[bluelife]

Got to admit I like Hamman quite a lot, he's pretty funny on that show with Colin Murray on talksport

"1. Liverpool, 2. Chelsea, 3. Man City, 4. Arsenal, Bottom three: Southampton, Burnley, Leicester.

"Most people will understandably write Liverpool off having lost their best player & with the added burden of Europe again. But last season was no fluke. The runners-up have reinvested the Suarez cash wisely, and for the first time in years have proper strength in depth and a solid defence.

"In Sterling, Coutinho and Sturridge they also possess the kind of young, attacking talent that will only improve, and which can compensate for the departure of their former talisman. Liverpool can go one better than last year, and be the surprise champions the premier league so desperately needs. There will be life after Luis, just you watch."


LOL

just read it, what does he base this on? they've bought a load of players from the team who finished 8th.

they've been a one man team for a good 3 years and that one man has left. he's based it on the dortmund game i'd think

 

[TomDixie]

He works for LFCtv as a pundit. He's not going to risk that cash...that's his betting money.

As the likes of Griffiths, Stuart and Sharpe were pointing out during our fabric event midweek, no football club employee is allowed to bet on any football now.

 

[toffeejack]

Their attitude is bizarre (echoed by Hamman in todays rags I see):[paraphrasing] 'We've lost a world class player, but he was always big trouble; now we've replaced him with some average players so we'll be better than before'.

It's the football equivalent of some tortured soul sitting on the floor comforting themselves by rocking backward and forward and sucking their thumb.

thought it was good form from hamman tbh. not toeing the line the rest of them have by thinking the player's bigger than the club, he had got tired of him dragging the club further through the mud

Massive kopite whopper Roan, in preaching the Gospel according to the Cult shocker.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Agree. Just like that useless cart Carroll did twice despite us slagging him off. He's one of the worst centre forwards they've ever had, and he scored in two derbies against us. How typical is that

Everton that innit?

Would he have said it if Suarez remained?

Still hurting from last season I see. One of the fawning media suckholes who were devastated when their heroes fell apart under pressure.

 

[bosanka]

Anyone know if Moreno is any good?

 

[rascal]

Is Roan hinting at the Kopites being a small club there?

"Liverpool can go one better than last year, and be the surprise champions the premier league so desperately needs."

When talking of a surprise, in football language that's always a small club upsetting the big clubs.

 

[ScouseBlueBoy]

Do you think that the journalists manage to keep a straight face when he comes out with tosh like that?

I think they encourage it.

A bit like when you know someone is an absolutely appalling singer, yet you tell them how great they are before pushing them towards the pub karaoke.

Reads that way doesn't it? The way they believe this poor man's club tripe really tickles me ribs. As for Roan's prediction, a physicist will concede that anything in the universe is theoretically possible, but only a total Anfield stooge would put them as favourites for the title.

 

[rascal]

Yup, it is totally absurd of course.

they've not been a contender apart from last season since prem's inception- of course it would be a surprise
