WWE wrestling boss Vince McMahon risked angering fans in Liverpool by appearing to compare the city to ebola.

Mr McMahon, 69, then came out and made an apparent attempt to mock the Liverpool accent in a bid to enthuse the crowd.

Taking to the microphone, he said Liverpool had been worse than Sheffield and Leeds, two other cities on the tour, and the audience needed to wake up.

He added Liverpool sounded “like an old man’s skin disease”, before saying “Liverpool...kind of like ebola, it just crawls up on ya.”

I've no idea who he is, but I like him.

it's frustrating how often we seem to be the team that they begin their good run.

We always seem to play Newcastle at st james park when they're having one of their few good moments too

Sunderland are one of those teams that are absolute sh*te most of the time then they go on a run of decent results. It's frustrating not knowing what Sunderland side will turn up when they face us.

 

Sunderland are a curious side: they often give the impression that they should be finishing in mid-table, almost always fall below that mark, but usually go on a run which justifies your initial assessment of their squad. It must be a mentality/managerial issue within their squad (they swap managers often)?

 

EDIT: Ironically, Newcastle are like a superior Sunderland in this respect, too.

Well 2 seasons back was their first match after signing all their new French players in January, they were on a bad run but outplayed us.

I'd rather be playing them now when we can't underestimate them, also, no Luiz this year who was shocking in this match the last 2 seasons.

As if it couldn't get any worse for Arsenal.

Ozil has apparently cut-off his own father for pretty much forcing him to go to Arsenal. He doesn't want to be there as the Specialist in Failure has absolutely no ambition. Would we have taken him here at Chelsea if Arsenal hadn't gotten him?

Sceptical about that. Either way, I'm sure most would have taken him before he went to Arsenal, but wouldn't now.

Honestly, if you want people to stay away from crime in future, then you cannot insist on making them pay for their mistakes for the rest of their lives. It's a simple fact. The guy served his time. Let him play. You don't have to f**king like him. These people that are demanding that this guy never be allowed to play again, would be the first people to wish for a second chance if they or a family member had a criminal record.

That would explain why Ozil was suing his old man recently, However whatever the article says, Madrid did want to get rid of the rat, They needed to recoup some of the money spent on Bale that year and although his personality doesn't seem too bad it's amazing how a professional footballer can constantly be subbed after 70 minutes with the talent he has. Whether that's because he smokes, Whether he is having marathon sex sessions with his supermodel bird the night before a game, Who knows, The images of Ozil that stick in my mind are the one where they got beat 6-3 at the Etihad and he's sulking off the pitch with Mertesacker telling him to go and clap the travelling fans, and the one where he is dilly dallying on the ball at Anfield, Get's the ball nicked off him and Liverpool go 4-0 up after 20 minutes. 

I wanted him after... World Cup 2006 (I think?) or Euro 2008... Or WC 2010?! Whatever his first International tournament was... Anyway, thought he was their best player than year but desperately went missing in a team that had/have hardly any faults in 2014. I def don't want him now.

Still would take Modric but no idea where he'd fit in!

His first international tournament was World Cup 2010. He was outstanding in that tournament I agree.

Jezz, With Bobby back at Inter, What are the odds of a Balotelli reunion? 

 

I highly doubt Liverpool would get angry if they approached them for a loan move in January, That would allow them to get Origi from Lille. I was also reading in an Italian newspaper, He want's Lamela back in the Serie A and with Spurs not 100 % happy with him, Maybe a cut price deal to get him back over there? I also can see a Toure re-union at the end of the season as well, Barring Yaya's form picking up dramatically, We will most probably be offloading him this summer and with Mancini rating him as highly as he does, We might be able to add £5/10 extra million to possibly fund deals for the likes of Depay, Draxler and Isco, We need an injection of youth in our squad.

Where are Inter going to get this money from?

You've just made transfers which are worth at least £65-70 million. But it would be good if they made some big moves and looked to sign talented young players for knock down prices.

I agree that City need some youth in the team, but too many departures are needed. Toure though should be top of the list. He can be so dominant but he's a liability off the pitch and his lack of defensive work sometimes gives you tactical dilemmas

Balotelli has a hamstring injury. Not clear how long he'll be out. Shame really i thought he'd been really fantastic for Liverpool so far

Just as well that Sturridge is on the mend. Or failing that they've got the mercurial talents of Rickie Lambert and Fabio Borini to call upon  .

Hahaha what!!

Martin Odegaard, Martin Odegaard, Martin Odegaard, Every football page,site, facebook article and twitter account I seem to see is talking about this guy. Has anyone seen him play for his club side or Norway? Is this guy all hype or has he actually got the talent? Some people say he's the next Messi, Some say he has David Silva's technique, A lot of compliments for such a young guy, I'm not going to go on youtube and search for him because those youtube videos are so well assembled that they could present a case for Niklas Bendtner being a good footballer.

Seen most of his games on TV and three or four in person. He is the real deal. He probably wont be Messi (not really a slight) but he will be an excellent footballer. He has everything and is absolutely worth the hype. Not only is he technically brilliant, he is an excellent passer and has a footballing mind unlike anything I have ever seen. He is also as humble as they come, he is extremely mature for someone still only 15 years old. In 4 years time, barring major injuries, he will be able to walk into any side he wants

Don't you have to actually move a bit to get a hamstring injury? Can't see how he would suffer one.

Xfaxtor, Thanks for that, What do you think his market value would be as of right now considering his age? and I'm glad you have spoke so highly of him because he isn't the first player I've seen who has been touted as the next Messi, I remember Marko Marin was the German Messi. One last question fella, Could he do a job for a club like City, Chelsea or even United next year, Say if he was given minutes off the bench and Capital One cup/FA cup games??

Pulled it on his way from the bed to the fridge.

His market value isnt much, he has one more year left on his contract and his dad/agent has been pretty vocal about the fact that they will be deciding what club he wants to play for and that when they have decided that club will have to compensate Strømsgodset. So its not going to be a bidding war. Could probably do a job for Utd, but I think City and Chelsea have to much competition at his position for him to contribute much next year. The chance of him coming to England is pretty much nonexcistent though so I wouldnt worry about it. From what he and his dad have been saying there is zero chance he comes to City or Chelsea

Xfaxtor, We do have a very good relationship with Stromsgodset, We have loaned them a few players recently so you never know, However would you agree his next possible club could be an Ajax, Fiorentina, Moenchengladbach, Everton type of club? Where he is guaranteed of a starting spot for a competitive side without the pressures and fear of being on the bench at the bigger clubs and in turn fading into the wilderness like some other youngsters?

Doesnt matter if you have a connection with the club, they have basically zero say in this. Yeah thats exactly the type of club hes going to, Ajax is a good shout imo

I'm not sure about Ajax - he'd have to go up against Davy Klaassen. Technically-gifted upstarts do tend to thrive in the Eredivisie, so maybe he could make his name at a lesser Eredivisie side like Heerenveen or some such.

 

However, he is guaranteed senior football at Stromsgodset, so he could also wait until Klaassen leaves and then swoop in to Ajax. Whatever is better for his development.

Highly unlikely because Mancini probably still has nightmares working with Balotelli and Balotelli wasn't very well-liked at Inter Milan towards the end of his tenure over there especially when he wore an AC Milan jersey on an Italian football show when he was playing for Inter.

 

It would be highly amusing if he did ditch Liverpool and return to Inter but I'm enjoying his struggles at Liverpool especially as each week passes by and Liverpool supporters grow more frustrated of him.

Hes not going to stay at Strømsgodset, he was taking the piss out og everyone this year, he needs a challenge. He can also play all three attacking mid spots, I highly doubt hes scared about competing with Klaasen occupying one of them. As a player he blows Klaasen out of the water talent wise and Frank de Boer has been very vocal trying to talk him into coming to Ajax
