Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014 - Mod Note in OP, 1/09

For Villa I'd go.....


_____________________Mignolet_______________________

Manquillo__________Lovren_________Sakho_______________Moreno

_______________________Gerrard________________________

_______________Hendo____________Lallana_______________

______________________Coutinho________________________

________________Sterling________Balotelli_____________


Villa have played us off the park the last 2 years, I'd hope with Hendo and Lallana in there that they will get in amongst their midfielders and not let them walk through us again, I'm very nervous about this game, even with the team I picked there is a lot of question marks, it'd be Lallana's first game, Balo only settling in, Sterling playing up top etc etc.... I can see it being a bit of a nail biter.

I would do similar except perhaps give Hendo the night off against Ludo and play Llama in both matches, also would give Skittles a shake against Ludo.

Good shout to include Laser but would have him as left sided attacker against Ludo

I don't think Allen deserves to be dropped but I suppose Lallana offers more in an attacking sense.

Harsh on Allen all the same.

Read garra's post in isolation, and was staring at if for almost about 30 seconds, thinking, "Who the hell is Ludo?"

I've seen a pic and can confirm he is a ride. Almost as rideable as Emre Can, and that is saying something.

Heh heh.

Really enjoyed those last few pages. I miss a lot of those names too. Felt like I stopped reading for a few months and they all disappeared at once or something, though I imagine it was drips and drabs and I just didn't notice. Mike65 used to always say interesting things though.

Also LOVED the random bit of knowledge about Raif. Brilliant to be reading your posts for years and not have that bit of basic knowledge. Just don't get surprises like that on twitter !

It must be a retro team, and they meant Craig Johnston who played in 85.

daithijjj

Dont know why but this thread this evenin reminded of this wonderful passage in The Naked Gun 2 1/2....

Lt. Frank Drebin: Hector Savage. From Detroit. Ex-boxer. His real name was Joey Chicago.
Ed Hocken: Oh, yeah. He fought under the name of Kid Minneapolis.
Nordberg: I saw Kid Minneapolis fight once. In Cincinnati.
Lt. Frank Drebin: No you're thinking of Kid New York. He fought out of Philly.
Ed Hocken: He was killed in the ring in Houston. By Tex Colorado. You know, the Arizona Assassin.
Nordberg: Yeah, from Dakota. I don't remember it was North or South.
Lt. Frank Drebin: North. South Dakota was his brother. From West Virginia.
Ed Hocken: You sure know your boxing.
Lt. Frank Drebin: All I know is never bet on the white guy.
[Nordberg nods in agreement]

I hope someday all the people out there who have contributed to these threads, the long-time posters who are not around now, I hope they come back. And everybody who chips in now and again but has a busy schedule aka life. And everybody just has a nice time.

I have never played this consol game and I still know Johnson is 20 points above his grade.

It deserved to be burnt to the ground.

edit - just scanned that Borini piece. Hmm he's winning me round, that he is on the CL squad list suggests he has a chance to impress Rodgers.

I've been meaning to post this for ages, and what the heck, now seems like the right time.

Spotted a guy wearing this tee when I was at Indiependence Festival last month, so had to make him stop for a photo.

Happy Panda Poster Memorial Day, guys.

People actually believing that post about Johnson.....

Ah in fairness there are probably 2 reasons for that.

1. He jumped ship once match talk was banned from the superthread, and wasn't banned I believe.
2. He was probably before the time of a lot of those discussing.

I'm sure there are loads of others.

Back in the days of 1 superthread per season I did this list up of top posters. Some names here unfamiliar to many now I'd say.

Mike two posts off the 6k. Typical.

I'll never forgive him for closing his account on the number that he did, either. 10 more posts, for feck sake.

He thinks he's 30 again, as well. Has better internet though.

If only he were still around. I guess we'll never know! At least someone else has stepped up to the plate to talk about not celebrating Suarez's goals and update on loans, etc.

Ha. Gotcha. Cool. The linked thread reminds me I enjoyed Leiva's contributions too, who now seems to be gone a year +. He's not banned, so presume I'm okay to mention him :-/

I'd keep Allen in the team for Villa, can't see Sterling being rested and I don't think Coutinho has done enough to keep his place........

I'm in agreement with this......

But would like to see Sterling getting some rest time after the internationals. It's steel we need against Villa, would love to see Lambert go at them and despite not being a good pairing with Balotelli on paper I reckon it might well work a treat

I didn't know that. I only knew Michael Caine when he was already Old.

Bannor...actually did seem to have some connections within the club alright.

Just got fed up with being questioned to death each and every time he said anything, so stopped posting.

Put away the fishing rod heff.

Johnson should be a solid 26 on the next fifa.

Sturridge might be fit for the weekend so it seems the injury is not as bad as first feared

So I guess I'll be a surprise then...

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.
My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

And I bet I am STILL not the first on here...
