T'was a joke. Anyway, I read that it's a very varied pattern with words ending with -us, and it also depends on how well-established the usage of a particular plural form is.
To be fair to @Judge Jules he has the edge on you as they would have still spoken Latin when he was a lad
Absolutely, and I used to watch chariot-racing on Old Faithful.
Nigel Clough, the Sheffield United manager, has confirmed he will approach Liverpool for permission to retain Conor Coady’s services next season, writes James Shield.
But Clough, speaking ahead of tonight’s game against Stevenage, insisted talks about the midfielder’s future must not take place until after the Anfield club’s push for the Premier League title is resolved.
Coady, whose loan expires at the end of the season, has been a huge success since arriving at Bramall Lane last year and made his 45th appearance during Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final with Hull City.
“We’ll ask the question regarding Conor,” Clough told The Star. “Then see what response we get.
“In fairness, though. I think Brendan (Rodgers, the Liverpool manager) has got something a little more important on his mind at the moment rather than talking things through with us. So, out of respect for both him and Liverpool, we’ll wait until everything is done and dusted there.”
“Conor has, I believe, got a year left on his contract at Anfield so the decision is Liverpool’s to make,” Clough added. “What happens there might have a bearing, I honestly don’t know.
“They will decide what happens next and so, to be truthful, it is out of our hands. The same as it is with John Brayford at Cardiff.”

Was old faithful the name you used for your season ticket seat in Olympia?
It was till that old bastard Zeus confiscated it for his latest bit of stuff.
A Liverpool u17 squad have been competing in the Ajax tournament over the last few days, these are brief highlights of each of their 5 matches. They lost the final 2-1 to Ajax themselves. From the videos it looks like Ojo (number 14) and Wilson (number 5) completely dominated our attacking contributions. Ojo in particular is sensationally quick - pretty much Gareth Bale level. The videos are in the order the matches were played.

Masterson apparently cost €1m when signed in 2012. Current captain of Ireland’s U16 team.

As for O'Hanlon...
[article=http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/teen-dream-comes-at-a-price-for-irish-players-in-england-253259.html]Predicting a youngster’s ascent is a tricky art but Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish made an exception during his pursuit of young Dubliner Alex O’Hanlon.
Back in 2010, Alex’s father was inundated with calls about his prodigious 13-year-old son from the cream of English academy figureheads — including Liam Brady at Arsenal and Manchester United’s Brian McClair — with even Real Madrid tabling an invite for a trial.
Liverpool impressed him most and, since his move to Merseyside, on-field progress has netted him an improved deal from Dalglish’s successor Brendan Rodgers.
“Kenny told Alex he’d be in his first team by 18,” his father Dominic recalled yesterday. “That sounded great but Kenny moved on. Alex will be 18 next April and, as well as he’s doing in the reserves, I’m not expecting a first team debut for him by then.”
After sampling what he describes as the ‘frenzy’ surrounding his son, Dominic can empathise with the current crop of parents dealing with cross-channel interest.
“One of the staff at Liverpool, who has since left, rang me every day for two months trying to sign Alex,” he explains. “After the deal was complete, the same person ignored me in the corridor at the training ground. I had to ask him, ‘why’? He was very honest in admitting he’d succeeded in recruiting the player he wanted and had moved on to the next target.
“Once the chase is over, everything fades away and you’re left missing your son who has left home for a different country. That’s the reality of the business.”[/article]
Poor Finnan. Our most reliable right back for half of the past 10 years and he still seems to be the forgotten man.
p.s. I know it wasn't you doing the whitewashing, RedZep.

Dunn: Anfield factor could be key
2nd May 2014
Jack Dunn believes the Anfield factor could be a big advantage for Liverpool U21s as they look to avenge their Old Trafford defeat last season when Manchester United arrive for the national semi-final play-off on Friday night.
Last season, this evening's visitors downed the young Reds 3-0 in the last four of the Barclays U21 Premier League play-offs, before going on to become national champions after overcoming Tottenham Hotspur.
Kick-off at Anfield is at 7.45pm BST; tickets for the Kop are available to purchase now, while the game will also be broadcast live on LFC TV and LFCTV GO from 7.15pm. Click here for details.
Alex Inglethorpe's side finished second in the league and head into this tie in fine form after firing 55 goals in 21 games this term.
Dunn came off the bench during last season's Old Trafford loss; the 19-year-old Scouser therefore explained why the players cannot wait to step out at Anfield once again.
"This year it's a totally different team and we have a younger team," the attacker told Liverpoolfc.com.
"I think the home advantage is a big thing for us this time and hopefully we can put one over United.
"It's been magnificent for us to play a few games at Anfield this season. That is where you want to play, week in, week out.
"We have played excellent football this season and to get the opportunity to play at Anfield - the home advantage against United - I think that's a massive confidence boost for the lads if we get a good turnout.
"We've been working so hard, we are together as a group and we are desperate to try and become national champions. We have got a lot of confidence and we want to beat United and go all the way to the final now."
Dunn was also quick to point out his gratitude to coach Inglethorpe, who he feels has helped his game flourish this season.
He was called up to the first-team squad for last Sunday's Anfield clash with Chelsea and, despite not making the bench, warmed up with Steven Gerrard and co before kick-off.
He added: "Alex has helped me a lot this season. He has added different aspects to my game, like making more intelligent runs in behind the opposition.
"I have played in a few different positions this season and I'm trying to grasp the position of a No.9, which I think is my favourite position because I'm scoring goals and I'm contributing to the team.
"I do feel my game has really come on leaps and bounds under Alex. I know there is still a lot of hard work to do but I'm really grateful to Alex and he's a great coach to work under."

Dunn was also quick to point out his gratitude to coach Inglethorpe, who he feels has helped his game flourish this season.
The Kirkby graduate has fired 10 goals in a new central attacking role throughout the campaign and is the top scorer for the U21s.
He was called up to the first-team squad for last Sunday's Anfield clash with Chelsea and, despite not making the bench, warmed up with Steven Gerrard and co before kick-off.
He added: "Alex has helped me a lot this season. He has added different aspects to my game, like making more intelligent runs in behind the opposition.

I'd say the next youngster who is knocking on the door is Jack Dunn. The Liverpool-born 19-year-old attacker has been training at Melwood and was part of the warm-up with the first-team squad prior to last weekend's big game against Chelsea. Midfielder Jordan Rossiter, who has been on the bench for the first-team this season, is another highly-rated teenager coming through.[/article]

Ryan Kent and Harry Wilson weren't in the U-18 squad that beat Bolton U-18s 4-2 today. Guess they'll probably be involved in the U-21 playoffs semi-final game against Man Utd at Anfield that's starting in a few hours.
edit: Neither was the right back Connor Randall.

Rossiter misses the game with a knee injury. Wilson and Randall on the bench. McLaughlin is back to start at RB for the game. Teixeira starts.
Mancs all over us at the moment. Smith with a bad pass that almost gifted them a goal, and then got burned easily on another. The lads need to settle down fast and get into their rhythm.
Much better from us now. Not opening them up but at least we've settled into the game and have had a lot of ball possession to control the pace of the game, rather than let the Mancs run full pelt at us in the first 6 to 7 minutes.
Shit, thought that was a goal. Great recovery by Fulton.
