Football

Bit of a dilemma, Klopp is a very likeable man who is now employed by a club I strongly detest.

Well done to them for getting him to sign. £7M a year is quite a deal to manage a mid table team with limited aspirations.

No thanks, Mike.

Seems possible though....

Seems highly likely now according to reports!

Rodgers is a chequebook manager, but without the success.

...and at villa will also be without the chequebook. Rodgers or Moyes....FML.

What about Big Sam?

In the country of the blind (ie Wengerland) the one eyed man is king.

The one eye? Talking about Wenger's bum and now cock?....[Leaves thread again.]

Too late for Villa, he's a mackem now. The good ones get snapped up early!

Try this then:

Liverpool supporters (the ones who actually go to games) are planning a protest at the Villa game. They will all be dressing as Klopp .

While Klopps in the Kop does have some potential for headline writers, I am not sure if it would be appropriate for us to show our appreciation for what Brendan is doing at Liverpool when we play them in three weeks. For a start, how would we dress like a diminutive ginger person with a penchant for transsexual prostitutes?

One step clockwise from rentboy attire.

Would that be because the man oozes class? You'll be hard pressed to find any Chelsea fan with a bad word to say about Ancelotti.

Klopp to Bayern and Guardiola to City is apparently all but official.

O'rly?

These short of arrangements have been in place in the Netherlands for the best part of twenty years, if not more.

You gone full Maclaren mode?

Love that Carra is trying to decide who he'd rather have be the next manager Klopp or Ancleotti. Yeah m9 sure fing

...Stick to the garms, Fam. I got the selvedge by the way.

Just incase you haven't all got me on ignore, I'm so happy we managed to secure Jurgen's signature. It's a sign of the mediocrity that has descended on us since '13 that fans have gone overboard recently. Personally I'd have given BR much more time if it looked like there was a plan of any kind on the pitch but buying yet more players in summer (mostly to play 4 at the back and then switching again to 3 stank of managing from game to game just to save his job)...so sacking was the right decision. Just glad they didn't listen to the fans too closely by giving him the elbow during summer as we'd probably be seeing the photos of Fat Sam's lean® as he touches the anfield sign followed by the picture of him sat in the stands holding a jersey with Allardyce on the rear...

Lets hope the plastics/sky generation don't wet the bed too early if we don't manage to win the world cup by April...The squad are waaaaay better than performances suggest. My tips for doing well:

Lallana - presses really well and can operate in tight spaces.
Teixeira - Is young and fucking awesome on the ball, with good vision.

Even Lovren has a chance seeing as he likes an aggressive high line. I love ronald's talk of big clubs...petrodollarz, free stadium and self awareness...

Was talking about how Klopp would do with a football thread legend yesterday. He thinks it'll end badly. I disagreed.

What else was he gonna say?!?

Yup fair enough, I couldn't see it happening but there you go. You must be more positive than the other night?

yes.

"This manager will be the manager to take Liverpool back to the top" cycle begins now. Will be passing through anticipation, excitement, depression and desperation before reaching the realisation that a new manager is needed to take Liverpool back to the top. File with "next season will be our season".

At no point in this cycle will Scousers accept that the famous european nights their grandfathers attended are not coming back to Anfield.

I'd never put you on ignore, Fest.

I attended famous European nights in 2005! Who you calling Grandad?

You need to worry about who your next manager is going to be after The Needy One is given the chop chop.
If you act quickly you might get a certain diminutive Northern Irish man in before he's snapped up by fellow relegation fodder

Like I said later on, well done to Liverpool for getting him. I like him, a lot.

Will he have the answers to get the best out of this squad though? Do you think he'll be flexible enough in his tactics to adapt gegenpressing for the PL. The last manager that played his team that high up the pitch got sacked twice in less than three years.

i think the whole nation should start getting their hopes up about englands chances at the euro's and the next world cup

10th is about it (getting knocked out in the round of 16).
