The pool are def the most entertaining team in the prem league as in you are guaranteed entertainment at both ends
Cmon yurgan how much more evidence do you need ????? Smell the coffee ! Thanks Simon see you later !
Buy defenders of adequate quality please
@Killian Phair: defence has improved but still need a CB
More BS and a spaz comment from Klopp. If you keep playing idiot keeper week in week out, then you deserved to be sacked. They had the game in the bag if their “fab4″ were any good but the bottled it again. THIS IS TYPICAL LIVERPOOL BUT THE BLINKERED DON’T SEE IT. Not seeing Brillo Brillo tonight?????? One inept twit called me a ratard!!!!! Whats that? I’m the happy one. I wish you all Happy Holidays! Love this.
@Whatshisname: u drew at home to a team you don’t rate… why are you happy?
@Calling Your Bullshi: U drew at home?? Was he playing??
@Whatshisname: I’m sure there is more than one count of irony in your post just there.
@Whatshisname: the blinkered? You need to update your malware.
@Whatshisname: be happy your team didn’t lose ! Wink wink
@Whatshisname: yup your a ratard. Have a lovely Christmas
@Whatshisname: You say you support Arsenal but here you are only concerned about Liverpool. Why the obsession? Is it jealousy? Thoughts?
Dropping 2 points will live long.. the battle for 4th come May between these two clubs
@Ich bin brendan: man city Chelsea Spurs then Arsenal/pool?
@Graham: united also ? And that’s it I’m afraid . It’s so poor why bother ? They are strangling the game , money , refs , coaches , formations , overhype , no contact etc . Anyway …… happy Christmas , and new year ,
