We have two sessions."It is fine to recover and then we go again. Crystal Palace play tonight as well so it is really fine."I realise you don't understand it as well and you work in football so why should I explain it again.

If you make a joke out of that you are ignorant."Don’t think anyone will be making any more “jokes” about 12.30 kick offs with Jurgen.

Fucking knobhead absolutely shat himself. #SHULIV #LFC #JurgenKlopp #Klopp pic.twitter.com/fdgUh6nDHXWhen Buckland said he was not meaning to be
