Pep holding up 6 fingers to remind everyone how many matches he has lost in last couple weeks or to brag about how many fans they have?
1.) 01 Dec 2024 22:09:54
I think he was reminding us how many European Cups we've won.
2.) 01 Dec 2024 21:38:53
Or how many European Cups LFC have won! could also mean Six more European Cups than city at the end of this season hopefully! that's what his tip is?
3.) 01 Dec 2024 22:12:52
How many times we won the champions league?
4.) 01 Dec 2024 22:47:45
Tbf I think the sacked in the morning chants were unnecessary. Pep has always shown us respect even when we were having our awful injury hit seasons under Klopp, which they are finally now having. Would have been a nice touch to acknowledge and show a bit of class but oh well let’s go and win the league!
Top performance today from the lads and love how ruthless Slot is. Trent was getting put on toast by Doku so got him off and tightened up to see out the game. Concerning how many chances we missed though as that should have been 4/ 5 - got to put these big games to bed earlier.
5.) 01 Dec 2024 23:00:08
How many matches left before he gets the sack?
6.) 02 Dec 2024 03:30:00
6th division - national league north - the league they're playing in next season when their punishment is finally handed down.
7.) 02 Dec 2024 03:35:04
The whole, 'getting sacked in the morning' was soooooo tongue in cheek. Just a bit of friendly banter! I thought it was funny funny as f*ck. I can't understand why Pep and everyone else can't see it. Regardless of the charges, Man City have been amazing rivals and most LFC fans respect what Pep has done. It was comedy gold, the irony was dripping for everyone to see.
8.) 02 Dec 2024 06:39:36
In fairness I thought Pep took it well and he was quite good regarding it in his post match presser.
9.) 02 Dec 2024 07:17:23
It is an ironic chant sang at just about the only possible time in Pep's career that it has any relevance. He will likely never hear that chant again, and should probably take it as a back-handed compliment, if anything.
Thing is, under different circumstances, Pep would give anything to manage us.
10.) 02 Dec 2024 07:27:21
i think it was respectful banter from both sides. outside of heat of the moment moments, pep has been respectful of lfc and klopp imo.
him smiling while putting up 6 was fair play for me.
11.) 02 Dec 2024 07:35:43
@Lowe, the chant started at Brighton. The way he’s going he’ll be hearing it every week.
15 Nov 2024 23:41:15
I'm gutted to hear the news about ed2. He is a big reason I've continued to visit this site. Obviously I appreciated his knowledge. But have to say I loved his sense of humour and his honesty. A rare combination nowadays. I'm sure his family is going to miss him.
1.) 16 Nov 2024 00:22:42
I’m so sorry to hear this news. I echo the thanks for all the knowledge. RIP.
2.) 16 Nov 2024 00:33:30
Sad news so sorry to his family and close friends all's I've heard these last couple of weeks is about in laws and relatives passing, I've been visiting these pages for about 10 years given or take and honestly Ed02 and macca are consistant, now we have neither, rest in peace Ed02.
3.) 16 Nov 2024 00:42:22
Such shocking news, Ed002 was always on the mark with the facts, never suffered fools, and they had some amount of patience too, RIP, hope you are enjoying the rodeo in the sky x.
4.) 16 Nov 2024 00:44:59
I'm not ashamed in the slightest to admit I welled up when I read that 1st paragraph. Never met or conversed in any meaningful way with the man, but I respected the heck out of him for his football and world knowledge, and got a real kick out of his sense of humour, even after being on the end of it a few times.
Even without his efforts in editing the site for nothing, he was by far and away my (and probably most people's) favourite contributor, and it won't be the same without him.
God bless you Ed002, there will never be another like you.
5.) 16 Nov 2024 01:14:34
RIP Ed2.got no other words. Gutted.
6.) 16 Nov 2024 01:22:41
I'm shocked to hear this. I always enjoyed reading what Ed002 had to say.
Condolences to his family, friends and the other Eds and may he rest in peace ❤️.

Must be down to Adrien's influence that we are playing Betis every day :-)

I miss playing Southampton every day. ?.

i have an uneasy feeling this is going to become as infamous as that Southampton article.

Thank you Phil.

one of my not so guilty pleasures in life is watching old videos of Zidane in full flight with French commentators. When Im not marvelling at the skill, Im in hysterics at the "ooh la la" and "bop bop bop" in the background. The french are way better at commenting than the average british pundit.
1.) 04 Apr 2024 11:18:43
Zidane is hands down my favourite player ever. Just loved his skill. I hold him up there with the best of the best.
2.) 04 Apr 2024 11:44:29
Unfortunately he may get remembered more for the headbutt than his actual ability even though he was a fantastic player.
3.) 04 Apr 2024 12:12:36
That headbutt was beautiful also Piffmunda.
4.) 04 Apr 2024 12:31:03
I always really enjoyed watching Ronaldinho, Totti and Del Piero on the old school ITV European nights growing up. Something magical about old school football. I do genuinely think the modern teams would tactically and athletically roll them over with ease, but the beautiful side of the game peaked in 1990-2010 I reckon.
5.) 04 Apr 2024 13:03:32
Zidane was a beautiful player to watch but I always thought he didn’t play his best nor was most effective at Real. A bit of a, with that much ability, surely he could have been more effectual overall? (Not withstanding he had outstanding moments like his volley to win the CL against BL, but wasn’t quite consistent in the big games I felt)
There was also the issue with his boots having Velcro like material that was later banned? Not sure if he could control just as well if he didn’t had those. I’m sure he was already excellent but having those probably helped that little bit more?
6.) 04 Apr 2024 13:52:39
Zidane was a truly great player indeed BUT I totally watched the great Portuguese playmaker Rui Cossta play. El Maetro was classical music in motion. A true legend of the beautiful game.
7.) 04 Apr 2024 16:39:04
Ronaldinho and then Jay-Jay Okocha for me. Both played with a smile on their face and represented proper entertainment. Something worth spending your money to watch rather than the more robotic players we tend to produce nowadays.
8.) 04 Apr 2024 16:43:17
@sgynwa, Zidane was a vile thug on the pitch as well and that plagued him through out his career. Headbutts was his preferred vile act/ mode of operation. Had been doing that since his Bordeux days where in one game I watched in the 93/ 94 season, he blatantly head-butted a young Marcel Desailly of Marseille and was sent off on the spot.
Stumped on Saudi Arabia's Fuad Amin's back in the '98 WC and got a 2 game ban. Headbutted a Hamburg player in the CL in 00/ 01 season which eventually cost him the Balon D'Or to Luis Figo.
Ironic that his final game ended with a red card off you guessed it, a brutal headbutt on Materazzi in the WC final in '06. Great player BUT an absolute thug, as well.
06 Dec 2024 01:57:50
If you are going to compare Harland vs Nunez then check out the number of clear cut chances they each miss. For all Nunez weaknesses he doesn’t go missing in big matches - still works his socks off. I’m not blind to his faults but don’t fall into the trap of the pundits who think the sun revolves around Harland. Even that chance that Nunez missed when he slid in at the back post. Pundits will have you believe it was easy but even stretched he couldn’t reach it. Much harder than they would have you believe but it doesn’t fit in with their agenda.
05 Dec 2024 00:08:02
IMO If trent keeps playing the way he has been this year, then by seasons end there won't be many people disagreeing that he is the best RB in the league if not world. His passing is sublime and his defending has really stepped up this year (you could argue that's because the physical demands on him are lessened under Slots system or because of coaching) . The very fact that Madrid are interested tells you they think he is good.
23 Oct 2024 05:24:03
losing all at the same time would def be problematic - if only for the hit to the club culture. Much better if its spaced out to alleviate the impact. But eventually like all top players they will drive off into the sunset in their overly expensive cars ;-)
27 Sep 2024 05:54:13
he is never going to be in the conversation of world class players but Tsimikas works hard, seems to be well liked by his team mates and doesn't cause problems. so i wouldn't rush to sell him - particularly as there doesn't seem to be anyone queuing up to take his spot. We need to sort out VVD first IMO but i def can see the club looking for someone to come in and phase out Robbo or him next year.
23 Aug 2024 07:35:34
In terms of CB we have really only lost one so far (Matip) as SVB didn't play for us last year. You could argue with his fitness concerns that Matip gametime could easily be given to a youth player. If Gomez leaves then I reckon we def need a new CB (though we are leaving it pretty late) . Im guessing it would depend on how they view VVD contract renewal as to whether we get someone like Inacio in.
05 Dec 2024 00:13:59
if your forward is constantly offside then there are lots of factors you need to look at eg are the midfield delaying the pass too long or is the CF taking off too soon. Is the CF running the right channels or are the passes wrong. lots of things and its not as simple as Nunez is a donkey for being offside. Only the coaches will know the answers to some of the questions and hopefully they are looking at it .
01 Dec 2024 04:08:59
Kelleher whilst good is not at Ali’s level. For example his passing can be a bit uneven in terms of weight and his positioning is not as good (something that should improve as he plays more) . I’m glad we have him as a backup but imho Ali will be one day voted as our best ever gk (even better than clemence which is something I never thought I’d say)
28 Nov 2024 22:37:22
One of the things i really like about Nunez is he is clearly seeking to improve. his link up play and movement has improved tremendously. Watch how he draws the defender out of the way for Maccas goal. He is not perfect but any player who keeps working hard to get better is worth persevering with if possible.
26 Nov 2024 22:28:56
How the contract renewals go will obviously effect transfer decisions but Id say the club should be looking at LB/ LCB options. Chambers injury will def put him back.
19 Nov 2024 19:37:17
Personally I can't believe Mancity page is not the most visited. Ed1 you need to point this out to them and im sure they will find a sponsor to "rectify" that immediately ;-)
{Ed001's Note - I might just mention it to the owners next time I am in Abu Dhabi mate, that is a great point.}
