Is that Sterling in the picture too?
What other dress up days do they have?
Wasn’t original Cleopatra a bit of the same too?
Cleopatra coming at ya!
Was she not meant to be average looking but really charming? Like one of those birds who's one of the lads and not as mental as other birds.
She was indeed, and Greek BTW.
A Greek bird who's not mental?? I don't believe it.
On your bike you heathen. Liz Taylor average looking ha! Stunning and a fantastic bitch is right.
Loved his interview today. Great sense of humour!
Where do people stand on FSG giving him a contract?
Unless Mo and Co agree to a two year contract, I think they'll let him go ...

I think it’s astonishing the club won’t give him the three years he wants. He’ll start his last season at 35. Even if he drops off in terms of impact on the pitch week in week out, overall his marketabilty and his professionalism and influence on the squad is worth the gamble (that’s if you even call it a gamble)
It sounds like you're starting to think it may not happen ...
We did well when he was away for Afcon and then out injured.
The problems came when Mo came back from injury and had to play.
How do you know he wants 3 years? Have you moved Wardrobes?
Sorry I must have missed the announcement he wants 3 years or how much he wants? Have a word with Richard seeing as you know more about what Mo wants than everyone here
Thing is, offer him 3 years and if he's shit after two I'm sure we could release him from the third year and Saudi would snap him up
I don't see an issue with giving him three years, if that's what the sticking point is. We can always sell him in a year or two, or if not, he's already more than paid for himself over the last few years.
I’ve thought that from last season.
You think the same for Trent and VvD?
Of you look at it dispassionately - if I were Mo’s agent, I’d be using the Saudi option to try and get a wage hike and a contract of at least 3 years - the leverage is time running out and Mo can sign a pre-contract.
However, I don’t think any other team in Europe is going to pay Salah what we do and commit to longer than a 3 year contract. He can’t sign a pre-contract with an English club, so there’s really only Bayern (who signed Eze to play there), Real (who have Rodrygo & Guller), Barca (who have Raphina) and PSG (who have Dembele) - I don’t see any of them offering a contract unless they’re being as shallow as doing it to sell in a season.
If you’re Hughes, you’re probably holding firm on offering similar wages and a 2 year contract (where you can move to 3) and using the leverage that he’s settled in Liverpool, guaranteed to play, better penalty taker, etc, etc, etc
I’d say the 2-3 year contract is the wiggle room - the standard approach would likely be, 2 years, or 3 years at slightly less basic wages. I think that’s the easy fix unless Mo is asking for a 5 year contract or something like that.
I think it’s also reasonable to assume that Hughes might try to vary Mo’s basic rate Vs his bonus payments l, like less basic, but opportunity to earn more if he and/or the hit certain targets.
More likely though is the number Mo’s agent is asking for, if he’s using Saudi as leverage.
It’s a case of who blinks first if that’s where we’re at and how far apart the numbers are (if they weren’t far apart, then it’d likely have been done).
I think Mo does want to stay and wants to play CL and win things - he’s not doing that in Saudi.
I think there’s possibly a bit of bluff calling going on - we have to be prepared to let Mo go on a free and he had to be prepared to let his dreams of EPL records and further CL games go as well.
He might kick the can down the road until the summer when he can sign for another English club - City, Utd, Chelsea and possible even Newcastle (if City get away with FFP breaches giving them the opportunity to replicate City’s spend model), could all afford him - Arsenal could likely as well, but he’s not replacing Saka.
I still think it’s getting done in or around Christmas - when we get to the real pointy end.

Edwards and Hughes still hiding behind Arne and the success of his team like the fucking spineless cowards they are I see. Fucking nowhere to be seen & we're now in December. Only a redneck hillbilly would think it's a good idea to stand off against its fans at a time of such significance. They better pray to all the Gods they can think of this doesn't come back to bite us in the arse.
You know you’re the only one that comes across as the redneck hillbilly, right?
Like, at any moment I feel like you’re goin to post that you’ve rounded up uncle Jeb and cousin Cleetus and you’re off chewing tobacco, in your beat up pick-up truck with your shotguns to have yourself “a reckonin’ with dem dare fancy boys at da cluuuuuub… yesssiree”.
