Doubt it.

 

[CorNokZ]

Nobody knows what it is about and no one is saying anything. FIFA headquarters are not answering the phones either. Press meeting starts in 10 minutes

 

[Shagrat]

its live now

 

[Shagrat]

he's standing down!

 

[Raven]

He goone

 

[DaGaffer]

Woohoo!

 

[caLLous]

Well, shit. I didn't see that coming. Good times, happy days, etc.

 

[Moriath]

Hope they get someone good now. Someone pro europe and also sorts out qatar.

 

[Jupitus]

Huzzah!!!

 

[Raven]

Great news http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32986151

 

[Moriath]

Great news for everyone but liverpool. Hehe

 

[Embattle]

See Rafa got a 3 year deal at Real Madrid, not sure why they make them so long.

I'd love Real to go on to steamroller European football for 3 years.

Then for him to quit of his own accord after winning everything he can saying it's "too easy with this much money" and rejoin Liverpool

[Shagrat]

fuck me, premiership broadcast rights really is a massive chunk of cash isnt it!!

 

[Embattle]

Yes it is, just short of the total revenue Bundesliga.

 

[Shagrat]

you have to say, regardless of all the negatives associated with the premiership, its has been an amazingly successful business model.

 

[caLLous]

We're being quite heavily linked with Patrick Vieira today.

Nope. You're getting the wally with the brolly.

 

[Raven]

I honestly don't know why any manager would take the job. No manager is allowed to shape it how they want it under Ashley which means they get all the flack from the supporters and struggle in the league. Its a lose-lose situation for any manager.

 

[DaGaffer]

All this Raheem Sterling to United stuff is really irritating; apart from the fact he's not what United need, how likely is it Liverpool would sell to United anyway?

 

[caLLous]

If the last 80 odd years are anything go by, not very likely at all.

You can piss off sniffing around Lloris as well.

He has "an agreement" with Levy, much like those of Modric and Bale. I'm not sure I'd want "an agreement" with Levy tbh. It seems to hinge on us getting top 4 this season.

 

[Gray]

So i see Everton have signed Tom Cleverley, for free. Could be good for us and specially worth a shot if he's free!

 

[caLLous]

Oooh...

 

[Marc]

Easy easy easy!

 

[Litmus]

£60 win on 3-1

 

[Embattle]

It wasn't a great game as far as I was concerned, not sure why Pogba is rated so highly either although I will admit I've not seen him a great many times.

 

[caLLous]

He's rated highly because he is really good. I hope that clears it up for you.

 

[CorNokZ]

This picture.. All these feels. I can't handle them

 

[Embattle]

He's rated highly because he is really good. I hope that clears it up for you.

Well at best he is about half way to the level his agent and co seem to talk him up to, or the price tag constantly stuck around his neck.
