Ederson in that picture looks like a lad who used to sell yokes outside a nightclub I went in the 90's down in west Cork.

Who here said that Mané was a victim? (strange to use that term also if I'm being cynical)

Its all the rage with people who opt for the aul faux outrage.

Can often be heard mixed in with other over-the-top phrases such as, "Reprehensible behaviour", "Disgusting", "Disgraceful", and the closing statement, "I hope you're proud of yourself".

You could actually play bingo to these types of people.

Outrageous, vehemently denounce it in the strongest possible terms or variants are favourites also...

I cant really blame Suarez heading to Barca but Can to Juventus makes fcuk all sense to me. Seria A is such an uncompetitive boring league and he will be playing to half empty stadiums more often than not. :

Well that's just a pile of ill informed horsecrap.

I don't agree that a move to Juventus isn't attractive or prestigious, given they're competitive in the Champions League and their history (however stained with corruption), but Juventus have won the last 6 Scudetti on the bounce, and largely comfortably at that.

As for attendances... http://www.espn.co.uk/football/italian-serie-a/story/3027638/serie-a-attendances-continue-to-fall-but-juventus-and-milan-see-crowds-rise.

Serie A's average attendance is less than 2/3 that if the EPL. Hardly surprising, given any Italian will tell you over a drink that their game is rigged.

Mane is the victim is he? 3 match ban not long enough imo, needs to be made an example of.

An example of for what. Mane had all eyes on the ball, he didn't deliberately set out to injure the guy.

Went looking there to see when last the original "knex" logged in - that bastard who caused me to put in the full stop. They haven't made a post in nearly 9 years, but inexplicably logged in a month ago, so I can't even rob the name from them.

Might just opt for a haircut and go with "nex". That lad hasn't logged in since 2004, so fair game I say. Louis van Gaal's balls will always be an option on my radar though.

How long until they provide us with fluid usernames anyway? I want to be able to flipflop between a few, depending on my humour.

I could be Stupid Knexy Flanders when posting in AH, bang out a post or two as Knexi in the Laaaaaaaaaaaaadies Lounge, have a few quiet posts as Sir Paddy Knexsty in the Home Brewing forum, spend my Sundays as Stupid Eggball Touchdown Knex in the NFL forum, before coming back here as the original "Knex." for the usual madness.

I'm actually a ****ing visionary.

Boards was about to have him leave on a Bosman, but they called him onto the bench for a thread about immigration. Wasnt even used.

TAW did an analysis of results when a one of the top 6 goes down to 10 men against 11. They reckon most teams struggle badly when a man down.

Sorry, didn't have time to expand on the post. It's more a response to lads giving out about the 'collapse' against city whereas the tweet shows that it's a common feature where teams go a man down against the top teams.

Are Barca still trying to influence Coutinho, telling him not to play. Some articles about such, they really think they rule the world if that's true.
Hope he starts against Seville, will he, or is Klopp still looking for excuses not to field him.

Cant see any more excuses now, he proved he was fit when he played for Ecuador.

Sh!t or get off the pot time.

Looking at this picture I can't believe we didn't score against this keeper.

I mean where are his instinctive reflexes to block yourself when something is coming at you, in particular your face!

Looks like he's just standing there waiting for it to happen. (I know it's a still and it was actually two players at full pace!)

Has anyone been disappointed with Salah's final ball/finishing? Great pace and positioning but rarely seems to do the right thing. Hopefully he's still finding his feet.

Seems to have a touch of Andy Cole about him.
You can almost see the thought process going through his head at times, I hope as his confidence builds and pressure subsides he'll be pinging them in sub consciously.

Presumably they'll cite the non sending off in the Swansea v Newcastle match

There was another in the West Ham v Huddersfield last night too.

If Salah was better/more clinical at finishing he'd be an out and out striker and not a wide forward
Can't fault the lad really and he might well improve a tad too.
I've no doubt he'll go through purple spells also.

His pace and movement is very good but he could stand to improve his finishing, even as a wide player.

I reckon if Mané had gotten the chances that Salah got in the opening 25 minutes against City, he would have scored.

In the last two games, there has been a few incidents of Salah under-hitting the final ball or taking the easy option, allowing a keeper to easily defend against what is a great chance.

You're never going to score all of them, but I'm less confident of Salah in those positions than Mané or Firmino ATM.

BullBlackNova

Mané appeal rejected, he'll miss three games.

Burnley (H), Leicester (A) and Leicester (A).

That League Cup game came at a handy time and he'd likely have been rested then anyway so it's just two games.

Oxlade Chamberlain, Sturridge or maybe even Solanke to start in his absence so.

I'd go AOC in his position and keep everyone else as they are if possible.

Play Coutinho in CM instead of Can or Gini if he is fit.

Harry Palmr

On the user names annoyance thing, when I was thinking of a plume of nom Harry Palmer sprung to mind but upon registration it turned out to have been taken. A quick check revealed said member has ZERO posts. ZERO, NULL, NIL a blank. His account was as dead as a Norwegian Blue :mad:

No surprise.

BullBlackNova

If nothing else, this means Mané should be fit and firing for the Champions League game away to Spartak.

Also just noticed that our PL game after that (Newcastle away) isn't until the following Sunday. Plenty of time to recover from the long travel!

Two weeks off then before Man United (H), Maribor (A) and Spurs (A). What a week!

Think you're the only one still talking about the transfer.

Running the risk of turning into the crystal ball and willing the transfer through so you can save face.

I'd have wanted Mané rested for the league cup game anyway TBH, but it's a shame he'll miss the league tie v Leicester.

Well to be fair Bobby is our #9, he's Klopp's idea of the "striker" he wants.
And Mane scored the fastest hat trick in PL history so he's exceptional for a winger/wide forward to be fair.

No harm, only about a century or two for him to wait until that username is relevant to his own team, provided they rename themselves. :pac:

In my defence I'm fairly certain I first came across 5starpool in the poker thread back in the day before I even knew this thread existed. I don't see how I could have made the connection then...and when I came across him here, well, I felt no need to think about it as he was just 5starpool from the poker thread.
