Here in the States, all the games are on NBC affiliates if you have cable which I do. Happy Days!


17 May 2017 07:26:49
According to the Echo.
The two live games are us and City.


16 May 2017 21:38:56
Fulham have lost the play off we are signing R S 😜.

Believable9 Unbelievable3

16 May 2017 21:42:24
I still think he will stay for another season. He is still a kid and won't be able to fully be part of the first team squad as he has school I think (I think it was Ed002 herself who alluded to this)

Res Sandman.


16 May 2017 21:47:21
God I hope we sign him, the kid is special. Can't handle another season of Milner cutting in on his right slowing down every possible attack before lofting the ball into the air with no pace into the keepers gloves.


16 May 2017 22:11:16
No one else is afraid we'll ruin him if we sign him?

It's not that I doubt the lad's ability, I doubt our ability. We have a poor record with young players of late.


16 May 2017 22:24:25
We need to go there with out hat in our hands and apologise for the Dempsie business. Offer them the right money that they deserve for him as well. Going to be a cracking player. He's a Liverpool supporter as well.


16 May 2017 23:51:11
He's different class. Put him in from the start.


17 May 2017 05:38:19
He'd be a great signing but also needs the time to develop. He's a kid with bags of talent and great potential but he needs the time (and freedom) to settle in, learn (which involves making mistakes) and mature into what he is capable of becoming without people getting on his back.


17 May 2017 08:43:19
He would get a decent run of games with all the mid week Europe action, both him and Milner can cover that position for the season.


17 May 2017 09:15:46
@King Carlos - I think we need to look beyond Milner, as first-teamer or substitute, if we really want to sort out our defensive issues. He is certainly not the only culprit but a part of a fractured unit that needs upgrading. If Milner acts as cover then we will have the same issues at left-back when he is called upon to cover - I can't see the point of that.


17 May 2017 16:14:17
Sign Pereira for Clyne and Sessegnon for Moreno - play Milner and TAA at RB and Pereira and Sessegnon at LB

Two seniors and two up and coming talents to play in cups/ rotate, and both Pereira and Milner can play both sides.


17 May 2017 23:41:44
That would be my call as well, Zimbo.


16 May 2017 21:24:09
Well there it is, we will have to do our job this weekend to get top 4. I would usually say 'I wouldn't have it any other way' but I would be a bald face liar if I said that.

Believable7 Unbelievable0

16 May 2017 21:48:46
If we can't beat an already relegated team on the last day, then we don't deserve it.


16 May 2017 22:57:17
Arsenal have to win to even challenge us.


17 May 2017 01:21:16
Ron, Everton will roll over and have their small little tummies tickled for them just to keep us out of the top 4. We don't call them bitters for nothing.


17 May 2017 07:39:55
I'm fed up of reading this childish attitude that Everton will throw the game to spite us as it simply won't happen.

How many stalwart evertonians are in that starting 11 who would give a toss where Liverpool finish?

It's a pathetic notion and the fact of the matter is, if we fail to finish 4th it will be our doing only and no-one else's.


17 May 2017 09:17:39
You underestimate the level of bitterness that runs through Everton 87red - do you not remember their own fans booing their own team when they were winning against City near the end of the 2013/ 14 season?


17 May 2017 12:22:41
fans being the critical word there Seano, not players.

I'm sure a decent portion of everton fans would happily lose to stick it to us but the players is an entirely different matter.


16 May 2017 21:21:13
Arsenal 1-0 up and 5-live continually referring to goal. difference.
Why?

Believable3 Unbelievable0

16 May 2017 21:52:47
They are talking about if we lose and Arsenal draw.


16 May 2017 22:09:01
If we lose and Arsenal draw on Sunday then as long as we don't lose by more than one we make top 4. Had Arsenal won by 4 it would be the other way round.

I think there's a permutation that if we lose 2-0 and Arsenal draw 1-1 we are level on goal difference and goals scored. There could be a play off scenario then.

It's all hypothetical though. We're going to win in style on Sunday!


16 May 2017 22:19:06
Either a clueless commentator or a pathetic attempt to drum up interest. The only scenario which would have been relevant had Arsenal scored 4 was if we lose to Boro and Arsenal draw with the Toffees.


16 May 2017 22:30:59
In case they draw and we lose next weekend. Obviously.


16 May 2017 21:13:41
Any chance of an updated premier league team of the season ed001?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - yes mate, I will do it in the close season.}

16 May 2017 21:04:07
I wouldn't mind Balde Keita from lazio. plays left wing and can play as striker too. young and quick.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath.}

17 May 2017 12:52:45
Why Is that an unrealistic target ed?


{Ed002's Note - Liverpool has no, zero, zip, nada interest in him.}

16 May 2017 20:40:40
How good has mingolet become recently I note they have changed the training to include some impact training but he's come on alot. Is JA still the coach or is there any other influence in the GK coaching to attribute to the upturn?

Believable8 Unbelievable0

16 May 2017 21:33:17
JA is still the GK coach as far as I'm aware Bobby, he was certainly on the bench against West ham :)


16 May 2017 22:58:44
Migs still has his moments, the Jordan Ayew attempt from the corner which hit the post twice. Where was Migs?


{Ed007's Note -

16 May 2017 21:47:05
He certainly looks more confident going for high balls and is much more assertive than in previous years. He even looks more comfortable with the ball at his feet. Note Im not saying brilliant with it.

Question for Ed001 - do you happen to know what Migs is like at training. Does he work hard?


{Ed001's Note - he certainly has been this season. The pressure of another number one has done him good.}

17 May 2017 09:50:21
Harsh on Mignolet that Ron Ayew was completely unmarked with Lovren intent on just watching him have a couple of shots - no keeper lingers at the far post when a corner is being whipped in - it was crap, brainless defending and, in my opinion, not the fault of Mignolet.


17 May 2017 10:45:38
Real competition waiting to step back into his position has driven him on. Now we need to build that competition throughout the squad.


16 May 2017 19:01:20
Really fancy Sunderland to do us a favour tonight.1-0 my prediction beachball to score the only goal, he owes us one😂.

Believable4 Unbelievable1

16 May 2017 20:11:07
Well they are holding out 25 in if they draw do we just not have to loose against boro?


16 May 2017 20:32:51
45 gone if it get to 70-75 arsenal will panic.


16 May 2017 20:44:46
If arsenal draw, we're pretty much done as long as Arsenal don't make up a goal difference deficit of 4 in winning their final game/ us losing.


16 May 2017 21:05:07
60 gone and still 0-0 Sunderland under seige but could have been 1 up.


16 May 2017 21:15:44
1-0 arsenal Sanchez with the goal sloppy by Sunderland one of the reason they are going down . spirited but not enough story of there season.


16 May 2017 23:53:34
Beachball wasnt even on the bench. Moyes got his tactics all wrong again.


16 May 2017 17:52:53
Ed you have said all season that Moreno is trying but can't seem to learn or apply what he has learnt. Do you see his 'top flight' career over, or do you think he can have a decent career at a midtable Spanish club?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - Sevilla would love to have him back.}

16 May 2017 20:06:40
Any chance of him becoming a left winger rather than left back? Seems to be half decent attacking just not so great defending.


{Ed001's Note - he was a very poor left winger who became a left back.}

16 May 2017 15:56:47
hope W. B. A can do us a favour a get one of there bore draws tonight. then it could be a straight shoot out sunday for 3rd place. come on you baggies. same for sunderland but don't hold much hope there.

Believable7 Unbelievable1

16 May 2017 17:16:28
Did you not see Pulis send Foster up at the end of our recent game?
He HATES Klopp.
He will make sure that City win.


16 May 2017 17:47:24
A manager sends up the goalie when they are losing a game - must hate klopp.


16 May 2017 17:31:40
Pulls didn't send foster up.


16 May 2017 18:24:56
Yeah, in the post-match interview Pulis seemed quite aggrieved that Foster went up for the corner.

Said something to the effect of, "I don't usually allow my keepers to go up front, but I haven't yet had that conversation with him so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. But he'll know not to from now on. "


16 May 2017 19:12:18
Yes, he did or have you forgotten how he had to tackle Wiji to stop him from advancing the counter attack. That said, Pulis does not like LFC period as he like Allardyce, is a Fergie disciple but that does not mean that he hates Klopp personally.


16 May 2017 19:12:57
He's a Utd supporter who regularly hung out of Ferguson.

Horrible little get that Pulis.


{Ed001's Note - but he defo never sent Foster up - he was screaming at him to get back.}

16 May 2017 15:26:30
Hi Eds did anything come of the Facebook page you trialled or have I made the whole thing up?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - I have no idea, I have not got FB nor did I do any FB page.}

16 May 2017 15:52:54
There's the Ed002 Appreciation Society page on Facebook if that's what you're talking about.


16 May 2017 21:02:48
Think it related to a competition to have a live debate with the Eds which Harry ended up doing?


{Ed002's Note - Have you signed up for the Ed002 Appreciation Society at: tinyurl.com/c6j7t2m }

New image uploaded to the

16 May 2017 11:03:43
Nothing to back this up really but I just have a feeling that our summer transfers will be Robertson n McGuire from hull, bale and defoe. bale would be awesom, cost a lot, but could get the Defoe nothing, and the other 2 for 25 mil. Pure hope but I would be well chuffed with those realistic 4.

Believable1 Unbelievable28

16 May 2017 11:15:23
Do you mean Gareth Bale? If so there's no chance. Even if he was available we would be at the end of the queue.


16 May 2017 11:24:47
Maybe I'm missing something but do you mean Gareth Bale? Not realistic target at all. I don't think Defoe is what we need either.


16 May 2017 11:26:41
Hahahaha! Realistic 3, other one less realistic than Liverpool signing me to replace Mane!


16 May 2017 11:27:57
Not sure if Christian Bale plays footie. Maybe he is a hidden gem?


16 May 2017 11:26:17
I want what you are smoking.


16 May 2017 13:08:19
Nothing to back it up with? 'cept Liverpoolecho saying Roberston is a done deal and that we're also looking at McGuire? :p.


16 May 2017 14:41:47
I don't believe any of those rumours. Why? Macguire is pants (he's not even better than Wisdom) and Robertson is not good enough for CL or top PL level.


16 May 2017 16:26:02
Oh dear. 😂.


16 May 2017 16:27:15
Strange that ed002 hasn't commented on the Gareth Bale rumour 🤔.


16 May 2017 17:11:34
Bale at LB - awesome!


16 May 2017 17:51:23
Bale 'realistic' come on mate.

Question for the Eds. Now that another season is nearing it's end Would it be possible to do an update of our youth players? Any chance guys like TAA becomming a starter? More games for Ben? Harry W to finally get the call up? Gomez a shot in the starting 11? We seem to have some exciting youth but I wondering who and how they fit into next year's picture. Your expertise is appreciated.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - if I get a chance I will do that over the summer mate.}

16 May 2017 13:06:15
Many thanks Eds.


{Ed001's Note - you are very welcome.}

{Ed002's Note - (a) Maybe. (b) I doubt it. (c) Loan. (d) Possible sale if LFC want a new centre back.}

16 May 2017 03:55:08
Loans to Bournemouth and Brighton.


16 May 2017 16:58:26
Selling Gomez seems odd. I'd say Klavan is the one closest to the door, even though he's been ahead of Gomez in the pecking order this season. Klavan is better suited for a team defending low, and Gomez has some potential to go along with decent pace. JG is surely on less wages than RK too.

Kloppo might even bring on a fifth CD if he is serious about trying 3-4-3. Hope he is not to be honest.
