[Ravishing Rick Dude]

What a shite club. They lost to us, and now they want a total clearance.

Rakitic sounds like a good guy here. Popped up on my FB feed

“I respect gays but do not want them in the same dressing room. I would not exit a team because of that, for I respect gays just like I respect dwarves, fat people and black people, but if possible I'd rather not have gay people in my life”

He's up for sale from Barca. Maybe against his wishes? If so- he just drove the price way down! On purpose?

What a odd train of thought.

"I mean I don't have an issue with gays, but if they were in the dressing room with me they'd probably find me so attractive they wouldn't be able to help themselves and walk around with stiffys or something"

Putting the the homophobia aside, when he was speaking why did he specify dwarves, fat people and black people? Does he also not like fat people, black people and dwarves? Also, Dwarves? How many of them has he been around to have that on his mind? Does he think of dwarves often and decided that he'd rather not see them or had he just seen Snow White so immediately thought of dwarves?

its from 7 years ago, if he still has those same views it’s a problem but if he’s realised he was wrong since then it’s a non issue

I always find it interesting how people, not affected by an issue will tell others it's ok.

No I didn’t say it was ok, read it again

I didn’t actually see him say he dislikes gay people though !

Just not in dressing room Where he will be naked. Same as women and men

This is how I read it anyway. The idea he doesn’t want them in there out of pure hate or homophobia would make him almost Nazi like. If that’s the case then he’s a c*nt l. But I didnt see it like that, just old fashioned

It’s needed tbf

Average age is 30 and ridiculously reliant on one man. Wedve strolled that withouth him

[CHOPPER]

It's ok to be not ok, by people being ok with people being not ok. Ok.

Please tell me something got lost in translation on that?  He sounds like a complete stiffy.

Just means he respects Messi, Suárez and Dembele

[vagabond]

It's a disgusting statement and I'm shocked his PR team let it get published. Let's hope he's changed his mind since then.

[drmick]

I'm just realising it is possible to be an overweight, gay, black short person.

I wonder what Rakitic thinks of Oompa Loopas?

[Agent99]

I follow Dan Kennett on Twitter and while he hasn't posted them yet, he mentioned yesterday that Coutinho's numbers for us in the #8 were outstanding and he is going to detail it out soon.

What position is classed as an 8? Phil played on the left and at the tip of a diamond under Rodgers didn't he so is this classed as an 8? I suppose one would maybe be classed as a 10?

[TepidT2O]

Help to another €5m!

Philipe the liar countinho starts his 75th game for Barcelona this triggering a clause in his contract paying us €5m for every 25 games played (up to 100).

That’s €10m extra in a week



I don’t expect him to play in another CL semi for them or make another 25 appearances, so the final fee for Coutinho will stand at €150m

Kerching

[I've been a good boy]

That's easily the best business we've ever done. Sold a sulking, dishonest child to gain two absolute monsters in VVD and Alisson.

[clinical]

Yep there's another €5m euros.

Just €5m more if he gets to 100.

Only outstanding part of his fee if the echo are right about champions league quarter finals.

[SerbianScouser]

Haha Messi looked utterly depressed today. Couldn't bother to celebrate his goal even a little bit. Think he'll remember us for a very long time.

[mickeydocs]

Yep there's another €5m euros.

Have either of our ex-players currently at Barca congratulated their former club for reaching the CL final?

Barca fans getting a little fed up of us.

 

[Cu Chulainn]

I have no idea why they're so upset, they'd probably have Spursed it up in the final against Spurs anyway.

[Mighty Zeus]

I have no idea why they're so upset, they'd probably have Spursed it up in the final against Spurs anyway.

Apparently we're about to 'highjack' their move for de Ligt, who they have 'earmarked' as a long term replacement for Buckets and this has 'pissed them off', the entitled 'c*nts'.

[harleydanger]

I hope pissing off Barca is our new club past time.

[Scottymuser]

De Ligt is a CB - if they are crazy enough to believe he could replace Disco Biscuits in DM then lol.  Especially as they already had bought an Ajax midfielder this season already.

[Mighty Zeus]

"Dogs without honor have lost my respect @LFC"

We can always buy some more honour with the money left over from selling them Coutinho, who they very honourably bought from us after behaving in a perfectly honourable fashion. Mas que en club!

[Peabee]

Just not in dressing room Where he will be naked. Same as women and men

This is how I read it anyway. The idea he doesn’t want them in there out of pure hate or homophobia would make him almost Nazi like. If that’s the case then he’s a c*nt l. But I didnt see it like that, just old fashioned

“Old fashioned”? He’s in his 20s. Isn’t that the excuse people usually make for their racist or homophobic grandparents?

[rob1966]

Unless the translator was an idiot, can't see them getting it so wrong from Croatian to Spanish

Respeto a los homosexuales, pero no quiero a esa gente en el vestuario. No me marcharía de un equipo por eso, porque respeto igual a un homosexual que a un negro, un gordo o un enano, pero de ser posible prefiero no tener a gays en mi vida.

[surfer. Fuck you generator.]

Barca of all clubs should be salty.

Coutinho has to be among the greatest transfers in the game's history for the sell side.

- Bought him for 8.5 million pounds
- Sold for around 105 rising to 140, the money in large part funding our step up to go sit at the big boys' table through excellent subsequent recruitment
- Was a very useful player, without ever approaching the Gerrard / Suarez / Mane / Salah / Van Dijk / Alisson level of importance to the team. Replaced easily.
- Get this, we did all this without actually improving Barcelona. 100 million plus in profit, without actually improving a rival in Europe.

Looked it up, he's actually the 3rd most expensive transfer in the game currently.

Should replace Leo Di Caprio's mug in 'Catch Me if You Can' with the Liverpool club crest.

[SerbianScouser]

In my lifetime we've beaten them in Uefa cup semi-final in the treble season, last 16 in `07 and this year (don't care about the group stages in `02).

Basically Barca are our bitches.

[him_15]

We should really thank PSG buying Neymar from Barcelona.

[Indomitable_Carp]

We should really thank PSG buying Neymar from Barcelona.

Why?! He largely disappeared at Anfield and all. Same shithouse tactics as well. Watching Milner wipe him out in the first few minutes was one of this seasons many great joys.

"...but if possible I'd rather not have gay people in my life"

I'm assuming you missed the end of the quote, as it's pretty emphatic. I am wondering if it is definitely a quote from Rakitic though?

[TepidT2O]

Yep.

Barca didn’t prepare for it.  Why not? It was rumoured for moths.

And we screwed them fully, the Nike leak helped too.  But we’ve now cleared in excess of £130m on him... very good money.

[Red Beret]

"Dogs without honor have lost my respect @LFC"

Mascherano
Suarez
Coutinho

And they have the nerve to say we're without honour.

[Machae]

They jeered half the team yesterday. Coutinho took the brunt of it. Poor Phil

Wonder how he feels, playing for a club that just got royally buggered?

Fuck Phil. Treated us like crap. sod him

Probably a good time letting them know that game cost them another £4.4m
