[LondonTom]

as council tenants, do west ham have to pay a bedroom tax on any unoccupied seats?

No, just returning those seats to the council for distribution

[TheGayTent]

What a depressing site.

Amusing that the LED screens are being talked about again. That was in the original design for the Olympics but dropped due to the expense...

Less than 50 home games left before I give up my season ticket.

Liverpool's plan to increase Anfield's capacity from 45,000 to about 59,000 as part of a £100m expansion plan is approved.

[TheGayTent]

They've successfully forced the locals out then...

[TheGayTent]

Be interesting to see Diaby over the next few weeks.

Is he the same player after all his injuries?

Can he stay fit?

[Andre91]

Can he stay fit?

Of course he can't.

[The Nal]

Ronaldo scored 4 tonight. Shouldve had 5 or 6. Add those to the hatrick on Saturday. 12 goals this season so far. We're only a month in. Hes on a different planet.

[thetime]

Blimey bit of a long pen shootout.

Why Madrid would let him go is beyond me. How much will Utd have to pay for him if he goes?

14-13! Crazy stuff. I think it is a metaphor of how long this season will feel for Liverpool................very fucking long!

Very surprised they didn't rest sterling tonight.

[ThomThomDrum]

Very surprised they didn't rest sterling tonight.

Yeah, as was I. Rest him for a PL game V Villa but not a League Cup game? Found it very odd.

[strummer77]

Very surprised they didn't rest sterling tonight.

Think the Coutinho and Henderson knocks forced Rodgers' hand a bit.

Buy out clause is 1 billion or something. But hes 30 in a few months.

[strummer77]

Yep. Wonder if he may decline sharply all of a sudden though. Not sure if he's the sort of player that will mature and cope as well when he slows.

[Andre91]

I read earlier that he is only 59 goals away from Raul's record of 323 Real Madrid goals. It took him 16 seasons and almost 750 games to amass that. In comparison, it has taken Ronaldo barely over 5 seasons and 254 games to score 264 goals.

He really is disgustingly brilliant isn't he.

Additionally, I also read that since the start of the 09-10 season (when Ronaldo joined Madrid), he and Messi have scored a combined 541 goals for their clubs

Has there ever been something remotely comparable?

Has there ever been something remotely comparable?

Titus Bramble and Paul McShane's glaring defensive mistakes.

12 goals in 6 games. Impressive!

And 25 hattricks.

[5co77ie]

Raheem Sterling joining him at Real? Another winger for them, will this be straight swap for Isco or is Bale off?

[LondonTom]

At least Liverpool would have already been used to lots of penalties

[Andre91]

Bale is not off anywhere

Isco going the other way wouldn't surprise me.

Bale will end up at United in a few years time

[eFestivals]

Bale will end up at United in a few years time

nah... Utd will have gone bankrupt and folded by a few years from now.

[TheGayTent]

Liverpool being investigated by UEFA for a breach of the FFP rules...
