I'm too poor to be a proper fan. :'(

**** the student life.

Meh. Study and stay debt free. That's where football leads yer. Into debt haha.

Honestly not sure if I'll see another home league game this year. Including the Derby. Going down Bournemouth the Sunday after the memorial. And aiming for the last game at West Brom. But with the Europa semi being so soon a turnaround after the quarter, then hopefully the Basle final; something is having to give.

So the (hopefully) two home Europeans left might well be my lot for Anfield this season.

Scouse, my mate is convinced he saw that the Dortmund Home leg are on sale tomorrow. But when I checked I'm sure it said Thursday. Am I wrong or is he a **** head?

Thursday mate. Tomorrows the shareholders/ priority rights bunkum.
 
Mate by the time I finish Uni I'll be in £60,000 debt. No kidding..

So glad I got in in the last year of the 3k fees, 2 degrees and I will only be 20k in thank ****. Typical tory rhetoric always keep the serfs on the turf feel for you man.

You lucky ******... Then again it could be worse, atleast we dont have to pay American tution fees.
 
Yeah I'll probably never pay it off haha

Ha me either, 5 more years I am going to Oz, will get paid so much more in my profession and eventual specialisation. Will miss my football but I am an NRL freak and can always get up at 3am for matches haha

We need the '80's back! Dirt cheap train travel with vouchers off the back of cereal and washing powder packets and a few quid to get in! (That's if you even bothered paying as it was SO easy to jib paying the train/ ferries and bunk the turny's.).

That'd sort yer! Of course every away game EVERYWHERE was an exercise in survival and taking your own life in your hands so maybe it wasn't that good looking back. Lol.

Going to Oz gets rid of the debt doesn't it? Sounds like a plan haha

I wish I was here to be a LFC fan in the 80s mate. I wish.

Haven't been to an away game since Bolton last year when Cout scored that dream goal (unless you count Wembley as away!)

They're better cos you can go mental and celebrate with the fella next to you. Don't get that much at home unless you're in the kop.

If there's one thing every Red should of experienced, it's a standing Kop. Particularly a standing Derby/ Utd game or a European night. That was something else. On the big nights it was just a heart thumping, lung busting roller coaster of adrenalin. The swaying and singing was something else. Where you'd get home and wonder where all the bruises had come from but not be arsed because you were still on such a high from the part you'd played in another memorable victory. With a noise and vibrancy that made Anfield one of the most recognisable grounds in Europe and had most of the foreign ultras modelling themselves and their displays on what they seen the Kop the telly. Have a great little book by Napoli fans that literally is a homage to the Kop and our crowd and how we completely influenced them to do the choreographed stuff they do out there watching the European games the telly with all the flags and swaying and songs. Experiences that make the hairs the back yer neck stand on end just remembering them.

Always a touchy subject with us, but I'd go back to standing in a heartbeat. Never once felt unsafe the Kop. Well, apart from the day two lads bunked in by coming over the top the wall the front and landed on top of me having a burst the outside bogs the bottom like but that doesn't count lol.

GF and I have 90k between the two of us, it's fine. You just ignore it and they vaguely bill you once you go past a certain wage. For a few years, I was actually losing money paying into it, as I paid in less than the interest every year :D

What field are you in to get paid more in Oz?

Anything medical for a start.
 
Relax guys. You could be Polish and have guaranteed free higher education, at country's best schools. Than you'd spend 5 years getting your degree, move to UK and make a living selling donuts.

Meditate on that.
 
A good mix of youth players and senior players as back up would be ideal. However disagree completely with your last point, you will never ever ever ever know if a youth player is good enough if they dont get a chance. Reason why England are lagging behind with this mentality.

When you watch a player regularly, week in week out on the training pitch it gives you a very good idea if a player is good enough or has something about him

They earn the chance through this - they don't just get given the chance to shine, it comes through the hard work that none of us will see.

However, in Klopp I do think we have a manager that if those players are performing then they will be given that chance. But we need to build a good first team squad before going all or nothing with youngsters, knowing the majority will never make it

Sorry had to do a handover when I was about to reply

As Subtle alluded to it is medical, I am training to be a Learning Disability Nurse, so out there it is well paid. But then I have a psychology degree too so there is all kinds of unique specialisations to get into. Some of which are freelance then you are talking silly money. But yeah long way to go and various qualifications to attain in 5 years.
 
Just been having a discussion on 'keepers.

Apparently, aside from watching Horn at Cologne, we're getting regulars at Barca's Champions League games. Presumably for Ter Stegan. (Honestly never seen him in a full game but understand he's **** hot.). But the crux of the convo was my mate would rather us pay £7 mill. for Horn than 20 to Barca. Whereas my view has always been you can NEVER pay too much for a top quality 'keeper you're gonna' have for a decade or so. So if Ter Stegan's the man, pay out in a heartbeat. Never understood the reticence to pay for, outside of a consistent goalscorer, the single most important position on any team.

So out of interest which way do you fall on Mingler's replacement? (With the signs pointing more and more that he's done and the contract was just a financial move.)

From what i've seen and read on Timo Horn it is that his biggest weakness is his command of the area and collecting crosses... If that's in any way true its a swerve immediately. Mignolet II.

Ter Stegan is the man for me, providing we can get him.
