It dawned on me that a fair amount of posters on this site might have never experienced the sheer joy of the sharkopod. I don't suppose there is a future one on the cards by any chance ed2?
{Ed002's Note - Maybe I could do one.}
1.) 21 May 2024 22:58:16
Go on Ed002, for old times sake ;-)
2.) 22 May 2024 06:28:15
Yeeeeesssssss 002 that would be fantastic and a blast from the past, we might even get Macca back with a snippet of information from inside sources!
Excited.
3.) 22 May 2024 17:45:11
Sharkopods were excellent, and were appreciated by me that’s for sure.
{Ed002's Note - a slim chance if I gave time but I gave a bunch of travel coming up.}
4.) 22 May 2024 19:48:16
Any sharkopod would be greatly appreciated ed2. Safe travels mate and selfishly hope you find the time.
{Ed002's Note - Thank you. I will see what I can do. And you get some really cool music.}
5.) 22 May 2024 21:28:54
The music is the best part ed2. I think that’s what make them so fun. Well- also the in-depth analysis of potential incomings, but really- who’s bothered with that? And now i've the ten times daily check of rumours to see if one shows up to look forward to.
18 May 2018 11:33:41
Heya ed2, hope you are well today, I'm sure you'd love to make some of these requests diasappear (just like all blemishishes with a few careful applications of Thera-blem) but I was wondering if you had any thoughts on creating any sharkopods in the near future? I appreciate you are a very busy man and the work that goes into it is immense (and worth it because they are hilarious) . I know you said a while ago it was a no go, if that's still the case, a total shame but I completely understand why.
{Ed002's Note - There is no plan to provide any more Sharkopods.}
1.) 18 May 2018 11:45:20
Ah fair enough ed, thanks for the reply. Hope you have a good weekend.
{Ed002's Note - Thanks, and you.}
2.) 18 May 2018 11:45:31
Ed2 that’s a shame is it bec of abusive members things have changed? Remember not long ago you said we would be first on the list for sharkpod.
{Ed002's Note - The reasons are unimportant Adam.}
3.) 18 May 2018 12:05:53
Ed2 are you looking forward to the champions league final?
{Ed002's Note - I am not going to go and have had no other thoughts on it really.}
4.) 18 May 2018 15:35:22
In your line of work ed would you have been able to get tickets?
{Ed002's Note - Yes, we some tickets.}
5.) 18 May 2018 16:33:21
But Ed002 where will I get my fix of retro obscure music clips now?!
{Ed002's Note - I will continue to answer questions about non transfer related matters - including music Triangle.}
6.) 19 May 2018 09:34:36
Could you provide us with a recommended music playlist Ed then? I enjoyed the obscure music on the Sharkopod and sorry that yo7 no longer want to get involved with transfer info as your knowledge was one of the reasons that makes this site so good. Anyway take it easy and hope you’re well.
{Ed002's Note - I will give you a few appropriate song for the day as you ask. As there is a Royal wedding today, that will see the bond between the English and German nations strengthen, you will no doubt by on tenderhooks until you get to see Ms Merkel's wonderful dress. Apparently, although marrying a prince, she will not be called Princess Angela. So "tenderhooks" makes me think of The Barbarians' "Moulty", the story of their one handed drummer, and that would be a good starting point. Thinking of young Prince Hal's bride to be, perhaps The Lollipop Shoppe (who were managed by an old buddy of mine) playing "You Must Be a Witch" could keep the tempo up as you swoon at the beauty of Ms Merkel on her wedding day. If you follow the English tradition of consuming ale all the way through the wedding, and then through the FA cup final, by the end of the day you will no doubt be hearing "Voices Green and Purple", as recorded by The Bees.}

Great band The Bees. Salute Mr Ed 02 ðŸ‘ðŸ».

Its about to get really windy in ireland tomoro. Stay safe everyone and fill your bathtub.
1.) 23 Jan 2025 14:30:32
Oh and buy lots of candles just in case and always have your Rosary beads ready as well (It's a Irish thing don't ask)
2.) 23 Jan 2025 14:56:43
Louth looks like it’ll get a right whallop barry. I’m in the sunny south east so hopefully we’ll miss the worst of it. Worst storm to hit ireland since records began. There were riots over slice pan in my local tescos today. But if it rains hard there’s usually riots.
3.) 23 Jan 2025 15:08:46
I've mine at the ready to pray for day off ?. All schools and supermarkets are closed up here in the north.
4.) 23 Jan 2025 15:19:29
Keep safe, guys.
5.) 23 Jan 2025 15:24:54
Stay safe to all.
6.) 23 Jan 2025 15:25:00
Well I have my Rosery beads and my kite ready?.
7.) 23 Jan 2025 15:44:55
Candles are no good in the wind Barry.
8.) 23 Jan 2025 16:07:42
Well not according to Elton John Bobby?.
{Ed001's Note - I think you haven't really understood that song Bazza.}
9.) 23 Jan 2025 16:18:55
Seems to me Barry has lived his life like a candle in the wind.
{Ed001's Note - certainly sums up his sex life.}
10.) 23 Jan 2025 16:23:06
Stay safe lds.
11.) 23 Jan 2025 16:31:00
Keep safe Barry and AOE. and anyone else down that direction!
12.) 23 Jan 2025 17:20:42
I'm actually very worried that you would know anything about my extra curricular activities Tristan?.
{Ed001's Note - you keep sending me the pics and vids.}
13.) 23 Jan 2025 19:01:21
We’ve all seen the vids barry. They are…. interesting.
14.) 23 Jan 2025 19:22:47
To Barry and Aoe hope you stocked up on bread milk and tea bags they were going out of fashion today in Arklow ??.
15.) 23 Jan 2025 18:45:36
I know but you don't have to broadcast it?.
{Ed001's Note - I do.}
16.) 23 Jan 2025 20:17:15
Heading over on boat from Dublin tomorrow (if it goes) for game Saturday. Just my luck the same day as worst storm ever!
{Ed025's Note - i cant see it sailing Digger and flights are also cancelled apparently, wait until Saturday mate its not worth the risk..
17.) 23 Jan 2025 20:27:16
It was switched to evening departure ed25 instead of morning so hopefully it be over at that stage. Damage to the ports so boat can't dock would be biggest obstacle I think at that stage. Hopefully works out?.
{Ed025's Note - good luck and safe journey mate..
18.) 23 Jan 2025 21:31:41
The wind will be on your back, Digger! Journey will be half the time, safe travels. Apparently it's already 180kmh in Kerry.
19.) 23 Jan 2025 22:55:40
I'm just dreading the thoughts of actually having to talk to my wife when the electric goes out.
05 Dec 2024 19:24:47
Chiesa got a goal in the reserves. Looking closer to getting into the team. I'm still excited about this lad making a splash once he acclimatises to the pace of the league-which I think he will.
1.) 05 Dec 2024 19:52:08
So many using him as a stick to beat FSG with.
Edwards track records with transfers suggest people should wait due course before making swift judgements.
2.) 05 Dec 2024 20:34:06
Little bit too much hate around at the moment. I think people could enjoy that we are top of the league a bit more with a fraction less anger. A player potentially returning to the first team should be a good thing imho. Imagine he does the job- wouldn’t that be awesome.
3.) 05 Dec 2024 20:38:49
Absolutely, could well be a great addition just when we need a freshen up.
4.) 05 Dec 2024 20:49:24
Its going to be interesting to see him, as I don't personally have much of an idea how good he is!
5.) 05 Dec 2024 21:17:40
I’m a ridiculous fan of him. I think he has the ability to be a top top player.
6.) 06 Dec 2024 00:33:38
really liked his goal. saw that and thought, yup, excellent sign the way he took the touch and created space. Shows his agility is still there. Looking forward to him getting up to speed as we'll need him.
7.) 06 Dec 2024 05:40:18
With the amount of games coming up he will be needed.
I’m another that is looking forward to seeing him. Not sure we’ll see him in the derby this weekend though. Hardly the best game to introduce him into.
8.) 06 Dec 2024 10:34:29
@Vango, I've seen that a lot and frankly such fans are just sad and pathetic, IMO.
9.) 06 Dec 2024 12:09:50
Tell them to jog on OliEd
What makes you a better fan than these so called sad and pathetic ones.
I’ll WAIT.
10.) 06 Dec 2024 13:51:00
Jk it could be exactly the game to introduce him mate. Can’t wait to see him become a regular.
Sad and pathetic fans? Why because they have an opinion? Are we not allowed? The high and mighty.
21 Nov 2024 11:28:16
Heya ed1. I don't suppose you could put up some links to the old sharkopods? The last thing ed2 ever said to me was he was considering doing another. Obviously I was too nervous to push the matter lest I incur his wrath. I can't help but feel a few newer posters missed out on how great they were. The info is long out of date but the music and adverts will never die. Cheers mate.
{Ed033's Note -
Sharkopods download page
1.) 21 Nov 2024 11:52:45
Oh wow! I had no idea they were still accessible. Good shout mate and thanks Ed33 for posting. Putting one on later on tonight.
{Ed001's Note - you know he used to pay for the music license etc himself. It was all him these Sharkopods and they were bloody awesome things because of it. But the picture of Batman and the shark probably makes more sense to you all now after the last few days. Now you know he used to get called Batman by other editors and that he loved sharks, you can understand the name too.}
2.) 21 Nov 2024 12:27:40
Smart and dangerous when attacked.
I can 100% see why ed002 related to them sharks ?.
3.) 21 Nov 2024 12:45:49
Ed1, since you've shared some of the details recently about him it'll make it all the more interesting to listen to them again. In your first announcement you had mentioned about his love for sharks and it immediately came to me about where the sharkopod name came from.
Very interesting mate, even more so now knowing he paid for his music licenses. Doing them all for free yet it was costing him money for the music, yeah it says a great deal about him as a person. I absolutely loved the music, it added that extra touch.
I can't remember the first one I ever listened to but once I did I was hooked. Gutted we'll never have one again, they were just perfect.
Did he ever plan on doing any more in recent times mate or was he just too busy?
{Ed001's Note - he had always said he wanted to do more but just never got round to it sadly.}
4.) 21 Nov 2024 14:04:09
Its lovely hearing just a little more bit about the legend. Did he know how much the posters adored him ed?
{Ed001's Note - I think so. I tended to delete a lot of the abuse and nasty replies but made sure to always leave the nice stuff for him.}
5.) 21 Nov 2024 16:01:38
That’s amazing ed. That’s exactly what my team do for me. I am only allowed to read the good stuff. Some trolls can really bring you down. You can get a hundred nice things praising you and it takes one gilfnard to ruin your day. Honestly- that you did that for him was an amazing thing on your part. I don’t know how you guys do what you do, what with everyone so angry and reactive these days. Legemds the lot of you.
{Ed001's Note - best way, no need for the person involved to see the bad stuff.}
6.) 21 Nov 2024 17:01:51
Blood thirsty predators aren’t they Jurgenator? ?.
03 Nov 2024 21:38:44
Can i just make mention of that unreal touch and run by darwin early on that was out of this world. Can't help but feel had he gotten that goal it would have been up there with bergkamp sublime finish. I genuinely think he did almost everything right and just didn't get the finish. I love the lad.
1.) 03 Nov 2024 22:05:44
He really doesn't get enough appreciation does he mate? I really like the lad, he puts in tons of effort and is passionate about his team. Definitely one to keep.
2.) 03 Nov 2024 23:13:58
Great minds salah.
3.) 03 Nov 2024 23:17:56
Nunez is quietly becoming consistently good under the tutalege of Slot.
4.) 04 Nov 2024 02:14:58
He doesn’t get enough goals nevermind appreciation.
5.) 04 Nov 2024 03:06:10
I’ll bet you he doesn’t start for us when Jota is fit after the international break. OP, so, what you are saying is that he nearly did something very good. Seems to be a bit of a theme with him.
6.) 04 Nov 2024 03:35:45
Needs to get himself in more goal scoring positions. Would rather he left the defensive work and focused on saving his energy to run in the other direction. Still view him the same as last 2 seasons, potential but not good enough to win us a league as our CF.
7.) 04 Nov 2024 11:56:06
I'd love him to get more goals but I don't really care about how many goals he scores - at the moment he is involved in pretty much every goal we score. Not in a headline grabbing way but with his interplay with Salah - playing passes around the corner to release him or holding the ball up. His play with his back to goal is so much better than it was and his workrate and willingness to contribute defensively are amazing. He is starting to excel in the Bobby Firminho type role that saw Bobby constantly slated for not scoring enough goals - A role that was crucial in making the team what it was and was one of the main reasons for Salah and Mane's excellent statistics.
8.) 04 Nov 2024 13:31:22
he is involved in pretty much every goal we score
I like Nunez but no he’s not.
9.) 04 Nov 2024 14:19:10
I'm loving his celebrations, even when another player scores he celebrates like he has lol. What a lad. I feel because of the money etc in football, we've lost a lot of passion in the game yet Nunez most certainly has it. It's good to see.
10.) 04 Nov 2024 14:35:24
Salah you can’t deny the lad is full of passion.
Would really love to see him bag a hatful of goals this season.
11.) 04 Nov 2024 21:15:00
Fingers crossed JK mate.
23 Aug 2024 19:05:43
Disappointing to hear the club agree a deal with ladbrooks as their betting partner for the coming years.
1.) 23 Aug 2024 20:10:37
I think we might be the minority here aoe however I appreciate you having a voice for all those affected by problem gambling Dreadful partnership for the club and community.
I completely understand others enjoyment of gambling and this is just my opinion.
2.) 23 Aug 2024 20:36:40
I don't gamble I've seen it bring a good friend to the brink. I don't agree with it but it is what is within the premier league.
3.) 23 Aug 2024 20:38:02
I had a gambling problem 25 years ago and lost 6 figures in 6 months, however betting is a part of society and I have no issue with the club having Ladbrokes as a sponsor!
4.) 23 Aug 2024 20:58:29
I think not signing deals with these businesses would most certainly help lessen its normality. I’m lucky to have never had an issue with gambling and I would never judge anyone for any of their choices. I just think there are quite a few evils surrounding gambling as a whole and a club like ours could do better than take money from a company that destroys so much.
5.) 23 Aug 2024 21:11:13
Only to be expected I'm afraid. Football clubs have moved from tobacco, to alcohol now to gambling in taking money from industries that exploit and damage their fans.
6.) 23 Aug 2024 23:50:28
As a sports psychologist I have to deal with gambling addiction very commonly among players.
This is disappointing news to me.
7.) 24 Aug 2024 00:12:00
Sorry to hear that SzSz8
Thanks for sharing mate.
All the best.
8.) 24 Aug 2024 01:30:23
It's a mug's game and severely damages communities and individuals.
I'd naively hoped the club was better than this.
9.) 24 Aug 2024 01:57:46
Yep all about the chedda. Watch FIFA Uncovered to see what money has done to football.
10.) 24 Aug 2024 07:14:38
There are ethical concerns with pretty much every multi-billion dollar industry/ company. You don’t get that rich and powerful without stepping on a lot of people. I would hazard a guess the bank we’re sponsored by aren’t squeaky clean either given 90% of their profits are made in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Best not to think about this stuff in my opinion because you’ll only find sad realities. You certainly won’t change the culture of betting in sports. Where there’s huge money involved, there’s simply never any sound or consistent morals. By all means be disappointed as that’s entirely your own prerogative, but Liverpool and every other club at the top level will all have partners to gain a competitive edge, where there are questionable ethics involved.
11.) 24 Aug 2024 07:22:59
FSG are professional capitalists and their morals are aligned with who will pay them the most money.
12.) 24 Aug 2024 07:43:12
I don't gamble nor no interest in it but I think I don't think 'hiding it' as regards sponsorship etc is going to lessen the awful affliction it is for people who suffer with that addiction.
I would prefer method of educating young people the problems it can create for them by doing it, small doses of it no problem, big doses of it big problems. If you look at drugs problem, hiding it and making it illegal has only made it worse.
13.) 24 Aug 2024 09:16:41
Gambling of any type and like any other form of addiction, has ruined people's lives. Whole families and freindships destroyed. I salute all those out there trying to help others and those who are actually trying to "get clean", if you like. Stay strong.
14.) 24 Aug 2024 10:38:17
Gambling is a terrible thing, Again MK supporting the club blindly like nothing wrong can ever be done by FSG and the people THEY HIRE to run the club the way THEY WANT. Gambling has ruined so many lives and yet the commercials and propaganda is in your face everywhere, these people are horrible and beyond evil, and don't care about anything other than lining their pockets even if means ruining people's lives. I Know that some people have literally committed suicide due to sports gambling. But let's gain that competitive edge MK talks about by signing no one or signing Rabiot. WEEEEEEEEEE.
15.) 24 Aug 2024 11:26:37
For some reason my post never came through but in short, a gambling sponsor is no different to the club having an alcohol company in their shirt for years and as MK said, the banks aren't really any better. I personally don't agree with it, but gambling provides huge sums of money to the sport and clubs, I very much doubt they'll get rid of them.
16.) 24 Aug 2024 13:24:01
I like the occasional flutter here and there, only small money. I don't see the harm in it if you can control yourself, just like drink, drugs, food, women. Unfortunately my control when it comes to women is terrible.
17.) 24 Aug 2024 20:22:29
You only have to turn on Sky Sports to be bombarded with betting advertising. If it's not adverts, then it's on club shirts.
This exploitative industry makes a living by preying on the vulnerable/ addictive members of society. Lots of clubs are sponsored by gambling companies, but I hoped we were "bigger" than this. I know we'd previously been sponsored by Bet Victor, but you'd like to think we were socially responsible enough to buck the trend. I guess they just can't say no to money sadly.
18.) 24 Aug 2024 20:46:02
I completely get everybody’s comments above, and agree with them but, playing devils advocate, my only question would be where do you draw the line?
We are also sponsored by Carlsberg (and have been for eons) - alcohol is just as damaging, if not more so.
We are sponsored by EA Sports - many of their games including FIFA (now EA FC) have for years, particularly in regard to Ultimate Team, have been criticised for the addictive nature of opening “packs” - especially for children.
We are sponsored by Cadburys - obesity is a massive problem in this country.
We are sponsored by Coca Cola - same as the above.
Should we also dissociate ourselves from all those companies, and any others like them, as they also promote potentially unhealthy living or damaging behaviours?
Should we offer those products at the ground or just not actively advertise it?
28 Jan 2025 20:31:24
Sorry guys. Obviously meant to say bruges. My bad.
24 Jan 2025 19:09:04
A fair point completely. And certainly apt with a player like mo and gerrard. But jota is neither player. I was just using gerrard as an example of my issue with jota. (Probably badly as well. ) To clarify, my point with jota is that imho his link up play costs more for the team, than what he brings to the team as a goalscorer. Let’s say- he scores one goal in three games. A player with a better ability to link up play could theoretically be responsible for multiple goals over those same three games- that’s where I see the value in nunez. He brings more than goals. Oh yes, goals would be most welcome, but overall (and certainly lies damned lies and statistics might argue otherwise) I think we score more with darwin on the pitch, than with jota. Saying that- against a tired team, I think he is a brilliant substitute option.
24 Jan 2025 12:41:01
I should add- wasn’t actually having a go at gerrard before anyone loses their mind- was just trying to give an example. The kid was majestic on the pitch to watch. Just throwing that one out there. let's just all be cool.
24 Jan 2025 12:34:28
I love nunez- think he should start more games. We have been better with his chaos from the start. He brings so much more to our team than goals. I’d keep jota as impact sub- otherwise, if there are buyers for him out there, have at it and give danns the opportunity. My one criticism of jota apart from his injuries is his link up play. Its definitely improved but for every goal he scores, I wonder how many more goals he could have been involved in through losing the ball or bad passing. It was kind of like the gerrard thing. It used always do my head in how many shots gerrard took a match. Yes- he scored worldies, but how better might the team have been overall had he picked out a pass that put a player through on goal over going for it. In jota’s defence- he’s a class goalscorer so its not his job to be making things happen- he’s just there to put it in the net, so I’m probably being a little unfair on the lad- I just look at the impact a salah and gakpo bring- and even darwin- even when not scoring. Not a popular line of thought I would imagine.
24 Jan 2025 12:21:38
I really do like tchoumani. Always have- bot sure if we were ever in for him but I would love that. I think it would be a great deal as I reckon both leagues would suit both players better. I remember ed2 previously saying madrid were after him this coming summer. And while player swaps are usually reserved for fifa, stranger things have happened.
04 Feb 2025 09:45:08
They probably won’t get into a relegation fight this season but if things don’t change I would be worried about them next season… now when I say worried….
04 Feb 2025 09:42:29
I also think our play style suits us for the long game. Under klopp we went hell for leather and frequently as the season went on we looked out on our feet after first half hour.
02 Feb 2025 18:41:07
Arsenal will still find a way to blow it and come third.
28 Jan 2025 12:56:07
Spot on mk. I also think since covid everyone is that little bit angrier. And rightly so- it was a terrible time but I’d like to think its only become habit to be less tolerant of things we disagree with. On top of getting real good at arguing in front of a screen. I’m hoping as we collectively get over the trauma of covid- we can show a little more rationale, a little more kindness and patience. Doesn’t help though with clickbait media doing their best to rouse up that rage because it sells better. For the record, I like darwin, I think all three will sign with us, and I think the owners are decent enough. I won’t be devastated if we don’t sign anyone. However, if I have anything critical to say, I’d just like grav vvd and salah to get a few more rests.
27 Jan 2025 12:03:03
Nice to see a player sticking to their integrity. Not sure its a great move on his part but at least the mancs have us beat on this one. So let them have it. I don’t know much about hato- has anyone seen him play? Is he ready for the league? I love bringing in rough diamonds and love the Netherlands players we have- and unlike the national team - there are no issues with infighting between them which is always nice.
