I see Gerrard on BT sports, when asked who should Liverpool sign, he defensively said "I Can't name any players"
Do you think the club know their mistakes and are coaching people who interact with media or just the persons themselves realising it's not good to mention names?
1.) 23 Aug 2017 23:01:02
Think he's enough sense not to give names out.
2.) 24 Aug 2017 01:52:53
He also said a central defender and central midfielder - he didn't name names, but it seemed obvious who he was talking about.

Any Irish lads able to donate for Ed's predicament?
1.) 10 May 2016 14:05:17
Yeah managed to donate earlier no problem.

Couldnt before, got in there with a different card.
Good luck Ed001, been up the creek myself and nice to pass it on to someone else.

Just like to apologise to Ed002 for the "abuse" he got for giving us information he knows at the time.
And on a personal note, I was looking forward to the read of what he wrote and when I finally sat down in the local with a few pints, I was annoyed to find it has disappeared due to idiotness.

lewandowski, after watching him for the first today, while he is a great striker and if Klopp wants him (doubtful) he is worse then Suarez for looking for penny's on the floor. He goes down easier then a 90 year old. No offence to 90 year olds.

Sour grapes i guess.
2.) 11 Oct 2015 22:30:42
dublad so you are saying you would not want him if we went in for him ,never mind benteke and sturridge are so injury prone that they only have to look at the pitch and they start limping , lol

He doesn't need to drop to the floor as soon as he gets a touch. Granted I seen o'shea trying to be skittles and getting away with it.
How many people where embarrassed by Suarez, Ronaldo (when at Utd), and countless others who roll around with the slightest touch or drop to the floor with someone breathing on them??
Not sour grapes, we didn't even deserve 3rd.
If take anyone who'd win us the league, but rather one who scores goals and stays on his feet.

You think the result was bad, I'm away on a family holiday with the wife and baby and both are gone to bed.
Normally I'd jump at the chance of a free night but the hotel bar has been playing music from 1980's Butlins. And I'm the only one in the bar. . luckily no chance of being dragged up for the YMCA.

Preparing to duck for cover.
I can’t see Salah being as effective next season, I’d like to think he’ll score 20 plus, I can’t. I think, he’ll get closer marked, he’ll be figured out and he’ll be a good player with loads to offer, rather then sensation he is now.

Who, is he any use? Even though its probably just paper talk.

Whatever it is, injury, illness, or joined John Titor back in the future to defeat the whomever. let's just support the guy.

ED025: I heard he is nothing but a gold digger.
{Ed025's Note - yeah dub..hes famous for it.. :)

Like it jay 😀.

Jari was potentially going to be great. I wish he had the chance to show it.
Poor Auqa man, that’s all I say on it, except he was no Gareth Barry.
17 Jun 2018 17:45:03
Might as well, I’d be up for it. Perhaps an Ireland vs England game if we get enough.
10 Mar 2018 12:53:43
Best of luck.

Thanks Ed002 for you answer and I do remember seeing a lot of the points from you before, so thanks for putting it together. it was a good read.
{Ed002's Note - Glad it helped.}

Ed002, a or two question if I may and it’s hypothetical, but would the exclusion of Liverpool from the breakaway league hurt Liverpool considerably? The reason I say Liverpool is coz I support Liverpool, but spurs could be an example too. Basically clubs who complete in European completions most years.
And have the breakaway discussed further entries? Promotion demotion style or is it just going to be the X amount of clubs and that's it?
{Ed002's Note - If the proposal for a breakaway goes ahead, there is every likelihood that the big money from television, sponsorship etc. would go with a breakaway league. It would completely rupture the operations of UEFA and I would expect it would require national associations like the FA to restructure their leagues. Nobody wants this but it is the eventual consequence I would expect. Initially it could be that there is a single 16 team league with probably 3 EPL teams making the initial plunge. If I had to speculate, I would think (1) you might eventually see something like five or six EPL teams leave for two-tier pan European league - but it won't be based on the UEFA rankings and it is a long way off; (2) the Premier League would be disbanded as an organisation; (3) the FA would restructure in to two 20 team divisions with lower leagues regionalised as they were many years ago; (4) FIFA would ban all players from the breakaway teams from International football - perhaps rescinding that position to stop FIFA breaking up as well - they don't want further issues but the troubles are not going to go away. I could also see many teams lose their professional status. I would think we are probably 10 years away from any significant move at this time.
I hold a reasonably strong view in terms of the need to restructure football in Europe in any case. For me an eventual a breakaway pan-European league would force the restructuring of many of the national leagues, possibly resulting in a British league with perhaps only a couple of professional tiers and then regionalised amateur leagues below that. Financially I do not see that so many pro sides can be sustained within the sport which, like it or not, will see more and more money going in to the highest levels of the game. Governments will ensure that grassroots sport get funding but everything in the middle (Southern, Northern, Conference, Division 2, Scottish Divisions 1-3, League of Wales will not get the funding needed to continue on any sort of professional basis. For me, clubs should already recognise this and put their efforts in to getting there finances in order to see if they can make it to a British professional league that will need to flourish without perhaps six sides that have gone down the pan-European route - and have gone for good. Clubs like Accrington Stanley will need to carry on as amateurs or face extinction (yet again).
The game has changed significantly and will continue to do so. Football at the highest level is big business and attracts the sponsorship it does because the sponsors wish to tap in to the disposable income of the fans and ride the back of the advertising that flows naturally from the success some clubs achieve. Long gone are the days of the cloth-capped, hobnailed-booted, chimney sweep making his way, rattle in hand, to cheer on his team at Anfield on a Saturday afternoon. I have explained that there will be changes, probably within the next 10 to 12 years, which will force the restructuring of all of the leagues in Europe and likely do away with the likes of UEFA. You will have the opportunity to see the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus and the other major European sides play in week-on-week regular competition at The Emirates, Stamford Bridge etc.. You will have the opportunity to visit Milan, Barcelona, Monaco, etc. every couple of weeks to watch your team play - if they make the cut. If you want to don your cloth cap, have a pint of wallop with your chums before going off to the local match, perhaps one of the sides from the suburbs will have survived so you can go and watch them?}
