Well played Tadic.
-
Obvious, predictable and pathetic.

Would love to be able to be as generous spirited as you. I try, I really do. It's a far better way to live one's life. Negativity and hate are destructive emotions to carry around. But it's no good - even the way Lallana walks makes me want to spit bile.

Vic had better be careful now then. Risky.

Nervous about Vic. Might be better to sub him rather than risk going down to 10 and more suspensions.

Their drugs better than our drugs.

Friction between Koeman and some of the players according to The MoS

Those prone to conspiracy theories could say it's perfectly timed to generate some disruption in the dressing room just ahead of the Leicester game. -
I heard from my Liverpool supporting neighbour that there is to be a minutes silence this weekend.

I agree, I'd have him over Milner but if he's hardly kicked a ball all season he won't have been picked on form, plus can he be trusted to not get crocked again with those ankles? Can't see Hodgson dropping Milner anyway, unfortunately.

Back down to earth with a bump. Although the Germany result was great, we seem to have overlooked that we conceded 3 goals (one wrongly disallowed) against them, and another 2 today (should have had a pen, as well) against an average Dutch side. Hard to get excited when you know Wayne and Jack Wilshere will be straight back in probably at the expense of more deserving players.

Terrorist Attacks - WARNING: CONTAINS DISTRESSING IMAGES
Chalkboy replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
I would prefer they reported responsibly, realise that they are doing exactly what the terrorists want them to do, and refrained from soaking us all in emotion, fear and over-dramatisation. Did you read the link I posted earlier? Here it is again http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/mar/24/scariest-brussels-reactoin-paranoid-politicians-isis-atrocity-belgium Here's an excerpt "So on Tuesday the TV news channels behaved like Isis recruiting sergeants. Their blanket hyperbole showed not the slightest restraint (nor for that matter did that of most newspapers). The BBC flew Huw Edwards to Brussels. It flashed horror across the airwaves continually for 24 hours, incanting the words “panic”, “threat”, “menace” and “terror”. Vox pops wallowed in blood and guts. One reporter rode a London tube escalator to show possible future targets, to scare the wits out of commuters. It was a terrorist’s wildest dream." -

Quote of the day! The news channels love it. The more tragedy, death, flowers, tears, bowed-heads, moments of silence, candles, looped-clips of explosions, gunfire and terrified people the better. -
Terrorist Attacks - WARNING: CONTAINS DISTRESSING IMAGES
Chalkboy replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
Just read this and it pretty much summed up how I feel about the way the media and government respond to these attacks. The terrorist organisations must love it; http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/mar/24/scariest-brussels-reactoin-paranoid-politicians-isis-atrocity-belgium As a side note, will we be having the Belgian national anthem played at every match for the next 10 days? -
Actually, to avoid Google confusion, it's not Football Origin it's actually "Orgin", only one "i". Strange title I know. Here's the website for anyone who isn't aware. It's worth bookmarking. http://www.footballorgin.net/search/label/full%20match Sh*t, I might have to watch the second half again now

Terrorist Attacks - WARNING: CONTAINS DISTRESSING IMAGES

I agree with you. The IRA was brought up to show how attacking infrastructure can be an effective tool, rather than destroying what is in effect a handful of people every now and then. If they want to destroy our way of life then they need to interfere with it on a much grander scale. Infected water, no power, no travel............ -

This is interesting; http://www.independent.co.uk/news/ira-bombs-cause-motorway-gridlock-1264995.html Far more effective than maiming and killing. -
Why did Mane look so Pi*!ed off , even after his goals?
Chalkboy replied to Mr X's topic in The Saints
Spot on - no context whatsoever. What it does do is provide a narrative about how "unhappy" he is here. I notice that rather than show Pelle's fantastic goal on MOTD2 they focus on Mane looking p*ssed off instead. -
Terrorist Attacks - WARNING: CONTAINS DISTRESSING IMAGES

Another group of innocent unsuspecting civilians mown down by nutters. Just like the Paris attacks, this will eventually go out of the news until the next attack in a few months - and so it goes on. Inevitable. I've never quite figured the point of blowing up and murdering in the way that they do. Surely, if you really want to cause chaos and terror you attack power lines, water supplies, substations, highways, train track. You bring cities to a standstill and create financial chaos. I can only assume they are a bit thick and love the idea of shredding people.
