I'm a long term STH but a fairly lapsed away fan, so I accept I'll be nowhere near the front of the queue for Europe away, and rightly so. But if we get some nice destinations in the draw, then I'm certainly up for a city break for a couple of nights with the OFFCHANCE of snaffling a ticket. At...

I'm not sure what your source is for RDZ basically telling Sanchez "you're never playing for me again" at that point after the Everton debacle. And yes we shipped 5, but since when does that ALL get put down to the keeper ? We were collectively off it that day as a team, you can't just point at...

From a BHA point of view I'm quite glad he's not going to be lining up against us again. He absolutely tore us a new one at the Amex in a Chelsea shirt a few years ago, albeit he's obviously not the player he was back then, but he was really good at Fulham last season. Surprised at this though...

I don't think anyone is disputing that he's a good keeper - its his stinking attitude that was the issue. I'd have been very happy going into this season with Sanchez and Steele vying for the No1 shirt, but unfortunately Sanchez felt that fighting for the shirt here was now somewhat beneath him...

Liverpool must be getting heartily SICK of getting monstered by DeZerbiball :lolol:

If you can't adapt your game, then tough shit. Other players at the back have adapted to RDZ's style and flourished under it. Its not like Sanchez was being asked to play at fullback is it - he's still ultimately there to be a shotstopper, but in the modern game its essential that goalkeepers...

Admittedly just regurgitating what I heard on a pod the other week, I haven't done a deep dive into the taxation laws of the middle east. But it did say 2 years minimum over there for a tax free bingo.

As mentioned elsewhere, if you want your filthy arab dough tax free, you have to be there 2 years minimum.

Went for 10th, hoping to go balls-deep in Europe. Which I'd take all day long. Get out of the group, and every game is a tie to make the Champions League.

Frankly I just cannot BELIEVE the traction this utter bollocks about Caicedo tonight is actually getting, either on here or anywhere else. Seriously - its not even worth discussing. Just leave it and crack on about the gongs if thats your thing.

Well....truth is... I can't be arsed going to friendlies

As a general rule, I would rather palm-slap a rusty teaspoon into my own eye socket than watch an awards ceremony.

Totally disagree. Its sparked quite an interesting thread IMO, compared with a lot of the post-season bollocks posted on here (my own guff included).

Absolutely. I'm a bit of a sucker for a good tribute act, tbh.

I struggle to relate to people who have zero interest in sport (not just football). Probably all but 1 of my mates are sports fanatics, and the one who isn't - well, we can talk about other stuff, but I still find it a bit weird. My other half is a long way from being a sports fanatic, but she...

Players have to be in Saudi for a minimum of 2 years in order to get paid tax-free, so dipping over there just for 1 season is probably not an option they'd take (given the out-and-out greed that drives their decisions).

Just binged S1 of "FROM", on Sky Sci-Fi. Its about a small american town in the middle of nowhere, where people arrive and can never escape. You drive along a road, come to a downed tree blocking it, turn back to try and find another route but you're trapped in a constant "loop" whereby...

Yeah. Good luck with that.

Its all bollocks. They ALWAYS introduce a new set of rules / guidelines just before the season starts. There's this one, then the other day about adding time on for goal celebrations. It might get imposed a couple of times in the first few months, but will just as quickly be completely...
