Liverpool won a game against city 3-1 in October 2019. City had a penalty claim wiped out in the first half and Liverpool went up the other end immediately and scored.

In the 2nd half Sterling got wiped out and had another penalty claim waived away. So pep is screaming "twice!!"

I mean sure if they did this then great.

Only if Eric "Shut it" Samuels can be bought back out of retirement.

(context: ITV did a series called The Game about the East London Sunday League Division 4, including trying a couple of things that they wanted to see implemented in coverage of professional football, particularly mic'ed up refs, leading to the refs - particularly Mr. Samuels here, resplendent in a 1970s kit despite it being 1991 - being the real stars of the show. He's actually still alive (and doing two jobs despite being in his 80s now), I'm fairly certain he'd at least be willing to take a turn on VAR and explain his wacky decisions)

He backs into defenders who are in mid jump in order to draw fouls and has already injured people doing this.

He's a dirty oval office

I thought Lingard would be on some silly wage that nobody else would pay but apparently he’s on 75k/wk

Just a bit under 15% of Ronaldo’s salary

I think it's more likely that West Ham have switched priorities and he's now like fourth or fifth priority behind desperately-needed cover in central defence and up front so are unlikely to make a bid and he's realised the only other team seriously interested in him are - riches or not - probably better-than-evens to go down, so he'd rather pick up a couple of substitute appearances at 120k/wk and see what comes up next season. It's just funnier if you take it at face value and he's sitting there going "*This* time I'll get picked!".

Im sure lingard could get a decent contract at most mid table or lower clubs to be honest. He's a decent player with crazy work rate.

Swedish style? No.

It has to be Zlatan-style.

JLingz has 6 months to force his way back into the squad at his boyhood club, and even if he fails he'll get a massive signing bonus from some mid-table club that he'll do quite well at. Reckon he's making the right decision tbqh

yeah like a new club could get say £6m for him or he could get that money himself. Going to see a lot more players run down their contracts in future and its already happening a fair bit anyway
