Are they the ones that look a bit like St Bernards?

More like long haired Newfies, his comes in at about 17 stone and I can’t say it’s the friendliest dog I’ve ever met.

I guess we’ll find out on Sunday if they’re running out of gas.

One of my mates has got a Pyrenees’s mastiff as a guard dog, it’s the size of a fucking grizzly.

Had two great danes when I was a lad (now I have a beagle due to lease restrictions) and my mum has pictures of my sister and her friends taking turns riding one like a horse at a birthday party... when they were 12 or so.

The problem with mastiffs, bernards, great danes, etc. is everyone in the neighbourhood is on edge any time you take them for a walk. Some geezer actually called the police on my dad walking them one night as he thought they were being aggressive toward his wife and daughter (who were literally petting them, as our dogs were incredibly well-behaved).

Would love to have one now if not for most decent buildings in city centre here prohibiting them.

Mane wouldn’t be able to handle them, mind — he’s too kicky-fally for that sort of dog.

I don't think they have ran out of gas, I think the lack of games will tell for them. They seem very stop/start at present and seem to have lost all their groove. We look like a well oiled machine and even if we go behind you believe we will pull it back. The lack of quality throughout their squad will also tell. That midfield is abysmal. At the end of the season when a point is good for relegation threatened teams, that midfield is not breaking down teams defending for their lives.

The midfield is absolutely their weak link.

It'll be a bitter scrap with the rent boy art the helm, a win at home would nail this job on for him and it could give the players real redemption from the shit start to the season they had. My brain tells me it'll be a score draw but my heart wants a thousand scousers hiding in their bedrooms cutting and wailing until the start of next season when it'll be their year again.

A draw would be far from a disaster. One point behind with eleven games to go has to make us slight favourites, although I wouldn’t put it any higher than that.

True but I want everything, I want Spurs to finish second the rags to finish third and the scousers just to scrape CL, I never quite understood why rag fans hated the bin dippers but now it's evident in spades.
But you're right a draw wouldn't be a disaster.

The midfield is absolutely their weak link.

The famed front three aren’t doing a great deal at the moment either. I saw a stat that showed that, in 2019 so far, they’ve scored just 12 goals. That’s one more than Burnley and three less than Palace.

and the scousers just to scrape CL

....or even not scrape it, now that would be hilarious.
