Have you seen pictures of them walking into court? If looks could kill, he’d be mincemeat. I have to assume she’s only hanging around until her own legal team can finish their assessment of his assets and file the domestic support request (or whatever it is called in British law).

All hail Vigo the Carpathian!!!

It took me a long time to realize that a bunch of the dives in soccer are sort of an agreed upon water break.

Foreign player dives: “cheating foreigners have ruined our game”

*praying your reply doesn’t mention Newcastle*

Absolutely — did you see what Bayern’s president said in the wake of the Liverpool walkout and BVB’s ticket hike?

Not a problem! (Or “No worries!”, as pretentious Americans love to chirp.)

Yeah, i’ll go there in the interests of debate.

I’m an American fan who was thrilled when H&G vanished in favor of FSG, but in following the club on social media it seems like the most vocal fans in England think that any American involvement needs to end. Do the “real” fans really think that there is oil money waiting in the wings for LFC?

Honestly, just thanks for using “bell-end” in a comment. I don’t see it near frequently enough, and it always makes my day whenever I see or hear it being used.

::begins googling Jeremy Clarkson videos::

There are a dozen excellent books on English football and youtbe is filled with all sorts of videos about teams, the league, its history and the evolution of the sport.

I believe that flop has been dubbed, “The Paella”, because it is universally panned.

“Most dives are fine.”

Exactly this. Atmosphere in football is a completely different entity than what American professional sports goers would have you believe. Most of these stadiums are small-ish. They’re close to the pitch. And they make a ton of fucking noise. Look at any team in the Bundesliga, King Power Stadium, the Kop, Celtic,…

Hell with sports that cheap I'll make those concessions

The man’s a gob-shite!

For the folks saying “Don’t go if you don’t like it,” this is what these types of protests accomplish. And Liverpool has set an interesting precedent for fans of other clubs.

That’s a pretty amazing climb down.

You’d have to think most other big clubs would just stonewall.

Glad to see the Pawnee City Council Chambers back in use.
