That is one scary looking South African bowling attack.

I also agree with this. Whenever there's criticism directed to him a lot of it revolves around what he does (or doesn't) do on the pitch and religion is never mentioned. A lot of it revolves around his attitude when playing and not living up to the hype surrounding him. Nothing to do with religion when that's discussed.

As if a guy who slept with his brother's wife is some kind of moral arbiter to talk a player's private life or choices.

Got to halfway through season 2 so far. Couple of boring episodes but then it seems to rescue itself in the next. Finding out a lot about the Royal family and how it coped with matters internally and externally which I didn't know before. Like I had no idea what Princess Margaret was like with her behaviour and choices in life and how she was denied her marriage. And also how the Queen discusses things with the PM... And that makes me even less keen if Boris if she still has to deal with it in the same way

Has anyone watched Unbelievable?

Agree. I think the armpit decisions so far have been ridiculous.

Why should it only be feet though? You can score with other parts of your body and may score with them - so why allow that but not feet?

Have started watching The Crown as the missus was in to it. Didn't think I'd enjoy it and now I'm gripped to it as much as she is. Blitzing through first season already.

This needs to change. Would clear up several decisions I think. Or at least allow less confusion to be had when a decision is made.

Not surprising given how good the defence is...? Van Dijk is quality. TAA & Robertson are very good. I know there's CB injury problems but your squad has been managed well by Klopp. It's perhaps an area you need improvement in in terms of depth but I wouldn't say surprising at all. Especially given how much you dominate games. Agree with @Dr. Gonzo it's impressive. Not to be biased but I'd say it's more surprising we've only conceded 18 in 19 given the reputation Rodgers had from his time in Liverpool. Obviously a big factor in that is Soyuncu's presence over Maguire. Given us much more assurance and calmness & composure in the back line. Maguire (and his lack of pace) was a bit of a liability.

are we going on a summer holiday?

WHat a game in Adelaide Western Sydney were winning 3-1 in to stoppage time. Adelaide get a penalty in the 93rd minute through VAR overturning ref decision and score it to make it 3-2. Adelaide then get another penalty in the 97th minute after ref missed a handball (debatable) and he goes to the screen, overturns his decision and gives it. Georgevski (WSW) decides to walk off and then Adelaide miss the penalty anyway.

I started it but lost interest after a few episodes. However I think that may have been down to other programmes coming to the fore and being more interested in them. Never really got back in to it again though. I do like Joel Kinnaman as an actor though since seeing him in The Killing and House of Cards.

Had a great birthday and Christmas. Absolutely stuffed from all the food and drink. Glad I'm driving to the game so I can't drink any more

Merry Christmas everyone. This tickled me

Just started watching Don't Fuck With Cats on Netflix. Tis fucked up.

And the lookalike of the year goes to...

What's Alan Pardew's Dutch accent like?

Liking this and the fact fans remain close to the pitch.

Soyuncu approves of this post.

When they play in it next year we'll see if they celebrate it or not and add it to the list if they win

Not seeing this guy on your list @Teso dos Bichos mate?
