Agreed, althought I doubt he's been been shirty with Jurgen specifically, but I reckon his care-free attitude is at odds with what Klopp is currently trying to instill into his squad.

Yeah he's injured at the moment, imagine he's probably just been messing about and distracting the squad.

Lyon announce they've turned down 35m bid for Lacazette from Arsenal

Maybe Klopp could have asked him to rein it in a bit but stick around as I think he has the kind of personality that is generally good for team morale. He seems passionate about the club and despite his occasional Bambi on Ice impressions, I've really warmed to him. Think he and Lovren have built a good relationship and hopefully Matip slots in nicely too.

Clubs will be allowed to use a fourth substitute during extra time in the latter stages of this season's FA Cup, the Football Association has confirmed.

by GSC Wed 27 Jul 2016, 11:18 am

Now they just need to scrap replays.

by **Crimey** Wed 27 Jul 2016, 12:00 pm

Think that's a good rule and should be implementing everywhere. Playing an extra half an hour, but not allowing an extra sub seems a bit silly. It'll help with the fitness of players whilst also adding an interesting tactical element.

by Hammersmith harrier Wed 27 Jul 2016, 12:02 pm

I think it will ultimately be used primarily for specialist penalty takers.

The Tesco Stadium Laugh

by Guest Thu 28 Jul 2016, 8:58 am

The Lidl Stadium?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu 28 Jul 2016, 12:07 pm

Sports Direct Whistle

Happy with it, really. It was gonna be something like the Mahindra stadium, but its all about money for me so I don't care what company sponsors it. Most of it goes to the government anyway. Not like I'm gonna be sitting there saying "wanna go to the Tesco?" In fact, I'd imagine it will be renamed so many times over the years that it won't matter at all.

by MIG Thu 28 Jul 2016, 12:29 pm

You will literally defend anything West Ham related no matter how ridiculous won't you. Laugh

Not really, I'm currently extremely p***ed off about the club's treatment of legend Tony Carr, but no one has asked me about that!

I just don't care about the name. Mahindra still have exclusive rights for about 3 more days, Heineken are likely to re-enter bidding too. Its gonna be a corporate bowl, I very much doubt i'd like the name unless it was the Bobby Moore Fund stadium, and i'd rather they spent the apparent £6m a year on something better, especially as £5m goes to the Conservatives.

How DO you feel about the treatment of Tony Carr.....bearing in mind he got seven times the payout the BHS employees are getting

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu 28 Jul 2016, 12:58 pm

The money is no issue to me or to him. He's made good money, which the club has happily told everyone about in a very classy and dignified way...

There's a total lack of respect and the fact that they are letting that b**** Brady bring her friends into positions of power. The club have chucked away a man who has been there for 50 years, made the club millions, been chewed up and spat out, and then they've tried to drag his name through the mud afterwards.

There's some decency in our owners, but they can also be classless pr***s. Lady Brady being one of my least favourite people in the world.

I'm just amazed no-one's tried to contact a certain Steve Harris.

The Iron Maiden Arena has a certain ring to it. Wink

Meanwhile, on an entirely different subject, I'm a little puzzled as to why we've gone and signed Brad Guzan from Villa, when we only signed Valdes from Man Utd only a few weeks ago. Does this mean we're letting both Mejias and Konstantopoulos go?

After what seems like forever of insisting he's best as a centre forward, Theo Walcott has now come out and said his best position is as a right winger and he's looking forward to playing back there.

Maybe his plan is to spend his entire career claiming he's playing in the wrong position so that he always has an excuse.

I Imagine at this point he's just hoping he's not going to be replaced and sat on the bench Laugh

Leicester have just pulled it back to 3-2 and are looking really good.

Musa's got two as well, could be a good signing.

by Guest Wed 03 Aug 2016, 9:06 pm

Always liked Musa, left foot & right foot finishes tonight & with that pace, it suits Leicester perfectly.

So it appears the Belgian FA are worse at appointing managers than the English one!

I, for one, am deeply hurt! Sad

We spent 11 years in the PL from 1998 to 2009. Our chairman has seen us go through a number of financial crises and now that we are on relatively a stable footing, he won't risk that kind of thing again. Aitor Karanka's signings have also, by and large, had a positive impact.

While I agree signing 2 keepers does seem odd, he must have a plan for them, otherwise I doubt they'd have signed. I'm guessing this means we are letting both Konstantopoulos and Mejias go. Will be sad to see Dimi go, if that's the case.

by Breadvan Sat 06 Aug 2016, 11:51 am

Andre Ayew set to join West ham for Swansea for 20 mil. Good player for you Dolphin but Swans won't officially release him until a replacement bought in. Hopefully Baston from Athletico. Him and Llorente up front... chin

Btw..Is there another fantasy prem league this season?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 06 Aug 2016, 12:42 pm

Aye, waiting on your lot to make some moves, but I dont think our lot are in any rush to spend money the tight mugs

by Guest Sat 06 Aug 2016, 5:22 pm

Sturridge has broken down again. Hip this time.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 06 Aug 2016, 5:24 pm

Was about to back him e/w top scorer. Might not

by GSC Sat 06 Aug 2016, 5:30 pm

Its ok Freek, they'll give him another mini preseason when he comes back

by Guest Sat 06 Aug 2016, 5:32 pm

And a new contract. If there was a God this wouldn't keep happening, would it Danny boy?

by **Crimey** Sat 06 Aug 2016, 5:41 pm

Supposedly it's simply precautionary rather than an actual proper injury. Hopefully that means he'll still be training.

Assuming this is the Barca game you're referencing? Good performance, wouldn't be surprised to see a few more of these throughout the season against the bigger sides. It's turning over the smaller sides who are happy to sit back that Liverpool have had a problem with since Benitez.
