'It has become a running joke at Liverpool that, upon their return to pre-season training, nobody can beat Milner in the lactate test. When Andy Robertson attempted the fitness challenge for the first time, he was “sick everywhere”. Milner has won it in all seven seasons he has been at Anfield.'
SING him up!
SING him up!

Corrected for you
What's really weird is when you meet a Man U fan from Leeds.
It's just... wrong.
Like Geoff Boycott; who's full of Yorkshire this and Yorkshire that ... but supports Man U
(yes, I know he's not from Leeds but Fitzwilliam isn't that far away and it's still Yorkshire)

He should come to us for a couple of years then go to Leeds in the third div. .........sorted!

He’s probably been away from his friends and family for a long time now and that must be quite a pull. I hope he comes here for a couple of years as it will be good for the club and fans alike.

To be honest, I am not that bothered if he goes to Leeds, let's face it, he is not the last piece in the jigsaw puzzle is he...
If he goes there, it will be for personal reasons, like being closer to family, that makes sense to everyone.

I like the humour there. In all seriousness though, Lallana lived in the Bournemouth from the age of 5 so his was a return to the South Coast and, I guess, closer to his family so is a Southerner at heart whereas if Milner did go back to Leeds it would be understandable and not like Scholes who always said he would retire at Oldham but then didn't bother.Proposal: Don’t let Brighton sign James Milner
But mainly — Brighton, seriously? Come on, mate! Milner has never lost his pride in being a Leeds boy, a dour Yorkshireman, a gritty northerner. Retiring on the south coast, being shown around the prettiest beaches and nicest ice cream huts by Adam Lallana, just isn’t for him. It doesn’t matter how close you are to the sea in England, it’s never as nice as it looks on a postcard. And how much of a draw is the Europa League when you’ve already won the European Cup?

Brighton are proof it’s possible to be a sustainable Premier League club and still have fun. Give ‘em a biscuit. But please don’t give them James Milner.www.thesquareball.net

Can't say I'm bothered either way. Not that enthused about Milner. In the last 18m or so, I've viewed him as a weak link to be targetted at Liverpool.
If I'm brutally honest I hope he goes to Leeds or sign a new contract with Pool

I would be less surprised if Lallana and Milner took the place of RDZ when he moves on.
Is this something to do with breast-feeding? No wonder Robertson was chucking up.

I hope we sign him. Looked good when he came on and will be great in the dressing room. A winner. I'm sure Leeds is a pull for him but reckon he's waiting for the end of the season mainly out of respect for his current club. On Saturday, he was talking about 'one more game'.
It's not, in my experience, uncommon for people from smaller towns in Yorkshire to support Man U (or any other team) rather than a club from the nearest city like Leeds or Sheffield.
Like how a lot of Burnley fans come from west Yorkshire rather than supporting Leeds.
Yeah he could go home to Leeds but watch this game, who the f*** wouldn’t want to play for this team under RDZ?!

Especially the intelligent one's like Rosenior and Lallana. Work under RDeZ for a couple of seasons and learn the mystique and arts of this new breed of football. Then go and practice it yourself. Like a Harry Potter masterclass!
Bloody Hell Harry we are fantastic!
