Champions League > domestic league

[Novo]

Domestic league is your own bread and butter and the Rivalry with United is obviously more based on Domestic football then European football, So Domestic League wins in this case

[Brother Leon]

A Champions League requires alot less skill and quality to win than a League. Look at Chelsea last season,Yourselves in 2005 or us in the 1999 final.


Winning a League though undoubtedly makes you the best in your country.

Well said,Jobber.

[Locke.]

I would much rather win the Champions League and be the best in Europe than win the league and be the best in England.

Ignore Novo he can't speak about Champions League football for another 4-5 years :idc:

[King Gizzard]

Locke is was 7 years ago

I hate it when Villa fans hold onto the 1982 European Cup win

[Brother Leon]

Your fans should to make a "Come back when you win 5" banner tbh. No way we are catching up :(.


w8..




Either way we won the CL last and the League last between us. Now go back to your corner little brother ;)

[Locke.]

You are currently a much better team, the second or third best in the country some might say, but the fact still remains that we are still ahead of you in overall trophy wins. And that was what this was originally about :)

[Novo]

Actually i think United are ahead now on combined trophies

[Locke.]

Only if you include that charity shield, which is a shield

[King Gizzard]

Wish Liverpool would go back to Adidas, Warrior is terribly no matter how much they're paying you

[Novo]

60-59 and 19-18 in United's favor

and even the head to head is in United's favor..

Oh dear

[bbfan1991]

Will we ever find out what player name Brendan Rodgers wrote in that envelope?

United obviously had a plan, they dropped DHL kit deal but will still assoicate with them in another way. The club obviously have something else lined up and are in talks to extend the Nike contract, clever business opportunities for both parties.

[Novo]

Serving out my fair share of education tonight

[Brother Leon]

Only if you include that charity shield, which is a shield

It counts seeing as you have to win the League or FA Cup to get there in the first place tbh.

If we are counting League Cup where you face low division sides or Prem reserves the whole way through then we are counting the Shield :pipe:


Oh and this was about you winning the league, not winning the most trophies so.. ;)

[Locke.]

I specifically stated trophies, I made sure of that :pipe:

My good pals Mario and Vincent will be ensuring that 19 doesn't move up to 20 anytime soon while Brendan is readying the brigade for a full course assault in a few years time, so that's all good.

You have been watching Being Liverpool? I think it was fake, it would make no sense for him to actually have done that.

I was reading somewhere where Real Madrid make more off their Kit Sales than Adidas actually do, but they in return cover all of the costs for it etc and get paid less as a sponsorship deal, Whereas Nike make more off our kit sales obviously,but we don't worry about the costs and get paid more by them for the sponsorship in the first place. If this makes sense..

I imagine they have made a ****load off Ronaldo/Kaka

[Brother Leon]

:laugh:

He's changed it to hide it LOOL


Wait, it says Kings of England...must be alot older than 7 years :p

Oh... and please don't make me bring out the trophy stats again, I really can't be bothered

A clear mention of the League, followed by a mention of all trophies by yourself. Looks like you diverted what the point was matey ;)

[Locke.]

It is a shield, it is won over 1 game, 1 game that is pretty much a friendly before the season even starts. It does not count I'm afraid, meaning we win.

[bbfan1991]

I have not actually watched BL but have read lots of detailed blogs about it from Journalists on Twitter etc, so that is how I knew:blush:.

Both United/Nike get their fair share out of the profits and have a successful business relationship for ages, although United want more money from them;).

[Brother Leon]

Is the Envelope thing where he says he knows 3 people will let him down this season and he then put their names in the Envelope or was my mate winding me up.

If so then LOL! :laugh:

[Locke.]

From what I remember it was pretty much a "I'll be writing down the name of 1 player at the start of every season that I think will let us down, you don't want to be that player" sort of thing. Think it was bull**** though.

****, no Reina and Johnson

[Novo]

The Big one today in Clyde and a few small games in England

[Locke.]

Wow Reina is actually back but benched, I don't think this has ever happened before

[Novo]

On his way out in January then

[Locke.]

Dropped for being below average the last year, Jones has been pretty good these last 2 games

[Novo]

Jelavic will expose him for the average keeper that he is

[Locke.]

Sahin 16/1 first scorer, the bookies have gone mad

[Novo]

Clyde haven't got a bad stadium actually

[MTVN]

Apart from one end of it being a wall

[Locke.]

Moyes moaning in the press all week about Suarez's diving, then the Everton captain goes and gets booked for diving.

Need to take Sterling off before he is sent off, and Jones needs to fake an injury and get himself out of there, being far too dodgy today.

[Alf]

he already should have been sent off

[Locke.]

The one he actually got a yellow for was never a yellow, so he shouldn't.

[Alf]

booked osman for doing the same thing as sterling who wasn't booked, we know who the ref's fave team are

[Locke.]

Ref is having a great game now that you mention it

[Alf]

your keeper look's a bit dodgy, i think we can get another 2 or 3 in the second half

[Locke.]

Shelvey coming on, thank god

[Brother Leon]

:laugh: Gazza

[Alf]

who's this slap head coming on for the scum

[Alf]

ah ah sterling you donkey

[Legend killer]

De Gea,
Rafa, Rio, Evans, Evra,
Nani, Cleverley, Carrick, Young
Rooney,
RVP.

Have mixed feeling THANK **** there is no Scholes and in particular Giggs starting but 4-4-2 and Young FACEPALM

[Legend killer]

Ando's energy would be ideal for this game sadly i think he nailed Fergie's wife or something

[Legend killer]

My mistake Tony V in for Nani

[Alf]

Ando's energy would be ideal for this game sadly i think he nailed Fergie's wife or something
nah, he's just cr*p

[Brother Leon]

Nani has officially been frozen out. Would play him for Young.

[Legend killer]

^^ Bent both Gerrard and Feberagas over and has the energy OUR midfield lacks badly

[Legend killer]

It's a joke Young playing it's like when he brought Park in for the City game last year when he had not played for over 2 months.

However knowing Fergie THIS TEAM COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT worse

[Brother Leon]

Knowing Fergie we will never win anything :idc:

[Alf]

you thought you had won, you were wrong, you were wrong

[Locke.]

No ****ing way

[Alf]

take your buck teeth and get of the pitch suraez

[Novo]

Coates was all over Jagielka when he won that header to lay it down for Saurez so the goal should have been disalowed for that anyway

[Locke.]

Drawing with Everton.. terrible day

[Legend killer]

Knowing Fergie we will never win anything :idc:

If he has the nerve to play Giggs and Scholes in big matches NO we won't as we found out last year

I actually fancy our chances now im gonna go 2-1 us

[King Gizzard]

liverpool absolutely robbed

[Alf]

drawing at home with a bottom half team, what a fuc*ing disaster

[King Gizzard]

Twitters going mad over that Suarez celebration

say something he's well within his right to reply

[Locke.]

You seem to be very upset, did that celebration for the first goal really hurt that much?

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mclyk5YMeQ1r1fq7do1_500.gif

Hang on hang on... I believe Suarez is top scorer in the league right now

[Legend killer]

Moyes should have waved the flag at him when he went down the tunnell the LOOOL's would have been hard

[Locke.]

What the **** Coates didn't even do anything wrong either

[Legend killer]

Honestly he had his arms on Jag wasn't offside though

[Locke.]

Get yourself down to Goodison legendkiller there is a linesman that needs educating

[Novo]

He nearly bummed Jag when he went for that Header

[Legend killer]

Seriously can't get my head around Young playing??? Guy has not played for months and is a BUM at the best of times anyway Chico should have been given the nod considering his performance the other night

Anyways im out

[Locke.]

Linesman flagged for offside anyway, nothing was given for the non-foul

Probably the same linesman that gave Everton that throw in that should have been ours, 10 seconds before their second goal :idc:

[Brother Leon]

Right I'm out. Probably wont be back to educate you all tonight after we lose so catch you tomoz.

Looks like Giggs is having a hard time out there

[Legend killer]

Rumour has it Giggs paid the ref to send of a couple of players to make him look like a decent player judging by his performance it has failed badly

[Locke.]

Hernandez is a pretty likeable guy it is a shame he plays for Utd

[Brother Leon]

Everything balances out in football. A few more decisions for us and it will balance out the **** we have had at The Bridge. Torres should of had a red for the king fu kick anyway. As for the offside goal...Drogba at OT in 2010 to win them the league.


No sympathy whatsoever. As for their disgusting fans..as if booing the hillsborough silence was disgusting enough now they are booing someone due to their catain racially abusing his lil bro. Have that you scum *****.

So happy for Rio at the end.

Why were they robbed?

Ivanovic should of gone off, Torres should been off a long time before he was and the offside goal clearly has balanced out due to the Drogba one. They have had so many ridiculous decisions and penalties against us in the past the whole "Chelsea were robbed" thing is cringeworthy.

[Novo]

Let's be honest if that was Van Persie or Rooney who got caught as much as Johnny Evans caught Torres then they would have gone down and got a free kick, hate how commentators say " he was entitled to go down there " when other players do it but Torres isn't entitled to go down and win a free kick after contact was made with him?

Errm....the commentary was with Chelsea the whole way through if anything. They were willing them to comeback more than their fans were probably, so what you said is void :idc:

Yeah, a yellow for Torres was harsh there, but he shouldn't even of been on so don't care :)

Hernandez offside maybe? And why should it matter if Torres should of gone off? The second yellow was not a yellow

As I said, 2 wrongs don't make a right and karma is a load of bull****, you can't even out bad decisions in the past

[bbfan1991]

Lots of controversy in both games;).

Chelsea have had some decisions in their favour before vs United at Stamford Bridge, it just happened this time they were in United's favour. I thought that the Torres incident was harsh and yes the goal was offside, but I bet most fans do not care about that when a decision goes in their favour!

[bbfan1991]

Chelsea are making a complaint to the FA about ''inappropriate behaviour'' from Mark Clattenburg apparently towards two of their players, this will have to be investigated but it is hypocritical from them after the way John Terry behaved:rolleyes:.

And before anyone mentions Rio to me I thought that was a stupid thing for him to do!

Referees are only human, it is impossible to get every decision correct so I have some sympathy for them in that aspect.

If the alleged behaviour is swearing then players abuse the referee with swear words all the time.

Mark Clattenburg, who is accused of using "inappropriate language" towards two Chelsea players, will not officiate a match this weekend.

[bbfan1991]

The Football Association has launched a formal investigation into allegations Mark Clattenburg used "inappropriate language" towards John Obi Mikel and Juan Mata during Chelsea's acrimonious defeat to Manchester United.

Clattenburg was accused by the European champions of making comments which are understood to have been interpreted as racist during Sunday's Premier League game at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea made an official complaint to the match delegate, whose report appeared to have been passed to the FA.

A statement from English football's governing body read: "The FA has begun an investigation relating to allegations made following Sunday's fixture at Stamford Bridge between Chelsea and Manchester United (Sunday 28 October 2012).

"The FA will make no further comment at this time."

Clattenburg was at the centre of events in south-west London, sending off Branislav Ivanovic and Fernando Torres with the score at 2-2 and United went on to secure a dramatic late 3-2 success against the nine men through Javier Hernandez.

An FA probe was almost inevitable the moment Chelsea made their allegation against Clattenburg, who has vowed to co-operate fully with the authorities.

That process looks set to involve Clattenburg, Mikel and Mata all being interviewed by FA compliance officers, who are likely to speak to other potential witnesses.

Those could include other Chelsea and Manchester United players and will almost certainly see Clattenburg's assistants and fourth official asked to provide evidence.

Clattenburg, Michael McDonough, Simon Long and Michael Jones all wore microphones and earpieces on Sunday, although their conversations were not recorded.

Technology could yet be used as evidence though if video or audio footage emerges in support of either Clattenburg or his accusers.

The probe could also examine an 'extraordinary incident report' understood to have been filed by Clattenburg. These are submitted by referees on matters that may require FA intervention.

The Professional Game Match Officials confirmed the referee would not officiate a match this weekend stating: "that with any football match the focus should not be on the officials but on the players and the game itself".

The Brazilian goalkeeper has been on extended leave in his homeland due to personal problems since missing the pre-season tour of North America in July.

However, after a four-month absence, Doni is finally expected back at Melwood over the next fortnight to challenge fellow shot-stoppers Pepe Reina , Brad Jones and Peter Gulacsi.

EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool give blogger written apology for ‘inappropriate’ director behaviour

By Nick Harris

SJA Internet Sports Writer of the Year

30 October 2012

Liverpool’s managing director Ian Ayre has apologised in writing on behalf of the club for the inappropriate behaviour of communications director Jen Chang towards Liverpool fan Sean Cummins, the creator of spoof journalist ‘Duncan Jenkins’, during a meeting between the pair on 22 August and in the days afterwards.

Cummins, a 35-year-old copy writer from south Manchester, gained 40,000 followers for Jenkins’ Twitter account, where he tweeted misspelled nonsense, malapropisms, Colemanballs and ‘inside’ information that had actually been picked up second-, third- and fourth-hand from around the internet.

Chang became so concerned about ‘perspiring journalist’ Jenkins, who described himself as a member of the blogging ‘paternity’, that he met Cummins in a Manchester restaurant on 22 August and asked Cummins to tweet as Jenkins that a) ‘Jenkins’ was not real; b) ‘Jenkins’ had no club mole.

Cummins detailed the meeting and the aftermath in an explosive blog post on 12 October, in which he outlined a series of accusations against Chang, including that Chang had effectively threatened to ban him from games by cancelling his shared season ticket.

The full extent of Chang’s alleged threats is detailed in the blog (linked here).

Sportingintelligence has established beyond doubt that the meeting took place; that all the tweets and emails within the blog are genuine; and that Liverpool have seen evidence of the above.

Ayre met Cummins in person in Liverpool last week to hear Cummins’ side of the story. Ayre held a second meeting with Cummins in Liverpool today, when he handed over a letter of apology.

Ayre writes in the letter: “Based on everything I have heard and seen, including information provided by the parties involved in the matter, I acknowledge some of the elements you highlight were not appropriate …

“I would therefore like to apologise to you on behalf of Liverpool FC, for any upset and distress this caused you.

“Clearly it is not appropriate for me to comment on how the club is managing this internally, and I trust you understand this.”

Liverpool have declined to comment on what disciplinary action, if any, Chang might now face.

Sources say that Liverpool’s chairman Tom Werner has already rebuked Chang, privately and verbally, for his meeting with Cummins and the way he handled its aftermath, but Chang has declined to comment on this – or provide any public account of his version of events.

Asked on 12 October whether Cummins’ blog was a faithful account of their meeting on 22 August, Chang emailed to say: ‘No, it’s total nonsense’.

He declined to respond to follow-up emails which asked for clarification about what actually happened.

It has subsequently been proved beyond doubt via CCTV footage, emails, texts and phone records that every part of Cummins’ story that it is possible to verify using that evidence has been verified.

What nobody will ever be able to verify is precisely what Chang said to Cummins during a 1 hour, 46-minute lunch on 22 August (right), but Cummins feels vindicated with the apology and acknowledgement that his concerns were genuine.

“As a Liverpool supporter, I fully appreciate that our great club has got a lot more serious issues to handle than what a spoof character was writing on Twitter,” Cummins has told Sportingintelligence this afternoon.

“It was never, ever my intention to distract from those issues, and I was shocked and surprised things unfolded as they have done, over a made-up character who was always clearly trivial.

“All I ever wanted was an apology and I got one in writing today.”

[Novo]

[King Gizzard]

Do you blame them for leaving though really?

[MTVN]

[Brother Leon]

A day of Minions playing before the big one at the bridge tomorrow.

[MTVN]

Walcott feels a bit stupid now for walking off with the match ball

[Brother Leon]

And they say this cup is worthless

It still is.....


I would take beating Arsenal 1-0 on the weekend over beating Chelsea tomorrow 10-0.

[MTVN]

Giroud and Coquelin threw their shirts into the crowd after 90 minutes thinking it went to a replay :joker: they had to ask to have them thrown back

[MTVN]

Bradford won tonight as well, excellent

How can you say it's terrible when you witness a match like that? top players clearly care enough about it to come back from 4-0 down to take the tie, 2 Domestic cups > 1 Domestic cup

[Brother Leon]

So the cup is worthless. If it wasn't worthless EVERY team would genuinely aim to win it and field their strongest XI every game. Yeah if a team like Bradford or Liverpool wins it it would be great for them, but doesn't change the fact the cup is....worthless ;)

'The match was good, the cup is worthless

Should get rid of it, other countries only have one cup and look how they benefit

[MTVN]

Well it's your best chance of winning your first trophy in 16 years and the only tournament you'll get close to one in :idc:

[Novo]

we've got the current Champions of Europe even though they play in 2 domestic cups, as long as teams continue to have good squad depth then i don't see the harm in it, gives the fans a chance to see youth players and fringe players play competitive football as well

[Locke.]

It is a great tournament, the best domestic trophy you could possibly win some say.

[Novo]

Doesn't mean much if you beat a Championship side in the final though might i add

[Locke.]

Some say it means even more if you do it like that, smaller teams treating it like a Champions League game and all

[King Gizzard]

Well it's your best chance of winning your first trophy in 16 years and the only tournament you'll get close to one in :idc:

12 years* and shutup

It's like the Europa League, don't give a **** about that in all, Champions League or bust

[MTVN]

Was that the Intertoto Cup :suspect: should bring that back actually

[King Gizzard]

they all count :joker:

[King Gizzard]

I'm not really bothered about winning these cups unless it's the FA cup

[bbfan1991]

The Arsenal vs Reading game last night was crazy and I am pleased that Villa won too!

[bbfan1991]

Former Blackburn and Manchester United defender Henning Berg to be confirmed as new Rovers boss at news conference on Thursday.

RANGERS: Alexander; Hegarty, Perry, Emilson, Wallace; Black, Hutton, Macleod; Little, McCulloch, Shiels

Time for us to knock out another SPL side

[Locke.]

Swansea playing pretty much their first team apart from Vorm, they are 5/1 to win aswel

[Novo]

Think i have them on a +1 at 11/10

[Novo]

Rangers are Evens at home to Inverness, this time last year we would have been about 1/6 odds on against them at home

[Marcus.]

Chelsea might aswell bring on Hazard and Oscar and play their strongest possible XI. :joker:

Giggs and Ando ripping it ATM :amazed:

[Locke.]

Would be willing to take Poulsen back if it meant getting rid of Joe Cole

[Marc]

Many black on black tackles here... the next white on black and the ref will get his card out.

[Mystic Mock]

We can have Joe Cole Locke.

[Locke.]

Mock believe me he wouldn't be able to get into a league 2 side nevermind a championship one

[Brother Leon]
