jiggy 3,207 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Liverpool have some iconic moments in fairness. Watching all their diehard unloyal fans running home from the pub stagging at half time when they were losing the champions league final only to return 10 minutes after the final whistle like a herd of cattle celebrating pretending they never left and Gerrard never winning the premier league are some of my fondest memories. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicepix 5,650 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 What I liked about last night's result is that it was played like a testimonial. The only difference is that both teams were full of players nobody has ever heard of instead of players everybody had forgotten about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The rest of us always knew it was fantasy football. At least Utd,s " what shall we win next " attitude stemmed from a lot of home grown talent....City,s " what next " attitude has been purely based on " who shall we buy next " Utd are still giants of the game....City are still 2 bob to most fans.

THE STIFFMEISTER 14,553 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Let’s not have short memories here liverpool fans will become worse than united , they have a sense of entitlement already and the average koppite is becoming unbearable of late . Lets not pretend liverpool have developed this the right way , they have spent some serious money , this is no rags to riches story , it’s one of the top 5 clubs moving forward with finally the correct investment . As a supporter of neither team , it’s great to watch them both, for a lifelong city fan , the last decade must seem like a Christmas dream come true , for a Liverpool fan , it must be nice to finally come full circle from the likes of Neil rudduck john scales etc i must admit though a part of me wishes someone would catch them , someone like Leicester or god forbid Tottenham just to shut up some of the koppites at work I think city will beat them next week , I just have a feeling that liverpool will die a little post Xmas , the united game was a biggie imho , if they’d win comprehensively at old Trafford they could have kicked in with that mental barrier gone. As it is , they still look like a balloon ready to burst , yesterday’s result was the hallmark of champions . Anyway what a great start to the p l season 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackmag 5,862 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 I think when souness went in he tried to change them to a big hard team and tried to do it to fast it didn't work I think that's when it started but I like klopp as a manager but can they keep it up all season Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 44,196 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Maintaining that level all season requires something very special imho.......it’s Total, unwavering focus, determination, belief and aggression to achieve by every player, the manager, the staff. Its a bushido type mentality to never lay down and die, it’s require players to step in at key moments if they see a teammate dropping away and making them stand on the shoulders of giants. Its a state of mind....... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackmag 5,862 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Do you think wilf Liverpool's strength in depth compared to city's could be there undoing or what happened and of last season in the league because as much as I like watching both play i would like Liverpool to win it this time Edited November 3, 2019 by Blackmag Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, I think purely from a football fans point of view most proper fans would like to see a grand old lady like Liverpool win the league than they would the likes of the Man City’s of this world. purely from a players point of view the league never lies and the best team win. 100 points is a 100 points, you can’t argue with that even if you hate City with a passion. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 14,553 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Seeing as this seems a very sensible football based thread for a change , would anyone mind if I post a few links of stuff I’ve found interesting lately ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 14,553 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Totally enjoyed this .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 14,553 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Two hours long but this is one of the best football related things I’ve watched in a while Roy Keane and Gary Neville interviewed in a studio in Dublin , some very good stories and a great insight into Keane as a player , a manager and a man . Neville more of a sidekick here but it passed two hours on a long journey for me well worth it for a united man , or anyone with an interest in that era 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
