The Boozer / Re: Anyone got the Classis Liverpool-Newcastle FA Cup final?

« Last post by Statto Red on Today at 04:23:22 am »

Here's the full match

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKiM3anKQqE

I was only as few weeks old at the time of the final, but stories i've heard since, Malcolm McDonald was in the media all that week boasting he was going to tear us a new one, then went missing in the match as we schooled them.

The first half we had more of the play but very few chances, the match opened up in the second half, Alec Lindsay had a goal wrongly disallowed for offside, the ball came off a Newcastle player, Keegan opened up the scoring & the legendary commentary on the 3rd goal

Incidentally Terry Mac was in the Newcastle team that day

Welcome to Wrexham season 3 is now up, first 2 episodes are quite good, seems to be more focused on dressing room stuff, particularly from the first match of the season & the Swindon match both of which were wild.

Watkins does play in a similar vein to Nunez in terms of what he is asked to do in all seriousness.

Like I've stated here someone that watches Villa every week thinks that he has vastly over achieved, his first touch is very iffy etc.

Isak on the other hand is very similar to Haaland in the way he plays, which despite being the best striker on the planet the actual profile of the player without the super human finishing ability (Haaland) would not be what Klopp would have wanted.

I find it weird that Watkins performing well this season is deemed as over-achieving, and Darwin’s only season in which he “over-achieved” is viewed as his norm. I also find it weird that variance is kindly accepted as the reason Darwin will eventually be elite, when the statistical probability is that he will continue to under-achieve. Also, why is having an iffy first touch used as a stick to beat on Watkins, when Darwin’s first touch is obviously one of his worst attributes? Am I making sense? Just curious

Every single Christmas special of a comedy show that has been finished for a number of years has been utter utter utter dogshit. And you can’t change my mind.

22 - Detectorists, that was 5 years after it ended.
96 - Only Fools and Horses (Heroes and Villains)

By and large though, yeah.

This is well worth a read from the always perceptive George Monbiot:

Superb stuff.

You might as well pin this piece into the 'The corruption fallacy - they’re all out to get us!' thread.

We know we’re being lied to, we know justice is not done, we see the beneficiaries flaunting their immense wealth and undemocratic power. Conspiracy fantasists may get the facts wrong, “but often get the feelings right”.

Not much difference in height to the likes of TAA, Salah, Mac Allister, Elliott. I'd imagine if we were interested it wouldn't be as someone who could contribute immediately. Might end up spending time bulking up as there's been quite a few wingers from La Liga that end up getting bullied out of the PL (Gil at Spurs being a recent example). The lack of end product is off-putting.

Just have fun. Team might even play well if they relax and don't worry about the result.

Don't play kids for the sake of it, play a team that can play high tempo, attacking footy. Also play those who've played the biggest part in our success, this should be a celebration.

Milner was not the No1 penalty taker.

Salah arrived in the summer of 2017. At the start of that season Firmino was on penalties despite Milner and Salah being on the pitch. That was because Milner missed a crucial penalty during the Southampton game that finished 0-0 that almost cost us top 4 the previous season.

At the start of that season we didn't have a regular penalty taker.

Here is proof.



Milner no1 penalty taker my arse.

Lol how can a post be this wrong on so many levels? I can't tell if you're actually ignorant or just acting like child to win over such a small detail, so small that even if you win, won't even prove the main point.

Even in that post you already admitted Milner was the no1 pen taker in the 16/17 season.

Then in the "proof" you showed, what actually happened in those games was:



- every time Milner took a pen, at least one of the front 3 was on the pitch
- every time another player took a pen, Milner was not on the pitch, except for two occasions where Salah took the pens. One was the 1st pen he ever took for Liverpool, maybe Klopp wanted to change the no1 pen taker there, but he missed, so that role went back to Milner. Second was when we were up 2-0 in the 80th min against a relegation fodder, which probably means Milner let Salah take to pad his goal stats.

Go on and check the 18/19 season. I dare you to come back here to make that ridiculous statement. Every Liverpool fan knows Milner was the no 1 pen taker when he's on the pitch. Fucking ask Klopp.

And finally, let's pretend in a paralel universe where Milner is not the no 1 pen taker for us, what does it have anything to do with who is tasked with being the main goalscorer lol?
