After banging in the two screamers last week, he'll be linked with everyone for the next few months, I imagine. Although he probably was anyway.

Don't think there's anything concrete at all though.

You'd think it would be that easy, but it's so clear that the two main culprits enjoy the sniping so much that it won't happen. And to be clear, I'm talking about the two who think they're in the right but literally never are, they pounce on posts they don't like and act as if they're the solution, when in fact they're the cancer of the entire thread. They know exactly who they are as do the rest of us, and they should cut it the f out. This thread always had an element of humour to it, and this pair are doing their best to ruin that.

But you stay out of it all, right?

Apparently Wijnaldum got a knock in training but should be fine to start. Lovren and Sturridge the only lads unlikely to feature.

Was Sturridge a surprise really?

He wouldn't be starting anyway but figured he'd have recovered from his illness by now, unless something else has happened him that I've missed.

Does every single one of your posts have to have some sort of hostility to it? If you want to talk football then do so, most of us just want to get the thread back on track anyway. There's no need to be trying to antagonise posters all the time.

Jesus ****ing christ can nobody mention Sturridge's name without some **** getting in a huff about it

It is pathetic

I'm relatively new to this thread/forum but from the first moment I had a debate with someone about Johnny Giles and it got met with a couple of funny gifs and thanks from pals of the person I was debating with and straight away I thought ah feck this.

But having stuck with it you can see some good posters on here, mainly spoiled by in-fighting and people agreeing with the poster rather than the post and backing each other up when anyone disagrees with their online buddy.
Sure a group of people can't always have the exact same thoughts on everything but they always back each other up so either there is a clique or there is a group of fellas who share a brain.

So what inevitably happens then is a few others can see whats going on and get pissed off and then one clique becomes two and it snowballs.

That is what has happened and the thread/forum has gone tits up because of it.

There's feck all agreement on this thread. Even when we're winning there's no consensus.
Everyone's to blame. None are better than anyone else. We're all just a bunch of ****heads.
We really are the worse.

Joke joke joke :-D

Glico Man

No, its anyone and everyone who participates fault. I mean ffs most people here I'd imagine are in fact adults, so act like it. Someone mentions something you don't like, or has a dig or a pop, just move on. Stop acting like fcuking children and genuinely ruining what is an otherwise decent thread.

"But he said..." So fcuking what if he said something you don't like, big fcuking deal... grow up and move on.

If you really feel the need to say anything, take it to DM or some other place where only you care about what you say. The rest of us can continue on with our merry lives while you waste yours on some crap some person you don't know said, and you take umbrage with it.

I used to love reading this thread for the various opinions and thoughts of other Liverpool fans (and other clubs fans ofc), but its become a toxic hell in the last year or so. Feel like I'm in a primary school class sometimes reading the tripe posted most days.

But in a serious response there is nothing wrong with no one agreeing with each other. It's a good thing for an interesting thread. What's not good is posters ganging up on one other poster all the time.

Of course. As long as it's cordial.
But I'm not sure there really is any ganging up.
Anyway The beef needs to be squashed.

Can we just nuke this thread from orbit and start anew. An utopian thread not this dystopian wasteland.

What will I give up for lent? The Liverpool thread is a strong contender the way this is going. We need a game badly, preferably with a moreno clanger so everyone can agree he is a liability

We're not allowed to all agree. I'll be the dissenting voice of reason.

mav79

For as bad as Mahrez has been this year, I wouldn't be too confident of Milner up against him. And with Vardy, Musa and Gray our defence will have to be switched on all game against balls over the top. Moreno might not be the worst person to have in the team.

Beasty

Tell you what guys. This thread is about to come to an end. I've just had to sort some stuff out in the Arsenal thread and will do the same in the new Liverpool thread if you like.

Of course I would prefer not to have to, so let's see if we can all get on without having any digs. You guys support the same team. You may have different views on how that team should play/perform, and that is absolutely fine. However please discuss it all in a civil manner

Any questions PM me

Thanks

More regulation is not needed, just a bit of cop on.

Leicester are an absolute shambles at the moment. We should be putting them away without much fuss. Nothing surprises me with LFC, quite possible Leicester will put in a massive performance, but I'm pretty confident against them.

Glen McAuley a 17 year from Dublin signed his first pro contract today.

Born in 2000 God I feel old now.

Meet the Academy: Glen McAuley

Glen McAuley, in his own words, 'likes scoring goals'.

The Dublin-born striker’s total of 13 so far in 2016-17 makes him the U18s’ leading marksman in what is his first season with Liverpool.

Earlier in the campaign, Neil Critchley praised McAuley’s work ethic and labelled a player who turns 17 later this month an ‘old-fashioned centre-forward who always puts himself in goalscoring positions’.

“When he does that, more often than not he finishes,” added the U18s boss

I remember Glen from when I dated his grandmother

when she was still young!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:pac:

Yup. We should get at least two goals.
If Slimani is back for them we may need more!
Who do we have down for the CB pairing?

If Lovren isn't fit I'd expect it to be Lucas with Matip. Lovren is touch and go according to Klopp in the presser earlier.

I'd expect Lucas will be there.
I still can't believe they sacked Ranieri before the second leg at home.
He should really have gone after loss to Swansea.
It feels like good Karma to give them a hiding but an injury time Sturridge winner will do. 2-5 my prediction.

Going by your beliefs, You'd think that you would show more support for Sturridge.:)

J Mysterio

Now lads, I want you all to have a good breakfast tomorrow. Report back with details.

This thread used to be good. The last year or that it's gotten so bad it's painful to post. I like to let the thread build up so I can have a good read over a few pages about Liverpool. About 2/3 years ago you couldn't leave the thread for more than a day or it would have 5+ pages of news built up and you'd have to go back over it... But it was good reading, because you were getting news and discussion about what you came for.

Recently it's getting to the stage where you can leave the thread for a few days and there'll be 2/3 pages built up at most. I left it for 3 days and just read back today and saw that there was 5 pages unread. I thought, lovely, a bit of proper football talk finally! 3 pages of it were fighting over cliques. It's as plain as day that posters are not coming onto this thread because of this ****. I've brought it up before but I'm literally sick of it.

Augeo and Potential underachiever have actually killed this thread.

Augeo has some good Liverpool discussion but just can't seem to understand that posters are messing with him, not "giving him sh1t" as he says.

Potential underachiever is just a fcuking moron who's only aim is to attack people and bring the thread down.

Mr Alan and Luckylloyd when Rodgers was in charge was the height of hatred i had for a poster, but you could actually have a discussion with them about Liverpool.

I'll be banned in the morning but I'm so sick of this thread and boards as whole that i couldn't give a flying fcuk and Ill never be back after this anyway. Boards has deteriorated so badly because of mods punishing the wrong posters and not the likes of Underachiever that it'll be gone in the next year or 2.

Whoevers in charge overall has really fcuked up a good thing by letting the wrong people run it.

machiavellianme

So long hefferboi!
I, like you, rarely frequent these parts anymore for lack of discussion.
I tried to follow the "chat" for a while, but realised it's just a needless tangent.
There are still great posts from the likes of Harry or whatever mike65 calls himself these days along with a few others - giving updates on the reserves and youths which I don't have the time to follow.
But overall, this thread isn't what it used to be. I only dip in on match days (and those of our rivals) or after something big has broken to see opinions now. Even at that, I'm often left puzzled.
Like today, when I realised we're not playing till Monday

8-10

End of an era here. Ive been following the thread for a few years now reading nearly every post although not posting too much myself.

Will still be around boards and the match threads but this one about to hit 10k posts I think it's a good time to stop and not follow the next one that comes up.

I'm not a regular poster so I'm not saying this to have any affect, I actually just wanted to post so I could acknowledge that I've enjoyed following the conversation here over the past few years and it's been my primary source of Liverpool info and 'breaking' news.

Not going to go into the reasons why as it's clear to everyone over the past 2 weeks. But overall this thread has been great - it's just time to stop following.

YNWA - let's go batter the Champions on Monday

PS: Sturridge v Firmino: discuss...

D0NNELLY

When is the next feedback thread due? Summer?

First item, ban off topic shíte.
You thinking there's clicks? Off topic
You commenting on other posters? Off topic
Zero tolerance. Thread will soon be cleared of the gobshítes.. never know, Kess may come back!

Apparently the problem is wise-cracking and funny gifs, and not at all posters who shriek incessantly about other posters who they happen to disagree with and creepily compare them to a gang of prison rapists from a movie. Differences of opinion are completely verboten, and must result in torrents of vitriol and spite, as is only right. Once the thread is cold and silent and utterly devoid of anything resembling fun or humour (football is a desperately serious business, after all, enjoyment is completely inappropriate), then everything will be fine.

I don't know what a tracker mortgage is.

Football is finally back this weekend. Thank Jesus!

Although not exactly looking forward to the Leicester game from a potential result standpoint.

Hopefully it's the same midfield/attack as the Spurs game. Firmino central is key.

Osmosis Jones

Could really do with a win. I'm worried we'll have to get top 3 for Champions League, United could go all the way in Europa, especially with the draw that's been laid out. If we get it together realistically the end to our season isn't too bad, get back to the form before Christmas and we'll get top 3.

Hopefully the break from games and Klopp having time to refocus the players on what they need to do (shoutout to Henderson for this also) should set us up nicely for this game.

Some of the stories coming out about Ranieris management during the last few months should also see Leicester being really up for this game also.

I expect a cracker of a game with us barely edging it due to Leicesters getting Ranieris 'monkey' off their back.

Unless there's injuries I can't see any good reason to change the team that battered Spurs. And it was a battering. I'm still gutted we didn't put at least 5 past them in the first half but we didn't and played the second half perfectly. We've lost games from 2-0 up from trying to score more so it was nice to see us be sensible for once.

The one thing I am worrying about is we've been very rusty after international breaks and this one has been just as long if not longer.

OwaynOTT

I honestly can't see anything other than a win on Monday. Just going in the form, we've collecting six times as many points as Leicester this colander year.

Yeah but we've also let a lot of points fall through the gaps.

I think the nearly season in 13/14 may have irreperably damaged all our brains.

If you're getting fed up remember to make judicious use of the Ignore function.
Works wonders to clear some of the clutter out of the thread.

I've mostly used it to block ****-stirrers from other fanbases but if you want to engage in some friendly fire neither I nor anyone else would judge you for it at this point.

What I'd really love to see would be some key-word based filters. Some posters are grand but it'd be nice if you could block posts of theirs which contain certain buzzwords.
