It's probably 6-8 weeks, unless it was a pretty severe tear. But Klopp doesn't want to put a timetable on and just wants to let him recover at whatever pace, rather than putting pressure on him to return. Which is fair enough, we don't want to put him out when he's not fully healed and have a more severe repeat of this. It's a long season, we need him for as much of it as possible. It's a bit mental that Adrian is now in the position he's in after a summer not attached to a club until days before the window shut, and he's got big shoes (gloves) to fill... we know he's not as good as Alisson - he knows it too. We just have to keep working as a unit and doing the best we can in this bad situation and hope that he does a good job while also hoping that Alisson is ready to go ASAP. I've seen Adrian have good games against us, I've also seen him get utterly rocked by us - he seems like a keeper that's capable of good moments and capable of moments of madness... which we're a bit used to. I hope the crowd gets behind them, he got a good reception for just hopping in, the squad are now trying to big him up. If he's full of confidence and can fill in for a... month or two admirably that won't fuck us up too badly. I'm just relieved it's not an Achilles issue, which'd keep him out for the whole season. It's shit, but it could have been much worse. And we've seen also with Sane, who walked off the pitch against us when he'd torn his ACL... it can be a lot worse, even when it doesn't seem too bad initially because the player feels strong enough to walk.

I'm two episodes into Years and Years - depressing as fuuuuuck so far

Pop would probably mean his Achilles. And he’d probably miss the season. As he’s expected to be 4-8 weeks it’s probably a calf tear.

This is pretty decent news, all things considered: If it's a grade 2 tear, apparently the average time out is 4-6 weeks. It's obviously not ideal, because he's a phenomenal keeper. But it's better than losing him for several months.

I can't either, but it's nice

He's probably at least still better than your backup keeper.

Not even De Gea?

I think Woodward should have been sacked years ago, and probably around the time they sacked Mourinho would have been a smart time to finally cut ties with him... but if United don't finish in the top 4 this season, surely he should be sacked? Granted, I'm not sure I want him to be sacked. His lack of planning has ushered in a great banter era.

We did the same thing with Salah and we're looking to get Virgil on a new deal as well. Gotta keep your superstars on long deals. Makes transfers away less likely and keeps their value nice and high.

Well I like the sound of Zouma not fitting in with the way they like to play out of the back and looking like a liability... so while I don't want to wish anyone injury or a slow recovery from injury - it'd be nice if that's a bit too early for Rudiger's injury timetable for him to make it out onto the pitch. Because liabilities at the back against our high press are a fantastic mix for us. Rudiger's a good player though, I think he's underrated, and he should be first choice for Chelsea over both Zouma and the Danish lad that sometimes looks fantastic and sometimes looks shite.

What a twat. In terms of bigotry towards Arabs/Middle Easterners though, I've seen far worse on Merseyside. But I'm glad he's been arrested, fuck him.

I meant in the league, not another glorified friendly

When do we play Chelsea?

I'd only heard about that guy who'd been arrested because Everton, the club - not the supporters, put out a statement condemning him and stating that racism has no part of the game. So fuck that guy, but we can't really shit on Everton when they're behaving commendably. And then you couple that with the anti-racism banner for Kean... and it looks a far cry from the club that threw bananas at John Barnes while chanting "N****rpool" Fuck that racist twat though. I wonder what was said... and if it was similar to what that twat on here once said about Salah (and me)...

He’s supposed to be out all season, which is extra shite

I think his quote is actually taken pretty brutally out of context, because ya know... clickbait. I think he's actually saying City are building a history for themselves with their recent spell of success. Which is true, so it's not even remotely controversial.

I just met someone named Hampig. It's probably not nice to laugh at someone's name... but... Hampig = Ham + pig

Is that what she's doing in that picture? I honestly have no fucking idea what's going on in that picture. I thought it was a woman beating a horse with a duck - didn't notice the duck was tied upside down.

So Hong Kong is likely fucked - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-49246304 I feel for the people there. I can't help but feel there will be another incident, like what happened at Tiananmen Square in 1989, that they'll deny ever happened.

Syndicate was such a good game

Spending in England at most clubs seems down compared to other insane transfer windows. I think the reality is we're a normal football club without infinite budgets and the focus this year is on keeping the core group of players we have together, rather than what usually happens where Barca or Real Madrid come and take our best player and leave us in a state of rebuilding. We're rich, but we don't have Manchester City money. Obviously, I'd like to see us have more depth... at the same time, Klopp's shown he's willing to wait until he can get the players he actually wants... and those players generally are the players the fans are most happy with. So if that's what's going on here, then I'm alright with that as well.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/stochastic-terrorism I want the media to start throwing that fucking term around. Because that's what's going on in the US.

He said he was fighting against a Hispanic invasion, sounds like some US far right shit to me
