My honest expectations:

1. Borini's time will come. In fact, the time is now.
2. Emre Can will be a mainstay in the side by January
3. Sterling will win YPotY in the BPL
4. Liverpool will win the Premier League title.
5. Lallana will make the team of the season.

{Ed002's Note - 1 out of 5 - not too bad.}

dont be greedy mate isn't winning the league enough.

11 Sep 2014 05:26:07
Number 4 is a given so Ed002 must have someone else in mind for number 3 but I can't see who atm. Coutinho perhaps?

3 and 5 would seem the most realistic ones to happen. 1 is highly optimistic, 2 is based on an U21 performance and 4 really fails to consider the superior squad strength of the other teams vying for the title. I hate to say it but it is difficult to look past City and Chelsea - they have experience of combining CL/PL and, let's face it, better squads overall. I think we have a great first team and a lot of exciting young players in the squad, I just don't think winning the title is plausible this season.

Which one Ed?

Sterling

10 Sep 2014 23:26:48
What one is that ed?

{Ed002's Note - #3.}

11 Sep 2014 05:26:31
What is the 1 Ed002?

{Ed002's Note - 3.}

Seano.
dont write us off after 3 games fella. have a bit of hope you will enjoy the season more. it ain't over till the large boned person sings ;)

You just jinxed it all. Starting wth Emre Can going out injured for 6 weeks. What have you done man?

I single-handedly caused the injuries of Sturridge, Can and Allen with my optimism; I apologize to anyone reading this! I should now fret for our premier league life as Mario, Sterling, Markovic, Coutinho and Lallana are such average players we can't possibly contend with Aston Villa and Lundolundolondon bridge is falling down.

The reality is I think our squad is better than when Benitez took us to second, and while I feel City and Chelsea are both better than the United team that won the league that year, they are both prone to inconsistency and we could capitalize on that if we give them a good game at home.

United I think will falter for a few more games yet as they settle, but being in so few competitions could give them a run for 4th place against Arsenal and Tottenham. Way too early to tell.

Losing to City was tough, but our squad is still learning to gel, Mario and Lallana (our marquee signings) had not yet touched the field and it was an away game early in the campaign. We will recover from that, and in fact, I feel we already have.

I like our odds against teams we used to struggle to break down because we have so many options. Borini is one of those, and if he really does buckle down in training, I have no doubt Rodgers will give him the nod. Lambert is also right on the fringes, and capable of lending an extra hand if we need a goal late in a game.

The injury to Allen (and Can) is unfortunate, as I prefer him to Lucas in midfield, but I don't doubt Lucas' ability against Villa.

I don't know, man. I really like what I see from our attack, and if we can stick with the back four we had against Tottenham I think we'll concede far loss goals. I also feel like we'll add something to the mix in January - Valdes, before that.

Nah mate not writing us off, we have a great first team, a strong squad, an exciting manager - but we've had many false dawns over the years. I'm a fan who has no recollection of us winning a league title (just turned 30) so for me the urge for us to succeed is even greater - but I've seen us go close a few times now, I'd rather just see how games pan out and take it from there, as you say only been 3 games.

Looking at it neutrally though I would find it difficult to pick us over Chelsea and City - but anything can happen, for now I just want us to get 3 points against Villa.

That's better. Hopefully, it goes the right way, I mean it all goes tits up, starting this weekend.

Seano.
was only kiddin mate. you are right, my heart rules my head.i have been lucky enough to stand on the kop when we were winning the league, I start every season believing we will win it again and I am convinced we will before gerrard retires, miracles do happen "istanbul".

10 Sep 2014 20:04:39
To the gambler "King" Kenny "Brendan" Rodgers. (Good name too!)

Shoulda know not to sold him
Now they can't hold him
So all his dancin days
Are for the kop

We can count our money
While we're climbing up the table
There'll be time enough for dancin
With sturridge at the kop

Miltown Red I agree 100%. I've got two big Kennys in my life: King Kenny, and Kenny Rogers. I actually just watched Kenny Rogers perform live last weekend and he did that gambler number of course. I'll be very happy if the Kop would adopt this song for Sturridge.

10 Sep 2014 15:38:17
Saying it hypothetically
But what would hurt more
Sterling to Real or Rodgers to Real

10 Sep 2014 17:02:46
As If Real and Perez are out with a letter desperate for Rodgers.
Anchelotti is a wonderful manager and I don't think Real would replace him with BR.

Rodgers to Real by far!

Sterling a fantastic player but we'll always have more. Ibe, Markovic etc

Rodgers to Real, Rodgers has been the best thing that's happened to our club since the arrival of Shankly.

BantandDec
I think you have forgotten many others like Fagan, Paisley, Evans and Dalglish.

Bant and dec. And dalglish and paisley. I love rodgers but he should not be considered in the same league as these two

11 Sep 2014 03:49:28
Yet!

10 Sep 2014 12:44:27
Just been watching Cans performance for U21s. My word I think we have some player on our hands.

Its on youtube.

10 Sep 2014 13:48:14
Just watched that myself, 3 assists and countless challenges to win back possession.

10 Sep 2014 14:54:37
They say it's all fair in love , war and football but it was totally unfair having Can on the same pitch as those young players last night .

What a performance!

Absolutely outrageous performance, it was some of the most effortless brushing aside of opponents i've seen to date, ran the midfield from start to finish. I really hope he starts more games when the cup competitions get going as he has impressed every time he's featured so far.

What do I type in to find it? Can't seem to see it there.

Cheers

Emre Can, Markovic and Origi all have fantastic potential. Could all be Gems if they apply themselves correctly.

Ho I can't find the video on you tube can someone post a link please

He needs to go up against better opponents, he's too good for the U21s!

10 Sep 2014 16:59:00
I watched the game and without any hesitation, I would drop Gwrrard for Can this Sunday.

10 Sep 2014 16:59:00
I watched the game and without any hesitation, I would drop Gwrrard for Can this Sunday.

I wouldn't base your judgement on him off a YouTube video! Oussama Assaidi looked like Ronaldo haha :)

I really do hope the manager gives Gerrard a break and plays Can, the guy is fantastic talent and needs to be given the chance.

10 Sep 2014 17:56:55
Here's a link
Emre Can v Romania u21s
http://youtu.be/8vBNN8T6gmw

Gerrard had a break hence why he retired for England

I posted last week how good he looked at centre half, nothing got past him, a class display and how useful a player he was, very happy we signed him.

10 Sep 2014 12:06:32
To Danny Boy .

oh Danny boy, the goals, the goals he's scoring
From end to end and down either side
Last seasons gone and danny is still flying
Tis you, tis you so please don't shoot it wide

Suarez has gone, down another meadow
Danny gets the ball and just you watch him go
As he'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, we love you so

. I Struggled with the second verse, especially the first line of it

10 Sep 2014 12:27:05
Mate that's terrible, no offence like

10 Sep 2014 14:06:43
Are you from Cork like.

10 Sep 2014 16:31:03
If you think it's just Cork that says like, Then you must not have been to many counties. Probably from Dublin haha.

10 Sep 2014 11:46:55
Ed, s Can you answer something for me, do clubs like Liverpool, UTD make any money from replica shirt sales.

Alan

{Ed001's Note - only a merchant's cut when sold directly through the club's shop.}

10 Sep 2014 12:20:01
So for a shirt sold for €60 in a sports shop how much do the club get?

{Ed002's Note - Nothing.}

Do the manufacturers of the shirts pay for the rights to produce them? Or is that all included in the kit sponsorship deal?

Cheers eds

{Ed002's Note - The money from shirt sales goes to the manufacturer, the distributor and the retailer, who can make extra adding numbers and names to the shirts. If the club are the retailer (club shop, club website etc.) then they get the retailers cut. The manufacturer (Adidas, Warrior, Nike etc.) pay the club an amount each year which allows them to manufacture and sell the shirts using the correct logos etc.. That is how they justify the money given to the club. So if you walk in to a high street store and buy a Liverpool or Arsenal shirt - nothing goes to the club. There are a few clubs that have negotiated different deals with manufacturers (Real Madrid with Adidas and Barcelona with Nike are the two obvious examples) based upon joint reselling ventures. So the income from shirts is fixed to the £xM or whatever Adidas, Nike etc. pay the club plus a small amount for reselling through the club retail outlets (shop, web).}

Duran Duran

His name is Danny and he dances on demand.
Just like a legend shooting through the keepers hands.
And when he scores he really shows you all he can.
Oh Danny, Danny dancing up and down the land.

Alberto moreno lookalike= erik everhard

Gross. but true

10 Sep 2014 06:50:57
Luis Van Gaal was granted a wish from a genie,

"I wish Manchester United were a better team." he asked.

And hey presto, David Moyes was back in charge

10 Sep 2014 06:43:32
To the chorus of Macy Gray's 'I Try':

Scores a goal with just half a chance
Stands in front the Kop for a dance
Best striker in England, we cheer
The name is Daniel Sturridge

Well that was dreadful

Haha people are just grabbing any song out of thin air and badly putting random words to them. Anyone can do that. To the tune of 'god save the queen'

God save our gracious Studge, long live our dancing Studge, God save the Studge,,, ner ner ner NER,
Danny victorious, He's f*****g glorious, but Glen Johnson is complete rubbish,,,, god save the Studge

10 Sep 2014 02:15:25
Some real insensitive people on here:-(
Harry don't act as if you have never fallen for anyone (or anything depending on your preference):-)
You understand my pain toddy

10 Sep 2014 08:13:15
Mr. Reet

Ofcourse I do fall quiet a lot and end up well next day mng.
It's your age and period. Things would settle down once you cross this.
Women are like Mobile phones. There's always a better one at the door.

If you don't mind me asking how old are you Harry?

10 Sep 2014 10:22:10
Mr. Reet

Wrong question, Wrong time. Give it a try.

Harry,

Not only is your comment derogatory to women by its inference, it actually makes no sense at all as there is no relevance.

If you are going to hack your way through the English language, in a veiled excuse for banter, then at least get the context right.

Here's a short and sweet one with relevance (decide for yourself if its banter or not)

Harry's comments are like the Ebola virus. not wanted, but sadly it would seem, here to stay.

Unless the Ed's think differently.

Hey reet, just do her sister, you will feel loads better and you know she wants it. Lol

Harry

I'd say 12 but acting like 45 :-D

Msrshy lol

Why come on a football banter forum and broadcast it Reet?

Most people would not want to talk about their pain. Feel for you bro but onwards is the only direction.

10 Sep 2014 11:33:34
Mikey

I don't think I am old enough to do anyone let alone her sister
But nice idea defo one for the future

10 Sep 2014 12:00:55
Marshy

Mate, This is a banter page, things said here should be in the context of it is.
We are not pundits nor intellectuals.

Y do u wanna me to get banned. I don't think I have offended you in any post.

What you say about the avtar image of fans here?. Some are very sensitive. you wanna ban them all?

Your age is something I respect a lot, But that doest give you an edge to slate me.

Peace out.

Marshy, comparing Harry to Ebola is a bit harsh. Genital warts would be more appropriate, irritating, embarrassing and just when you think you have got rid of them, they pop up again. Haha

Noshbag
Because I consider people on here good friends.
Besides I have been sad and this sites been a saving grace

Dont worry Reet, everyone goes through that one relationship that leaves them worse off in the separation. It's all a part of maturing, I remember thinking the world had ended when I was dumped by my first girlfriend, I look back on it now as a life experience and just "part of the journey"!

10 Sep 2014 13:02:42
Mikey

Mate, You ain't far behind.

10 Sep 2014 13:04:11
Reet

That was not funny, Someone slating me for absolutely no reason.

Mate don't call me again. continue with others, Marshy would give you some good tips.

Harry

Cmon I just thought his outburst sudden was funny plus I thought it had s hint of sarcasm
Apologies if it offended you

10 Sep 2014 14:16:30
Reet

It was going well within me and you. No complaints. But that's what happens, when others jumps into and take this whole into a new level.

My replies to your post was just a part of Banter. It had nothing offensive or abusive.

You should have made it absolute clear to Marshy or whomever the poster, Who couldn't get the sarcasm.

10 Sep 2014 14:50:10
Harry
Glad that's clear now? I have never abused you and think of my posts directed towards you as banter

Mikey I was thinking the same thing. It's either her sister or her best mate. Quality.

If u don't want slagging about it then don't put it on a Liverpool rumours banter page. lol

What's this site coming to? Do we no longer slate the players? lol

09 Sep 2014 21:58:56
First time post, just love this site. Thought I would join in on the song for Danny theme. To the tune of the old Fernando Torres song
He dances when he scores a goal
Sturridge, Sturridge
To the merseybeat he found his soul
Sturridge, Sturridge
From Anfield Road to Southern France on every pitch see Danny dance
Danny Sturridge dances when he scores

Just wanted to say thank you to all the Eds for making this site what it is, just brilliant with all your hard work

This one is about the best I've seen so far. Tunes do get regurgitated and it is defo lively enough to get us bouncing again. Helps with the fitness regime.make the lad feel special with this, well done

Maybe a slight change.
He dances when he scores a goal
Sturridge, Sturridge
He became a red and found his soul
Sturridge, Sturridge
From Anfield Road to Southern France on every pitch see Danny dance
