Beckham's mid-field goal
Suarez Bite
Gerrard Slip
Cantona's kung-fu fighting fan
Rooney's goal
Liverpool goal off balloon

it looks pretty close. I seem to remember the English fans giving JK crap for being a diver before he joined Spurs and he did this to kind of rub everyone's face in it after his first goal.

I don't think there is any limit to the number of players a club can have under contract. It's possible, but I've never heard that mentioned. In recent years I've seen some Italian clubs with 70+ kids on loan.NewlyRetired said:
The contractual arrangements for these loans seem to be very complex at times, and not much is disclosed. I think it's all over the map. Presumably, in most cases one would expect Chelsea to be paying some or all of the salary, but that's not always the case. One example is Juan Cuadrado, for whom Chelsea just this week booked the transfer revenue from Juve. He's been playing in Italy for years under a complex loan to buy arrangement that is probably designed to address FFP, tax, risk and other concerns of both clubs.

The complexity of Italian/Serie A defensive tactics is amazing when you see it broken down. It was Allegri's shift (in late Dec) to a back four that completely turned Juve's season around (they were only 1 pt ahead). It enabled them to utilize all their attacking talent, whilst maintaining a fluid interchange between MF & CB's (as far as defensive coverage & counterattacking delegation). It was when Allegri really put his stamp on this team, bypassing Conte's 3-5-2, & really allowing Juve to adapt to a style of play more conducive to success in Europe/UCL "; less predictable & more offensive, all the while maintaining their trademark defensive cohesiveness.

Would you believe he was training for a stupid summer friendly with french teenage whores?
No? -
Chelsea star Eden Hazard has fractured his right ankle while on international duty with Belgium.
The Belgian FA confirmed on Sunday night that their captain sustained the injury in training.
Hazard is expected to be sidelined for between six to eight weeks.
It had been announced earlier in the day that the Chelsea star would miss the forthcoming matches against the Czech Republic and Estonia with what was then considered a twisted ankle, only for scans to reveal to true extent of the damage.
6-8 weeks is better than the initial estimation - he could still pass a physical in August...besides, since when did Madrid really care about physicals?

Six here too. I can picture both the Gerrard and Shearer celebrations but can't pull the goals.Sinn Fein said:

Funny thing
I buzzed my hair down with a #3 guard the day before. Showed my wife that picture and said, "Look, he wants to be like me."
PS, yes it's better than the highlights
I see it reported as a heart attack - I wonder if it will end up being an enlarged heart.
Sad either way.

Just saw it on Twitter. Awful.
I'll never forget that goal he scored against Arsenal in that 4-4 draw. Only goal that's really seared into my brain worse is the Danny Rose goal.
Turns out it was Tiote's only Premier League goal. RIP.

oh ####... I remember that goal and seeing him play for Newc- he looked like he was going to be a big star.
damn.. this is some tragic stuff. RIP
One day after he says he would entertain an offer from Real Madrid, he breaks his ankle...coincidence?

Who knows if the can play or not but a CB and ball playing wing depth are the right targets at least.
per BBC: Liverpool still have to reach an agreement with Southampton - and a demand for a fee well in excess of £50m could mean negotiations will be complicated before any deal nears a conclusion.
Seems they have a deal with Van Dijk, and now have to hammer out a deal with Soton

Trying not to get too excited.....
My 3-years of transfer window watching tells me that Salah and VVD are done deals with just the paperwork to conclude. That being said, nothing is done until it's done....
So anyway, I'll just enjoy the hockey, wish I could enjoy the NBA, and wait until I see the lean before I make way-too-optimistic predictions about what these signings mean for Liverpool.

Not sure if you guys can see this but if you look in the lower right hand corner of the league rankings, this is exactly the type of list MLS wants to be at the bottom of when regards to TV.

You know Solanke is done because his Wikipedia page says he's a Liverpool player.
Scored another game winner for the U20s yesterday.
