At my age?
With my knees?



No it's because I was asleep on the sofa, and didn't see a ball being kicked.

(Blimey that punchline was a long time coming)

I didn't realise statistical shaftings took such a toll on the body.

Still, we stand a chance of getting something from the game against them, that's the positive thing.

A = Sit back wait for the inevitable , the atmosphere is non existent , get beat lamely .

B = Get stuck in , high press , the crowd respond accordingly , perhaps get beat .

I'll have a B please Bob .

Totally agree. And I do think CH has seen the light somewhat based on recent performances. However, I don't think we'll see much of B against Liverpool next weekend - we nullified them very well at Anfield and I'd expect to see the same.

Statistically our home league record v Liverpool is not too shabby, just three defeats and three draws in the last six games. Definitely due a win.

Easy win for the Albion...a nice comfortable 3-0!
I don't know about 3-0, that's going a bit far... but I will settle for a cosy 1-0 or 2-0. They are there for the taking now. Every club goes through a bad spell in a season, and this is the start of theirs. The timing could not be better.

Barry Glendenning has just described Liverpool's next league game as:-

"BENIGN" :angry:

I thought we competed well at Anfield, they were holding on a bit at the end. I’d be delighted if we got a draw though, they have some good players and their pressing game always causes us problems.

Henderson is shit though.

:lolol:

I'm going to this match and I'm fully expecting us to avoid defeat. Since I moved away in 2015, we haven't lost in any of the games I've come back for (W7 D1). There's no way Liverpool are going to take away my unbeaten record.

I just did a quick back of the envelope on the table below and if you convert all that to 3 points for a win I don't think one single pair of teams change places. I seem to recall that Leeds would not have won the league (1969?) with the new points thing, but by and large it seems to have affected nothing :shrug:

Finished above Everton in the same season we finished above City. Everton finished 19th, 4 points and 1 place above relegation

I would imagine any recently hatchjed Liverpudlian interlopers looking at this thread will be thinking 'what the actual ****?' or 'this lot are mentalists' or 'they seem strangely and disturbingly confident'. It would be a good idea to not enlighten them on what we know and what they don't know......:rolleyes:

But as everybody was playing to the same rules before and after you wouldn't expect that kind of difference. If it did make an impact then it would show up in the league-wide number of draws. I don't know if there is a difference there but I'm sure it's been examined...

You just had to make me check :lolol:

Dirty Leeds would still have won the league in '69 under 3 points for a win.

The objective of three pints for a win was to encourage teams to go for the win. I am convinced that it changed behaviours and is illustrated with more action in the last ten minutes of games.

How much do I have to drink if we lose?
