GK Reina RB Johnson CB Abdennour CB Agger LB Robinson CDM Lucas CM Gerrard CAM Coutinho LW Tello RW Ince ST Suarez Subs McCarthy Kelly Enrique Allen Henderson Gameiro Sturridge Top 4 Squad For Sure

18 players.

"Top 4 squad for sure. "

Maybe if you have a time-machine and we can go back to 1986.

Abdenour is left sided mate I can't see him Agger and Enrique in the same back 4. Abdenour if he comes, will come in as left back and to cover Agger.

Ed002 have you picked the team for Fulham yet, and is suso starting? {Ed002's Note - He will be on the bench with a run out after 84 minutes.}

11 May 2013 06:49:19
mate I think shelvey will start. I hope he has a good game but I don't rate him that highly suso should definitely start last two games this his chance. on the other note I think hendreson will really excel in that deep midfield role.

I heard suso would get a run out after 83 mins, but I guess I could allow an extra min until the ball goes out of play

i have started to hate spurs. for years they've never bothered me and i've quite enjoyed watching them play. but now i can't stand them! they are linked with every player in world football and its starting to piss me off. i do wish we had someone like levy though. he really pushes for the top players and isn't scared of trying to sign big name players like liverpool are. we need some balls at our club because i cringe at the crap we are linked with every window. williams, mingnolet, weimann. what the fu*k are we playing at! we should be trying to sign players like dede eriksen and sanchez. no wonder we are mid table we have no ambition anymore with our signings {ed019's note - so you hate spurs for buying good players}

10 May 2013 22:21:25
ed with united buying up all the west brom tickets they are going to literally take over the hawthorns. surely this shouldn't be allowed, is there nothing they can do? {Ed052's Note - it has been banned now}

10 May 2013 20:27:51
Hi eds, great site is it true that roma's director of football has blocked the sanction of a transfer for Toby Alderweireld, if so could this pave a way for him to come to anfield this summer. {Ed019's Note - It certainly looks that way}

Hope he doesn't join. Couldn't afford the replica shirt.

10 May 2013 21:02:20
Hey Eds me again, just jumped back on and read through rest of todays posts and some1 mentioned Arda Turan and I to was wondering if LFC still hold any interest in him? Cheers guys and have a good evening. Peace ;-) {Ed052's Note - he may move this summer, but it wont be to us, however much he would like. He would cost too much}

11 May 2013 06:54:04
he has been linked to chelsea. I would rather buy michu for that amount of money.

10 May 2013 19:08:10
Hi eds, say Liverpool get bought by Ooredoo, the Qatari company, would we try sign players with big names, like Hazard, Mata etc. Or would we try and sign players like Isco, Munian? Thanks & Keep up the great work LFC13 {Ed052's Note - I cannot see us signing Ricky Van Wolfswinkel or Ruud Van Nistellroy. Or any otger big names. And being serious, no}

Whats puzzles me (appropriately) is that a large number of people on this site denigrate the sugar daddy owners of City, Chelsea et al, and yet others (maybe the same posters) seem to be looking forward to such an owner and listing all the star players we could sign.
Do we want to 'buy the title' as we have accused City and Chelsea ( and once upon a time, Blackburn) or do we not? Clarification needed!

Mate no team has won trophys without spending big!

Shankly when he entered at Liverpool within 3 days changed the full team and brought 13 new players and that only in his first 3 days and broke several transfer records, and in his first 2 years total brought 33 players again that only in 2 years to promote Liverpool for league, does that mean he bought promotion!

Paisley despite having a world class team given by shankly bought countless players and broke all british transfer records and went to achieve success which no Liverpool manager has done till now does that mean he bought success!

Kenny Dalglish again he had fantastic team of paisley but went to buy many players and broke every transfer record to continue winning trophy does that mean we bought success!

Sir Alex ferguson one of the best manager the british game has everseen, when he entered at united he was buying players and breaking every transfer record which were set by us like rain, evey year he was buying 5-6 players and seting new transfer records in british game like rain that's how he has achieved all this success, oh in 2000s he was buying players like ferdinand-33M, players like veron-28M etc does that mean he bought success

Chelsea didn't win any league or champions league until Abramovich does that mean they bought success

City from division club to League champions does that mean they bought success


You need to find some information mate, no club or team in history has won trophys or dominated without spending big!

Some of the managers I have mentioned above they are called leagends and one of the greats but yet spent big to achieve for what they are known today does that mean they bought all their success?

10 May 2013 23:08:51
So that means Liverpool have bought their history because when Liverpool were dominating they were breaking every transfer record, you can check in google how much history Liverpool has bought by money, maybe you were to young to know that.

Puzzled has a fair point though.
Yes we did and have always spent big when required to improve on the team we have or to maintain dominance, but actually Chelsea did Buy success and so have Man City, without question

Would Chelsea be where they are without a hugely wealthy billionaire who can throw millions for fun. No

Would Man City, No way otherwise they would have been dominant years ago.

I personally want LFC to be the best again but not at any cost. I actually do not want us to be owned by a billionaire if that billionaire is dodgy as hell.

Dont be naive to think chelsea's sugar daddy has not done many questionable things to get that sort of cash in a country largely very poor.


Gareth

All teams spend to get success and lfc need to because we no longer live in a world were the likes of Ipswich can win the league and when people look for a great manager take a look at what alf ramsey did at ipswich champions of the second division moved up to first division and won it the first year then went and won the world cup nice one I say. red mick tag

No-name above - I asked for clarification - not a lecture. I didn't make my personal views clear in my original post, I merely pointed out the diametrically opposing viewpoints on the subject, which regularly pop up on here.
But. one point I need to make.
there is a very large difference between 'buying big' or 'breaking
transfer records' which most of the
'top' sides had been doing (with varying degrees of success) and then simply drowning the game in
petro-dollars and smothering their
star purchases with obscene amounts of Wonga each month.
is that clear enough?

Puzzled

11 May 2013 10:56:23
Gareth mate are you kidding? You say yes we did then again go and point at chelsea and city,

The way city and chelsea are spending now it was the same what Liverpool were doing at that time, shankly used to fight with board to buy expensive players, you need to find some information mate, he even threaten to quit 4-5 times if the players weren't bought which he wanted, he even had said to media, boadrs are their to sign cheques not interfere or block the players which he wanted, at that time Liverpool were buying all class players and consistantly breaking transfer records, even more then city or chelsea doing now, shanlky used to buy 8-13 players a season at the sametime consistantly fighting with board.

Paisley took Liverpool to different level as he had already most expensive squad at that time at his disposal and continued spending big the same mantra which shanks used in a squad who already were filled with class players all over the pitch and went on to achieve success which no Liverpool or any manager has achieved, in 5 years he won 3 champions league trophys and couple of league titles that's how dominant we were and still continued spending big in a squad which was not needed, total in his 9 years won 6 league titles, 3 champions league trophys, 1 eurpean cup, couple of super cups, fa cups etc total 20+ trophys in just 9 years, his success ratio is more then any manager in world football past or present even fergie`s success ratio is no where near paisley,

Kenny did the same continued spending big in a squad which was not needed and again took Liverpool to the level which no teams could compete!

If you see the success or our history of club is because we were spending big and no team could compete with us financially or quality wise,

Now look how things are changing and how Liverpool were imploding,

Ferguson came at united and started spending big and easily compete with us financially, at other hand kenny was continuing winning trophys, but fergie and man united were breaking every transfer record to buy players, the gap was getting closer and closer and playing field was getting same now, because united were consistantly spending and their squad/team was matching our squad/team interms of quality, but yet kenny was still continuing winning trophys, then 96 tragedy happen and kenny decided to resign and we hired souness angain gave him big money to spend but he bought all average players at other hand fergie and united were continuing spending big and buying world class players and they over took us,

In this all years the only big factor was money, so why blame chelsea or city?

You deserve a lecture if you are Puzzled!

11 May 2013 11:20:24
The truth is its impossible to win major trophys or dominating without spending big!

Look at Rodgers every press conference he complains about the quality and how badly we need quality players to compete and that's the reality.

Eg let's take coutinho or borini etc we invest 3-4 years on them to take us to another level at the sametime teams like chelsea or city or united just go and buy world class players, all our efforts, hard work, time ect is washed out and we find ourselves in same situation because other teams just go and buy players to take them to another level which we invested money, time etc and still find ourselves in same situation, this was the same problem with arsenal that's why their youth policy massively failed.

10 May 2013 18:42:55
So what's happening with Alderweireld?

He's quoted in Dutch press today as saying he doesn't want to play for a club like Manchester City but he would like to play for a team like Liverpool who have a chance to get back to the top.

Apparently he was Roma bound only yesterday?

10 May 2013 18:03:11
this will be the saddest and most disgusting away shirt in our clubs history.

Entirely subjective.

BJH YNWA

I am actually more interested in the ability of the players wearing the jersey's than what they look like.

10 May 2013 17:31:38
Any interest in anton ferdinand ed considering we aren't linked to any good players as usual going by your posts {Ed023's Note - No}

Anton frikin ferdinand man i'd rather ave jimmy traore back, close call lol

Jesus christ please help us

10 May 2013 16:50:43
Close the gap on the top four?

Brendan rubbishter is his name.

Absolutely no chance. Is Brenda having a laugh?

As a special thank you for all his hard work Everton f. c. Would like to celebrate the achievements of david moyes.

Worry about moyes leaving your club

Yeah I agree, think he getting over excited about old whiskey nose stepping down. Unless fsg have told him to spend £100 million on 4 players

Yeah, you're right. He should have just said we'll stay midtable forever. That'd be a good morale booster eh?

10 May 2013 19:33:56
Haha Rodgers is talking about closing the gap on top4 where owners are talking of achieving top4, wow loving it. : )

Love the optamisum mate, you must be a pleasure to be around. Get A Grip.

True Red7

Indeed, Brenda is having a laugh.

We will win the talk Game BR talks a great Game and we will be streets ahead of other managers and teams in the talk business

10 May 2013 16:31:50
I've just read that Alderweireld has apparently said he hasn't made a decision on leaving Ajax and mentioned us as a possibility. Think he'd be the ideal replacement for Carragher and also takes me onto my question; How many defenders do you think we'll be looking to sign in the summer? With Carra retiring and Skrtel, Wilson & Coates potentially leaving we've only got Agger as an experienced defender, but with Wisdom & Kelly who can also shift across. I would say we need 2, but I'd like to see Coates go out on loan as he hasn't been given a proper chance to prove himself.

Appreciate the response and the awesome work you guys do here! {Ed002's Note - I would expect two and Alderweireld will be heading toward Rome. Coates wants out - and I think he will go.}

Alderwield mentioned a move to Liverpool today!

If I could choose a defender it would be Alderweireld. I'd dance a jig if he signed.

He would be a realistic option imo.

A move to Roma would be a strange choice.

No disrespect to them, Roma are a good side and they can offer European football - but Serie A is not the most attractive destination these days for a player of his ability.

We are Liverpool. That's why Suarez joined us. That's why we can compete for quality.

I can see him going elsewhere for sure - I think Barca could benefit from having a player like him - Chelsea also - but then, they never address these issues.

But Roma? If he did join them - I would think we must not have tried to get him.

Any hints on the Rome links ed?

I don't know BR's opinions on Alderweireld. I hope he gets the chequebook ready though. He's worth shelling out for.

We need quality, not the likes of Ashley Williams.

Christian erikson says that he wants to go some where were he is playing regularly

10 May 2013 16:46:16
tell him to go to the streets of brazil. he can play regularly. this guy has become another hazard in the making.

World class?

10 May 2013 14:54:11
I would play Wisdom next to Carragher for the next two games. Blood him at Centre back especially with Skrtel and Coates departing the club.

Fully agree don't see the point in playing players who won't be with us next season have full confidence in wisdom, sama on the bench as back up anyone?

Does anyone know if U21 red cards affect the senior team? I assume not but don't know. Otherwise, might it be worth giving Skrtel a couple of games to prove he might be able to play in our system? If he can he's a very good defender and can save us a shed load of cash, risk and instability

I think sama and wisdom against qpr for the last game of the season also let ibe have a run out.

Are you all having a laugh?

DaveyBootle

Davey explain yourself? What's so wrong with blooding our future rather than players that are not going to be at our club? I think your the that's got this wrong.

Carra's last ever game an you wanna stick him on the bench, shame on you
blooding kids is why we have a pre season

10 May 2013 14:50:52
What has happened to Royston Drenthe (spelling) I remember when he was on loan at Everton and being linked with us for a while. However after that spell I haven't heard a thing? {Ed002's Note - He joined Alania Vladikavkaz.}

Didn't he enjoy the pleasures of Liverpool a little too much? Remeber reading something. Bad idea to get him back there I would have thought, although he might be a good shaperone for AC if he returns!

HB

Vladikavkaz? Blimey, makes Anzi's full name look manageable

Indeed. He was 'marching' around town bugled up to the eye-balls.

10 May 2013 14:06:13
I expect Real, Barcelona, city and PSG to do a lot of business in summer. do you know which players may become available in summer? and which Liverpool has a chance to get their services?

my guess is,
Nasri goes to PSG and Menez becomes available.
Sakho & Gameiro are already available.
Cavani goes to city, Falcao goes to madrid so dzeko and higuain will be available.
Aguero goes to Barcelona. villa and Sanchez become available.

may be even a lot more but from these deals I believe we can realistically get the three PSG players
Menez, Sakho & Gameiro.

if suarez leaves then it becomes a whole different story.

and if all these three have a chance of changing management. in that's case, evern more players will become available.

may be it will be wise to wait until august to get the best deals as much the impatience will kill me. {Ed019's Note - Don't think this will happen}

10 May 2013 14:24:58
You ll be availble pretty soon here

10 May 2013 13:54:11
Christian tello, christian eriksen, victor wanyama and Jackson martinez Are being lined up with moves to Liverpool. these are the quality players the manager keeps talking about. Players will have to be sold in order to finance all these deals.

Who needs defenders

10 May 2013 13:09:42
Hi eds, do Liverpool have any interest in Abidal, Tello or Jackson Martinez? {Ed002's Note - Try the search function.}

10 May 2013 12:32:36
My dream summer?
Outs:
Reina - £8 million
Coates - £4 million
Spearing - £3 million
Assaidi - £4.5 million
Pacheco - £2 million
Carroll - £15 million
Total: £36 million

Ins:
Ochoa/Sorenson/Pantilimon: £5-10 million
Lovren: £8 million
Wanyama: £10 million
Mertens: £12 million
Aubemeyang/Bony: £12 million
Total: ~ £50 million

Net spent: ~ £14 million

Top 4 would be easily achievable.

You won't be seeing any of those players you suggested as ins in a Liverpool shirt I'm afraid

But we'll go for ince mccarthy and williams because that's the lack of ambition/knowledge our owners have

Why all this talk of selling Reina? He had a bad run, but even if you don't think hell ever get back to full form, which of those keepers can distribute the ball better than Reina? Which are devoted to the club like Reina and which would be able to command the defense like Reina? I'd be happy to keep Reina, AND I believe he's nearly back to top form. He's put in some goo performances in the last few months plus he says he wants to stay. On top of the fact that he's not going to draw a huge fee, how does selling him make sense at all?

RedYank

10 May 2013 14:29:18
But we'll go for ince mccarthy and williams because that's the lack of ambition/knowledge our owners have


No mate. never criticizes our owners. they did had ambition. they also had pretty good intereste.
and probably that's the reason. they heard all of us and bought KK to the manager post. and sanctioned him who ever he needs. on whatever the price are.
we wasted their silly money. window after window.
Owners are not responsible for our current position.

You are lucky that Liverpool is not owned by Levy. forget 15 mill he won't even spend 10 mill.

Is still the reason we have overpaid for some of the under average players.

who on earth will sanction 20 mill for downing mate?

Hardly a dream! Top 4 wouldn't be achieved with that by the way.

Wow so glad you are not in charge. I nearly stopped reading when you said sell Reina and buy Pantillomon.

Give some credit where it's due. Reina has been a lot better over the last few months.

I don't want to sell him. If he can keep up his current form it would be hard to find a better 'keeper.

He was magnificent once - and he's still young for a goalkeeper.

I recall many young 'keepers touted as 'the next big thing' at Anfield - and cracking under the pressure when they joined.

This isn't Champ Man (which I enjoy).

If it was - I'd want ter Stegen too. Doesn't everyone?

Gimme Pepe any day in real life though. He has a wealth of experience - the big games don't faze him.

I hope he keeps up his current form and plays a blinder next season.

10 May 2013 12:10:46
If I was kenwright I'd bring in allardyce he fits the bill, never won anything, big hoof football & hates us sounds to me like a perfect fit

Didnt he win a championship play off final? So west ham and alladyce are a slightlt more succesful and bigger team/manager to be fair

Doubt he'd leave a club like West Ham for Everton.

10 May 2013 11:39:11
Fergie retires - nobody knows in advance. Moyes in within 24hrs. No fuss, no media hype, no dragged out saga. Now that is the way to do business. FSG/ BR were you watching. All done under the radar. Great stuff. Have to admire them for that.
Red Knight {Ed002's Note - Nobody knew in advance because the retirement was unexpected. Moyes was already the preferred choice for next summer when he was expected to go.}

You mean you weren't 'hip' to Fergie's retirement ed002?
Hip, geddit. oh, I'll get me coat.
The Juicer

Ed02 is great, saves me reading the papers lol

When on the stock market, you're allowed no secrets red knight. It was simply rushed to save share prices from dropping.

I thought Ballers was gone!

10 May 2013 11:26:41
Stevie Gerrard testimonial tickets out in the post today :-D
The Juicer

Was going to go but don't think he will be playing after all that's happened.

10 May 2013 11:10:14
Hi eds, bit of fantasy football here but presumably torres will leave Chelsea in the summer are Liverpool in the running for him? {Ed002's Note - You mean as a replacement for Suarez?}

Why would we want Torres? He has almost the exact same goals per game ratio as Di Santo who is being released on a free by a team likely to be relegated. If he wasnt playing with Mata and Hazard he would literally have added nothing this season

10 May 2013 12:36:17
Has scored 23-29 goals this season not bad for a player who many say his finished!

Torres has scored 20 goals in 61 appearance this season and overall, 32 goals in 128 appearances. That's with Mata, Oscar, Hazard, a half decent Lampard and Ramires supporting him.

He is 29, has lost pace, confidence and a touch. He is behind Ba in the pecking order in a team that has only 2 strikers.

get the hint Mr. No Name?

The real AG

10 May 2013 10:26:06
If Liverpool are serious about getting top 4 and bridging the gap then they need to sign better players. It's that simple!

I believe we need to strengthen:
CB LB DM AM RW ST
CB: Alderwield 5-8m
CB LB DM: Gustavo 7-10m
AM: Eriksen 12-17m
ST: Remy 4-8m

Obviously a lot of outs to fund that and promote kids to cover some of the outs. {Ed002's Note - Alderweireld's already agreed to move elsewhere.}

10 May 2013 11:01:24
I can only see remy happening out there. or probably tello with 10 mill buyout clause.
errikson. 90% will hit to spurs.
gustavo am not sure. if he is availble for sale in this summer.

10 May 2013 11:42:11
Last year tello rejected us even for loan forget buying him, remy is a good player for team who play counter attacking, he won't suit our style at all!

Not saying I think it'll happen (I dont) but Tello rejected us for a loan because he wanted to stay and try and win his place in the Barca squad. If Barca decide to ship him out the situation is diffferent

10 May 2013 14:13:10
samsam9000 nope Barca told him he can leave and our academy manager went to talk to him and he completely rejected, he even said in media why would he leave Barca for Liverpool!

10 May 2013 14:33:26
It would be a great signing if we could tempt tello.
suarez sturridge and tello
with countinho behind.
excelent front line.

Exactly what I said, why would he leave Barca for Liverpool? However, if he was being told to leave Barca anyway it's a different situation than being told he will be allowed to go out

10 May 2013 09:28:15
Wow just looking at the 08/09 season we were a little unlucky not to win the league we have a great side but lads/ladies I really believe RODGERS is the man to get us bk there just keep the faith next year we will see our team hit the ground running and I believe we have a great chance of something big JON96

We would have if benitez wasnt so stubborn and played robbie keane.

instead of ngog all the time

LAVERS

To this day I remain baffled as to why we bought Keane, and then the next window sold him back at a loss without replacing him. I'd love to hear what was going on there (or if nothing particular was going on, what the thought process behind it was)

It was one of Rafa's 'Flop of the Window' whim samsam. He identified an average player, bought him for crazy money on crazy money, didn't play him and then sold him at a loss 6 months later.

Classic Rafa.

The real AG

10 May 2013 16:54:36
Robbie was no average player he has more international goals than any english player ever had. and for me he didn't get a fair crack at Liverpool even if he wasnt first choice striker we should have give him till the end of the season and at the end of it all ithink rafa got 15m back for him. Tommy Irish Red

Don't get me started on that stupid move by Rafa regarding Robbie Keane!

That's one of the main reasons why I would not like him back. That decision and 'fact' rant he his hindered our best chance at the title in years!

Imagine how we could have pushed on from winning the title.

10 May 2013 18:24:06
The real AG your talking rubbish mate, robie wasn't rafa choice it was parry who forced us to buy robie instead of Villa who was rafa`s choice, at the sametime robie was let cheap again it was not because of rafa it was a serious matter which we can't talk on this site, but I'm sure ed1 knows the actual reason! {Ed001's Note - Rafa did want Keane, as he has said in full himself. His issue was that he wanted Barry too, and Parry made a mess of that deal.}

10 May 2013 22:30:10
Ed1 not only he made mess of barry but the list is very long

Aguero
Villa
David silva
Jovetic etc etc. : (

When Rafa signed Robbie and said he could play on the left wing. I knew it would end badly.

What gets me is that Robbie started poorly (playing out of position) - then gradually improved - and then started scoring goals -

and then Rafa dropped him.

Crazy.

I heard it was to do with an off-field issue, but anyone who believes the myth that Robbie Keane was by any means a bad player - or that he was simply 's***' (as I often hear people say - joining the British media chorus as always) has no clue about football.

I wouldn't even humour a discussion on the matter.

A great striker. His record speaks for itself - not just goals, but assists too - and he works his arse off, always.

Total ignorance to say otherwise.

Hi Ed002,
the season is almost over, nothing really left to play for, so we can start thinking about the next season. Let`s assume for now, that no one from the starting 11 and bench players leave. Who are we looking for? A defender, a winger and a striker? I really think that selling Meireles was a big mistake. All the best. {Ed002's Note - THis has been done to death.}

Meireles!

lol.

Good Lord!

hye eds.
what is the situation with botia?you said rodgers was interested in him. but now, spurs are also interested. do you think we will get him?if spurs get him, do you think rodgers will try to sign caulker? as they worked together at swansea. {Ed023's Note - I don't think Spurs would sell Caulker. We have an interest in Botia so of course Spurs will automatically have an interest (same scouts I think lol) I think if we went for Botia we would have a very good chance but as Ed001 would tell you Medel is the player we should be going for from Sevilla.}

10 May 2013 07:42:03
perfect ed. I agree with you. medal is a gem of a player.

I know Youtube is'nt what you should judge a player by but i've just scanned 3 video's of Medal and he's a hobbit with a big mouth who run's around without actually breaking up attacks. so why we should go for this guy is beyond me.

3 videos on Youtube? that's what your basing an opinion on? Why not watch him on a consistent basis and then make up your mind.

Just hours after David Moyes was named the new manager of Manchester United, fans were already coming together on social networking sites to call for his sacking.
The hashtag #MoyesOut was quickly trending on Twitter but the club are not concerned that United fans are responsible as almost all tweets came from the Manchester area.

10 May 2013 07:14:33
That's because they are Manchester United and they deserve better! Like the FA giving them and automatic win each week, and whichever players they want for free! And a golden horse!

You may have missed the witty and ironic final sentence

10 May 2013 13:49:06
I'm sorry, it was early and I was tired :-/ but there has been a lot on the #moyesout front

Im a red through and through but just want my fellow Reds to win a few quid, I've just put 200 on Chelsea next year at 3/1. i'm a betting man so wasnt off the cuff, weighed everything up and the value of 3/1 is a steal. City are 11/8 and United 13/8 with some bookies. As soon as Mourinho is confirmed and the 30+ million signings they will no doubt do throughout the summer are made, then come the start of the season that 3/1 will be but a dream. 13/8 most probably. So get on it now and win a few quid. Not having a bet on it but I well reckon we will make the top 4. YNWA.

You will be a disappointed man

You put 200 on a team you don't even support winning the league before anything about their future is even confirmed? You may be brave, but you are not a betting man - a betting man plays the odds. You are a man who just enjoys betting

Is reliable he supposedly has ties to the club and I sometimes see ed16 tweeting him and replying to his tweets I just want to know if I'm wasting my time reading his account or if he genuinely has information about the club thanks in advance great site by the way {Ed001's Note - I never knew we had an Ed016!}

Is it possibly you're confusing the editors of this site with a guy called Edward who has some connection to the number 16?
