  1. Further proof that he's the new Henry rather than Torres or Suarez.
  2. More Henry than Suarez or Torres. @Ombudsam
  3. This is forest and we are us. Our nerve will fail as we approach the 90th.
  4. He's now playing for Ferenvacos in Hungary. His manager is Robbie Keane.
  5. This is far more true than most statements to this effect. Omg.
  6. More or less. A winner will always have the aura of winning. Klopp had aura even when he wasn't winning. There aren't many, if any, who could replicate that. But the talk of aura is nonsense and putting the cart before the horse. Win games and you have it. Lose games and it falters. This applies to football teams and managers alike.
  7. He actually did. He was bumped to the back of the queue with each new manager and eventually ended up being the preferred choice next to Ronaldo each time anyway.
  8. It's a great statement. If you were a bayern fan you'd be dead proud to have him as your manager in that moment.

    Welcome VvD

    Think it really took off with Beckenbauer.

    I'd have Agger in 6th and Joe in 7th (I think Agger put together more extended runs otherwise he'd be ahead) and skrtel ahead of Lovren but otherwise yes. Ferdinand and Campbell were both better than Terry who only ever excelled in a low block and was greatly reliant on Carvalho to deal with all counter attacks in behind. For England both were slightly better in a somewhat defensive setup but Terry would be torn apart having to defend in the setups Campbell and Ferdinand played in. Van Dijks setup is basically an extreme version of what they were holding together. The amount of territory VVD has been asked to cover without support is ridiculous. And on top of that he's been top in interceptions, clearances, headers and forward passes.
  11. Subtle observational humour is having a tough time in this thread. Let's put out some feelers. "What smells better than it tastes? A nose." "Peeing yourself during a wet dream is literally a dream come true." "What's brown and sticky? A stick."
  12. You got me there. I had completely forgotten about him. Wiki claims he was with us for five years and never played a game for us. Must be a weird way to grow from 18 to 23 years old. He ended up at wolves in the end
  13. Arsenal dropping points again. Looks like 80 points will win it this year. If we were anywhere near normal levels, we'd be cruising to the title.
  14. Signing young midfielders from Brazil? Not for nearly 20 years.

    Milos Kerkez

    Did he underlap as much as he should though?
  16. Deserves a proper bump
  17. I suppose it has been hard to adapt to the fact that low blocks and long balls were only invented this summer.
  18. Bald bald meff him
  19. I don't think there's any way slot goes directly from Liverpool FC to fecking spurs.
  20. I think there's plenty of reasons to dislike ferguson but trying to smear him with Ratcliffe's racist brush by [silence =] association is not a path I think anyone should be going down.
  21. Why is he obliged to speak out though? He's retired and has never worked with INEOS or Ratcliffe. Is Klopp similarly obliged to speak on all matters lfc till he dies or what's the cutoff?
  22. I like Sunderland. For unknown reasons I ended up watching a bunch of their games back when they had niall quinn and Kevin Philips up front and lead the first division by a mile. Felt like a last gap of genuinely old school English football that was still actually positive football and good to watch.
  23. The leaner you are, the faster you will gain muscle when put on the right program. A lot of skinny people would bulk up far faster than prime Schwarzenegger could ever dream of. 9 kilos in 8 months is quite a lot, but not unrealistic on an ambitious program if he has the genetic disposition for it (crouch for example, simply could not gain weight however he tried). He'd have to be eating truckloads of food to compensate for his cardiac activity and calorie burn, but I wouldn't call it impossible. If it had said 6 kilos in that time period, I wouldn't bat an eyelid, tbh.
  24. EJECT THE NORMAN INTERLOPERS
