miketh2nd Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Klopp is a great manager and congrats to him . Only gripe is that some players get very badly injured rumored to because of the hard fitness regime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a typical south american team like the mexicans the other night. No sympathy for either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe that they only had one booking, even the 'penalty' decision that was reversed could have been a red card! How come there was no free kick outside the area?

Slacker Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Oh well!Looking on the bright side at least I won't see most of the plastic bin dippers that I work with until the New Year so every cloud and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Amazing insight into Klopp and Liverpool. He is, IMO, one of the best managers of my lifetime. Not because he a great coach but a a great motivator. The references to the lack of Premier League / First Division titles and how consuming it is for both club and fans to have it happen again, leads me to say this. Those City fans under 45/50 years of age must find it difficult to understand what those of us who were around when we got there in 1976. We are driven by the fact that we must return there and every year that we miss out hurts us just like it hurts Liverpool fans not to have won the title for around thirty years. We haven't been there for forty years and it's about bloody time that we were!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal fans TV would’ve wanted him gone after the first season if he was theirs. Many Liverpool fans wanted Klopp out early before.

I’d love to see Liverpool and the other 19 premier league clubs all fail That's why I don't see how anyone can support 2 teams. What will they do if we get to the prem I wonder.

OldlandReddies Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Can't help thinking that pointless mini tournament could mess Liverpool right up for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddoh Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 British team against team not British I support the British team. I don't give a flying who wins sky's best league in the world Bollocks unless it's City. Merry Christmas one and all and may Father Christmas deliver your dreams or wishes.

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 I certainly don't, or can't support any other side. Quite like it when lesser or not so rich overall off sides stick it to the more established ones though. Sheffield United being 5th (!) in PL approaching Christmas is a good example! Burnley coming 7th,similar. Conversely, I'm glad to see Aston Villa struggling and hope it continues for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Quite surprised how seriously the rest of the world takes this competition. Often forget it exists. How anyone could claim that Al-Hilal would be the world's best team if they won it is frankly laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often quite a good match up if and when that's the final.. The rest? A bit meh IMO. Certainly at club level (probably all levels) it goes Europe, South America-then daylight, lots of it. Mexican League probably alright too but you could class it under Copa Libertadores I expect, if not in actual zones thinking style etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City oz Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 On 19/12/2019 at 20:21, Distortia said: I was thinking this. I suppose a few/many on here are of the age where they were getting into football in the 80s where Liverpool had a lot of success - I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of members were fans of Liverpool in their younger years, die to their success, then switched to City once they were able to go to games and devote more of their lives to their local team. Just a theory though! You are correct I think most of us or a high percentage are old enough where we started supporting teams in the 80s and even the 70s. I remember having an old fashioned scrap book and cutting out all the Liverpool football reports from the Sunday newspapers and proudly sticking them in my scrap book. I was at Stockwood Green School during these years and all the kids took their scrap books to school on the Monday. Liverpool was the most popular football club with all of us and I dreamed all the time that City who I watched every home game during these years would some day be as good as Liverpool.

They are, but winning this FIFA ego trip for Qatar doesn’t make them it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
