LFC confirm Barca friendly to be played at Wembley

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..

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

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!

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.
