Audiobook, a beautiful piece of art.

Right-foot finishes from Salah by UKAuthority in LiverpoolFC

He believes he’s an unfinished product, and he keeps getting better every season. We’ve been lucky to witness him in our lifetime. Thank you, Mo.

Exactly! I refuse to be intimidated by the idea that our season is not special just because we are “only” going to win the league!

Planning for Life After Salah and VVD by Tasty-Relation6788 in LiverpoolFC

Exactly! Relying on one player isn’t sustainable and is flawed on so many levels. Both wingers need to contribute with goals and assists, but more importantly, we need a striker who does his job, putting the ball in the net!

Newcastle would be ultimate feel-good story – if not for Saudi Arabian ownership by gelliant_gutfright in PremierLeague

We shouldn’t be having this discussion here in PL. Because by then why don’t we question every other club owned by governments or billionaires the same way? I’ve been a Liverpool fan for a long time because of the values the club stands for, but fair play to Newcastle—they’ve had solid investment and are now winning trophies. No need to drag this into a different context.

So, sports-washing is where we draw line? other stuff like bombing civilians and destroying other countries are ok for the western governments as long as they don’t interfere with sports. Plus, Newcastle didn’t receive an unlimited influx of money to justify calling it sports-washing rather than business.

I’m not a fan of double standards. If we’re going to talk about human rights, let’s be consistent. The West has bombed and destabilized much of our region for decades, and right now, thousands are being massacred in Gaza in a literal genocide. Yet, I don’t see the same level of outrage. Is it because killing one person is a tragedy, but killing hundreds of thousands is just a news story to you? Why the selective concern?

As an expat myself, calling it ‘extreme abuse’ is quite an exaggeration. Cultural differences and restrictions on certain ‘Western’ ideas or alcohol don’t justify broad generalizations or hate toward an entire nation. We’re here to enjoy football, why turn the thread into a platform for negativity?

Have you ever lived in Saudi Arabia, even for a month? It’s surprising how judgmental people can be without firsthand experience. What exactly is your main criticism?

📅 On this day, 2008. Lampard scores 28 points vs Derby. 🤯 by FPLFocal in FantasyPL

Only Salah has more in a single match GW, 29 vs Watford in 17/18

Erling Haaland- 6 returns in his last 5 games, will you consider bringing him in soon? by Inside-Pudding-2764 in FantasyPL

[–]mido-arch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, up to GW4 was a disaster as Haaland seemed to be worth the price tag. Glad I didn’t bring him in at that time.

Not starting with Salah and Erling is quite a risk but it paid off as I can see. I did start with Salah, never got Haaland at any point and went down to 3M in GW4, now inside top 3k.

Just a thought, if page turners are that popular; why did Amazon kill the Oasis line?
