I am NOT Kissing ass or anything like that but again i am amazed by ed001's knowledge of the game, years ago when De Zerbi was all the hype i remember ed001 clearly saying he is overrated and that he would be found out in time! And so it is.
This is 90% of the reason I have stayed on this site for almost 15 years now, ed001's football knowledge ?.
{Ed001's Note - you got a good memory.}
11 Feb 2026 12:03:25
I also remember in 2019, when we were 3 nil down against Barcelona and only a point or so behind city in the title race, Ed001 said we had a better chance of winning the CL than the League.
11 Feb 2026 12:10:50
I come for all the positivity!
{Ed025's Note - love it Swampy..
11 Feb 2026 12:31:00
Come for the banter and the gossip, stay for the Ed's ?.
11 Feb 2026 12:52:31
I come for the top quality banter lad's.
{Ed025's Note - and im here because its easier than DIY and its too wet to play golf Barry.. :)
11 Feb 2026 13:03:26
Ed001 has amazing insight. He is king really.
Lots of great posters as well on here to be fair and some really funny stuff too.
Really enjoyable site.
11 Feb 2026 13:06:58
Rain stopped play again Billy ?♂️.
{Ed025's Note - absolutely Barry, the way its going mate the course wont dry out until about july..
11 Feb 2026 13:15:56
Go on benefits Ed, and break up with the missus - that's what I plan to do ?.
{Ed025's Note - my benefits are my pension MB, and i cant break up with the missus mate i have been with her since 78, she is almost part of the furniture now.. :)
11 Feb 2026 13:19:13
I come for the knowledge. And I have been better for it ever since.
11 Feb 2026 13:32:10
This is the best site for football analysis by an absolute mile. Just read the match reviews and player profiles, you'll learn more about football than an entire library of stats books will ever tell you.
11 Feb 2026 13:34:12
I'm barred from everywhere else so doesn't matter why I come I'm here.
{Ed025's Note - love it John..
11 Feb 2026 13:53:32
Brilliant John ?.
11 Feb 2026 14:10:35
I started reading these posts out load and my wife gave me the look of death when I started reading the posts of "I come here. ".
11 Feb 2026 14:11:31
Came here as a teenager that was just looking for transfer rumours. Stayed for the honesty as every other site is just click bait, running any rumour they can seemingly.
The eds always have great info but most important for me they are never afraid to say if they don't know.
Thanks for the integrity lads and the banter from all the users.
11 Feb 2026 14:28:56
Ed1 is and will always will be the fountain of knowledge for me. His understanding of the game is unmatched. that's why it pees me off when people throw negativity his way but they are just fools trying to get him down to their level. Keep up all the good work Ed1.
11 Feb 2026 14:47:04
I've been here since it started as Football Rumours, I cannot remember when that was, perhaps 20 years ago Anyway, there is not one place like it for the info., the banter, the discussions, the disagreements, the agreements, the fruitcakes, the sensible ones, the ITKs, the supposed ITKs, but most of all for the other posters on here whom I've never met but seem like friends and companions (.
most of them anyway! ) AND the EDs, 01, 25, 33 and the tech guru 77.I think? , with of course a special nod to the great ED in the sky ED02! Keep her lit fellow Reds! (and 1 single Blue!. we know who that is! )
{Ed025's Note - nice post that SG..
11 Feb 2026 15:13:06
I come on here to see what Sean Dundee has to say but he's not been on for ages?!
11 Feb 2026 15:19:41
Sean Dundee is now Varry Benison, after being Beckers Peckers and Robboslostlegs.
11 Feb 2026 15:22:09
I think he's changed his name again Bristol Red. He's trying to beat Harry ?.
11 Feb 2026 15:20:51
I remember going to a Cardiff City game maybe 12/ 13 years ago, watching Gary Medel play and thinking "Bloody hell, this guy is good".
I came home and searched on this site if anyone had mentioned him as I thought he'd be a great addition to the Liverpool squad at the time, only to find Ed001 saying what a great addition he would be to the Liverpool squad.
Still think he could do a job Ed001?
{Ed001's Note - maybe not now! But I did love him as a player, I like a player who fights for the badge.}
11 Feb 2026 15:30:29
Surely not? I've actually agreed with some of Varry's posts!
11 Feb 2026 15:42:36
Where is Rigsby? Not seen him on here for a while. Hope he's OK.
{Ed025's Note - yeah Rome i have not seen him for a while now you come to mention it mate..
11 Feb 2026 15:52:50
Great site ED25. Just mighty. It and all contributors deserve great credit. Really do. I'd cry for a month if it was gone in the morning!
{Ed025's Note - i would have to play golf in the rain SG.. :)
11 Feb 2026 15:59:39
I have some good banter with him Ed025, I think we're of a similar age group. Always enjoy reading his posts, even if I don't always agree with him. I know him and Salah used to butt heads, but it never went over the top. Like I say, be good to hear from him.
{Ed025's Note - yeah Rome, for me hes a top poster mate and we always have a good craic, i hope he is well..
11 Feb 2026 16:07:34
Ah Red Dawn. You beat me to mentioning Gary Medel. Long championed back then by ED001.
11 Feb 2026 16:21:59
de Zerbi is certainly very overrated but for better or worse he has made a permanent mark on the tactical evolution of football, when he was early on the scene in Brighton the game we were completely undone against them when Klopp was in charge that was one of the worst games I have ever seen us play.
I don't think he's ever going to last more than two or three years at any job though.
11 Feb 2026 16:58:50
Got to have a round Ed025 when the weather breaks ?️♂️⛳️.
{Ed025's Note - yeah Ron, but by the looks of it mate that could be months away with all this rain..
11 Feb 2026 17:06:40
Funny you should mention rigsby, Rome - I was also thinking about him earlier, not posted in what seems like quite a while. Hope all is well with him, banter aside he's a decent poster for a good old sausage ;).
11 Feb 2026 17:52:50
I used to enjoy reading your ding dongs with him Salah, and you calling him a sausage! Hopefully see you on chat later, mate.
11 Feb 2026 18:32:31
Ed001 is pretty much always right and Ed 025 is always funny and stirs debate. A good double act.
11 Feb 2026 20:01:36
Well if either of you Salah or Rome chat to Rigsby tell him he's missed for sure! Hopefully all is good with them. Enjoy the match all.
11 Feb 2026 22:58:51
It's true Bristol I keep getting banned, mainly because I don't agree with Ed1 on some things funnily enough. I agree with a lot of what Ed1 says but he won't be questioned on anything so we sometimes butt heads so he bans me which is fine I suppose it's his site.
I'm just unapologetically positive pretty much all of the time and I see things a bit differently to most of you on here. Especially when it comes to Liverpool.
I just can't stand all of the moaning so I have to call it out. Sometimes I might go a bit too far but I never mean to upset anyone.
