What you didn't know is that he actually shaves it off every day after his morning shower and the thing grows back by the time he leaves his house.

"The thing" is actually quite an apt description of that tuft of hair he had. ;D
Rafa Benitez: "I'll always keep in my heart the good times I've had here, the strong and loyal support of the fans in the tough times and the love from Liverpool. I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager. Thank you so much once more and always remember: You'll never walk alone."

Anfield HQ @AnfieldHQ

📸 Virgil Van Dijk has joined Rangers at their pre-season training camp.

The Liverpool defender, who won the Champions League last season, was spotted at the training facilities with his personal trainer.

Replying to @AnfieldHQ

I didn’t join anyone or anything, I was having my own training session at the same ground they are 🤷🏽‍♂️


Those fuckers continue to get caught out don't they? Its the second time they've been called out by a Liverpool player for talking absolute shite in the past week.

What a non-story, attention seekers on Twitter making stuff up. You can tell the season is over! ;D

Just treat them the same way people treat Indykaila - bullshit merchants who should just be ignored. They want publicity and attention and they know they can get it on Twitter.

edit - Both Virgil and AnfieldHQ have deleted their tweets.

I think this one seemed innocuous - it didn’t seem like they were shit stirring and it looks like it was taken out of context. No one really believes he was “joining” Rangers do they?

Indykaila is a parody account.

Anfield HQ were quoting a Scottish newspaper not making it up on their own. Still awful account mind.

Anfield HQ is dreadful, wouldn't be surprised if it's not ran by LFC fans either.  Same as a fair few of the big Twitter LFC accounts, just professional accounts made for likes and clickthroughs to monetised websites.

I'm starting to think Alisson has a chance too. 9 clean sheets in a row, which have taken Liverpool to the CL trophy and Brazil to the Copa final (so far), frustrating Messi twice in semi-finals.

No we don't.

Modric won it last year, having won the CL, and leading Croatia to WC final. He doesn't need to do anything more than what he has already. The Super Cup and Community Shield mean fck all to the rest of the world.

Don't be so sure, Sneijder was in the final of the World Cup and won the Champions League with Inter, had an amazing season, and not only he didn't get it, he wasn't even in top3 (Messi, Xavi, Iniesta) and i think Xavi got it (or Messi I'm not quite sure.

The thing is Messi is globally more supported and known as "best footballer on the planet",  many folks don't consider this as an yearly award and give credit to Messi for what he has done in the past decade.
I agree Virgil should've already won it but you never know about this votes.

And to be honest it seems unfair that national trophies count, no way Salah can win the world cup with Egypt... as if for neymar, it's very possible to do it with brasil.

Xavi didn't get it. Messi got it. That was also 10 years ago, and considering that Messi was laughably 5th last year behind Griezman, for instance, it's apparent that things have changed on how people vote.

Non the less my main point was that it's utter nonsense to suggest that the Super Cup and Community shield need to be won for him to win it. If he doesn't win it, it won't be because of the results in those matches. It's baffling why anyone would think so otherwise.

I think the fact that the media is reporting Messi and VVD as the frontrunners for the competition more or less means VVD just about has it in the bag, barring if we concede a million goals before the end of voting.

Trophies are a big part of winning it, but more than that, it's the popular narrative that's important. Modric won it because Croatia making it to the final of the CL is a huge deal, and it'll be the same for VVD if he wins, because Liverpool winning the CL is regarded as a good news story - old European royalty overcoming the odds to reemerge as a top team in Europe.

The only narrative that beats that is a sentimental award for old man Messi having another great, albeit ultimately tragically sad season as he's let down by his teammates. But I don't think that's the story. The story, as I said, is man mountain VVD leading Liverpool back to the peak of European football.

When he wins I'm going to cry myself to sleep. Called it @40/1 months ago, shared it on here, forgot to back it as I went to an interview for a job I didn't even get, came back and he was 12/1  ::) These kinda votes are easy enough to read. I told everyone that would listen that if Croatia beat England Modric gets Golden Ball regardless of what happens in the final. That one I did back on time at least

He is definitely winning. And he will fully deserve it as well. If there was a football version of Space Jam he would make the team easy.  The guy is a true monster defender. If he wasn't playing football he would be attacking Tokyo right about now! Not a single weakness, or area to improve. He is good enough to score 10 goals a season but not counting that as an area of improvement because he scored 6 and how many defenders actually score 10 goals when penalties are not included. None is the answer.

Wonder how Messi's recent comments saying that the Copa America is corrupt and all his whinging about officials will impact his chances.
