No sir. We sold crouch to Portsmouth for 11m. Spur bought him from Portsmouth

Right. Although we have sold and bought from Spurs. Ray Clemence, Robbie Keane, Graeme Souness, Ronny Rosenthal, Paul Walsh, Jamie redknapp.

Una don begin predict money wey eye no fit see now, una know sai guys like therealhulk616 dey read ba?

The rivalry I don't understand is the one between man.u and Leeds..


Be like Una rivalry with spurs dey intense pass the one with Chelsea

Man U v Leeds has to do with history of the town of Leeds not liking Mancs and since Man United were the top club of Manchester then the hate went there. Chelsea v Arsenal is not as hot as Spurs Arsenal.

crazygod:
You have a point but we got peter crouch from Southampton not Tottenham. Though he has played there before Southampton. Like I said, we 'hardly' do business with Spurs unlike Arsenal and Chelsea

How many Arsenal players have we signed aside Chamberlain? We sold crouch to Spurs. The thing is Spurs don't have the players we want so we don't go for them. How many of the top 4 sides have gone for Spurs players? Aside Kane? Or say Modric and Bale. Only 1 was bought by Arsenal.

.. I know derby matches are very tough because one is always trying to superiority over the other which breeds rivalry. Except for ours with Manchester United which goes deep than just on the pitch .. I see no reason no why this rivalries should extended to the business part of these clubs .. it just looks immature to me..

If you don't see the point, I don't think you understand the game. Why strengthen your opponent with your own player? It's like selling salah to Everton. What if he becomes a reason why we lost the league? Like Suarez was instrumental in Atletico Madrid winning the la liga. Imagine he was sold to fiercest rivals real Madrid or Espanol and he becomes the reason they won la liga? You think fans will love it or not turn against the owners? Everton vs Liverpool rivalry has been older than the north west derby. It's cause both aren't mates any more that you see it as a no match. Just wait till when Everton starts getting successful, if you won't start hating them, then the idea of Liverpool selling to Everton one of their players will look so sickening to you.

crazygod:
From History, we have never done business with those two clubs and I don't think we ever will.

We have done business with Spurs. Peter Crouch. Ray Clemence. Just that most times we don't like their players cause they don't fit big clubs most of the years, before now I mean. Check where most Spurs players go, only few play for Madrid and other big clubs. Those are the exceptional ones.

crazygod:
That of Liverpool and Everton is down to simple old rivalry. Scousers have a natural dislike for Spurs.

You are the first Liverpool fan saying this. Please, don't mistake scousers with londoners cause na them hate Spurs. I have followed Liverpool fan pages, blogs and kop tv run by scousers and James Redmond and lots of Liverpool born journalists covering the club and even Melissa Reddy, I have never heard of a hate on Spurs by Liverpool fans or it being a big game. It's just like Liverpool vs Newcastle or Arsenal. Just the one off game. Heck even LFC vs Newcastle has more history than Spurs. Spurs rivals are Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham.

Looks to me like a disaster waiting to happen..

Yea, cause mane isn't a play maker neither is Jota. I will rather play Jota as number 9. Salah at RW. Diaz behind Jota and Mane in LW or Firmino.

Silentgroper:
hate those clubs .. Everton is only our derbyz doesn't mean we can't do business.. when it not man.u..


At least Chelsea and arsenal sells player to themselves.. so what are you talking about?...

Well I wasn't exactly saying Everton and spurs, I was only citing examples..

Although I think the only place we've got rivalry with those club us on the pitch as it's not as that with man.u.

When last has Liverpool sold their player to Everton? It's just like Man United also. It's because you are in Nigeria that's why you think the merseyside derby is like any other match. Liverpool don't hate Spurs though

I wasn't trying to prove any point.
If I knew it wasn't accurate, I wouldn't have posted it.

If you weren't trying to prove a point or make meaning, why then post it?

webhead:
I felt it was true considering how shitty that movie is

So what was the point you wanted to make posting it?

AnfieldFan:
It’s 2045 and Liverpool manager Trent Alexander Arnold has held a press conference to deny claims that the club is looking to offload Divock Origi.

Lol, Origi will always be in our hearts. But I really want him to have a career that he will be proud of at the end.

AnfieldFan:
Jota can play centrally too...Elliot is a winger, If we get a midfielder in the summer, I feel Klopp will move him upfront again...

The reason is cause of Salah not cause we lack midfielders. He wanted to give him game time and experience after he built a good season in the championship. Buying a midfielder isn't a guarantee Klopp will move him. It all depends on how well he is performing. If the guy starts performing real well, Salah may leave after next season.
From the looks of it, Salah won't sign a new contract.

Silentgroper:
Heard keita wants to leave because of lack of playing time..

Very ironic, as he has been the one spending more time in the hospital than on the pitch..

Fake news. His contract is expiring.

AnfieldFan:
Naa, he's been a right winger right from his U-19 Liverpool appearances and through his Blackburn loan...But I agree with you on his creativity. Klopp will surely improve his goalscoring if he moves to the right wing..
Klopp played him in midfield because competing with Salah is impossible(and we were a bit short of midfield bodies when the season began), he's the best player in the world and he's never injured... Elliot wouldn't get game time with him in the team..But with the outgoings, I think he might get a chance there...

Bros, his conversion rate is poor. I don't want him in the right wing any time soon. Unless we switch tactics. Salah and Mane have showed us wingers too need to contribute as much as strikers. Eliot can't give you 16 goals in the EPL. Unless his game improves drastically.

AnfieldFan:
He's competition for Mane,if we get a midfielder in the summer, I think we gon see Elliot move up to Right wing..

Eliot is better in Midfield. That guy is not a prolific goal scorer. He is not clinical, but he is a playmaker.

AnfieldFan:
Yea, Milner's going by season's end...One of Keita, Mina and Ox will be moved on...
Depends on who fetches the best financially...
Meanwhile, to register Luis in the Champions league, one foreign player has to be dropped so I feel Adrian's out...

Adrian too has tried. We should give him one game as send off. Maybe FA cup.

AnfieldFan:
17 million is a lot of money..We bought him for 7.5... And what's all the fuss about Klopp not using him correctly... Klopp uses 4 3 3 which is the standard in this era...Any body that can't adapt to this setup isn't going to be a good offensive player...Takumi isn't strong enough for the PL but he presses well which Klopp loves..

We could sell him for a lot more when he is given more game time.

AnfieldFan:
Yea..Wonder what happens to Minamino..We rejected a bid from Leeds for him...Maybe he leaves in the summer...We need an addition in Midfield and I hope Gomez doesn't leave in the summer to NewCastle..
Tag the Liverpool fans you know to this thread..Let's see if we can get here active..

We don't need to sell takumi . The guy is versatile and I don't think Klopp is playing him how he fits. Besides, he isn't that bad. Look at Sancho. Diaz coming doesn't affect Minamino as the guy also plays Midfield.

VerifiedStalin:

There was no internet under Lincoln. How then could he mention the internet? But I get the irony.

VerifiedStalin:
Sauce?

Obviously WB doing DC (damage control)

BankyGee:
This is still one of my best lines from DC's Legends of Tomorrow

Lol... that show sucks but for some reason, I find it entertaining.

VerifiedStalin:
The three-hour runtime, in my opinion, aggravates the situation significantly. Imagine sitting in a theater for three hours without an intermission, watching a Batman film, and not just any Batman film, but one in which he's stylized as a full-fledged detective tracking down a psychopath. I'm not sure about you, but I reckon it'd be a fate worse than death. I might as well stay home and watch the paint dry.

Calm down, bros. People sit or stand doing tougher things than that. If the story is good, it will be worth it.

VerifiedStalin:
Box office revenue is not a metric for success. If you're not interested in pandering to a wider audience or not too hanged up on political correct shenanigans, or cushy revenue, rated R is the way to go. It opens a lot of possibilities, one of which is a creative freedom to shape the script whichever way you want. Ergo it's important to note that the unprecedented financial success of Joker as a rated R movie is an outlier, not the norm. It'd be a mistake to expect a rated R movie to make a PG-13 movie kind of money.

The orphaned child with a chip on their shoulder is an overdone trope, and unless The Batman brings something unique to the table, this flick is going to get boring really fast.

Wait till it's out. I have same views as you though. Basing from the trailers, it isn't showing us anything new or unique other films Batman films specifically haven't done. But them going for 3 hours, then it shows they have something different. Although I am skeptical but I won't judge yet.

VerifiedStalin:
Joker isn't a comic book movie, chief. It thematically touched on a very sensitive topic that is prevalent in the society but often ignored, and for this reason, it resonated with a large number of people.

Furthermore, the Joaquin Phoenix factor cannot be overstated. This is a man who has struggled with mental illness his entire life and had the courage to step up and play a character who is very similar to himself in the worst of ways.

Taking all of this into consideration, it's not surprising that Joker did so well financially; I mean, it's a very grounded journey into the murky waters of mental illness and the apathetic society at large, and frighteningly realistic in the way it portrayed Joker's gradual descent into madness.

It's also rated R, which is always a plus.

One more thing... the runtime is 2 hours, watching it doesn't feel like a chore.

Actually, it being R rated isn't a plus. R rated films aren't a guaranteed success. And, the Batman can be all you have said. I mean, it delves into the mind of an orphan, orphans actually, living in a corrupt city that took their childhood from them. It reflects society and alot of things like you are claiming. Like I said, you, we don't know the story yet. So the criticism is unfair.
I can barely sit through an episode of the batwoman series, but I can watch episodes of legend of the seeker non stop for 3 hours. Let it come out before you decide. You may not be interested in the film like I am, but it's strange to criticize it before you even see the first 30 mins of it.

Nickshrapnel:
I really hope all these other characters appearance are cameos

Substantial. I found it out on the IMDB page with Harry Lennix having a stunt double. Gal Gadot also shot scenes which she unwittingly revealed on Instagram.

Martian manhumter and Tom Curry are in The Flash.

AnfieldFan:
I doubt Verifiedstalin has an alt, no regular poster on the Movies section writes like him..

You won't know. He doesn't have to have a singular pattern. Not that I am saying he does. Just keep your mind open. I recall there was a time they thought I was you just cause of the Anfield moniker. The funny thing was, if I really wanted to mask my moniker, I would do it in a way they wouldn't expect. But I find it exhausting. Pretending to be different persons.

VerifiedStalin:
Hate to be that guy, but I don't like the way it looks. It's too noir, too bleak, too depressing... it exudes a boring vibe. I'm not looking forward to this flick at all.

WB are bad with PR and marketing.

VerifiedStalin:
Chief, I'm as open-minded as they come. It's simply that I'm a dedicated servant of history, and if history is any guide, WB will find a variety of ways to botch the film, disappointing naive fans while vindicating skeptical fans like myself.

WB will also be WB. That's a given fact but keeping an open mind means waiting for the film to come out first then you judge. Slating it off like that is just plain supervillainy lol. Don't expect much from it that's my advice. But don't put it down months before seeing it either.

VerifiedStalin:
Interstellar didn't need to be funny; it had a solid premise. It's relatable, and the theme and characters are relevant. Interstellar is a completely immersive experience.

Unless The Batman follows the MCU formula, I truly believe it will be a more complex, more expensive, darker, and far less amusing version of Knives Out.

This reminds of religious fanatics who condemn people of other faiths different to theirs to hell without even getting to know them. There are films with 1 hour run time that feel too long, there are also films with 3hrs run time that feel short.
Am not telling you to go watch it, heck I am not going to see it myself cause I don't like the character of Batman as a whole. But the point is, the movie and the characters have potential to tell an Oscar worthy story if done the right way. Quit condemning something without even giving it a chance. There's one thing to be wary cause of track record but there's another thing to have an open mindset. In life, nothing is one way. Nothing is as it seems.
