Make Klopp play in goal and keep the match on.
We do actually have one goalkeeper that doesn't have the 'rona by all accounts...
Abramovich has a gun to his headQuote:

I’ll admit I enjoyed that more than I should have.
We’re sending AMN off to Jose so I’m hoping for a return to 2014 when Arsenal were 4th with Jacky Wilshere running tings.
A side in League One (I think it was Lincoln) only had one 'senior' goalkeeper on their books last season (their second choice keeper was a youngish lad with only a few appearances). The senior keeper got injured a few days before playing us in the playoffs and they were allowed to bring in a really highly rated Championship goalkeeper from Stoke. It was also the third time he'd played against us that season, for three different sides.Quote:

Still fresh.Quote:

Liverpool can have Akos Onodi on emergency loan if they like. Game should absolutely be played.
What do you mean by the other way?Quote:

This is what Hassenhuttl wants as he thinks youngsters are more likely to buy into his system and philosophy. I think they like the idea that the squad is constantly getting 2-4 out each summer and keeping things fresh.
Unwilling to take a step down in terms of quality, whatever bar he deems beneath him I don't know.Quote:

There aren't many London clubs in the sweet spot. Fulham and Palace are probably a bit too good to want him, while no one else (QPR/Millwall) would be able to pay his no doubt inflated wage demands.
Is his problem that being so brittle he really can't drop down the leagues as he'll just get battered/insta-injured anywhere south of elite level?
Seeing as we're probably going to be paying the youth team can we borrow Gerrard back, assuming he's out of covid isolation?Quote:

Wilshere should have ridden the gravy train to China/Saudi etc.
Awesome, now we have an away game 3 days before the North London Derby because Liverpool went round licking doorknobs.
Also we’ve been charged for bringing the game into disrepute. Have ordered my Tin foil hat off Amazon Prime.
The "I slipped because the ground is in such a bad condition" defense is what does it for me.Quote:

The least surprising decision ever.
:harold:
What previous decisions? Newcastle were calling games off because they wanted an extra day in the sauna and they wanted Mbappe to appear in more games. Stfu and drink it in, we'll field our reserves when it does go ahead regardless.
They'd have been happier with the justice ammo from it going ahead.
That’s the league. Teams had to forfeit earlier in the year. Aston Villa had to play a youth team last year in the FA Cup against Liverpool due to covid.Quote:

Had this been 1 leg it probably would have been forfeit, but, as I said, too much TV gravy train to bin 2 matches. Anyone who thought the same rules would apply to a 3rd round tie for who gives a fuck athletic are out of their mind. Seems to be mostly Arsenal fans greeting about having to face Liverpool's U23 side rather than the under 12s (obviously having grown accustomed to such opposition against Leeds).
Liv v Arse postponed.
Sensible.
Breaking news.
Fuck off.
The youth teams game has also been cancelled as there's COVID there too, which might be why they weren't told to suck it up and play the kids.
Liverpool have appointed Jurgen Klopp
What for? Brendan just needs more time to get Benteke scoring.Quote:

Spurs. Surely enough is enough at this point. It's a club that just should not exist.
2-0 Tangana so far :lol:
He's got to have money on Chelsea.
Kepa's laid the blues as always, but the power of Spurs is unstoppable.
Home and away cup ties are so good. Much better than the FA Cup semifinals being held at Wembley.
