Inverted

From whatever Liverpool games I've seen this season, it honestly feels like Van Dijk is getting a connection from basically every corner but Liverpool are hardly ever converting it into goals.

There does seem to be a weird trend amongst footballers of "sharing" women between them. There seems to be a select group of women within each footballers network who basically are the go-to for casual sex. You would think that as an impossibly rich and physically fit young man it would be easy enough to find an age-appropriate girl on their own without having her borderline pimped-out to you by a mate.

Milner is a weird one where at moments he doesn't look particularly over the hill. He has moments where he still seems to have a reasonable bit of pace, and his touches etc look sharp, but overall I don't expect it to last. Liverpool been much more competitive than I expected. I guess it bodes well that when it's a game like this and pride is really on the line they can still get somewhat near the levels of intensity they showed last season, it's just a matter of working out how you sustain that over an entire 90 minutes and then into consecutive games.

Pretty much this. As very green solicitor I work a bit more than a lot of people I know who have nominally 9-5 jobs, but the effort-reward ratio makes it well worth it. Sometimes I log-in half an hour early to get a head start, most days I work on an hour or so, and sometimes log-in later in the evening at home to finish something that's on my mind. But mostly, I'd say I work about 45-50 hours a week on average, and I get paid more than a high school teacher, or an experienced nurse. People who actually are needed, and know what they're doing. And to emphasise, I don't work for a big, flashy prestigious firm that pays insanely well by legal-sector standards. I am very much in the middle of the field. And also to emphasise, I qualified a month ago and have basically no idea what I'm doing most of the time. You have targets to hit, sometimes there can be a week here or there which is insanely pressurised, sometimes things are tricky and make your head hurt, and if you make a mistake it can be terrifying. But mostly, if you're willing to put in a moderate amount of effort you are guaranteed a pretty comfy living. And if you are satisfied earning an above-average salary, you don't really need to devote your whole life to the job and get sucked into the office politics. But I guess that you get used to spending what comes in, or pride takes hold, and that's when people start going above and beyond to move up the ladder.

Idk, to m mind could easily play a guy like Rice as a holder and have a duo like Mount and Bellignham or Bellingham or anyone else ahead of him. As for a progressive defense, they have possibly the most creative RB in Europe and a semi-regular goalscorer in Ben Chillwell. John Stones is a proven CB in a possession system and Tomori is one of the fastest defenders out there as well as being technically solid. The only thing is, it would require a strong commitment to a progressive system and a degree of balls to play these players as opposed the usual suspects.

As of today I'm officially a solicitor. Only took the 8 years.

Any Napoli midfielder instantly improves Liverpool.

We have outplayed Madrid for 20 minutes. Whatever degree of battering happens next, I will take it.

It's certainly a kinda shit position to be in, having had a transfer window like Leicester had, but a manager like Rodgers stands very little chance of dealing with it well.

He's got some degree of ability as a coach but not nearly as much as he thinks he does, which fundamentally wrecks his decision making and makes him painfully unadaptable. Add on being a fairly weird and even repugnant personality and it's not a recipe for long term success.

I'd say I used to be but I these days I think I am a relatively good eater. I used to have a complete aversion to certain foods (all kinds of beans, peas, sweetcorn). I mean, I literally couldn't bring myself to try them, and I would find it hard to eat other things if they were on my plate. Nowadays I am over pretty much all of that (apart from with sweetcorn). I like a few types of beans/legumes (mostly paler beans like chickpeas or cannellini, etc) but not kidney beans or black beans so much, although I will eat them if I have to. Again, I can eat peas now, but don't enjoy them. I can sit in pretty much any kind of restaurant and eat almost anything on any menu, so by definition I'd say I'm not a picky eater.

A Runescape premium subscription. I remember nervously trying to explain to my mum why I needed her card for a £5 payment, and assuring her that it was totally safe online.

Genuinely never felt as vindicated about anything in my life as saying 4/5 years ago that De Gea wasn't world class. A bit depressing, but I'll take it.
