      Gday all, hope everyone is doing well. I haven’t watched a game all season & only see the results on the news etc. A mate of mine ( manu fan) reckons if you can bet on something it’s rigged, sport no exception. He pointed out the Leicester miraculous win after Chelsea & city bought all those players & dominated the league for a few seasons. Also reckons Liverpool win was rigged as they haven’t won it for so long.
      He predicted at the start of the season manu will win it as it’s all about money & with them being so popular worldwide it’s good for the league to have them back on top, much like Liverpool last season.
      I’d usually brush these comments but not so sure these days. There’s a lot of money involved in professional sports & I would not be at all surprised if any sport is rigged.
      Anyhow comrades, apologies for a bizarre post but with the world like it is, anything is possible. On a positive, summer time is rocking here in Oz, surfs not great but JetSki is pumping & life’s good. Take care all. Woohoo

        G’day all, hope everyone is doing well.

        Just had a read and thought I’d chuck my 2 cents worth in. KDB not turning up for big games? IMO & a lot of others as well, he is close to the best player in the EPL and you don’t get people saying that if you don’t turn up in bug games. I’d certainly love to have him at Liverpool for big games.
        I just can’t enjoy the football without crowds and not being biased I do believe it effects Liverpool a bit more than most.
        I think it was G. NEVILLE that said Liverpool and city arent as strong as last season & unfortunately I have to agree with him ( that said I’m only watching highlights and reading match reports). chelsea seem to be going well as do spurs and Leicester but it’ll be a while before we can see who is the real deal.
        Hopefully a vaccine for corona not to far away and we can get back to normality. Summer here in Oz and the ocean is where I belong so woohoo for that.
        Anyhow just a quick check in, stay safe all and up the reds.

          Hi all, hope everyone is going well.
          I haven’t seen a season predictions thread for this season so I’ll just put mine on here.

          1 city
          2 chelsea
          3 liverpool
          4 manu

          top 2 and 3rd and 4th could go either way.

          Take care everyone.

            Gday all, hope everyone is doing well, as much as Hendo has proven to be very important for LFC I find this award somewhat generous, but as Hendo himself said it’s more of a team award than an individual one.
            As much as I dislike man city if KDB isn’t the best & at least one of the most influential players in the EPL I’m not an Oz Yob.
            Anyhow great to see a Liverpool captain finally lift the EPL trophy & so chuffed for the club, city and of course all the fans. Just a pity we can’t see the massive parade i envisaged when I dreamt of the title coming to Anfield.
            Stay safe all, take care.

              Gday all, hope everyone is keeping safe. Just seen on the sports news Liverpool have won the EPL. Awesome for the fans, club & city to finally have the EPL monkey off the back, congrats to the players & staff.
              I know not all fans represent their club the right way but I’m glad we can go out at city as champions. Hearing those city fans singing about Sean cox still lingers with me, as does the footage of the staff & players singing on the plane about how Mo Salah’s won F all. Well champions league, super cup, EPL etc isnt a bad sort of a season is it, maybe they’ll have to change their song just a little bit ?.
              Anyways stay safe all, we are just starting to have a ride in infections from this f’ing virus & the sheeple are starting to panic but f’ing toilet paper again & it’s hard to get so it looks like I’ll be showering with the thongs on once again. (By thongs I mean pluggers, flip flops or whatever you want to call them, NOT g strings). Take care everyone.

                Gday all, hope everyone is doing ok. So I’ve followed LFC since Craig Johnston played for them & seen so many near misses over many years and finally it seemed this season was the one where we got to celebrate the EPL title finally at Anfield. It appears that once again, only this time for a reason outside football, that LFC will once again miss out on getting that elusive title with the season likely to be abandoned. Adlab will be stoked ( yeah he’ll come on saying they deserved it but we know he’s ecstatic), as will many others that despise LFC but regardless I believe LFC deserved to be finally called EPL champions & not seeing them get their reward for an amazing season was the final straw for me, I have lost all interest in the game. It feels like an injustice
                Truth be told I’d lost my passion for the game in recent seasons, esp after fox sports lost the rights in Oz for the coverage & I could no longer watch it. I acknowledge the importance of not resuming football as life is more important & I agree the game cannot start again with this deadly virus still so active so don’t see it as sour grapes or being a sook, just someone that doesn’t enjoy the game any more, as I said I was losing passion in any case. I see myself & family very lucky as both the wife & I have jobs classed as essential services so despite being stuck in isolation we haven’t faired too bad. Sorry for the long post but I will more than likely not post again (unless I head over there again & come looking for advice or to catch up with someone) so take care everyone and I hope you all stay safe & enjoy life to the fullest. Waters cold here but the surfs up & I’ve got a cracking steamer so it’s all good.
                Cheers folks, it’s been great Cyber chums.

                  Hope you keep your job chuckster, friends of ours literally gutted their house to renovate & they are both now without income ( they both have small businesses) and are struggling to get contractors to do the rebuild for them. The sooner this bloody thing is gone the better.
                  Even worse still Mate you could be a manc or a bitter bluenose.
                  Take care bud.

                    Sean great attitude to have mate, I hope you and others can somehow keep your jobs. I’m lucky as the wife & I are both classed as essential services so we’ve managed to keep our jobs. Our 18y/o daughter has a job at a major supermarket so she’s working a lot as well.
                    We have done well in Oz but the drop in restrictions won’t be much of a drop & we certainly won’t be free of them. I’m hearing it’ll mainly be schools opening up again and some minor reductions in the restrictions but make no mistake we will still be far from resuming normal life.
                    Stay safe champion & hopefully we will have some luck with cures or immunisations in the near future.

                      G’day all, hope everyone is going well, I haven’t been on for a while so just saying hello. I’m much like Sean and haven’t really given football a second thought. Truth be told I’d pretty much lost interest prior to this terrible virus so nothing really changed much on that front.
                      As for the restrictions across the world, we are going a lot better here in Oz than most countries but unfortunately still losing lives. Talk is over here they will be looking at easing some aspects of the restrictions in a month or so if we keep going like we are so hopefully they can do it safely.
                      I’m absolutely hanging for an outlet with no surf or jet skiing allowed at the moment due to being an hour and a half from the coast and not being able to travel anywhere but I guess we can count ourselves fortunate that is all we have on our plate. I’ve lucky as I’ve got a home gym set up and run the dogs regularly, as well as ride the bike with a mate so at least I have some sort of outlet.
                      Anyhow take care everyone and hopefully we can get back to a normal sort of life in the near future with no more lives being lost.

                        Adlab even with injuries your winning 8-0, it’s your depth that will win it again for you. Too much quality in the squad for anyone to compete with. Your on the money with our injuries, we lose one of the top 3 or worse 2 of them & we are screwed. Your midfield has a lot more variety & quality than ours as well & whilst your D could be better your too potent up top for it to be enough to stop another EPL title. As I said recently It’s a pretty predictable scenario, I’m not just saying it to be negative.

                          I don’t get to watch games so I Quickly jumped on to see what happened & whilst we got up it seems we didn’t play well, is that how it went? It seems from what I’m reading we have a couple of problems that have been exposed in the last few games & we are winning ugly so to speak.
                          This is looking very similar to last season. Out of the blocks quickly, win ugly a few times & look like we finally have some steel, have a few off games during/after the busy Xmas/January period & drop some points & eventually the relentless city overtake us.
                          As for Hendo & our midfield, he’s improved & we probably have the most depth there but it’s not quality, we are pretty much same same with our midfield players. (Fabinho is one of the best at his job though, I’m with Sean that one). Against the vast majority we could probably get away with it but city are just better than the majority & as Ive said the last couple of seasons their quality in depth is why they will win the EPL again.
                          It’s not just the EPL that’s becoming predictable, New England patriots will win the NFL, New Zealand will win the Rugby Union, barca or real will win their comp, juve will win, Celtic win win theirs, roosters will win Oz rugby league, canterbury crusaders will win the club rugby union in Oz & NZ, it goes on & on & is why I watch F all sport any more.
                          Take care all, talk soon

                            As for this site, it’s the best around IMO & doesn’t have anyone that thinks they’re above the rest like TT does. I refuse to post on there with all the keyboard tough guys knowing they’ll never have to back up their talk. I actually like how this is a general site & enjoy the well thought out views of opposition fans on here. No belittling or BS & it’s just good to have a chin wag to good people.
                            Take care all & talk in a week or so.

                              Geez we have trouble with Napoli, I’d rather play the rich clubs than them. Tough win v Chelsea & I still think they’ll come good & get top 4. Deserved win last week & a great start continues.
                              Rogers is turning Leicester into a pretty formidable outfit, I always said he never got enough credit for our almost season. Yeah he had SSS but he came up with a set up that got the best out of them IMO, although he lost the plot at the end & had to go.
                              Tough tough gig coming up this weekend & I think we will struggle to get a win. Spurs are weird & can’t pick what team will turn up. Still certain city will end up winning it but hopefully not.

                                GJ sorry for your loss bud, glad the footy cheered you up a bit.
                                Beni, tough times mate, seeing anyone deteriorate health wise is always difficult but when it’s immediate family it’s painful beyond words. Football really is insignificant in comparison, take care mate, stick with family & get each other through the tough times. I went through similar recently & family will get you through.

                                  Nil no grudges from me it’s just the way it is mate, money rules sport these day’s & unless you’ve got a shed load you wont be successful.
                                  Nine it’s just showing c$ty aren’t going as bad recently in the EPL as some are making out. 1 bad game doesn’t mean they are going bad & performances haven’t been too bad. Liverpool aren’t going too bad results wise either but performances have been pretty ordinary for a while now & we’ve had our share of luck in a couple of games. Yes you need luck but when performances are getting progressively worse & your lack of depth is being exposed dropped points is never far away, as we are finding out now.
                                  I think most predicted c$ty would win the EPL due to their quality in depth so I’m just stating the obvious there, it’s just when people say things like if Liverpool win a certain game the title race was over, despite only just being half way through the competition. I fully expect c$ty to have it all but wrapped up with 4 or 5 games to go. I hope I’m wrong but that’s how I see it going.
                                  Chucks I just think you lot are like us & a bit short in quality back up players. Good 1st team but but thin after that.

                                    Threeps I just don’t think we have the squad to go the distance mate, simple as that. I said recently I think our best chance of winning anything is a cup but we only have the very difficult C/L left in that regard so maybe next season. Hope your right mate.

                                      Mak the fact of the matter is c$ty have a far superior squad to the rest of us as they’ve spent a an unbelievable amount of money on it to which no one can match. That’s the bottom line mate, money talks & c$ty have pretty much an unlimited amount

                                          Nine if it’s tight until the last 3 or 4 games that’s when you can say it’s a title race. Liverpool have been very average for a while now & your saying c$ty aren’t going that well either. They lost 1 game at Newcastle in their last 8 games, Liverpool has lost 1 drawn 2 & are getting progressively worse. I reckon it’ll be wrapped up with games to spare, but I’m just negative.

                                            Haha your funny nine, c$ty making a fight of it, all they can do is put pressure on. You do realize they are on top right.
