I've just heard that Arne Slot flew into Liverpool on a KLM flight this afternoon.
My mate asked for his autograph but it turned out to be Michael Van Gerwen on his way to the M&S Bank Arena.
1.) 25 Apr 2024 18:29:21
Michael Van Gerwen is still a good autograph.
I went up for an autograph of someone I thought was Arne Slot and they wrote Terry Watson.
Once I saw my mistake in writing, I said "Thanks very much Terry" and cooly walked away.
I'm now trying to sell an authentic Terry Watson signed Liverpool Shirt.
{Ed025's Note - love it Davey..
2.) 25 Apr 2024 18:50:48
Is the shirt authentic or is it the authentic Terry Watson, Davey?
3.) 25 Apr 2024 18:53:55
Ed025 looking for the bald Derby next season? I want them to bang heads atleast once???.
{Ed025's Note - it would look like a Right said Fred concert Liverbird, or even a Dolly Parton tribute act mate.. :)
4.) 25 Apr 2024 19:28:45
Not THE Terry Watson, surely?
5.) 25 Apr 2024 20:08:56
The Shiny Derby, more like it.

Went to see Hawkwind at the empire in the eighties got talking to some random hippie with two cute looking females told me he was in the band so as you do knew he was performing the art a bit so concurred and asked him to sign a poster turns out it was Alan Davies still got the poster somewhere anyone interested I'll swap for anything random.
7.) 25 Apr 2024 22:28:38
Well Rigsby, Terry Watson is a make believe character I made up for comedic purposes so if you are genuinely bidding for a Liverpool signed shirt by Terry Watson, I suppose I'm probably liable to say that only the shirt is authentic.
8.) 26 Apr 2024 07:36:49
I know, I was joking, Davey.
But I'm sure we once had an interest in a Terry Watson but FSG wouldn't release the funds to land him. Skinflints.

Klopp's biggest problem has been Guardiola and the players he has at City. But I reckon Guardiola would say his biggest problem whilst at City has been Klopp and his Liverpool team.
1.) 16 Apr 2024 13:45:22
So true.
2.) 16 Apr 2024 15:57:13
Absolutely, Rigsby. Klopp has beaten Pep to win trophies or has won trophies before he did. Also, Klopp has the best head to head vs Pep out of any manager Pep has faced. He made the City/ Liverpool games evenly matched despite all the disadvantages he had. Klopp gets all the credit for that as well as the players.
Klopp and LFC have given Pep and City fits thru out their time in the PL and yeah, Pep won more BUT that is expected cos he is well, given more. But Klopp's trophy record at LFC is what a lot of these rival fans would kill for so in the end, Klopp is his kryptonite. Just my take.
3.) 16 Apr 2024 16:31:55
I wonder for how much longer Guardiola will stay at City.
{Ed002's Note - Not too much longer.}
4.) 16 Apr 2024 16:34:41
Just think, had we not won it in 2020, City would be going for seven in a row! Klopp deserves huge credit for that. And had it not been for Guardiola and the money at City we could be going for our fourth title under Klopp. We might have had two more CL trophies were it not for Real Madrid, too.
I just can't help but look at what Klopp has achieved for us and what we are up against rather than what he didn't achieve.
One of the reasons we are all so disappointed is because of the expectations we now have under Klopp.
5.) 16 Apr 2024 17:11:12
That sounds like something is afoot for this summer. ?.
6.) 16 Apr 2024 18:12:00
Speaking way too much sense, Rigsby. Stop it!
7.) 17 Apr 2024 09:27:46
What advantages does city have may I know? About to win a treble with Rodri, Kovacic and Mateus Nunes lol. They have a flop GK, A flop Grealish, An injury prone KDB, an overrated Foden and An overrated walker (accordint to this page) .
Pep would win atleast 3 PL titles with a prime Fabinho, Salah, Mane, Bobby, VVD, Alli, Robbo and Trent.
More importantly Guardiola wouldn't let his assistant to run a football club. he ofeten gets criticized for over complicating while royally ignoring how Klopp is obsessed with playing the iverted nonsense.
8.) 18 Apr 2024 00:34:14
Beekeeper you are missing the point.
Guardiola would never have had Salah, Mane, Bobby, Firmino, Robbo or Trent. They were all bought on a budget or from the academy and turned into great players. He would’ve signed proven world class players for much more money because he had it to spend.
He might have signed Ali and VVD but he wouldn’t have had to sell one of his best players in order to do it.
It’s absolutely undeniable that any City manager has had a huge financial, competitive advantage since the sheik took over. Before Pep, City won the league with Mancini and Pellegrini. Before Klopp Liverpool had one decent season in 2013-2014 where we came close but other than that we were generally 4th to 8th place in the league.
Klopp took us from relative obscurity with the odd decent cup run, hoping to get into the top 4 every season to the best team in Europe.
Pep took an already brilliant City team, spent loads of money on it and won more stuff.
There’s no comparison between the two.
9.) 18 Apr 2024 09:12:46
You don't know about City's funds then, Beekeeper?
How did they end up with Rodri, Kovacic, Nunes, Ederson, Grealish and Walker? I notice that you conveniently left out Bernardo Silva and Harland. Two of their most influential players this season.
If you think Guardiola would win at least three PL titles at Liverpool then I could agree with you because that would mean he wouldn't be City boss and that was one of my points.
The other point being the money that he has had to spend which you also proved by naming just some of his big money signings.
I stand by my assumption that Liverpool could easily have won two more PL titles had City not had Guardiola and had he not had the money he has spent.

I think I've discovered the root of Chelsea's problems. They're only playing with Gusto for less than an hour.
1.) 25 Sep 2023 00:40:27
Not boehley?
2.) 25 Sep 2023 00:45:04
ROFL.
I'm bringing it back.
3.) 25 Sep 2023 08:26:37
Rigsby, I see what you did there. Bravo, sir.
4.) 25 Sep 2023 10:47:39
Yeah Rigsby no matter how bad things might seem, if we look in the right spot we can always find silva linings, but after that performance I think any honest chelsea fan will be clutching at straws too.
02 Sep 2023 02:06:25
Why don't we sell Salah for £200m and get them to loan him back to us for two seasons?
1.) 02 Sep 2023 03:54:42
What we want is for Mo to have a stellar season with us, taking us to a PL and Europa double and then the Saudi’s can come back with an offer of £ 250+ million.
They want - we don’t have to sell - and I’m tired of their low balling already. Mo would have more of a profile in the Arabic countries than Mbappe. From our perspective he’s worth even more to Al-Itihad since Kylian said ‘no thanks’.
2.) 02 Sep 2023 06:53:22
Get mo to sign a 1 year extension between now and Xmas securing his value next summer by that time we should have had plenty of time to find a suitable replacement
The midfield will have had a full season to gel
We can then go out and get the heir to van dijk in defence
Get the heir to fabinho in midfield ( unless bajetic lays down the gauntlet this year)
Whilst also replacing salah and get the spine of the team sorted for the next4/ 5 years and hope the club have learned lessons not to let the team stagnate no matter how good they are a gentle freshen up every summer is a must when at the top of the game .
Whilst enjoying mo for another year and when the man goes let’s celebrate what a true great of the modern game we have had .
I remember 1st time I seen him on tele playing for fc Basel and I thought he was quality . Didn’t think he would become the superstar he has
Made up he will be with us for 1 more year ??.
3.) 02 Sep 2023 09:41:03
OP respectfully, that is a non starter for me. They want him. We will sell him on our terms cos he signed a lucrative extension. No loans. No buyback. No nothing. The Saudis can do one and come back next summer.

I've seen a few posts about Connor Bradley's back but Ironside scored against Everton tonight and he even couldn't walk in the late 60s and early 70s.
1.) 31 Aug 2023 08:37:24
Think that probably says more about Everton's defence that they let a wheelchair stroll right through them.
2.) 31 Aug 2023 09:29:45
I'm predicting that Sheff Utd sign Brian Potter before Saturday and he scores for them on his debut.
3.) 31 Aug 2023 12:54:44
Ironside haha loved that Rigsby mate keep it up lad.
4.) 31 Aug 2023 15:13:02
I had to Google that result and scorer!
I thought maybe Jack Wheelchair was back playing again?.
12 Mar 2023 00:55:22
I think the Timber rumours are a oaks.
12 Mar 2023 00:52:41
Grobelaar was not better than Alisson. Not a chance.
I couldn't say that Clemence was.
12 Mar 2023 00:48:08
Like it or not, it's the way we play. Our two fullbacks need to be creating chances by getting forward. Robertson should have put us one up today and then it's a different game. It's the chance we take but this season the midfield can't offer the same insurance when they do go.
I'm sure that it has crossed Klopp's mind about TAA playing in midfield but I'm also sure that Klopp would think it would weaken TAA's best attributes.
17 Jan 2023 16:49:46
I've said the same thing, War Machine.
And I'm bald, as well.
17 Jan 2023 16:46:04
What are they giving it priority over? Being in a same sex relationship?
27 Apr 2024 10:50:48
Ed001, Peter Krawietz was talking about us winning the League in 2019/ 20. He was talking about how the season went, how we played and he doesn't mention heavy metal football.
I've got to admit that I haven't read the Lijnder's book- I must have been too busy seeing not reading ?- so why was it called Intensity, if his ideas are to play in a completely different way?
{Ed001's Note - and why is what Krawietz relevant to any of this? He has never talked about at any time, why would you expect him to mention it? You are just not making any useful point. Like I said, deliberately obtuse trying to be a pedant about something that is utterly irrelevant. You are just hijacking a thread. I have wasted enough time, too much time, on you being a pain for the sake of it.
Why are you asking me? Lijnders is the man you need to ask, he wrote it. I am sure he will happily talk to you, just point a mic or camera at him and he will wax eloquent about how he is the kingpin of everything if you let him.}
27 Apr 2024 11:38:04
What has Lijnders said to Klopp, polecat?
27 Apr 2024 11:05:56
Where is all the blame for Lijnders coming from? I'm not defending him so it's a genuine question.
I've not read his book, Intensity, and I don't know about his tactics but is he the reason we are playing slower, are more defensively fragile and can't finish?
Is there any evidence that he implemented a slower and more reckless brand of football?
27 Apr 2024 10:16:08
This is what Peter Krawietz said, after we won the League, about us moving away from the so called heavy metal football, if anyone is interested:
Dominance and control, that’s what it’s about. It has always been in our approach to control football games in a dominant manner. That possibly distinguishes us from other teams. We try to dominate, even when we’re not in possession. Gegenpressing is not some wild chase after the ball, it’s predicated on a trigger, designed to minimise the opponent’s time on the ball. But the high individual quality of our players also allows us to control games in possession now, and to take up positions close to the ball, to be able to win it back again quickly if we do lose it.
Having more of the ball shouldn’t lead to you resting on the ball but it does look more… controlled. It allows you to move the opponent around. We’re not forced to go for goal in every move, we can take a more strategic line, switching the play, preparing spaces and attacking situations in a systematic fashion. Our team have made great strides in that respect, mostly due to their individual quality.
{Ed001's Note - what has this to do with anything? Krawietz is talking about what we wanted to see, not this dire Lijnders-ball we have ended up with over the last two seasons. Clearly you are too busy reading and not actually seeing.}
27 Apr 2024 10:12:35
Ed001, I suppose it is a weak label based on what Klopp has since said was a joke.
He did bring a high intensity brand of football with him but it evolved to a more controlled brand with more selective spells of high intensity and we won the CL and PL.
The season we won the League we had the best defensive record.
{Ed001's Note - I don't see the relevance in anything you are saying. You seem to be completely missing the point in your efforts to prove you are a superfan. The last two seasons have been dog muck and the intensity has vanished along with switching over to a tedious, turgid, controlled style of football. The only thing we have won, and that was a close run thing against an abysmal Chelsea side managed by a serial loser, was the League Cup. Not exactly a great return when you consider the way we flunked out of the FA Cup against an even worse Man Utd side.}
