It's nice to see that all the Scousers have managed to re-acquaint themselves with those well used plastic bedsheets.

    What excuses are you going to use next year? Will be fun to see*.

  • Terry confirmed for another year, Lampard on the brink of signing and Cole still pending. Costa negotiations in full swing. Looks like Chelsea want to conclude most of their business before the WC.

  • I think it's refreshing to see that all the Liverpool fans who appeared from nowhere have vanished back there.

  • ^ So much this.

  • Yep.

    Just saw the Belgium squad for the WC, not bad..

    Goalkeepers: Thibaut Courtois, Simon Mignolet, Koen Casteels, Silvio Proto

  • Villa have won two prestigious matchday programme awards.

    The Villa News & Record has been handed the gong of 'Most Improved Programme' by the Independent View, the magazine of the NPC - Northern Programme Club.

    It also took home the prize of 'Best Feature' for Villa Vault - a comprehensive look-back at previous years of the claret and blues in the Premier League era.

    Fuck yeah - I knew this was a good season.

    No. I mean just random games against other English non-European participants.
    The Europa league games are often more entertaining than the CL games

    It's gonna be a good world cup for non-plastic, plastic Spain fans...

  • Amazing squad...

  • On a more serious note. How has this Scudamore worm managed to keep his job. What does one need to do to get fired by the FA?

  • It's gonna be a good world cup for non-plastic, plastic Spain fans...

    wow, that is some squad. I struggle to see a weak link. They could play the second string and still beat most teams.

    Liverpool. Or failing that, Leicester

    2) Manager of the year

    I'll be in Mallorca for the semis and the final, hope they make it that far.
