I think if the team spirit is good you can afford 1 stroppy striker. The players know what he is like.

It's not unusual for a star player - who can change a game - to get preferential treatment when it comes to judging their poor team ethic. Look at Ronaldo for instance. By no means does Sturridge contribute as much as Ronnie in terms of output, but then he is not as big an a5sehole either.

3rd last. Only on season 1.

There's nothing cryptic there. We must be mindful of fellow posters thoughts, some don't think Kolo deserves the praise he gets.

Augeo do you come on here looking to antagonise people? If so, why?

It is untenable when the team comes first, which is absolutely the case in Klopp teams, and has never been at all relevant in Real Madrid.

Pondscum? Are you for real? What the **** is wrong with you?

And you know the 'kid' thing annoys everyone so why keep using it?

Bit sensitive there old boy, nothing at all wrong with me. There are 100s of posters on here, a few are scum, that's life.

I could ask what is wrong with yourself and one or two of your chums but I simply couldn't give less of a sh1t so I don't bother :cool:

If you can't play senior hurling get off the pitch lads

It doesn't annoy everyone, I've pointed out it's a term of endearment to avoid any confusion I highlighted that again when I used the term just there.

I was being nothing but civil when remarking that we must be careful not to upset people with the Toure praise as some feel he gets praised in an OTT fashion. A bit like Sturridge, some don't rate his contribution.

Do posters on here hold grudges against/hate people that post here?

Its a bit weird as we don't know who anyone is so in truth you'd be hating a username with a different opinion to you.....

There are posters that annoy me,naturally enough cos we can't all agree on everything. I don't call them 'pondscum' tho. He knows what he's doing...he's trying to get a rise,he's been at it for weeks and it seems it's worked on me so maybe I'm the idiot here. I'll go now or I'll say something I'll probably regret.

What the hell is going on in here? Augeo is going Mr Alan on us. Management changes are so stressful.

I'm sure he'll use the Cark thing, doesn't really cut it as an excuse when you're typing it out.

Can we read anything into Skrtel being made captain yesterday? Is he likely to stay next season as backup?

With Sakho probably out for a while, Toure leaving we'll probably only have Matip/Lovren/Gomez outside other additions...

I wouldn't read into it. It came down to himself and Lovern as the only real candidates and he probably got it on seniority. I mean we've seen Flanagan as captain in recent weeks and I reckon Klopp knows he isn't good enough. Klopp is a master at building cohesion, confidence and showing faith in players. Hopefully the opposite side of that coin is that if the players don't repay that he'll have no issues cutting them loose.

Tiago Ilori to Deportivo La Coruna seems to be a done deal, as is Gotze to Dortmund.

Liverpool's chief scout was running the rule over PSG pair Pastore and Mamadou Doucoure (who Munchengladbach are big on)

Really? I thought Dortmund were adamant that Bayern have to pay the full 30m for Hummels and Gotze won't be used in exchange. Doesn't mean he won't be going there but i'm still holding onto a glimmer of hope.

FIFA have extended Sakho's 30 day ban to a worldwide ban today.

So no cheeky sale to China.

“The chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee has decided to extend the sanction imposed on 28 April 2016 by the chairman of the Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body of UEFA on the French player Mamadou Sakho for an anti-doping rule violation to have worldwide effect in accordance with article 136 ff. of the FIFA Disciplinary Code.

I mean in terms of champions league, league challenging etc

Fair chance we might not even make Europa.

Obviously that could all change if we win the Europa

I wouldn't say so to be honest...Germany is a 2 team league, and he'd be moving from the first to the second, with a very real chance of not winning the league any time soon with the financial advantage Bayern have.

Also Klopp is a huge factor. And at his age, there's plenty of time to return to his childhood club in the future - he may well want to try something different. A new challenge rather than heading backwards.

I'd say it's a pretty close call all things considered.

I don't care how many rulers he has with him. If he, or anybody else, thinks Pastore will go to a club outside champions league he is crazy.

What if it's a shatter resistant ruler?

Pathetic Chelsea. Carrying on like they won something.

When the likes of Leicester are winning the league you know it's one of the worst quality wise.

So Spurs bottled it.

Many thought they'd do it a month ago.

Fair play to Leicester and Ranieri a true gentleman who deserves it.

I hate this "bottling it" ****e.

Bottling it is losing a 10 point advantage.

It isn't not being perfect and it certainly isn't failing to win a title you were never in the driving seat for.

Well done Leicester. Brilliant achievement, but I just cant help thinking back to this time 2 years ago and what could have been....

Turtyturd

Was hoping Spurs would win it but it's great to see the culmination of Leicster's 3-4 year plan. Especially given that the penultimate year involved dicing with relegation.

Leicester kept their nerve no matter what was thrown at them. Spurs never really put the pressure on.

Brilliant. Bravissimo.

Actually I thought tonight's performance by Spurs was one of those rare times when the usually misused term "bottled it" truly applied.

Spurs are light years ahead of us.

I would back them to come close again next year as well.
