    No, actually I’m with him. Decades, centuries, and millennia start with a 1 and end with a 0. Year 1 was Year 1, not Year Zero.

    All the hype about the new millennium starting in 2000 was a year early.

    There.

    Yeah but...there was no year 0, so the decades are 1AD-10AD, 11-20...2011-2020. Which is why when we had a big millenium party on 31 December 1999, it was a year early.

    I know, you regret asking, don't worry I regret posting it. <laugh>

    At least you didn't make me explain why the Long goal was bad.

    Have put up a new thread as there are quite a few favourite moments to consider so this may run for a while.

    It's good we signed Sadio Mane against his will ... presume Katharina had her pistol out again.

    Hi didn’t want to join us so much that he went on strike to...err...join us.

    Revisionist history here I suspect, to up his credit with the fans.

    Binary. 1s and 0s. Had a whole career on it, so 2010 was the start of the 10s for me ;)

    I would like to think that this is him being very clever. Upping credit with the Liverpool fans whilst basically admitting that his ideal career move would have never taken him to Liverpool - and so I assume they are not his end goal

    I say this because had he joined Dortmund and been a success he would have been out of Liverpool’s price range and therefore his next move would have been to Bayern or one of the Spanish giants

    Also as mentioned above - isn’t it on record that he went on strike to join us? But people don’t like facts they don’t agree with anymore

    For me, the start of a new decade is the first moments of a year that ends in 1. But there are 365+ days before that new decade registers up the '1' digit. So it's the time space between the 0 and 1 that is important. The 0 is the start off point. The 1 is the completion. And so on.

    Your life started the moment you were born when you were 0 days old not on your first birthday.

    The "last decade" to me means 09/06/2009 - 09/06/2019. A decade is 10 years so must be 10 years to the day.

    I'm sure some agents got quite rich out of his transfers. But I think Sadio can say he got his money's worth.
