    It was incomplete...should be: Definition of "FFFUUU" ==
    Obviously, FFFUUU is an expression of anger and rage. But to the unaware, they may believe that FFFUUU is actually a swear. Actually, they are right, too. The expression, spelled as posted, "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-", (23 F's and 22 U's) is truly a stretched out and incomplete version of the F-word, hence the hyphen. However, as pronounced on a video from [[YouTube]], the F's resemble the slow stress release of air coming out between the two [[incisor teeth]] and the lower lip, and the U's resemble a very loud raging yell, to release all the anger.
    So it was not what you are thinking.<ok>

    is Neymar a team player? he may end up disrupting Barcas flow.

    apart from Messi, individually Suarez,Ronaldo Bale etc could win a game on their own, so hard to say for me as i have seen Barca and a lot of it is to do with Messis form, where as for the other team it would take all 3 to have an off day, as there is always the chance of that moment of brilliance to win them a game from all 3.

  3. I don't think it matters. Neymar's movement, pace and finishing with Xavi, Messi and Iniesta supplying, it will be awesome <ok>

    I am concerned though, with Bayern, Dortmund currently dominating. Real and Barca strengthening. PSG on the way up, aren't we in danger of losing a champions league place in England?!?!
    Arsenal are just happy to qualify, Utd are not going to be a force for a while in Europe, city just useless and the chavs may mingle.

    That's what I thought would happen with Villa and then Sanchez, but it just didn't work out that way. Will be interesting to see if Neymar manages to succeed where they both failed. He certainly seems more naturally talented than either of them, its just down to whether he will be able to handle not being the star attraction of his team.

    Won't help with Swansea & Wigan in the Europa <laugh> Don't think we'll fall out of the top 3. Its based on the last 5 seasons, so we are miles ahead of the 4th placed Italy. These rankings move so slowly Liverpool are still 17th in the European coefficients, that's despite not being in the CL since 2009!

  7. We could drop one place with the emergence of Germany but I don't think we are in risk of dropping any more. Dropping one won't lose a CL place, it will mean two have to qualify rather than one <ok>

    Villa wasn't bad for Barca tbh, they just wanted to phase him out with Sanchez - but he ended up being really poor for them.

    No, being overtaken by Germany and dropping to third makes NO difference. We still get 4 places and only 4th have to qualify.

    the problem with the rankings moving slowly is there's a cliff. LFC will fall off it and have nothing for europe at all in a couple years and will be up against it to get back up.

    England is certainly the 3rd best league now and i'd have to say fance, portugal and italy all have teams well capable of taking out the english sides.

    english football has had its day at the top, that was in the 2000s not the 2010s. I can't see england geetting much other than lucky cup wins (see chelsea) in the enxt while. PSG are more attractive than city, monaoc are even more attractive. I simply can't see someone build a real quality team capable of a consistent CL challenge.


    remember utd have a terrible midfield in european terms, city are all about one player... chelsea are chelsea... they'll sack a manager soon.. and arsneal are <laugh>

    as a country its high time to wake up.

    This is the one that really matters for Liverpool as it's what next seasons CL seeding will be based on:
    http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method4/trank2014.html

    You should keep an eye on it during the European season. Its pretty much guaranteed that Liverpool will be outside the top30 by the end of the season, and a coefficient of around 50 would make it likely they would be among the 5 unseeded teams in a CL play-off round if they finished 4th in the PL.

    PL teams bring in the viewers. They will never reduce it to 3. What are they gonna replace the 4th spot with? Some ****ty Slovakian team with 3,000 fans?

    Chelsea WON the CL a YEAR ago whilst finishing 6th. We finished 5th when we won it. It's as ridiculous as saying Barca are not a force anymore because of their CL performances this season, despite equaling La Liga points record in their first season without Pep. <doh>

    They will if England fall outside of the top 3 ranked leagues in Europe, it's in the rules.

    which is what i said, you can get away with a couple bad years but we've now had how many??? the seeding falls of a cliff and you end up 4th seed in a group and struggling. look at how ****e city are as 2nd seeds!! this is why in wengers first few gos he couldn't get a sniff of getting out of a group while now they nearly a;ways do... their team is ****e but thy are seeds so have an easier round.

    LFC need to start from scratch.

    Won't happen tho'. They average out the scores of all participating clubs, weighted by years of participation, with major bonuses for reaching the group stages in CL and EL. So even tho' English clubs are a way behind Barca, Real, Bayern and Dortmund, we are still a way ahead of the majority of their top clubs. In the top 25 clubs there are six English teams, four Spanish, three French and Italian, and only two German.

    The consistency of the top English clubs also counts in our favour - England is the only team whose clubs always all qualify for the CL group stages and most of which qualify of the CL. Since we got a fourth spot back in 2002 only Newcastle in 2003 and Everton in 2004 failed to get to the group stage, and in 2004 we had a fifth representative anyway. But over the last few years Sevilla, Sampdoria, Monchengladbach, Udinese and plenty of others have failed to make it into the groups.

    The top English teams aren't at the top table any more, but our strength in depth is a way above any league apart from Spain. It would take a big effort for Germany to move past us with only Bayern and Dortmund showing any real European pedigree, and the Italians, Portugese and French are showing next to nothing in the CL or Europa.
