See that the Sergej Milinković-Savić rumours are starting up again.
1.) 29 May 2023 22:28:58
He's really great. I really think we should sign him or Rabiot. Both really physical and dominant in the air. Both bang in their prime years too at 28 and capable of scoring around 10 goals a season when given license to go forward.
Our midfield lacked power last season. Got rolled over far too easily and bullied at times. Hendo used to ensure we never got bullied, but his legs are gone. So we need that 6ft plus midfield aggressor to smash the opposition when needed whilst contributing going forward like Hendo used to.
2.) 30 May 2023 07:31:55
I think we should sign Mme Rabiot, she sounds like she enjoys a bit of a battle too.
3.) 30 May 2023 07:37:45
I don’t think either Rabiot or Savic fit the bill of an LFC signing to be honest. We tend to go for players no older than 25 as they approach their prime years, not already in them. That said I wouldn’t be against having those two provide some much needed immediate quality, grit and power to our midfield whilst the likes of Jones, Elliot Bjacetic and maybe Morgan continue to develop.
4.) 30 May 2023 08:39:21
Westwood we have broken the mould recently with that.
5.) 30 May 2023 09:51:23
I really hope with get an athletic DM this transfer season and not just AMs that also play DM from time to time. Savic is good but my eye would be on others.
6.) 30 May 2023 11:36:02
Was just of the opinion fsg like to buy younger players that's all.
{Ed002's Note - FSG don't decide on the players to buy.}
17 Mar 2023 20:01:50
Ed002, are we looking at Julian Brandt as some are reporting?
{Ed002's Note - Julian Brandt (W/AM/CM) Agent has been hawking him around the PL as he is a Free Agent in the summer but there is no clear interest. BD may look to a new contract.}
1.) 18 Mar 2023 07:32:26
Strange considering Klopp was previously interested before he moved to BD. would be a good punt ona free.
2.) 18 Mar 2023 09:14:23
JB would be a terrible buy. We already have 3 youngsters who are similar in type and 2cant get any game time.
3.) 18 Mar 2023 09:25:12
Having a great season and previously sought by Klopp. Might be a decent signing to replace Ox on a free.
4.) 18 Mar 2023 10:03:04
Is is free? We’ll take him beggars can’t be choosers.
5.) 18 Mar 2023 00:14:34
Thank you.
6.) 18 Mar 2023 00:55:17
Defo on his way then.
7.) 18 Mar 2023 10:35:19
Just what we need. Another midfielder who can’t put his foot in.
03 Mar 2023 12:02:19
Ed002, is there anything to the Liberty Media reports potentially investing in FSG? I would imagine there would be issues since they own the Atlanta Braves, unless they invested directly in Liverpool which I don't know is possible or not.
{Ed002's Note - Liberty Media who own the Atlanta Braves and Formula 1 want to extend their portfolio have looked at investment in Manchester United. Investment in FSG would be difficult due to ownership of the Atlanta Braves.}
1.) 03 Mar 2023 16:58:46
Thank you.
18 Dec 2022 16:18:15
Ed002, any chance for a sharkopod as a Christmas gift for us?
{Ed002's Note - Perhaps at some point.}
1.) 18 Dec 2022 16:47:10
Cheers Ed! Hope you have an excellent and boozy Christmas.
2.) 18 Dec 2022 17:57:19
Easy on the positivity Victor.
3.) 18 Dec 2022 18:05:58
Never ever do a Sharapova off the back of a world cup.
4.) 18 Dec 2022 18:36:06
See your boy Nkunku has signed for Chelsea Jude, you’re a jinx on these things! Can you change your name to Dembele Amrabat?
5.) 18 Dec 2022 19:54:43
I'd do Sharapova on the back of anything personally Oh Mane.
6.) 19 Dec 2022 08:12:33
To be fair stone so would I. Fecking autocorrect ?.
7.) 19 Dec 2022 08:14:10
Dont worry, i'll hit a homer with Bellingham Victor?.
04 Aug 2019 21:47:46
If reports are to be believeed that he is off to Belgium, all the best to Mignolet. He handled himself with class through a very difficult time for himself.
1.) 05 Aug 2019 11:39:29
It's tough being the starter, then losing your place and sitting on the bench for 2 years (first behind Karius then Alisson) . All the best to Migs. YNWA.

Ed002. you brilliant, brilliant man. Slot has been amazing! YNWA, Ed002.

Happy Easter everyone!

Happy Easter Stone.
2.) 20 Apr 2025 15:12:55
Watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang while waiting for the match.
3.) 20 Apr 2025 15:56:14
Leicester have set a Premier League Home record of not scoring a goal after eight home games goalless for the Foxes
That record will bite the Dust today, if they can't score against our Defence, they will never score another premier home league this season.
We couldn't defend an INNOCENT man.
4.) 20 Apr 2025 16:32:01
Happy Easter mate!
5.) 20 Apr 2025 17:32:05
And yet we have the second best defence in the League.
6.) 20 Apr 2025 18:52:40
And another clean sheet Irish. Some fans are never content.
7.) 20 Apr 2025 19:41:12
Aye StEtienne though some comments are made purely to provoke reactions and comments from actual fans, we see it a lot these days unfortunately.
8.) 20 Apr 2025 19:18:18
Especially if TAA comes on.
Why is he on the bench. This spot should go to someone who is committed to the club.
Tired of the focus being on him.
Let him pack his bags and look for a house in Madrid. We need to move on.
And as for his Google advert. That tells me everything I need to know about the man.
12 Apr 2025 22:53:07
Just curious if anyone happened to have an update on Sean Cox? Hope he is well, ynwa.
1.) 12 Apr 2025 23:20:35
I haven't heard anything Stone so I would presume that's he's still doing as well as can be expected mate.
2.) 13 Apr 2025 00:12:31
I saw a post saying he'll be at the match later today.
3.) 13 Apr 2025 00:13:29
Stone I just saw a comment from Aldo saying that Sean was in town and going to the match tomorrow. So he's doing fine thank God ?.
4.) 13 Apr 2025 00:14:41
He's going to the game tomorrow.
5.) 13 Apr 2025 01:23:58
Never ever forget that Man City players, management and coaching staff, led by none other than that rat Sterling, sung a song mocking Sean Cox.
6.) 13 Apr 2025 09:21:30
Yes Viktor absolute **** the lot of them.
7.) 13 Apr 2025 10:10:52
Don't worry lad's that song will NEVER be forgotten by us.
8.) 13 Apr 2025 12:17:12
Oh, Nice one Keith. 'Hope hour Sean is recovering nicely and adjusting a lot better to life.
9.) 13 Apr 2025 13:28:30
good to hear he'll be there today!
01 Apr 2025 12:40:41
Ed025, I'd love your insight on this please. I'm not in England so I don't have a common frame of reference, but I don't understand what happened with the "friendly derby"? With many in the city feeling isolated from the rest of England you would think this derby would be a kind of celebration of the city and use it as an opportunity to come together. Cheer for your club for sure, but before and after use it as an opportunity to come together as a community. The vitriol between the two sides is awful. I can only speak for myself and I'm sure most will bash me for this, but if Liverpool don't win the league, I'd want Everton to and I'd hope that Everton fans would show up for the parade when Liverpool win the league to celebrate. I would hope when Everton win silverware again, Liverpool fans would celebrate as well. Why would a city that feels like the country is against them be so divided by something as trivial as football? I'm sure Liverpool fans would blame Everton for being jealous of their success, whilst Everton would blame Liverpool for being arrogant. MMPA - Make Merseyside Purple Again.
{Ed025's Note - thats a wonderful way of looking at things Stone if a little bit naive, i think most of the supporters are decent people but there is a element that are not mate and are not likely to change imo, oh for the halcyon days when the likes of me would be in the paddock at Anfield wearing a blue scarf and having a good time with all my red pals, or at Wembley singing songs in the pubs without an ounce of trouble, sadly that is in the past and days that are unlikely to return, as you say its very toxic now and i feel thats more to do with the lack of respect in society than having anything to do with football my friend..
1.) 01 Apr 2025 19:31:49
I can only speak for myself but the relationship between Liverpool and Everton fans seems to have always been somewhat toxic in my lifetime. I was born in 95. And then you look at someone like Rooney who clearly always hated Liverpool with a passion. So it seems to have been that way for a while.
2.) 01 Apr 2025 20:08:01
The European ban was a factor in terms of things changing, as has been the relative success and failure of the two clubs over the last decade or so, but as Ed said it’s societal and is reflected up and down the country at lots of football grounds.
Some supporter behaviour has changed since society opened up post Covid, and also recreational drug use is more commonplace including at football. I don’t see a return to the 80s as policing is better, but equally it would be great if local rivalry was just that, and didn’t descend into the type of behaviour you see in Manchester, Glasgow, the Midlands or London at their derbies.
{Ed025's Note - absolutely JS..
3.) 01 Apr 2025 21:02:26
Its this generation of kids/ young adults who have zero respect for anyone or anything. The UK is is trouble. The way these idiots act is a joke and that's what's contributed to wrecking the relationship between the 2 clubs.
{Ed025's Note - spot on Marty mate..
4.) 01 Apr 2025 21:22:16
Social media has played and continues to play a massive role in the toxic nature of the 2 se.
{Ed025's Note - you are dead right Ashy..
5.) 01 Apr 2025 21:23:52
Social media has and continues to play a massive role in the toxic nature of both sets of fans.
6.) 01 Apr 2025 21:53:23
I’d be made up if Everton won a cup, as long as they didn’t knock us out along the way of course.
Not holding my breath that it’s going to happen though haha
I think your right in what your saying though ed025, not a lot of respect in society these days, the scumbags seem to have multiplied in recent years.
{Ed025's Note - things have changed in this world Mikey (and not for the better) the lunatics have taken over the asylum im afraid, you can rob a shop now if its under £200 worth of loot, you can murder someone and get out in 71/2 years, rape can be as low as 40 months and these are supposed to be deterrents ffs, kids carry knives like we carried school books and they wonder why, the law is an ass mate..
7.) 01 Apr 2025 22:37:02
Ed025 I’ve spoke to you a few times about this growing up in the 80s the Merseyside derby was so fierce on the pitch but red and blue side by side in the crowd. When did it change because I don’t know but with us going head to head for them few seasons little things can snow ball but family’s are red and blue so how is it so toxic but when you hear some local players like Rooney say things like the thing he hates about the city is Liverpool fc does not help.
{Ed025's Note - to be fair Grino Rooney and his type of knob head are the very problem mate..
8.) 02 Apr 2025 00:58:03
One of the major issues with social media is that it has replaced real life experiences.
Instant gratification on all things at all times, total lack of awareness of empathy and a resulting lack of imagination and the opportunity to learn by making mistakes gained from real life experiences.
People can only an imagine a world that is limited by their imagination. The idea of something happening that you have never seen before, don’t understand or have no prior knowledge of, frightens people and their reaction is generally to treat it as an enemy. Anybody who puts forward an alternative view to encourage a discussion is, often as not, automatically seen as an enemy.
That said, I’m getting old and perhaps it’s just someone getting old failing to move with the times. I remember my grandad in the 1960’s telling anyone who’d listen that the world had gone to sh1t in his lifetime. Although I’d be interested to get his opinion on kids carrying knives as an everyday activity.
9.) 02 Apr 2025 02:49:46
I am 54 and have always hated Everton from birth. I was at both finals at Wembley that 25 refers too, and the hatred from both sides was definitely there then, but not as bad as now. It’s increased since the millennium and probably due to the bitter bile witnessed from the blue half due to our successes.
My daughter decided it was a good idea to marry one of them, so obviously I didn’t attend the wedding and swiftly moved her as far away from Kirkby as possible. The grandkids are only allowed to visit if they wear Liverpool pyjamas when they come over which I bought especially for them!
10.) 02 Apr 2025 05:39:51
I'm 52 and was at one of the "Merseyside" Wembley finals. Yes there were always idiots, but by and large there was a feeling of "us scousers" against the rest of the country, from my memory. I went to as many games at Goodison as I did at Anfield because my mate had 2 season tickets at Everton. I never once felt nervous wearing red in amongst some blue, and vice versa with my mate.
I did notice a change in the early 2000s when I came back and went to a derby at Goodison. My sister, a blue, pinned my legs down in my seat when Gerard scored and then Cisse.
I believe social media, the 24 hr news cycle and people saying stuff online that they'd never say in person, have really effected the Merseyside relationship.
11.) 01 Apr 2025 22:58:40
Myself and you Ed025 always said that social media certainly changed the friendlies of local darbys.
{Ed025's Note - yeah Barry it did coincide with the internet mate and as much as i like it it certainly has its flaws..
12.) 02 Apr 2025 09:40:55
I blame Degsy and his Jag - city has never been the same since he was in charge of the council.
13.) 02 Apr 2025 09:16:28
Ed025 with social media I wonder how was started with fans from outside the city that don’t have the same connections and stuff posted then spills over. Am a fan from outside the city but always loved that part of my club and Everton. Some of the abuse local players have taken since then has been awful too when really the city should be proud of its sons no matter if they wear the red or blue the boxers that come from there state there colours but the city gets behind them and they should do the same for the local players too I suppose that’s what makes Newcastle special they have one team and the whole city gets behind it. I don’t know if there has ever been a drive by both clubs to rid this toxic atmosphere growing any more but players should be the start. Was it Ramiro Funes Mori who celebrated after getting a red for injury Origi that sort of thing will never help and most fans don’t want to see it.
{Ed025's Note - unfortunately Grino we are dinosaurs in todays world, there is no community spirit anymore and hell most people dont even know their neighbours, kids dont seem to mix nowadays mate you dont see them playing footy in the street they are all busy playing games on their phones, players are supposed to be role models but all we see really is tales of greed where they want more money bigger houses and faster more expensive cars, i give up with it all mate and when i look back at this thread i just sound like a moaning old git...which it seems i am.. :)
14.) 02 Apr 2025 12:03:23
We've spoke before how Merseyside derbies were different - Reds and blues sat beside each other and why wouldn't they? Friends, neighbours, workmates and family members could all sit together and watch the game
The games themselves were far from friendly at times mind, proper full bloody derby games whereby players gave it everything
Then came the internet, keyboard warriors and the general malaise of everything we once took for granted as some people were just complete bell-ends (for lack of family friendly words lol)
People used to leave their front doors wide open and just a glass door open so people would knock or walk on in, unfortunately we have seen society change and the derbies too are not as they were - all for the worse I'm afraid, very sad to see and the issues are on both sides, we both have these bell-ends
I was born in 1980 too, so yes younger than many here, but just shows how recent this shift change has been.
{Ed025's Note - you are spot on Bill..
15.) 02 Apr 2025 15:34:54
I went the Derby with both my red n blue mate . one of the worse ones was when Brucie let that pearoller in. the stick i got was bad . but was also great times to watch the Derby. now I seen things at the matches n the boozers which make you doubt your sanity. but won't ever be the same . shame really. now let's hammer the bitters tonight ha.
25 Mar 2025 15:06:30
I know that it's been posted here that FSG are not involved in contracts. However, I can't help but see similarities in the way the Red Sox and Liverpool deal with contracts. I understand there is a big difference between the way clubs in MLB and Premier league operate. Maybe I'm looking at this in too simplistic terms, but to me, there are definite parallels in the business models. Especially watching how the Red Sox have operated from the '70's and through the FSG years which began in the '90's. Not saying it's good or bad, just saying beginning in 2018 after the Red Sox won their last world series, they've changed the way they operate.
1.) 25 Mar 2025 15:56:04
ofcourse FSG deal with contracts, they hired the people who deal with them so indirectly they have a say in everything.
2.) 25 Mar 2025 18:13:20
Stone, Both entities are run under diff. rules, in diff. sports and under diff. financial setups regarding the PL and MLB (which has NO salary cap, btw) . The comparison could not be any more false and unbalanced.
3.) 25 Mar 2025 19:27:38
As I said, I'm probably looking at this in too simplistic terms.
16 May 2025 22:31:07
Ed001, would that investment be in FSG, or would they consider investment in Liverpool specifically?
{Ed001's Note - either or. They just want funds to work with.}
09 May 2025 22:33:32
We'll see Southern, we'll see. I'm not convinced.
25 Apr 2025 12:15:38
I know I'll get destroyed over this, but the fact is the league is better when it's too biggest clubs, Liverpool and United, are strong and competitive. If/ when there is a proper title challenge between our clubs, the ratings will go through the roof. Having said that, I'd prefer Liverpool and Everton battling it out every year.
29 Mar 2025 15:56:54
Endo3, what about Father Christmas? He comes to my house every year and brings me something.
28 Mar 2025 11:36:07
Seems to me that Ed001 is right and that it will take a couple of summers to sort out this mess. I'd love to see Isak here but I'm not sure I'd blow my load on one player if it meant we didn't strengthen the back line as well. Regardless, there will probably be a lot of sales to help fund purchases. I can see a scenario where one or both VVD and Salah resign for 2-3 years.
19 May 2025 12:19:40
Ed, hopefully you lift a trophy next season. That will be one wild party.
{Ed025's Note - that would be great Stone, but realistically we have to learn to walk before we can run mate, we will be signing a good few players over the next couple of windows so for me consolidation is the key for now, a bit of a cup run as well would be good though..
16 May 2025 22:36:46
should we refer to it as the The Chub?
15 May 2025 14:27:02
he talked about missing with Keita and Balotelli.
15 May 2025 13:37:12
Just listened to that interview. Really insightful. You're right Ed001, he has self awareness which to me gives this interview more validity. For example he takes full responsibility for failing with Keita.
14 May 2025 12:12:57
Yeah, Ed025 surprised we were lucky enough to get a result against Arsenal since they are after all the greatest club in the history of European football. RR, at the end of the day, it really doesn't matter, but personally, I don't think it's a good look.
{Ed025's Note - the job is done Stone and the trophy on the mantlepiece mate, even the mighty Arsenal cant change that.. :)
