Drugs are illegal?

I'm pretty sure they're not.

As in, its not against the law to have took drugs or admit to have taken them, just illegal to be in possession of them.

But id imagine the boardroom at whichever club this is would have CCTV so i would imagine they would get cautioned if thats the case

Yeah, but even then I imagine this is just an exercise in plausible deniability. Lets assume for a second it is Aston Villa, then they've basically done as much as possible to wash their hands of the whole thing and show that it as isolated individuals rather than the whole club.

Liverpool are ridiculously good going forward.

Sterling, Sturridge and Gerrard will play like absolute shit for England at the world cup too, which is the most annoying thing.

Theres no reason they should, Hodgson should just set England up like Liverpool considering the amount of Liverpool players England are likely to have. Think people would prefer if we went out and attacked rather than playing the cautious football we do, never going to happen mind

By calling the ref biased?

By generally being quiet, calm and respectful - unlike Mourinho all the time and to a much lesser extent, Brendan Rodgers recently - It's far preferable to listening to gobshites mouthing off all the time. His rant after the Barça match was blatantly out of character and that was one of the reasons it was so notable.

You keep trying to be awkward though, Shola

The worst thing is, is that Liverpool steam rolling a very average league in the past few weeks has created some kind of hype for the World Cup. I think the Liverpool contingent will have disappointing tournaments compared to the level of hype that they've got going into it.

The fact Henderson, Sterling, Sturridge et al are completely untested at international level and the England manager is hopeless and, unlike Rodgers, will do the exact opposite than get the best out of them I can't see England doing any better than I could a year ago.

I know but its not really possible to prosecute everyone who may have taken drugs in the past. It seems like it will be impossible to prove.

In fairness I re-read the article and saw the club rang the police.

Also the article says 'major' rather than 'Premier League' so its probably a Championship club, and tbh I've always assumed a reasonable proportion of Championship players are on drugs. They look the type.

I'd have thought CCTV evidence would be fair evidence for a charge of drug possession.

Mignolet has so many mistakes in him.

He makes the odd mistake but he's probably saved us more this season than he's cost us, he'll probably make a couple of brilliant saves now if the rest of the season is anything to go by

Yeah but a mistake against City is worth far more than a peno save against Stoke (for example). He reminds me of Barthez purely for his mistake-proneness yet ability to make top class saves

They've all peaked, that's been their biggest benefit this season. When you have two strikers scoring as both Suarez and Sturridge are doing then you're going to be in with a good shout. I guess the biggest question will be how they go next season and if it can be backed up, which I doubt.

Edit: Spelling.

A mistake that doesn't cost you points is less important than a save that saves them, doesn't matter who they come against.

Trouble is its easier to remember the mistakes than it is to remember the times he's saved us
