Could be anything mate but I wouldn't get too excited, they like to hype up all sorts of miniscule things to get you to tune in.

Be Karius.

Be Karius.

Either that or the Barca friendly is taking place at Wembley the day before the Charity Shield as Barca don't want to play in Dublin two weeks running.

Lfc are delighted to announce that the naming rights for the main stand have been sold to north Korea and will be officially opened by our glorious leader.

Second half of Basel to be replayed?

Nearly choked on me lunch reading that,funny as.

Naming rights for the stand
Gerrard offered coaching role.

A 1pm press conference without actually being a 1pm press conference. Think I'll put the tennis back on.

Liverpool v Barcelona going to be played at the conveniently located Wembley.

It's about the friendly with Barca just seen the free vid on Twitter and it's live from Wembley, so no big shock there

F***ing amateur level sh*t calling a press conference for that, dear god lads get a grip.

Oooooh something we already knew, nice one... did Barca have a press conference for this too? Did they sh*te.

This is one of those shake your head moments, just have to laugh, top stuff FSG.

A pressie just for a friendly?

What's the point!?

Thinking the same mate. LFC TV must be short of viewers recently if they have to go to these lengths to get them.

They'll have even more switching off with this kind of stuff, cringeworthy that. What next we having a presser to announce that Ian Ayre has had his morning sh*te...

Not impressed by our PR department here, not in the slightest.

I mate,that certainly was a WTF moment.

Maybe they should dig deep and pay the wages to help us compete, that will get the viewing figures up.

The only time I watch it is for the academy and under-21 games. The rest is a load of sh*t.

I couldn't give a sh*t whether we were playing Berwick Rangers let alone Barcelona in a pre season friendly. It's a F***ing pre season friendly!

You would think we were Shrewsbury F***ing town not a club that has won more European cups then Barca.

Small time sh*t that from the club.

lets hope thats not the highlight of the summer!!!

Thought it was going to be an announcement that Big Jan's Fitness DVD was going on sale on the club shop. Gutted.

That press conference was soooo cringe, what a waste of time.

Real grim waste of everyone's time.

Bit of a let down, syched myself up for a great announcement and now feel down.

Wtf was all that about, pmsl, Gary mac didn't know where to look, f***in embarrassing

YNWA

Next time they think it's a great idea to do something as embarrassing as that, they should do the opposite!

Wonder which Team Luis wants to play for? 

Bunch of plonkers!

Deflated
Disappointed
Frustrated

But Luis back at Anfield!

EDIT: For a bit.

EDIT2: Perhaps

Isn't this supposed to be played at the end of July - will Luis even be available with playing in the Copa America?

Good point

"German football giant FC Bayern Munich has scored a PR own goal with its latest social media stunt.

The Bundesliga leaders had teased supporters by promising that a "bomb" striker would be signing for the club this afternoon. "There will be a spectacular signing for the attack," sporting director Christian Nerlinger had said on the official Bayern website.

Excited fans were told that the identity of their new star player would be unveiled at a press conference broadcast on Facebook at 1pm GMT. All they had to do was 'like' the club to gain access.



They tuned in to find Nerlinger hosting a realistic-looking press conference. But when the moment came to do the big reveal, Nerlinger turned around a piece of paper showing the profile picture of the Facebook user watching the video.

The hoax has not gone down well with Bayern fans, who have expressed their displeasure on Facebook and Twitter. The club's name was even trending in the UK this afternoon as news of the stunt spread.

Matt Fortune, the Daily Mail's world football blogger, tweeted: "The only workplace worse to be in at the moment than Tom Watson's, is the Bayern Munich social media office."

And German football journalist Raphael Honigstein wrote on Twitter: "I don't see how that's funny or clever. (but then I'm German)." He later added: "Bayern supporters on facebook less than amused. #massivefail."

Bayern released a statement this afternoon to placate the angry fans. It said: "Dear fans, of course you've all noticed it already: The video of the press conferen wasn't completely serious, but a little fun for our fans on Facebook, where our fans are the focus.

"Every single FCB fan is the 'spectacular new signing,' our 12th man!"

Whats this got to do with Liverpool Football Club ?

Major F**k up so they make some hyped-up F***ing stupid announcement about the game being played Wembley!!
Did it slip somebody's mind that Anfield is out of commission and a replacement venue had to be sorted?

As per somebody fu**ed up monumentally, the attendance will be embarrassing.

Relates to our very own PR disaster..

6th of August it's getting played. So not sure if he'll be back depends when he reports back to Barca.

Cheers bud.

Holding a press conference to announce a friendly.

F***ing hell.

Ooo a friendly against Barca.

Omg omg omg I can't wait!!!

A return for Suarez, I love the idea. No need for press conference!

Ooo a friendly against Barca.

Omg omg omg I can't wait!!!

Well it's the only European footie we'll be getting this season

Oh great, a reminder once again of how much we miss Suarez right before the season starts, brilliant. Used to having him rip teams apart playing for us, now he will be ripping us apart!

It's a fortnight before the start of their season so I'm sure they'd want to have him back by then.

Copa America is over before the Euro's finish.  Final is the 27th June.

Luis Suarez out. These in.

I know what we did last last summer.

What's even worse is that the amount of money spent to bring them in, at least half will have either left or will be leaving this summer. Never mind Liverpool Football Club, it's Liverpool Revolving Door Club.

Thanks mate - saved me the effort of leading him through it step-by-step.

I'll be going, Luis will score a few own goals for us
