Boo. Is that what's been happening at the Skip lately? Feel like the last couple of games have had lines across the field.
Number 1- its rugby league. "League" for short. And league won't rip up the field as much as a rugby match, because there's less scrums, no ruck and mauls and the players are generally more skillful. A much better game to watch. Rugby union is known as "rugby" and is a totally different sport. And they actually had the rugby league 2016 Four Nations Final at Anfield, which Australia won. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_League_Four_Nations_Final
I've really liked Adam. When he was on it was great to watch him move. (Notice the past tense there) But, he's never been a natural goal scorer. He hits the keeper or defender or just plain misses.
the european super league raises its head again .... https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...lsea-manchester-city-united-arsenal-liverpool Five English clubs are among 11 so-called “founding members” in a proposal for a European Super League to start in 2021, according to documents released by Der Spiegel on Friday. The German magazine – as part of the latest Football Leaks revelations – claims Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City are among the clubs who have been in negotiations about a new competition to replace the Champions League in three years’ time. A draft of a “binding term sheet” sent on 22 October 2018 by the firm Key Capital Partners to Real Madrid’s president, Florentino Pérez, appears to show the English clubs would be joined by Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Milan as founding members with a further five clubs – Atlético Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Marseille, Internazionale and Roma – appearing as “initial guests”. According to Der Spiegel, the 11 founding teams could not be relegated and would be part of the league for the first 20 years. The date by which the 16 clubs are to sign the “binding term sheet” is listed as November 2018.

Liverpool have nabbed Manchester City’s head physio Lee Nobes, presumably in the hope that City hamstrings will start twanging left, right and centre when he does one to Anfield.
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/nov/12/daniel-sturridge-betting?CMP=twt_gu Sturridge charge by FA for violating betting rules in January... He claims he never bet on football, but the suggestion (reading between the lines of the article) is perhaps someone close to him did based on info from Sturridge. I wonder if it was related to his move or perhaps Coutinho's move? 99% of FA charges are found to be proven, so probable he'll get some punishment.
Related to his move apparently. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/spo...-liverpool-striker-daniel-sturridges-15407939
Sturridge charged by FA for violating betting rules in January. --- I wonder whether that has anything to do with not being in the lineup...
I didn;t click on that because if it is what I think it is, I really don;t want to see it again. God - that was brutal .... And on the subject of brutal - has anything further occurred within UEFA regarding this utter b@stard..?? https://streamable.com/xsfsl Bloody Animal.... 10 game ban to teach abadly needed lesson
