A mate just texted me saying Liverpool are on the verge of qualifying for Europe next season courtesy Fair Play. Unbelievable!

 

However, it might not be a bad thing as they could be hit by the European hangover in the league.

Hate them both, I hate Liverpool more though because they're a national club that in your face all of the time. You hardly notice Everton but a more deluded support than them is difficult to find, with their mediocre fanbase, and poor income. Biggest overachievers in European football Everton for me.

 

The Everton lad at work came over after the derby and commiserated with me that "sometimes Everton lose" their derby too, just have to suck it up.

 

:lol:

 

Fuck off! If you're gonna make the comparison you're Sunderland, we're Liverpool. The feeling of winning/losing for the dominant force is totally different to that for the inferior neighbour.

Interesting that Suarez has accepted the 10 match ban and reiterated his apology whilst Rodgers is spouting claptrap about the punishment.

 

Sign that he's off in the summer perhaps. Big player for them to replace - he's scored for fun this season and regardless of the match bans it'll be hard to replace a player of that calibre.

 

Hopefully they'll stick with Sturridge and then sign another two Borinis.

I find it amusing how when you read the comments at the bottom of any of the Sky reports on this that there's oodles of Liverpool fans that seem more bothered with bringing Man Utd in to it somehow - they're not bitter, or in anyway obsessed... honest.

Yeah those comments are cringeworthy, yet worrying, considering their volume, and the amount of 'likes' they get.

Policy of buying up houses around the stadium and leaving them empty has driven the local area into dreadful decline. In the blighted streets around Liverpool's Anfield stadium, residents are packing up and leaving their family homes, so the football club can have them demolished and expand their Main Stand.

Fuck me.

LFC, the community club eh?

 

The fans will probably give up their homes for free now that the anti-scousedia has picked up on this.

Tbh, its been common knowlegde for ages that the club & council had been in cahoots on this. all it needs is one little journo though..

 

I asked pacinofan about it on here ages ago and he readily agreed its a disgrace.

They should just be open about it and pay premium prices. After all I'd imagine the houses would cost no more than a couple of weeks worth of their top earners wages.

If only Newcastle had been able to buy up the listed buildings behind the East stand. I'd have said "fuck the community!"

victorian two up two downs a la Coronation Street....most people would be pleased to get out. I think its the way the club and the council have conspired over the years that really pisses people off though. Theres an area called Kensington on the main road in to the city centre thats exactly the same...the policy has spread miles away from the Anfield area.

Luiz Díaz Launches Legal Action Against Liverpool in Shock Wage Dispute

"Luiz Díaz has launched legal proceedings against Liverpool Football Club in a sensational case that alleges the Colombian winger was paid below the legal minimum wage, in what legal experts are already describing as one of the most extraordinary employment disputes in Premier League history."

"The 28-year-old, who joined Liverpool from FC Porto in January 2022 in a deal worth up to £50 million, claims he was “misclassified” under his employment terms and has been underpaid for substantial periods during his time at Anfield."

"In court filings lodged with the Employment Tribunal Service this week, Díaz’s legal team argue that the player was compensated at a rate “far beneath statutory thresholds” due to a series of administrative errors and “non-standard contractual arrangements” that may contravene UK employment law. It is alleged that, for a portion of his initial 18 months at the club, Díaz was paid less than £10 per hour—well below the current national minimum wage of £11.44 for workers over the age of 23."

"Liverpool have vehemently denied any wrongdoing, calling the claim “entirely without merit” and state that Díaz has at all times been paid in "full compliance with UK labour regulations and in accordance with his contract". Nevertheless, sources close to the player insist Díaz became aware of irregularities only after a recent audit by his new management firm revealed “systematic underpayment”."

"While Liverpool are understood to be open to resolving the issue behind closed doors, club officials remain “deeply frustrated” that the matter has been brought into the public domain amid sensitive transfer negotiations elsewhere in the squad. Privately, figures at Anfield have questioned whether the legal manoeuvre may be part of a broader strategy to engineer a move away from the club, particularly given interest from Barcelona and Bayern Munich in recent months."
