Let's not go overboard Dan. I do find it curious that you're sticking to the British shores though...

We've also made enquiries for Martin, Soldado and Kagawa.


So, shut up..

Good. Haven't heard any rumours about them myself, so I didn't know.

I'd love to have Soldado.

Wouldn't we all.

Hoilett is for sale, that probably has something to do with it

Hoilett looked pretty good early on in the season but he seems to have sort of.. faded a little. He's probably a good talent though.

Can you blame him?

Dan man, how can you completely dismiss the word of the Daily Mirror and then take some randomer's tweet as gospel?!

Because the tweet I took as 'gospel' is a worker for the BBC. I'd trust the BBC over the Mirror any day.

Was sat next to the 3 fans that were lead out. They were swearing and drunk. No racist remarks.


Case dismissed.

Hmmm.

Good point. Probably not easy to play for that team. Should do well for you.

I'm saying he is a good signing...

Hmmm.

I'm talking about the fact that a BBC reporter confirmed there were no arrests, while the Mirror was reporting there were. I'd take the words of a fan at the ground over David Maddock anyday.

I know, but I have been watching the premier league this season, you know that right?

I like reading you Liverpool fans talking about how Suarez loves the club. It makes me laugh. As Tony Evans said, a year ago you'd have gone to war for Fernando Torres, a month later he was a ladyboy.

I was talking about George Gardner though. Using the phrase 'case dismissed' suggests you took it as gospel. I don't know how you can take the word of a random fan over a respected sports journalist

It's already been established that the arrests and people who were led out of the ground were not the ones involved in the supposed racist chanting so I don't see what you're on about.

David Maddock is not a respected journalist. He's been banned from Anfield if that helps you understand the shite he writes.

And it has everything to do with what I said. The Mirror reported that there had been arrests for racist abuse as soon as they could. Everything I posted last night proved otherwise.

The Adeyemi incident is what you get when you summon the full forces of tribalism

There is no pleasure in saying this, but Liverpool have begun to reap a little of what they have sown.



When you defend racist language, when you enter into angry denial and summon the full forces of tribalism, this is what you get.

It was only a couple of morons who abused Tom Adeyemi - allegedly using racist language, according to a complaint from the player himself - at Anfield. A couple of fools among a crowd of more than 44,000.

But the aggression with which Liverpool defended Luis Suarez over the last few weeks spread a paranoia and an anger among their fans that always threatened to lead to something like this.

Maybe now the Liverpool board will realise that their stance on Suarez has empowered people like whoever screamed vile insults at Adeyemi.

Maybe now they will realise it has empowered other so-called Liverpool fans to send messages to a blameless FA executive, saying they hoped his wife is raped.

Maybe now they will realise it has empowered people to shower black footballers and ex-footballers such as Stan Collymore with the most disgusting racist abuse on Twitter.

Maybe they will deny that Adeyemi was abused, too.

Some will no doubt return to conspiracy theories and say a modern-day version of the Salem Witch Trials is breaking out.

Perhaps they will blame collective anti-Liverpool hysteria, ignoring the fact that there is no anti-Liverpool hysteria and that outside Manchester, most people have only respect for such a great club.

The reality is that, thankfully, players such as Adeyemi are not prepared to suffer in silence any more.

They are not prepared to allow abuse like this to be classed as a necessary part of the game.

English football is desperate to put the Luis Suarez Affair behind it, but such is the bitterness and resentment that has grown up around the issue, it may take a lot longer than we think.

Eh, what? The Mirror didn't report that.

A statement from Merseyside police read: “Merseyside Police can confirm that no one has been arrested this evening (Friday, 6 January) on suspicion of racially aggravated behaviour during tonight’s FA Cup fixture at Anfield.

Yes they did. They edited their report when they found out they were wrong.

Surely they'd have to state that at the bottom of the article? I'm sure this is the exact same thing I read when it was posted on here last night.

Even so, I still think it's laughable that you'd take a randomer's word from Twitter over a journalist, even if you don't respect him.

They've completely edited it. It's a lot longer than it was when it was first put out.

That was the tweet they sent out.

Why is anyone really bothered by what tabloids like Mirror, Sun, Star etc write? No one really takes any of that seriously anyway...

Don't quote him

Tamworth fans signing YNWA at Woodison..

Hoilett is better than Sinclair, Sinclair was amazing last season scoring goals like this one particularly.



Not been very good this season with most Swansea saying they wouldn't mind if he went.

I wouldn't mind Hoilett at LFC but Sinclair i'd have my doubts.

I don't want Sinclair at all

I also do not want Sinclair.

Someone non-English.

How about the South American Andy Carroll?

Are the mirror for real?

They're just bitter because we've banned them from Anfield.
