I was going to boast that they're all live here in SA too, but feared someone would step in with the "Always live at Anfield, too" brag.
By the same token, when people start dishing out posts worth liking, I'll like them.

I was going to make a point about why people wouldn't like your posts.
Thanks for helping out.
No Split-Loyalties For Assaidi
15:44 8th January 2014
Moroccan ace firmly hoping for a Stoke victory on Sunday...
OUSSAMA ASSAIDI insists there will be no split-loyalties at the Britannia Stadium this weekend when Stoke City play host to his parent club Liverpool in front of the live television cameras.
The Moroccan international isn’t eligible to feature in Sunday’s game because of Premier League rules, but admits that he will be in attendance at the game giving his full backing to his current teammates.
The side have enjoyed a good start to 2014, registering a 2-1 FA Cup triumph against Championship pace-setters Leicester City, on the back of a 1-1 draw with Champions League chasing Everton.
“I would love to be involved in the game, but through rules and regulations that isn’t possible unfortunately,” he told stokecityfc.com.
“There is nothing I can do about it, apart from sit on the sidelines and cheer my teammates on, which is what I will be doing on Sunday.
“I want Stoke City to win the game of course, because this is where I am playing my football at the moment, and for as long as I am here I will want us to win every game we play.
“We have started the year well – maybe we are still disappointed not to have won the game against Everton, but a point wasn’t bad.”
He added: “Hopefully, the lads can build upon that game, and the win against Leicester, and take the points from the Liverpool game which would set us up nicely for the rest of the season.”
The winger has rediscovered the form that he showed at Heerenveen prior to his move to Anfield in 2012 in recent weeks, putting in a series of superb displays for Mark Hughes’ side on the left hand side of midfield.
Assaidi paid tribute to the Welshman for the role he has played in helping him to establish himself as one of the most creative and potent attackers in the first team squad.
“A player like me needs to feed off the confidence of the coach,” he added.
“He must trust me, and he must give me time on the pitch. I need time to do what I feel I am good at, which is taking defenders on, putting balls into the box and scoring goals as well.
“Mark has been fantastic with me, because he always tells me what to do, he shows me how hard I need to work to track back and defend, which I like to do, but he also likes me to go forward and try to create things too.
“I feel that he and his staff have belief in me and that makes me feel very good and it allows me to express myself on the pitch and bring out the quality that I know I have.”

Not the most diplomatic stance.

What a prize prat, he should have shut up on that one even if he does want Stoke to win.
An important game considering the games the other teams around us have. Stoke are cunts, their fans are cunts, and Mark Hughes is a massive cunt.
I hope we shit all over them.
Alehouse twats.
I thought it was refreshing to read a player saying what he actually thinks. He knows he won't play for us again so he's just being honest. Footballers have loyalty to themselves, their bank balance and the team where they actually get to play football. Why should he give a fuck about us? He's not wanted by the management, spends his time with Stoke players, plays for them in front of their twat fans. Nothing wrong with what he's said.

I agree. Assaidi has every right to get behind the players he spends every day with. I'm glad he isn't playing.
Yep, this is a huge game, we need to win it to prove we have top 4 aspirations, I'm not convinced we will though, I foresee a drab 1-1.
This has banana skin written all over it. The only thing that gives me a bit of hope is that Hughes attempts to play more football than Pulis sides did. I think we'll have our chances. I think we can also safely predict Huth or some other clodhopper will boot Suarez regularly and get away with it.
Still can't believe he got away with that stamp/tread last year.
Sturridge on the bench would be a big boost
Fuck I hope somebody brings this to the attention of Suarez:
Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland is relishing the opportunity to shut out Liverpool striker Luis Suarez for the second time in his career.
The 20-year-old went head to head with Suarez when he featured for the Great Britain team at the 2012 London Olympics and kept a clean sheet in a 1-0 victory over Uruguay. Butland is expected to make his first Premier League start for Stoke when Liverpool visit the Britannia Stadium on Sunday, with Asmir Begovic and Thomas Sorensen both likely to miss out through injury.
And the former Birmingham City man is excited by the prospect of resuming the battle against the Premier League's top goalscorer.
"I'm excited as I've faced him before and beaten him," Butland told the club's official website.
"That was when I was playing for Team GB in the Olympics and we beat Uruguay.
"We beat them 1-0, so I'd love to be able to face Liverpool and be able to put in a good shift and beat them too.
"It was fantastic to make my full debut in the FA Cup at the weekend, and having already sampled the Premier League against Everton (as a substitute) on New Year's Day, I would love to feature in the game on Sunday too."
Is that fucking right Jack.....?

Ha. If suarez sees that he'll fucking relish the idea of destroying him, Ivan Drago style.
The kitman should pin the comments to Suarez's kit so he sees them before he goes out to play.
This game has draw written all over it.
Then fit a muzzle. You know, just in case.
People who don't read match threads won't get why I liked that.
Ah well, fuck 'em, no dedication.
