Sorry- sent that last post 20 years ago and it didn't go through. My bad. Just sent it again.
21 May 2024 19:45:05
It dawned on me that a fair amount of posters on this site might have never experienced the sheer joy of the sharkopod. I don't suppose there is a future one on the cards by any chance ed2?
{Ed002's Note - Maybe I could do one.}
1.) 21 May 2024 22:58:16
Go on Ed002, for old times sake ;-)
2.) 22 May 2024 06:28:15
Yeeeeesssssss 002 that would be fantastic and a blast from the past, we might even get Macca back with a snippet of information from inside sources!
Excited.
3.) 22 May 2024 17:45:11
Sharkopods were excellent, and were appreciated by me that’s for sure.
{Ed002's Note - a slim chance if I gave time but I gave a bunch of travel coming up.}
4.) 22 May 2024 19:48:16
Any sharkopod would be greatly appreciated ed2. Safe travels mate and selfishly hope you find the time.
{Ed002's Note - Thank you. I will see what I can do. And you get some really cool music.}
5.) 22 May 2024 21:28:54
The music is the best part ed2. I think that’s what make them so fun. Well- also the in-depth analysis of potential incomings, but really- who’s bothered with that? And now i've the ten times daily check of rumours to see if one shows up to look forward to.
18 May 2018 11:33:41
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 ðŸ‘ðŸ».

So in a perfect world- who would you guys prefer? Isak or alvarez?
1.) 15 Jun 2025 22:16:32
Isak for me but I would not be disappointed with Alvarez either.
2.) 15 Jun 2025 22:32:25
footballing-wise - alvarez fits how we play like a glove.
3.) 15 Jun 2025 22:41:39
I just can’t decide. Ed1? Tell me who I should want more? It would make my worries so much easier.
{Ed001's Note - it's an either or really. They are both excellent and either would be great but for very different reasons. Flip a coin.}
4.) 15 Jun 2025 23:12:16
Isak for me. I hope I'm wrong, but I think there's a chance if we can't get what we really want this summer, regards to a striker, we may wait till next summer.
5.) 15 Jun 2025 23:28:34
I like Isak slightly better for that X factor but if I had the choice, I'd probably go for Alvarez because I'd trust him staying fit more than Isak.
6.) 15 Jun 2025 23:46:54
Think with the way were letting Salah kinda just stay up the pitch and concentrate on attack Alvarez might be the better choice. Not that i don't think isak is super but if a team aren't putting in the graft it doesn't matter how good they are they won't win anything, just look at PSG this year.
7.) 16 Jun 2025 00:02:28
Alvarez for me. Isak is a great player but I think Alvarez has a bit more graft about him.
8.) 16 Jun 2025 00:33:27
Florian - yup that's a good shout. In that respect it might make it worthwhile keeping Nunez around lol.
9.) 16 Jun 2025 00:36:07
No, no, no, ed1. Come on mate. Take a min. If you had to choose- I think many of us are flip a coin- but I would really love to hear your expertise. For me- I’d love both and I love the possibility that we are looking at them- but I fear isak injuries. I just feel gut feeling- alvarez could do the job. And who knows how great he could become at a club that would adore and love him.
{Ed001's Note - if I had to pick one based purely on their attributes and style of play, it would be Alvarez.}
10.) 16 Jun 2025 01:15:30
I'd go with Isak but only because I've seen him play plenty - I've not really seen much of Alvarez to comment.
11.) 16 Jun 2025 02:25:13
Is Flipa Coin a realistic target?
12.) 16 Jun 2025 00:49:04
Me too ed1. Because you told me to.
{Ed001's Note - now that is done, did you deposit the million dollars in my bank account like I told you to?}
13.) 16 Jun 2025 03:03:35
Alvarez. He is a better all around fit for the way we play.
14.) 16 Jun 2025 03:12:54
It would be Alvarez. As Florian said, having a striker that can also press will help hugely. A lineup of Alisson - Frimpong / Bradley, Konaté, Van Dijk, Kerkez - Grav, McAllister, Wirtz - Salah, Alvarez, Gakpo / Diaz has a better balance than having Isak. That is, obviously, if that is the way Slot wants to play next season.
15.) 16 Jun 2025 07:32:37
I remember Ed2 spotting Alvarez and Kulesevski as big talents before either came to the Prem.
16.) 16 Jun 2025 04:21:54
Was reading that Alvarez would be open to moving back to the UK but not after one year.
If we are in any kind of convo with him and felt like we could get him in 2026, then I would hold fire until then.
17.) 16 Jun 2025 05:16:32
Should be Alvarez.
Isak and Salah is too much for the team to carry.
Not seen much of Alvarez but still would go with him.
18.) 16 Jun 2025 05:51:20
Isak is PL proven and a standout striker in today’s world where there are very limited WC strikers (can’t believe it was just 2 decades ago we had Rooney, Ruud, Henry, Owen, Drogba, Zalatan, Raul, Ronaldo, Adriano, Anelka, Crespo, Larsson, Vieri, Torres, David Villa, Klose, Shevchenko, Et’o and more! Now I can’t even name 10 top class CF), but injuries do concern.
Alvarez has the class and graft and maybe just to stick it to City after they poached our former backroom staff that we take one of their former and make him into a great star with us.
Either is fine with me!
19.) 16 Jun 2025 06:55:31
. and if we actually didn't buy a striker? didn't need one? Keep our powder dry and work with what we've got? Thoughts?
20.) 16 Jun 2025 07:13:58
Thunderbird 2.
Flipa Coin is a now retired dolphin who had a bad gambling problem!
21.) 16 Jun 2025 07:21:35
@Thunderbird2 - I think it's 50/ 50 mate.
22.) 16 Jun 2025 08:27:01
Alvarez all day long for our style. Better movement and works a lot harder. And less injuries.
But why would they want to swap him for Nunez and possible Robertson?
23.) 16 Jun 2025 07:57:26
Ed01 is your comment code for Alvarez is signed and on his way ? is that how Monday morning starts. Transfer window isn't open and it's bananas. Even I commented there is no way Alvarez would join us due to his hatred of rain, fish and chips and so on. Pondering on the chances now. What do the desperate scousewives have to say.
10 Jun 2025 17:42:17
Whatever happened to the ignacio rumours? Did we p. off his club or something. Or was that a dream I had.
1.) 10 Jun 2025 18:04:11
Think Lisbon have been pi££ed with us for years.
04 Jun 2025 16:09:25
Probably a silly question but have we ever looked at kuluvseski? I've only seen him a few times for spurs but like mitoma who I've only seen a few times, always seems to impress. Hard working and just an all round good player.
1.) 04 Jun 2025 16:58:04
Good player but constantly injured. I don't think he's better than what we already have.
23 May 2025 21:37:58
Probably doing the heads in of the editors tonight with my constant irritating posting. However- it feels like a special evening. Its ten years to the day since I lost my dad, but I also just finished a new book so emotions are all over the place. Not to mention the amount of whiskey flowing. On top of that- the excitement of wirtz is so much fun. This site is so frequently my bastion and tonight, this is absolutely the place to be. You guys- editors and posters are the fuken best.
{Ed001's Note - congrats on getting the book finished. I look forward to reading it mate.}
1.) 23 May 2025 21:45:09
Its alright ed1. Its not very good.
{Ed001's Note - I am sure it is mate.}
2.) 23 May 2025 22:16:11
Congrats aoe! looking forward to reading it as well. What's the title? Prayers for your father. Enjoy the whiskey!
3.) 23 May 2025 22:17:59
Pop the details on the page when it is published and good to go AOE I will happily grab myself a copy and have a read.
4.) 23 May 2025 22:21:49
You write fantasy right? I’d love to read whatever you’ve written so far, any chance you’d post some titles?
5.) 23 May 2025 22:26:09
What is it aoe? I read your first one.
Got it on Amazon for the kindle. I thought I’d followed you on there, but I’ve not had anything about a new one from them.
6.) 23 May 2025 23:28:17
I don’t want anyone on this site paying a cent for my books- this site means too much to me- stone the absolute legend refuses to accept any of my books for free cos he’s a supporting jerk hero- but anyone else who wants any of my books go to my website- roberjpower. com or something like that. And just send me an email saying you are from the pool site and I can get them to send you guys all or any of my books for free on ebook. It’ll be “spark city” you want- nobody wants any other series. I love how I just turned this into a wonderful marketing ploy to grab you guys in.
{Ed025's Note - love it aoe..
7.) 23 May 2025 23:42:45
I’ll search on my kindle mate. ?? It was the first Spark city book I read, really enjoyed it.
How many have you done now? I thought I was waiting for the 2nd one but sounds like you’ve done a few since then if it’s a series.
8.) 24 May 2025 01:02:00
Ah that is wonderful to hear mate. I finished the series off and the fans seemed to like it. Hope on to my website and get the rest for free. You absolutely don’t have to read any of them- but hey- it’ll add to your collection.
9.) 24 May 2025 01:11:42
I am so buying a copy next week (after payday)
10.) 24 May 2025 01:58:47
No you aren’t mate. Save your money. Buy a nice hat. Go to my website- get my email- ask for a freebie and we’ll send it on. FREE! I never want anyone on this site to pay a fuken penny for anything I’ve done. This site means far too much to me.
{Ed078's Note - good man, as usual.
11.) 24 May 2025 06:00:22
Should have called it “Wonderdogsparkcity”.
12.) 24 May 2025 09:18:16
Aoe- FairPlay to you you’re a good man. Others (generally - not on this site - I’m not digging at anyone) could learn a thing or two from you. I’ll buy a book from your site!
23 May 2025 18:55:28
I think its time ed1. You know its time too. One wirtz player profile swiftly please while we are all caught up in this piranha like frenzy for information. Good lad yourself ?.
{Ed001's Note - if I am watching him with a view to what he brings to us, I will need extra tissues!}
1.) 23 May 2025 19:18:18
Because he is such a beautiful player he makes you cry. I get what you mean. Yep. I’m the same when I look at zidane videos on you tube. So beautiful.
2.) 23 May 2025 19:20:26
Just. this.
Makes my willy tingle.
3.) 23 May 2025 19:09:28
Will he make you cry Ed ??.
{Ed001's Note - oh yes tears of joy, that's what I meant.}
4.) 23 May 2025 19:29:27
Just watching scoutnation season review on him from last year as I didn't know much about, he looks so good, he megs and beats players so many times. He obviously has a really good understanding with frimpong as well. I am very excited now. tissues anyone?
5.) 23 May 2025 19:29:35
I am getting a sponsorship deal of andrex as I am going through endless amounts.
6.) 23 May 2025 19:31:54
My willy tingled then exploded ?.
7.) 23 May 2025 19:39:46
Is wirtz really that good? Genuine question as I have never seen him play…. is the viewpoint he would play as a false 9?
8.) 23 May 2025 20:05:46
God bless baby wipes after this news, my corks popped.
9.) 23 May 2025 20:24:30
He’s no zidane- but he’s close.
10.) 23 May 2025 20:33:08
Here we go man of Todd, anyone feel free to correct me. Wirtz is very technical and a good dribbler, but without showboating, very direct in his approach to make scoring chances happen. Incredible workhorse at the same time, doesn’t schrink away from his defensive responsibilities, has a great shot on him and great vision to create chances for the team. He has a good passing range and links up well with teammates, if I make him sound like an all round great player, that’s because he is. By far my favourite non Liverpool player, but let’s hope that changes soon. Forgot to mention that he makes everything look incredibly simple. In my humble opinion he already is one if not the best player in his position in the world. But as I said, I’m a big fan of his.
11.) 23 May 2025 21:13:27
Cheers baker, he sounds like a dream!
12.) 23 May 2025 21:37:17
Don’t dream of him man of Todd, you’ll end up with sticky blankets, trust me.
16 Jun 2025 11:05:45
Fantastic mate. Hilarious altogether. Keep them coming. I’m hopelessly addicted to the drama.
16 Jun 2025 00:39:06
Think alvarez will be heading he soon enough. Fairly certain if they are willing to spend big money- it’s not going to depend on a delayed preseason-but more the 5 year contract, but hey- I’m usually wrong about these type of things. So nevermind.
14 Jun 2025 21:09:29
Cheers for the constant updates akira. You are very much appreciated on the site.
13 Jun 2025 00:30:25
Cheers for that maccara mate.
12 Jun 2025 08:34:07
That was a hilarious live stream. The highlight was the guy who was desperate to get their attention and when they eventually opened up his stream…. well- that’s between us watching and ed1.
{Ed078's Note - classic. Like 001 says, this is a special signing. I compared it to the Suarez signing to my son. Suarez was less of a known quantity, but his immediate effect on the team was unmistakable. I remember seeing an interview with Gerard or Carra, when, after one training session, they said to each other "how have we got him?"
We're in a much better place now than when Suarez signed, but I wouldn't be surprised to see this lad show Suarez like levels of quality.
17 Jun 2025 13:04:28
Barry knows cos he’s the favourite son but I too believe its Emmanuel abgadou. Are we looking at him at all ed1? Look at me being all sneaky.
{Ed001's Note - fave son? Did you miss the word least out by mistake? My lips are sealed.}
16 Jun 2025 00:49:04
Me too ed1. Because you told me to.
{Ed001's Note - now that is done, did you deposit the million dollars in my bank account like I told you to?}
16 Jun 2025 00:36:07
No, no, no, ed1. Come on mate. Take a min. If you had to choose- I think many of us are flip a coin- but I would really love to hear your expertise. For me- I’d love both and I love the possibility that we are looking at them- but I fear isak injuries. I just feel gut feeling- alvarez could do the job.

{Ed001's Note - if I had to pick one based purely on their attributes and style of play, it would be Alvarez.}
15 Jun 2025 22:41:39
I just can’t decide. Ed1? Tell me who I should want more? It would make my worries so much easier.
{Ed001's Note - it's an either or really. They are both excellent and either would be great but for very different reasons. Flip a coin.}
15 Jun 2025 09:55:10
Second the praise for the three amigos. They have been fantastic these recent few weeks. (Especially in light of the tragedy of ed2’s passing and the effect it had on this site) I’m not singling out shughes for having a mild go at akira (who in fairness, burned you badly with the reply mate) but it has forewarned me that going forward they are likely going to face the wrath of some right nasty messaging. let's just enjoy the posts they are gifting us while we can because all things end. Just hopefully not for a while.
