Admitting being childish is not an admission of deep regret, or remorse.

It is imo a clear display of regret/remorse over an inappropriate act/gesture.

No need to get all p1ssy. He mentioned 4 names, he wasn't pi1ssing and moaning in the media that they didn't apologise to him.

Surely you can distinguish between calling someone a poof and bending over saying give us one up the arse on the football field. Fowler crossed the line in Le Saux opinion and i agree with him. I summed up all I have to say on it.

It would depend on the context, i havent read the quote but if thats your interpretation of it then I'm happy to concede he was remorseful years after the incident.

Can't we just discuss some football and stuff?

I put fifty cent on a 250/1 scorecast so that's reason enough for me to watch it. :pac:

Can't we just discuss some football and stuff? I'm looking forward to seeing how the Chelsea game pans out. A friendly in hot conditions won't be too illustrative of too much,but still, another step towards the start of the league.

Popping along to it later here, so i'll give yee the inside scoop after... or in the morning...

€140m for 1 player, madness. We've spent a lot of money (although might still even make a profit this window) but still, shows the gap in finances really between the very rich (us) and the crazy rich. I'm assuming there will be a 300k per week pay deal too, so more than 3x our transfer record and twice as much as we've ever paid anyone really.

We have to overachieve to achieve, and no way around that. I'm glad we have Klopp in charge though as a different manager won't change the fact that we can't afford to pay what the likes of utd can for players so we have to try and compete through different means, which can be done, albeit not on a close to level playing field.

I think United are throwing the kitchen sink on getting back in the top 4. Risky business as if they dont next season they could start to fall foul of financial fair play without offloading another couple of big earners.

Just saw on F365 that Arbeloa is a free agent now. Could do worse than have him as solid backup at fullback for a year or 2.

Did he not sign for one of the Italian teams?

No Sturridge, Wijnaldum, Origi, Benteke for #LFC v #CFC. They've stayed in Palo Alto to continue training. Clyne - tight hamstring

:pac:

Balotelli insists that his mind was made up once he learned of Hull’s interest.

“It’s always been my dream to play for Hull Town,” the former Liverpool striker told Soccer on Sunday. “I’m nearly sure I spent an amazing weekend here many years ago. I remember accidentally driving my Ferrari into a lake while texting Noel Gallagher. A kind local towed me out. Nice food, nice people. Might have been Leeds actually, now that I think of it.”

“I just want to enjoy my football,” he added. “I’m tired of taking football too seriously. My message to my new teammates will be, just have fun. Better to lose and have a laugh on the pitch, than win and be all serious. And if we get relegated, we’ll do it the Hull Way, with smiles on our faces.”

I'd say they are probably not in any real danger of that in fairness. There is a point where they would be, but they'd need to flop badly and continue to spend for the next few years to be in danger. I think their biggest pain point from missing out next season again would be the damage to the adidas deal as I think it takes a huge hit if not in the CL, so even more damaging than the money from the CL itself missing.

Don't like this comment at all to be honest. You can have no idea how much this might have affected Le Saux on both a personal and professional level.

Just because Fowler played for Liverpool doesn't mean you have to defend him indefinitely. He acted like a homophobic arsehole in this incident and I wouldn't be at all sure that he's even one bit sorry about it.

Perhaps there's a generation gap at play, but a gay footballer was always verboten and frowned upon, and perhaps always will be.. even Ronaldo hasn't come out yet.

Ballotelli is a lost cause. The club should put him on ebay with no reserve.

Umaro

Saw this over on Reddit and thought it was interesting. Back in 2007, World Soccer magazine made a list of the top 50 teenage players. Two Liverpool players on there, neither amounted to much.

But still they picked a lot of players that turned out to be world class, e.g. Bale, Kroos, Aguero, Di Maria, Ozil, Benzema, Sanchez.

BorneTobyWilde

Higuain transfer is crazy. And to think we thought we had a chance, his move to Napoli for 40m euros was crazy price, this move to Juventus is Juventus going full retard, you should never go full retard.

5starpool

Somewhat interesting article from Melissa Reddy on the pre-season training. Nothing too surprising in here, but worth a quick read I thought.

Linked with AC Milan, but doesn't look like it's gone beyond that stage yet.

There's no way Pogba is worth that. No ****ing way. Sure they flogged him off for 800k a few years ago. Ive seen him a number of times for Juventus and i watched him closely at the European Cup. The mind boggles really.

Stones to city for 50million is nearly as bad

James Pearce confirmed just there that klopp said he sent Sakho home for repeatedly breaking club rules. If that's true sakho needs to grow the f*ck up and act like the professional he is supposed to be.

Wow. He must have been really pissing Klopp off. Sakho must feel a right tit now.

Shîte just realised the match isn't on Sky Sports tonight, is it on YouTube or anywhere else I can see it?

tinpib

Yep, looks like he needs to cop de fcuk on alright.

I like the way Klopp clarified there wasn't an argument with the player, "I spoke. You cannot argue when only one person is speaking".

I signed up for €6 (for one month) and cancelled straight away. Ill have the rest of the pre-season for 6 quid and wont be charged again

I reckon Klopp could sort out the Palestine/Israel conflict.

Hopefully 5Starpool will bring the thread back something nice from his holidays.

One of those giant candy sticks that giant candy sticks that dislocate your jaw on first bite, before inevitably getting left up beside the microwave, half wrapped, until your mother throws it away two weeks later.

It would be a nice distraction before the season kicks off.

Klopp

“He nearly missed the departure of the plane, he missed a session and was late for a meal.

“We have some rules and we have to respect them. If somebody doesn't respect it or somebody gives me the feeling he is not respecting it then I have to react that's all."

Sakho needs to sort out his MamaDo's from his MamaDont's right now. It's getting out of hand.

MamaDo's:

Lift forwards out of it
Score against Dortmund
Painting and decorating

MamaDont's:

Make a thick out of the boss
Miss training
Take Yokes

Oh golly........what a strange phrase to use, anyway you said there was little or nothing about other players, I gave you four names in one article, 4 names is all of a sudden not enough, I wont bother replying to someone whose trying to take the piss out of me during an exchange of opinions. Lets just agree to disagree and leave it there.

What's interesting is that they weren't the instigators of the abuse Le Saux received at Chelsea in his early career. Paul Elliott has spoken about the core of that Chelsea group, if you didn't get on with the London boys you made yourself a target for their antics: Vinnie Jones, Dennis Wise, Kerry Dixon and Dave Beasant. There were a few arse lickers who followed their lead and Andy Townsend was one of them. Le Saux had a short fuse and he made himself an easier target by reacting to their comments.

Shocked there isn't a match thread for this, not sure this thread will be able to handle all the traffic.

I've never seen so many men worried about other mens hair

The pitch is really making passing hard out there.

Sakho can have no complaints. Klopp had to take action.

Hopefully it can be sorted out. He seems like a bit of a nuisance though

Vicxas

Looks like I don't miss much by not getting up for the match.
