Liverpool Banter Archive April 19 2014

Not MOTD fever but Liverpool should be breaking the bank to sign Eriksen for next season, his delivery is first class and looks like a long term successor to Gerrard.

Surely if we win the league people will be lining up to sign for us??

{Ed002's Note - Do you understand about money at all?}

He signed last year, so probably got 3 years at least on his contract, and why would spurs sell their best player to us, that's like us selling Suarez to arsenal last year,

Chelsea can't buy everyone Ed02 ;)

The position Eriksen plays is definitely an area Liverpool will be looking at . so it's a valid opinion.

{Ed001's Note - it is idiotic to suggest he will be joining us. He has a long contract and Spurs do not sell cheap. Do people not bother reading the accounts?? We lost £50m, we can't just suddenly go on a spending spree because we are in the Champions League! It is far from a valid opinion to talk about breaking the bank on anyone. We have already tried that approach and it nearly destroyed the club. Why do people have such short memories?}

Good post Ed001.

Nice to have you back.

FBI let you off with a slapped wrist?

{Ed001's Note - it is amazing what kind of internet access you can get in caves these days. You can even run a dialysis machine for years apparently, and move seriously ill patients around in them without getting caught for years, until they need something to show on TV to lift a flagging president......}

Thank god for that Ed001, i'm not the only one who remembers! We need financial stability before we can go out and buy these ridiculously priced players, or we'll be back to square one again. We got this far without breaking the bank, why change it? And eriksen as a successor for gerrard? The day he plays in a central role rather than number 10 or on the left i'll believe you.

After that comment ed001 I can imagine the NSA will be sticking a big Flowers By Irene van in front of your house. Haha

Hi all Super Reds

I have been using this site for a long time now and sent many posts, and over the past few years I have been a little p**^ed off with the a lot of the posts, lots directed at the heart of the club e.g Dalglish, Gerrard, Carragher, Lucas etc. Everybody has the right to put their point across, however I am an old git and reminisce about my childhood when we were top of the world and the team suppoted like no other.

However I am so glad all the younger fans are beginning to see and feel the way I used to in the late seventies and eighties. When Liverpool were great where there was an aura surrounding the club, the club were revered around the world, they were unstoppable when the fans were behind them, as Shanks said they were the 12th man, teams were terrified of playing Liverpool. they way they played was fantastic to watch, and the support was unconditional.

Thats why I got so disillusioned over the years, to me being a Liverpool supporter, is being a Liverpool supporter for life, its something you cannot take away, its a part of you.

The aura around the club at the moment is so so similar to that of the eighties, the passion and the strength of our supporters is so powerful it terrifies our oppnents, Man City, Chelsea are now seeing the Liverpool of Old, they are seeing the true size of the club and the support they have. Its a long time since I was in the kop, singing were going to win the league.

In the name of a song Well done Brendan for bringing that old loving feeling back.

From an Old Git of a Liverpool Supporter

{Ed002's Note - This is from Evered who failed to sign in.}

Great comments, I am a red through and through, the boys pen, Anny Road End, Kop in full flow, watching my heroes as a kid to watching my heroes a an old fart! (as my kids would say). Never lost my passion despite clowns and cowboys. Enjoying the moment with my lad and dad. We are Liverpool, Poetry in Motion. Back to the Future.

Evered I challenge your claim to the old git title

19 Apr 2014 21:05:10
The result doesn't mean much unless we win tomorrow. So let's go out & take the game to them. Maureen-yo showed pure class in his post match comments. A good manager but be a man & stop blaming everyone else for the defeat.
Onwards & upwards.
YNWA.

A draw wouldn't be a total disaster!

Against Norwich, eh yes it would

19 Apr 2014 20:41:17
Borini has shown me enough he's a good back up player for our forward line no need for a expensive recruit. a master stroke by BR again

19 Apr 2014 20:25:40
If at the end of the season Liverpool and Manchester City are equal on points, goals scored & goal difference, there will be a play-off to determine the title.

Doesn't it also come down to the results of the two games played against each other? Therefore we have a higher goals scored than them over the two games, even though we have one win each.

{Ed002's Note - No.}

19 Apr 2014 21:08:45
Given that we've conceded 8 more goals than City and they only have 5 games left, we'll either lose on good or beat them on Goals Scored.

Yeah we're not gunna concede 8 less than them over the course of 4/5 games and still be level on points!

19 Apr 2014 20:08:14
Norwich (A)
Chelsea (H)
Crystal Palace (A)
Newcastle (H)

Keep us dreaming.

Still not there but things are looking good. Regardless of where we finish we will still be red, if we win the league then I'll be ecstatic but we should finish top 3 at the very least. People who doubt Borini should see that he kept his cool at Chelsea and also scored in a cup final.

19 apr 2014 19:42:06
this sunderland result means nothing at all yet, we still need to win tomorrow, don't take anything for granted

come on reds

Spot on walt

We go again Red men, we go again. Make us dream.

Sunderland did nothing but save their own skin. They did us NO favours at all. WE GO AGAIN, TOGETHER!

Absolutely.
we need to fight at norwich as if we were about to get relegated ourselves

come on you reds

Yes it does, it means Chelsea don't gain the three points and we stay two ahead with a game in hand.

Totally agree only look to the next game.

Think the next tattoo might be "We Go Again" - love it

Redohio
Of course the Sunderland win does you a favour, be humble, be the peoples choice, be popular champions, be great champions.
Dont do a mourinho

Thank you daveybootle. Sunderland win is excellent for us. Of course we just need to worry about what we are doing, and if we go and win every game, the title is ours no matter what other results happen. The players are the ones who needs to take one game at a time not us. The words written on these pages mean absolutely nothing to the players. We will score at least 4 tomorrow.

Let's be honest, if we don't win this title we will be devastated and the top 4 finish we all dreamed of at the start of the season will be less enjoyable. Sorry for the negative spin to the post of course I am just as nervous as you lot but people just need to remember this page is not read by the players or Brendan Rodgers. Just enjoy this amazing run and not worry about "one game at a time".

Gunners62, I am humble which is why I`m not making a mel of the result because it means NOTHING if we don`t take advantage of it. Remember that if City and Chelsea could drop points against bottom sides, so can we. All in all, we stay calm and WE GO AGAIN!

DaveyBootle's got it right.
redohio, with respect, I simply can't understand what you are saying.
It's gobble-de-gook!

Sivy, the post is pretty simple. They did nothing but help themselves initially by winning the game. They didn`t win it w/ lfc in mind (except maybe Borini) and as long as they stay up, their fans won`t care if we win the league or not. Clear enough for ya, buddy?

19 Apr 2014 19:39:44
Hi Eds,
too early to be happy, still have to do our job but the results go our way in recent days, don`t they? 3 wins out of last 4 games seems to be enough. Let`s get the first one on Sunday.

19 Apr 2014 19:36:39
Thank you Black Cats!

Oh. and that little matter of the beach ball. never mind. all is forgiven! :)

19 Apr 2014 19:31:37
We need someone to bring a "This does not slip" banner to Carrow Road tomorrow, I think.

No need for additional pressure. The boys are ready for a real battle because Norwich will not lay down and take 5 like they always seem to do. It will be a war

Redohio
you can still win a war 5-0

I see what u did there. Nice touch.

19 Apr 2014 19:31:06
Sunderland are now my second fave team!

Except Poyet said we'd be a mid table team without Suarez.
I won't lose any sleep if they go down.

19 Apr 2014 19:29:29
Sunderland please stay in the Premiere League. Gus Poyet you are a football genius, what your team have done for us today is simply unbelievable. Borini you are a darling. Youpiiiiiii

JUST FAB by Borini!

19 Apr 2014 19:09:09
borini get in

Undercover Borini does it again.
BarryinLouth

Get in there Borini, you beauty! :-)

Shocked by that result i'd have bet my house on a chelsea win thankfully the wife wouldn't let me but it just shows the teams at the bottom can get a result no complacency norwich tomorrow hopefully we can get the 3 points

Borrinnii! Get in there! Everything crossed for a win tomorrow now even more than before! LFC (clap clap clap) LFC (clap clap clap)!!

Anyone else think we should try and get that borini fella from Sunderland just sunk the chavs into chaos dagger in the heart for Chelsea 4 games have turned to 2 cup finals come on reds leave your body's on the pitch Tommorow recoup and give Chelsea a hammering next week

We can dream we can dance we got 19 in the bag;)

Happy Easter all, see you soon!

Much love,

Fabio

Get in Fabio! Now bring on the canaries. Another hat-rick please Luis.

19 Apr 2014 15:47:30
Reckon we should get hold of Bony.

You're mental

19 Apr 2014 14:51:57
Hi Ed02, Do you think Man City will be found guilty by UEFA of breaching FFP rules?

{Ed002's Note - You need the Manchester City page for this.}

19 Apr 2014 12:10:12
Yes I've noticed that myself aspas shows emotion when we score when other players in his position may possibly not I just don't think he's the answer but I'm always happy to be proven wrong.
Tbh I can't second guess Rodgers. So you never know I think teixaira may make an appearance at some point too.

Doesn't seem ready for the prem and is in the shadow of SAS. Easy to say a bad buy but who knows what impact he could have made if Suarez for example got injured.

19 Apr 2014 11:02:03
How ya lads just realised if Gerrard got a yellow card against Man City he would have been put for Norwich and Chelsea omagine him Hendo and maybe Studg out for those matches so credit to Stevie for been a pure pro!!!

Some players used to go a whole footballing career without picking up a single yellow.

Yes Mikey, but those were the days where you had to break some bones to get a yellow.
These days you get a yellow for kicking the ball away or taking your shirt off after a goal.

19 Apr 2014 03:41:10
Hi Eds, the in's at the moment are harder to predict but what about the potential leavers, what is the plan for Victor Moses? My opinion is that he will be sent back to Chelsea. Will Aspas return back to Celta? Will Borini be shipped off to Italy? Finally has Alberto done enough, I doubt it to be honest. I see another busy summer for LFC this year.

{Ed002's Note - Try the search engine.}

We will ship him back and Chelsea will ship him out

18 Apr 2014 23:58:33
Hi eds thanks for all the hard work, just a question about Harry Wilson, the kid looks like an exciting talent and I know he's way off the first team even though he's played for Wales but do the club see him as a potential first team player or are they not so sure yet?

Many thanks

Henlow red

{Ed002's Note - I really have no idea. Ask again when Ed001 is around - but leave it a few days.}

I just watched a 30 on 30 special on espn documenting Hillsborough. It is absolutely infuriating and heartbreaking at the same time. Prayers and love to everyone.

19 Apr 2014 00:31:21
Just want to say rest in peace to Dylan tombides. Apologies if anyone has said it earlier but 20 is too young to for anyone to be taken. A promising life stolen away from the poor lad. Forever blowing bubbles kid. YNWA.
