Heya ed2, hope you are well today, I'm sure you'd love to make some of these requests diasappear (just like all blemishishes with a few careful applications of Thera-blem) but I was wondering if you had any thoughts on creating any sharkopods in the near future? I appreciate you are a very busy man and the work that goes into it is immense (and worth it because they are hilarious) . I know you said a while ago it was a no go, if that's still the case, a total shame but I completely understand why.
{Ed002's Note - There is no plan to provide any more Sharkopods.}
1.) 18 May 2018 11:45:20
Ah fair enough ed, thanks for the reply. Hope you have a good weekend.
{Ed002's Note - Thanks, and you.}
2.) 18 May 2018 11:45:31
Ed2 that’s a shame is it bec of abusive members things have changed? Remember not long ago you said we would be first on the list for sharkpod.
{Ed002's Note - The reasons are unimportant Adam.}
3.) 18 May 2018 12:05:53
Ed2 are you looking forward to the champions league final?
{Ed002's Note - I am not going to go and have had no other thoughts on it really.}
4.) 18 May 2018 15:35:22
In your line of work ed would you have been able to get tickets?
{Ed002's Note - Yes, we some tickets.}
5.) 18 May 2018 16:33:21
But Ed002 where will I get my fix of retro obscure music clips now?!
{Ed002's Note - I will continue to answer questions about non transfer related matters - including music Triangle.}
6.) 19 May 2018 09:34:36
Could you provide us with a recommended music playlist Ed then? I enjoyed the obscure music on the Sharkopod and sorry that yo7 no longer want to get involved with transfer info as your knowledge was one of the reasons that makes this site so good. Anyway take it easy and hope you’re well.
{Ed002's Note - I will give you a few appropriate song for the day as you ask. As there is a Royal wedding today, that will see the bond between the English and German nations strengthen, you will no doubt by on tenderhooks until you get to see Ms Merkel's wonderful dress. Apparently, although marrying a prince, she will not be called Princess Angela. So "tenderhooks" makes me think of The Barbarians' "Moulty", the story of their one handed drummer, and that would be a good starting point. Thinking of young Prince Hal's bride to be, perhaps The Lollipop Shoppe (who were managed by an old buddy of mine) playing "You Must Be a Witch" could keep the tempo up as you swoon at the beauty of Ms Merkel on her wedding day. If you follow the English tradition of consuming ale all the way through the wedding, and then through the FA cup final, by the end of the day you will no doubt be hearing "Voices Green and Purple", as recorded by The Bees.}

Great band The Bees. Salute Mr Ed 02 👍🏻.

Hey everyone, I've made one of my books free on ebook for the next few days. It's a fantasy, lighthearted and they've told me it's a bit of fun. Probably something a lot of us could use right now. Search amazon for the crimson hunters by Robert j power. Download and read at your own lazy leisure. Ynwa.
1.) 15 Mar 2020 15:48:03
Is it on iBooks? Very kind whatever. Think there might be quite a few cabin fever cases shortly.
2.) 15 Mar 2020 16:41:54
That’s very nice to say mate. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s on iBooks, only amazon. If I could release more I would but I’m tied into one too many contracts. I wanted to put it up for a month but alas 5 days is all I can do. Hopefully in a few weeks, it’s all that was needed.
3.) 15 Mar 2020 16:54:29
Nice one aoe. I love fantasy, am halfway through the broken empire trilogy but will put the crimson hunters next in the list. Thanks mam!
4.) 15 Mar 2020 17:03:24
Your welcome my darling daughter.
5.) 15 Mar 2020 19:25:16
Lol aoe. 5 stars, impressive. That's the book not the joke (which I would give 3 stars, 3 1/ 2)
6.) 15 Mar 2020 22:41:22
So aoe is Robert J power . wow, picked up your books recently, Spark city is a great read. So in a couple of days are we to find out Salah the poster is actually Stephen King.
7.) 16 Mar 2020 00:00:38
Ha, me and salah are legion! Delighted you liked spark mate, don’t you dare ask when the sequel is out! That’s a paddling. These masterpieces take time 😉.
8.) 16 Mar 2020 08:53:55
Rob aka aoe aka Salah. I see that your rock band is called Army of the Eds. Please tell me Ed1 and Ed 2 are your backing singers.
{Ed001's Note - you've clearly never heard me sing or you would know I would never be anyone's back up singer. Sadly not because I am too good to be a back up though!}
9.) 16 Mar 2020 09:44:17
The Ed’s are and always will be my muses.
25 Dec 2019 10:24:29
Merry Christmas to all the Eds and posters, nope you all have a great day today.
{Ed001's Note - I think my Crimbo is going to be a bit of a low point, somebody bought me a couple of books by some fella called Power or something. ;-)
Merry Christmas aoe hope you have a great one!}
1.) 25 Dec 2019 11:05:11
There’s a really good refund policy on them, send a screen shot of page 43 to amazon where the author unexpectedly scribes “all work and no play makes rob a dull boy” repeatedly for about 20 lines. Incidentally the book goes downhill from there. Have a brilliant day ed, I’ve been wiped with man flu for two weeks but hopefully I’m through the worst. I can see my iPad screen now which is a bonus but the purple elephants haven’t left my bedroom yet which is a worry.
{Ed001's Note - I have a great remedy for man flu I found on the internet. It does involve a complicated operation where you will lose a bodily part or two, but at the end you will never have to worry about man flu ever again! Ed666 highly recommends it.}
2.) 25 Dec 2019 14:09:17
Now ed if someone bought you a couple bottles of whiskey by a fellow called power that would be a lot better. Happy Christmas to you and all the eds and thanks for putting up with us a lot over the year.
{Ed001's Note - it really wouldn't mate, I don't drink! Merry Crimbo to you mate and I hope you are having a great day.}
18 Mar 2019 10:49:09
Heya folks, haven't been around at all the last while, just manic busy with a new book nearing a release and all that self promoting/ congratulating crap, missing the banter guys, going to try and put aside time to get involved without sacrificing an Ed's amount of time in the process. If the Ed's wouldn't mind, in the near future I'd like to offer a link for any of you guys/ gals that are interested in a free ebook from a new fantasy series I'm absolutely sh**ting myself about releasing (cos it's pretty terrible 🤣) before it hits book shops, but anyway, enough of that, to sum up my feelings of the season so far- it's giving me far more palpitations than usual, it is absolutely brilliant. I'm not as confident as I was around December but to be in the race at this stage, is just incredible and can't wait to meet Juventus in the final #believe.
{Ed001's Note - I am glad you are here, I wanted to get a copy of your first book but forgot to note it down and forgot what your real name is to ask for it by author. Remind me please!}
1.) 18 Mar 2019 11:18:42
Had an incredibly witty reply ed but apparently I’m not able to post the word “no” through the iPad. Ah well 😉. For reference the name is Robert j power “spark city”. And there’s also the humor book “the little book of lies” by rj power. As soon as I’ve got the links for the new stuff, I’ll happily send them on. Where possible, I really don’t want anyone on this site to have to pay a penny, we’re still working on some free downloads so bear with me. Hope everything is well with yourself ed1.
{Ed001's Note - that's why you should avoid becoming an Apple cultist - they are evil!!!
Everything is good mate, I hope the books are selling well for you. Hopefully you can be a big success with these and the new ones. I am very impressed with you going for it like this and doing it all for yourself. Brave!}
2.) 18 Mar 2019 11:40:17
The Little Book of Lies is a brilliant read. I highly recommend it.
{Ed001's Note - I will ask in the local bookstores for it until I find a copy after that recommendation.}
3.) 18 Mar 2019 12:05:25
Good to see you're back aoe and all the best with the new release!
4.) 18 Mar 2019 12:26:24
In apple we trust ed. Join the cool kids. Thank you so much for the kind words though. It’s very much appreciated. I think ignorant stubbornness might be a more accurate description of my endeavors. Sooo, anyway what’s with Shaqiri? 😉🤣.
{Ed001's Note - I hate Apple stuff - overpriced junk. It is the definition of style over substance, even if you work in video or music creation now. It used to be better for that, but not any more. And Jobs etc built their fortune on the back of child slave labour but somehow get regarded as great people!
Ignorant stubbornness makes you perfectly suited for a career in social media mate!
Apparently he rejected a Klopp hug once, so will be lucky to ever play again.}
5.) 18 Mar 2019 12:29:35
Just read the description of Spark City, Robert. Sounds up my street and i'll give it a read when I can. Unfortunately, I'm currently on book 4 of the Wheel of Time series so i've got another 10 to go first!
6.) 18 Mar 2019 12:36:29
Aw shucks stone, thanks a million mate. I’m possibly going to do a follow up after the unexpected success it had. Who knew in this day an age, a book about deliberate fake news would do so well in America. If you can’t order any book in ed, let me know the name of the bookstore or whatever region it is. I signed a deal with a massive distributing company that apparently cover 90% of the market but I’m still not sure if it’s all live yet. I’m also such a small fry they’re unlikely to pay much attention to me. Amazon and google books 4 life!
{Ed001's Note - Kinokuniya is the biggest bookstore in the region and the one I usually go to. It is an excuse to go to Dubai Mall and watch the fish in the aquarium. I love watching fish and even the shop for the aquarium is a huge fish tank now. I have a discount card for there so I tend to go there.}
7.) 18 Mar 2019 13:00:27
Stone, just had a look at that little book of lies and it looks like a very funny book from the preview on Amazon.
Also from the preview the animations look great, it's now on the wishlist!
8.) 18 Mar 2019 13:17:24
Aoe, that'll be very cool, sign me up.
9.) 18 Mar 2019 13:41:49
There he is, the bloody legend ao me. So happy to see you posting again mate, I hope life is treating you well :) .
10.) 18 Mar 2019 14:39:46
best wishes on the book hope it sells well.
11.) 18 Mar 2019 15:09:58
Much appreciated folks, still got a long way to go but sure once Netflix come calling with the old blank check I’ll be satisfied, and it’s going to happen aaaany day now, because the world will clearly need something to ease the shakes after game of thrones ends and we have a wait before the wheel of time and name of the wind to come out on tv as well. Salah mate I’m doing well considering my day is essentially sitting in a dark room, staring pitifully at a screen with only lord of the rings playing on repeat in the background as company and only decaf coffee and my own frustrated tears as sustenance. Apart from that I’m genuinely great.
04 Jan 2019 10:43:20
He's one to take our minds off the match last night. But of fun really. Does anyone have any misguided beliefs about football players, managers, teams etc that are fairly ridiculous that no one has ever ever agreed with and despite you knowing the truth, your mind just can't be changed, come on, all of us do. eg- Ramos is a fantastic player with a bad rep. Come on folks, own up and open yourselves to criticisms. Would love to hear any Ed's takes as well. Ugh I'll go first and here's hoping, this isn't a useless one post post. No matter what anyone says, Zidane is the greatest player to ever play the game. EVER. I'm sorry, I grew up with maradonna and watched pele but nobody blew we away like what that lad did with the ball. It doesn't matter that he was a lunatic, it doesn't matter that he missed most of France 98- he still singlehandedly won the World Cup and everything for Real Madrid after. (I could be wrong)
1.) 04 Jan 2019 12:13:35
Zidane is NO Maradona. In fact, Zidane's idol is Enzo Francescoli (Uruguayan legend) who played at OM (Zidane's hometown team) and even he was not a patch on Maradona. Maradona won a WC with unknown players whikle Zidane won a WC with players like Marcel Desailly, Patrick Vieira, Youri Djorkaeff, Rob Pires Laurent Blanc etc.
You also talk about Zidane winning it all with RM. Maradona is the reason you even know where Napoli is on the Italian map. It's not even close BUT love the debate.
2.) 04 Jan 2019 12:26:31
Zidane wasn’t even the best player of his generation. That accolade goes to the real Ronaldo. Zidane vs Maradona? Are you kidding me? Maradona won a World Cup and two league titles with average teams around him. When did Zidane ever do that?
3.) 04 Jan 2019 12:41:48
You guys make excellent points, I’m not debating that everyone is right and I am completely wrong. I just worshipped that guy as a player and can’t see pst the emotion of France 98. You can hit all the accurate facts at me and I’ll be like “yep, still think he’s the greatest though”. My hope is for other posters here to throw their own misguided beliefs into the fray.
4.) 04 Jan 2019 13:00:38
Spot on, Swisch. You should hear what Zidane himself, has to say about Big Ron, himself. When Clarence Seedorf (who played with Ronaldo at Inter and AC Milan) is telling you that Big Ron is the best player he had ever seen in his illustrious career, then you know what's up.
5.) 04 Jan 2019 14:08:47
The best player ever is non other than our very own Robbie Fowler.
6.) 04 Jan 2019 15:17:22
No qualms there, aoe. Love your posts btw, bro.
7.) 04 Jan 2019 16:01:37
Cheers redwolf, ha! You got it Walter, nice one mate. Totally disagree with you though!
04 Jan 2019 08:48:05
We're going to win the league, city look a shadow of the team they were and were it not for our own ineptitute to play our game we would be in a better position come this morning. As it is, despite the frustration, I'm more interested in seeing our reaction to the loss. Better now than in the run in. We've had an amazing December and I look forward to an incredible season moving forward. I didn't come on here last night and I'm wary to read all the obligatory negative posts because it's actually alright to lose a match in a season. I hate to lose any game but this wasn't a win or nothing for us, it was for them and they just about did it, city were excellent at what they did but were there for the taking up to the last ten mins in my opinion. We learn and we get better. Ynwa #believe.
1.) 04 Jan 2019 09:01:39
Aoe I agree it’s ok to lose but it’s also ok to give credit where credit is due and for you to say City are a shadow of the team and the only reason we lost was because of our own ineptitude screams bitterness. Last night was a fantastic spectacle (although not always the greatest quality) but both teams played their part in that. City might have won the battle but we can still win the war.
2.) 04 Jan 2019 09:03:22
Agreed with me mate, I mean you, us, whatever we are! ;) .
The way I look at it is, we're the ones still laughing even after a loss. It could've gone either way last night, unfortunately it went against us. I was really gutted but it happens, overall I think of how well we've done so far and I'm delighted with that. God help Brighton because we're going to come back with a bang and give quite a few teams a good seeing to.
3.) 04 Jan 2019 09:27:15
Saloe, you really need to stop repeat commenting on your own threads its getting tiresome ;)
We have only dropped 7 points all season, we are 100% against teams outside the top four, keep that form up and we will need three points in total from the Utd, Spurs and chelsea games. and we would win the league by a point no matter what city do.
I am not saying for a second the above will happen but it is still in our hands.
4.) 04 Jan 2019 09:35:14
As an individual match-up we have more than matched City previpus years but not been anywhere near them on the table. Prem winner is best team after 38 games, not a 2-legged tie againat our closest rivals.
5.) 04 Jan 2019 10:01:11
I can see only one outcome. Come May Hendo holding aloft the prem trophy. We’re quality. Looking forward to seeing Gomez back asap.
6.) 04 Jan 2019 10:03:30
Nobody should be surprised with the way City played. for them, this was do or die. They played with the desperation that the game seemed to them. On the other hand, we approached the game with the right attitude and people can argue about the mistakes made and all that, the fact remains that City made mistakes as well and got lucky in the key moments that mattered in the game like Kompany not seeing red (seen red given for less challenges) on Salah, Sane's shot going in off the post and Mane's shot off the post and out, 11mm prevented us from taking the lead etc. ) . It was a very even game and City edged it cos they were at home.
All in all, we are still in the BEST position going forward. The PL season would not have been over had we won either so nothing changed really and make no mistake about it, City would rather be in our position BUT they are NOT so things are still looking up. The hope now is that we react positively to this bump in the road in our next game.
7.) 04 Jan 2019 10:46:19
Redwolf nobody should be surprised at how City played because they are a world class side with top top players and are currently defending league champions. Anyone swear they are in a relegation fight saying they played with desperation. We are also showing this season that we are a world class side with top top players. Sadly over 90 minutes City got the 3 points. The sign of the best sides is how they react to defeat and that will be the next challenge for our team.
8.) 04 Jan 2019 10:27:24
I’m not bitter at all, all apologies if that came across. I’m delighted with the team so far but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t add critique where it’s due. We just didn’t play well, moreover, had it been city of last year we could have been beaten comfortably but we weren’t. I didn’t say we were inept mate, I said we were inept in our ability to play our game. We can do far better and failed. I’m not blaming klopp, I’m not playing players, it just happens. My point was that I feel it was ourselves and not city who made us play as we did. Maybe I should have rephrased it because it was intended to be a positive post.
9.) 04 Jan 2019 10:58:56
Aoe no worries mate and my reply wasn’t a dig at you. I just believe City should be given credit for the win. I’m sure there’s lots of teams we have beaten this season believe we were lucky against them (Everton for 1) or maybe suggest we are a shadow of the team last season. What counts at the final whistle is who takes the 3 points and sadly we didn’t get them last night. I’m sure Klopp will have the lads good to go for Brighton in just over a weeks time.
10.) 04 Jan 2019 11:18:16
Hopefully mate, I’d start to worry about our mentality if we don’t put in a good performance in the next couple matches. I really think whatever team playes wolves gets the win.
11.) 04 Jan 2019 12:21:10
JK23, I agree with you. You are aware that you can be a world class team and still be desperate at the same time, right? The reason they were desperate was that they knew that a) we could beat them and b) it would be a disaster if they lost, according to them. Remember that Pep spent the whole time leading up to the game, convincing his team and himself that they were a class team. Why would he do that? Cos he and his team were very short of confidence and it showed. This is why they dropped of late in the game cos they were terrified of conceding and had they conceded at that moment, all hell would have broken loose on them.
As per whether we played well or not, Ed01 said that maybe cos we knew a point was a good result, we did not go all gong ho and I agree with that. The plan was to stifle them and then go from there which we did very well cos City had one shot on target in the first half (Aguero's freak goal) and David Silva was shut down. We were never out of the game and in fact had we been luckier in some areas, we could have won BUT that's football. We have to react and we will see what happens.
12.) 04 Jan 2019 13:03:55
In 2014, we beat city 3-2 in a game much closer to the end of the season, they lifted the title.
In 2009, we whipped Utd 4-1 towards the end of the season, they lifted the title.
Winning the match against your closest rival can be a boost and plus in so many ways. But the league title won by being the team that collect most points.
I can see us going on another winning streak. I can also see city dropping more points.
We are still the team in the strongest position to win this.
13.) 04 Jan 2019 13:05:16
As i said a week or so ago, people need to reign this arrogance in. Leagues aren't won this early. We have no option but to play him but lovren is a joke of a player and definitely not in the haha sense, two mistakes in a row now and finally it's cost us.
20 Mar 2020 16:01:28
Back in 2012 I made this really great Christmas sandwich at about 3 am for me, my wife and best mate. All the trimmings of meats and stuffings, however, drunkenness got the better of me. No idea how but many flavor of crisps were thrown in with a couple different crazy cheeses. I added gravy and I don’t know why. Greatest sandwich ever and I’ve tried and failed many times to recreate it. If I could, I’d go back and get the recipe. Or kick younger me and steal it for myself.
19 Jan 2019 11:29:30
I have a rule not to post when I’m drinking, probably why I’m never on much these days.
11 Jan 2019 07:37:02
You can’t win anything with kids.
10 Jan 2019 08:54:19
In fairness, I think Markovic was an exceptional talent misused by the club and bought a few years before he was ready. For me it all went wrong after that red card in the champions league. Don’t think Rogers wanted to play him after that. Great haircut though.
31 Dec 2018 08:52:15
Cheers for that ed, hopefully he can get his career back on track.
29 Sep 2020 10:20:34
Cheers for that Ed mate. Hope Karius get some back to his best back in Germany. Wish the lad nothing but the best and I still think there’s a really good keeper in there.
{Ed001's Note - there is but it has been lost under LK1. When he should have been training after horrendous errors he was busy shooting social media videos and it has cost him his Liverpool career and any chance of ever being top class.}
13 Sep 2020 09:13:00
Cheers mate, much appreciated. They’ll back maguire until the court case is fully done imo. Brings me back to Leeds defending bowyer and woodgate until after they “won” the court case and the next day fining them. Must be great to be untouchable.
11 Sep 2020 13:44:51
Perhaps he’s no suitors because we’ve priced him out of any moves. To say he’s not good is a little unfair a statement. You can argue that top clubs might not spend 30 or 40 million on him (just an example) but I would imagine many clubs would be Rey interested in the right deal. Probably not top 4 but he’s still a young player capable of doing good things on the pitch.
11 Sep 2020 10:16:36
Cheers for that Ed, just bonkers to see how inflated players have become when Zidane is 20 million cheaper than Harry Maguire. Much appreciated. Have a great day.
11 Sep 2020 09:37:43
I think Origi could fetch a decent price. I’m also a fan of his though. I think at a different club he might have had a very different career so far.
