So the Carragher thing is funny... mainly because he's literally being himself. :P


Saints are down me thinks. We have 2 winnable games from now on, I'd say, maybe a lucky draw in that time but that won't be enough.




Hmm, pie.

I don't really understand why you mock the Premier League then go on to constantly talk about the Bundesliga.

Well that is because he is German (or close enough anyway). Of course he is going to like his own league

OT: Amazing how many posts that Utd - Liverpool game generated :O

Well, even though the EPL isn't dominant on the worldwide stage anymore, Liverpool and United is still a good rivalry.

"Go after." is an odd term. He's got military service to do, he might have to do it. Surprised he hadn't done it before, he's 25.



Hmm, pie.

How long has he been in the UK? Can`t he just apply for British citizenship and bin his korean passport or something?

Why not? If you`re not a citizen there any more then you won`t have to do anything they require of their citizens. I know some countries force you to revoke all previous nationalities when you acquire citizenship with them which means that dropping citizenship from a country is definitely something that people can do.

Yeah but we don't. Besides, maybe he should go and do it? Why is he an exception from the rest of his nation? Because he is a high paid footballer? We are in the privilege (depending on your opinion) of being from a national without National Service. Maybe he should have done it before following his football career and moving to Hamburg.

If he wants to, sure. If he doesn`t want to though then I see no issue with him saying stuff you to his evil oppressive government.

It will probably look bad on Son if he tries to dodge the military because it will send a message that if you're rich and famous that you won't have to serve like the rest of the country. Manditory conscription is stupid though and it would be better if they got rid of that law.

Military service was an interesting experience but I sure as fuck wouldn't have done it if I were a filthy-rich football player 😂

I don't think it's that simple If you are a neighbour of North Korea.
