Liverpool thread 2018/19

Lol, we've won every title race we've been in where we've been in touching distance for the run in.

He’s obviously referring to the 71-72 season when we blew the title after leading the pack.

It’s bound to get into our players’s heads in the last few games.

If Liverpool were still winning titles, it's too long ago for comparison.

I'll have a go for him

There was an old man from Chester
A bunch of blues he began to pester
He came on their forum
And began to bore'm
By insisting next year is their year

There was an old dip on Bluemoon
Bouncing like a buoyant balloon
The bubble went pop
Points started to drop
As he worried his team peaked too soon

I am saving my poem for later.

I chose my words carefully. Nothing in there boastful on our part, I know we haven’t won anything yet.

If we lose to Chelsea, which will be a hard match, then we are 6 points behind (taking into account their games in hand).

In no way should we be getting all giddy knickers just yet.

I take your point about getting giddy, of course, but you must see how important it is psychologically that we have knocked them off the top of the league, even with them having a game in hand, from a position of them playing us to go 10 points in front. In their heads they'll be feeling an absolute mountain to climb to get clear of us again. You've only got to see how their fans are reacting and that will feed into the team on match day.
The psychological high ground is with us now and that must be something to celebrate.

A scouser who writes poetry. Well I never.
Still swerving the 57 bit! Ah well never mind.

The fuckers 12 short of a 69 er anyway.

 

[Oh YeahOh Yeah]

We had our blip and lost 3 games,the Dippers went 7 points clear and the pressure was then put onto them. It's weird,but the way I see it is, we've clawed back those 7 points,albiet playing a game more,but the pressure has intensified now on the Dippers. Let's see how the handle it with still almost 1/3 of the season to play.

It comes under hate crime legislation IIRC?

But we don't have a blasphemy law, confused about this one.

I had a Facebook post from somebody who was talking about going back to Liverpool to celebrate the title, straight after our Newcastle loss. The next post was some kind of poll declaring Rafa a legend. It has been quiet since, other than my Pellers retort, of course!

We do not want to be like a lot of United and Liverpool fans, with 'back where we belong' celebrations in February. End of the season, yes, and rip the oil jibes to shreds. Until then, humility all the way.
