Poor Suarez, sat behind the two black people.

Joking, don't kill me. I don't want to seem like a miserable horrible bastard.

Liverpool prepared to snub Europa

Brendan Rodgers insists Liverpool will be prepared to snub next season's Europa League competition if they qualify through the Fair Play league.

The Reds sit second behind Arsenal in the Premier League's fair play standings, with Tottenham and Manchester United, who are set to automatically qualify for Europe, occupying the third and fourth spots.

UEFA grants a place in the Europa League qualification stages to the three highest place fair play leagues in Europe and, although England is fourth in that list, Liverpool could nab one of those places with three games still remaining in the season.

But the Reds' pre-season tour of Asia and Australia in July would clash with preliminary qualification matches and Rodgers is adamant his side would have no qualms in rejecting the Europa League.

"I've never thought of it,he said. "Maybe we should get a couple of sendings off or bookings. There's a pride thing and we want to get into it with our performance level and it's highly unlikely we'd get that route [anyway].

"It's the top three countries and we're fourth. It's not something I would be keen on. I want to get there through the right means. If we have to have a year where we are not in it, it's going to give us an opportunity to push on."

Liverpool were forced to qualify for this season's Europa League with play-off ties against Belarusian side FC Gomel and Scotland's Hearts after finishing eighth in the Premier League last campaign.

Rodgers believes the extra pre-season fixtures, despite the possibility of being present in Europe, would be a burden for Liverpool.

"It was a long journey in the Europa League this year," he said. "Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed it and we were disappointed when we came out of it, but I think down the Fair Play route means the competition starts even earlier.

"I'd prefer to be in it by qualifying through the league or winning a trophy. If it's not that way then, we as a club are better suited to re-aligning our focus to domestic cups and the league."

Can't blame them tbh, European competition (particularly the Europa League) is a distraction (Italian sides treat it as such), and it does rob them of a proper pre-season.

They'll probably use this opportunity to try and challenge for the CL places.

Yeah, just leave the first team players and big names back at Melwood with the assistant manager and you get the chance to play up and coming players in important fixtures, get them used to travelling as first-team players and there's plenty of television and match revenue to be gained.

He's clearly not saying he doesn't want to play in it, he just doesn't want to go into it when we haven't actually earned it by placing high enough.

Nah, last 2 lines make it seem like he's just saying he doesn't want to be in it cos it starts so early rather than starting later if the actually qualified

Seems like a combination of the two being the deciding factor to me, not one nor the other.

You know those horribly edited videos of players doing ridiculous things?

Liverpool signed Downing because of one of those videos.

‘There was some footage of Stewart where he is kicking footballs into five different trash cans,’ said Werner. ‘It was brilliant.
‘John and I said, “Oh my god, this player is brilliant, we have to figure out a way to make a deal”.’

All hail Panorama for "unearthing" new Hillsborough footage. And where did it come from? The BBC's vault. So they were part of the cover-up!

From Redissue's official twitter.

Valid point tbf.
