Wow didn't see that coming. Liverpool were unbelievable, not sure what Gary Neville meant when he said they didn't play well.
Should really jumpstart their season.

Is Mo Salah now in the conversation for Liverpool's greatest ever player?

It's been a long time since Man U will have rolled up to Anfield in such fine form.  They will be bursting with confidence.
If Liverpool don't raise their game you could genuinely see a reverse of the Liverpool 5-0 win at Old Trafford.

Only seeing now they got Fulham at home in the next round of the FA Cup, when was the last time that wasn't a 2 leg game they got drawn away in a domestic cup competition? They always seem to be getting home games.

Just as I expected, you did everything but answer the questions I asked. No problem if you don't want to, that's fine but don't reply at all rather than ignore the questions asked, though not answering them tells me all I need to know anyway.

So there's a "movement " out there of people wanting to chop their arms off so they too can be disabled??
Well there are people who identity as those things so what's your opinion on them?

I would hope you need a medical confirmation to back up your request for a disabled parking pass.

Aside from that I don't have much of an opinion at all.

Homosexuality was once officially written off as mental illness. Did you agree with that?
Find it strange you don't have an opinion on it. Do you think these people who identify as transabled for example should taken seriously?
Do you think it's genuine or a mental illness that person may have? It's a pretty simple question.

Like above RedHand88, I'm not sure what homosexuality has to do with trans anything, but to answer your question no I don't agree with homosexuality being considered a mental illness but then as I said it's a completely different topic to transgenderism or transabledism or transracialism...etc etc etc

Why would you find it strange that I don't have an opinion on the "transabled".

I'm not sure I've ever heard before of someone being transabled, therefore I have no information to go on, which means any "opinion" I might have would be totally uninformed, ignorant and completely worthless.

The relevance of homosexuality being considered a mental illness is that is was considered just that, medically, until the 1970s. It was only decriminalized in Ireland 30 years ago FFS. Paisley was campaigning on "Save Ulster From Sodomy" just over 40 years ago. The AIDS epidemic was basically ignored when it first arose because it only affected themmuns i.e. gay people. Took until the 2000s for sodomy to be found legal in a Supreme Court decision in the US.

If you can't see the parallels...

Why do I find it strange?Just from reading this thread you seem to have an opinion on and are an advocate for all things trans so I was surprised who hadn't an opinion or even apparently never heard of other types of "trans" people

So now that you have heard of it(Transablism)and even a quick google will tell you these people exist, what is your opinion on someone identifying as such? Should we view it the same way as transgenderism and try and accommodate these people, maybe allow surgeries to amputate limbs or whatever?
I fail to see the difference between someone believing they were born into the wrong body be it an abled bodied person believing they should be disabled or a male believing they were female, why accommodate one and not the other. So if we allow people to change gender via surgery why not allow someone to become physically disabled by removing a leg or an arm?
What about transracialism should a white person for example who identifies as black be accepted as being such? They exist also another quick google search will confirm that for you.
Have you a line that can be crossed or is everything and everyone acceptable in this new trans world.

Also, the excuse of how dangerous trans women would be in contact sports, well a peak Serena Williams would be stronger than 99% of trans women, does than mean any women (non-trans) of her strength should be banned as well out of 'safety concerns'?

I brought up last week my own (at the time) 14 year old diminutive self being horsed out of it on the GAA field by lads who were a foot taller and three stone heavier. I'm sure many here have experienced the same.

Get up and get on with it was the option available.
Such a poor argument(yours and blanketattack are equally poor)and in no way is it the same as your  14 year old daughter (if you have one, if not insert sister, niece etc) coming up against a foot taller 3 stone heavier biological male who identifies as a female.

Yeah and in Scotland you don't have to chop anything off, you just say you are a woman now by "self identifying" and away you go
You'd have to wonder where it all stops. Now I'm not talking about people identifying as a tree ffs, but I mean if you identify as being disabled, and you feel you were born into the wrong body as an abled person, should you be allowed to claim disability for example? What difference is there to someone, a man for example,saying they were born into the wrong body and they feel they are female.?
It's no different is it? Or you identify as being black even though you were born into a white body.

Those that support these trans people( whatever trans you may be) do you have a point where you think a line has been crossed or should everything just be accepted? Once again I'm not talking about nutters who claim they identify as broccoli.

What's peoples views on other trans movements. People who claim to be Transracial and Transabled just for an example.Are these people also to be taken seriously? I mean what's the difference between wanting to chop your penis off and wanting to chop your arm off so you can be disabled?
I think a lot of it is actual mental illness.

Maybe, or you could see the second season syndrome, where there's bigger expectations and more pressure. Without a bigger win, there'll always be that pressure to show improvements.
We had posters on here calling Klopp a flop in his first couple of seasons. But Liverpool fans could see the change that was happening within the team. Then the performances started to follow, and then the silverware. Which is why all Liverpool fans are happy to stick with Klopp as he has those trophies in the bank now. And it had been a long wait.
I think there's definite potential there with EtH. And he seems to be having a good impact on existing players similar to Klopp. Shows he's a good coach.

Yeah that one PL title is going to keep them going for another while yet  ::)

United be happy with one now me thinks!!
If Man United win in the next 5 years what Liverpool have won in the past 5 years I'm sure they will be very happy.
One league and one UCL.
For all the hype, it's not a massive haul for Klopp's 8 seasons in charge.
He took over a team that were one slip from winning the league a year earlier.
FA Cup, League Cup, World Club Cup also.Are you seriously telling me Man United fans wouldn't be happy winning all that in the next 5 years?
