Mourinho moaning? I can't believe it! :pac:

But seriously the tie with Liverpool wont have a great effect on things as its just after the international break, but to be absolutely fair, they have 3 tough games in 7 days so at least its a bit justified. However, as you said, they have a huge expensive squad so I wont be crying for them any time soon.

He's just creating that bull**** he does at every club.

The siege mentality, the FA is against us, the referees are against us, the premier league are against us. He will do anything to accept blame for anything that goes on.

I'm quietly confident we will beat them in 2 weeks time, bar the Leicester game they have looked very poor and will really struggle with the pace and movement of our forwards.

Way too much positivity around. Probably a nailed on defeat tomorrow.

Swansea is the exact type of game we have tripped up in over the last few seasons. I think it's one win in five at the Liberty Stadium - pretty bad return.
They've only got 4 points and I think bought and sold really badly in the summer, but they managed to give City a decent scare last week for about an hour so we will have our work cut out for us.
Hopefully we get can put down a marker early on and push on from there.
It'd be a real sickener to lose just before the international break - stewing on a defeat for a fortnight then!!
Get three points and we are in a good position, with either Spurs or City (or both!) going to drop points as they play eachother.
I'd love to get a clean sheet. It doesn't happen very often!

I did say most

I do remember Klopp being a tad surprised at the way the games can come thick and fast at times....

It's an age thing too though. A group of lads in their 20s for instance are more likely to start up a chant than, say, some lads in their 40s/50s who may well have kids with them.
Younger fans have been completely priced out of football and it's such a shame and it'll be one more negative legacy of the PL era.
At 70 euro a pop, in recent years, for the first time in 20 years I've debated whether going over as I do is worth it financially.
Match going, match rituals such as singing etc have died off and much of it can be directly linked to the increased cost of everything football related.

I've only been to Anfield once and my Dad got us tickets for my 18th.

It was 10 years ago now 10/9/06. Between work, family and money I haven't been able to get over again but over the next few years I hope to put that right.

I'm aiming to try get to 2 or 3 matches a year from next season so here's hoping everything goes to plan.

Enough of that shoite! Was supposed to happen against Hull too but we blew them away. It's old hat. We're going to smash the bollocks off Swansea. 1-4 Liverpool.

Hull was at home, our achilles heel last season seemed to be away to middling to poor opposition, Watford, Newcastle among others, games were you just knew about 5 minutes in it was going to be one of those days. Burnley have already done us this season. I hope that we will have sorted that out this season but I'd feel more comfortable if we were playing a good team as opposed to Swansea, so I can definitely see where trepidation is coming from.

Always there's a banana skin of a game but Swansea aren't quite the team they have been in the last few years imo. Should be a fairly comfortable Liverpool win

Going to the palace game the end of next month, I'll happily take another dodgy last minute penalty winner, while watching Pardew spontaneously combust with rage.

I'll be in the palace end too

I was in the Palace end for that game last year! Sat with Adrian Mariappa's cousin and friend - both Liverpool fans, as is Adrian himself they said.

Great game

TAA in the England U19 sqaud, Ejaria in the U20 squad - I wonder if he'll stick with England as Nigeria were certainly interested at one point.

That was another one of those performances last season, admittedly they managed to scrape out a jammy win, hopefully it's a thing of the past, big test tomorrow, good indicator to see what we're made of, if we smash them then we're really in business imo.

Nigeria seem to be really trawling for players at the moment, were mad after Ibe too.

Really touch decision for a kid though. I guess a lot depends on how you grew up...were there annual summer trips back to Nigeria, or is it almost as alien to him as it would be for us?

On the other hand, the England team is such a tough nut to crack, as it often seems talent doesn't necessarily get you in. They have such a habit of sticking with most of the same guys for a whole generation, and if you're not in that cluster early on, there's only ever a few spots up for grabs. With Barkley, Delle Alli, and Dier all already fairly established squad members, midfield is a difficult one.

Those Irish/English lads had it nice and easy - a one hour flight, the same language, practically the same culture for the most part, and international football ahoy!

Nothing on Physioroom anyway. Origi and Lovren late fitness tests, Gomez back 29th October and Ojo has no return date yet.

As long as the Main Man Firmino is ready to go that should do

Away to Swansea is a Sturridge game if he's fit alright I reckon though. Conceding a lot of goals, lost their best defender over the summer. They're at home so need to push forward at least to some extent. If this isn't a game we use Sturridge in, then there isn't a game we use him in imo.

~Rebel~

Finally just watched Harry's England/Croatia video - christ that kid from City, Jordan (another one?!) Sancho was unreal. Ridiculously quick feet. There's gonna be a few bargains at City in the coming seasons i'd say, as they'll have Sterling, De Bruyne, Sane, Gabi Jesus, and Sancho all looking for games.

Benteke scored a world class header there a few minutes ago, against Everton.

Great striker, just not for our system.
