We aren't. It's a 20-30 year cycle as the establishment cycles out and new leaders emerge.

People thought the country was over in the 60s and 70s. Then we got the 80s, 90s and 2000s which were awesome minus a few hiccups.

Yeah maybe so, I also find it super ironic that (in general) the people who like to bitch about other people being offended and call them snowflakes, are the ones who get upset about the dumbest shite.

Like Nike makes pretty decent quality stuff (albeit overpriced)... I couldn't give two shits about what causes they do or do not support (within reason of course, if they came out pro-Nazi or some shite, then yeah I'd reconsider)

I haven't bought Nike since 2005, when they co-opted that image of Ian MacKaye to sell their skateboard line... but honestly, it had more to do with I didn't really like their shoes..

I doubt I buy the new shirt, but not because of Nike (or the design)... In the past couple of years Ive chosen to just buy some older replica kits and be done with it..

The sooner people accept that generally speaking, the only cause the vast majority truly supports is money, the better off you'll be in simply "letting go".

We're all racing to the same damn place, crazy to be so angry.

I hope you're right, and I can buy it because I do see the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak with more people becoming aware of these issues and working to fix it, we just have so far to go

That's totally valid, I like Nike shoes (especially my LSU ones)... I usually buy a kit a year (although I did buy 3 last year because of all the damn silverware). I'll buy this year's because I want one to commemorate the PL Title (hi gold badge )

Without going to far down this rabbit hole, I believe the current admins campaign strategy is to exploit the divide and increase it... they are just banking on being on the better end of it in Nov.

Overly simplistic and I know some will disagree.. just my 2 cents..

I could buy that 100%, and we'll see how it goes... Regardless of who is in the WH, the much larger problem to me is these old arse cronies in the Senate and House, like we need term limits ASAP so these people don't just sit on a seat for freaking decades

thats the only reason I may consider it!

If I had more available wall space (personal office or man cave), id consider getting it (Hendo) and framing it...

I dont think the missus wants it hanging in the living room

I got the UCL one with Hendo, so may do the same with the PL and frame/shadow box both together.

Just don't ask her, and put it up in the living room then ask forgiveness afterwards

She's lucky you don't wear it to important/fancy occasions.

In my household, my throwback Dickerson Rams Jersey and 1980 Nolan Ryan Astros jersey qualify as formal attire.

This 2020 kit is getting added to that list.

I ordered the replica with the badges for 112 and no name or number. Couldn't justify around 200 for an authentic. It should be cheaper on the LFC site when back in stock though but not by much.

Its weird to see our pursuit of Lewis play out in the press...

All the LFC ITK journos reported the £10mm offer this morning and the have all reported it rejected this afternoon...

I haven't watched him at all, but from what Ive read he seems a good choice... I dont think Klopp/Edwards want to dick around too much with this... I'm sure they want their guy in by the start of camp..

I'd be happy with either.. we just need a damnback up... DO NOT want to see Milner again there... ever!

Looks like they all get briefed at the exact same time..

All Ive seen is YouTube videos, but he looks very good going forward and has a good delivery... Also, was reading up on how he looked good against Traore this week and has done very well in Europe this season, too..

Liverpool and Norwich fail to reach an agreement for Jamal Lewis, with the Premier League champions close to signing Konstantinos Tsimikas as cover at left-back for €13m (£11.75m) from Olympiacos. Medical expected early next week.

Tsimikas supposedly has arrived for his medical. Just watched some highlights and he’s got a lot of upside. Good signing I think. Really strong on the ball, bombs forward, puts in some good crosses.
