Crazy rich asians. Great film. Loved it. 8.5/10

Great posts @Bluewolf and @JOSHBRFC! Congratulations to both of you and Josh kudos on the fit Mrs

I don't mind Gotham but I'll take a Bruno Heller show with a grain of salt. I used to watch the mentalist due to the very well set up long running hunt for the genius serial killer Red John.... the ending for that was one of the weakest and most disappointing conclusions to a show i can remember. Bruno clearly had no idea what he was doing with that plot line beyond continually reengineering a way to strong people on for a few more episodes...

I found season 4 a little rocky but it picks up again from 5. Agreed that i wish i knew more similar shows to watch with the mrs. Entourage maybe similar in a way but a bit too overtly chauvinistic.

What was your final verdict mate? I'm always on the lookout for funny shows! Ideally if i can find something that makes me laugh more than Rick & Morty I'll be on a great wicket!

Starting to watch silicon valley season 1. Seems pretty funny. Bit like a cruiser version of the IT Crowd...

That's a bit generous. MI is a bit more far fetched than bond imo. 7.5/10

I'd be saying to him don't take unnecessary risks early on in your time here. The press will jump on and undermine your confidence... just be solid. Let the memory of mignolet fade and only then start doing unnecessarily risky shiz.

I thought he had a couple of nervy moments... He needs to be careful imo because with his price tag any fuckups will be high profile.

nice goal but I'm surprised we still haven't moved on Moreno.

He said of close he goes to the birth but that was last week and he should be back by now... Klopp might not be so positive if the birth was last week...

I wouldn't call this a dig... "We have exchanged messages and I've seen a picture," said Klopp. "A little Clyney! The baby will keep him busy for a few days and then he will start training again, all good. "There are more important things in life than football and babies are definitely one of them. 300x250 - X1032355 – Moma – 06-2018 300x250 - X1032355 – Moma – 06-2018

Drunk history. My wife likes it but for me a bit meh. The way the stories are told is amusing i just don't like the cuts to the two people drinking and acting drunk and dont find it funny.

"That’s the problem these days,” said Klopp. “Whatever bulls**t you say, nobody will forget it. On the other side, it is still kind of true. I couldn’t imagine the world would change like that from two-and-a-half years ago. “One hundred million was a crazy amount of money. Since then the world has changed completely and we have signed the most-expensive goalkeeper and all that stuff. “We don’t care what the world around us is thinking, like Man United didn’t care about what I said. It’s only an opinion in that moment. “Did I change my opinion? Yes. That’s true. But it’s better to change your opinion than never have one. “Whatever people say about that and bring it up again and again, I have had worse days in my life and worse things. I am fine with that. We have the players we wanted. I am fine with that.”

Sadly Wenger never changed his opinion on value from when £4m was a huge transfer fee which may be why he switched from signing Bergkamps to Sanogos...

Klopp himself has responded to address liquidators concerns of hypocrisy... https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44913678 Spoiler: He's not overly concerned.

I always rated coutinho as really bloody good but never next level good. His passes were at times incredible but his determination to keep dribbling around until he can get a shot off is tedious to watch. He must shoot more than any other midfielder and have a low percentage hit rate because I'm so used to seeing him sky his shots. And did i mention his corners tendency to hit the first man? He was a solid free kick taker though and I'm not sure we've replaced that yet...

The other thing that gets me is alternating between quoting the fees in pounds, euro and dollars just to make it all the more confusing.

there must be a point we stop considering Chelsea to be that based on the way they've operated since the crimea sanctions froze romans money... they've not spent much at all lately and would surely be in danger of running at a surplus.

Think they're just pointing out what they see as hypocrisy mate. That's their prerogative.

My only issue with your comment there is money made from transfers generally means players of good quality leaving. Which is at a significant disadvantage in terms of what a manager is trying to do in building up a squad. This makes 120m from coutinho to be reinvested different to 120m bestowed from your Arab overlords or from extra jersey sales in korea... We still miss coutinho ffs. but it all comes to the same at the end of the day which is a fair point.

I don't recall making arguments on net spend. Maybe for the purpose of keeping expectations low the past couple years? I'm not sure klopp ever said he would be arsene wenger in the transfer window though. I may be wrong but I'd guess he'd comment that he's different in that he's not signing players to sell jerseys or build a brand. Rather to build a team. My previous post yesterday explained why i see a difference to united for example. I don't actually care who united sign but I'm not surprised the approach they had for those years (which was a bit like perez at madrid) wasn't that successful on the pitch. City though generally sign well. Our difference to them is we probably cant afford to outbid them for a player both clubs want. Nor spend this year's level of money 3 years in a row as they have done.

I'm not sure why net spend is an issue. Nobody ever wanted Klopp to break even on transfers. We just wanted him to improve the squad. Amazingly he's done that to this point with a balanced spend and thus has ample funds available now to push on further... great! However the sale coutinho in January balanced that year after the fact. Bottom line is klopps done what's necessary and built a good squad doing it.

Eh? Who

I may be biased but i feel there's a major difference between the kind of transfer activity i scoffed at United for and what Liverpool have done since then. It was Uniteds seeming desperation to sign the most famous player available in the transfer market rather than signing the player that addressed their area of greatest need. It was Juan Mata, then falcao and angel di maria, then schweignstager and valdes, then pogba and ibrahimovic. In amongst numerous pursuits of Ramos and Bale amongst others. Other players were signed too and luke shaw and schneiderlin actually made a lot of sense. But overall it mostly didn't seem based around improving the squad rather about trying to sell jerseys, get in the papers or just to prove to the world you were still a big club. Playing Rooney as a starter for 3 or 4 years than his form warranted. I actually feel proud of the signings we've made in the past few years as they've nearly all been clearly linked to weak areas and not celebrity names driven by commercial aspects. And (vvd excepted) the business has often been done quickly and efficiently, not via drawn out sagas that keep you in the papers for weeks. *takes off rose tinted glasses*
