It was a direct dig, quoting the last team to have such a (specific) downturn, the season after winning the title. We don't mind opposition fans on here (even you lot), if you behave yourself. We're okay with discussing the merits of A, B and C with you. Just leave the digs out. I wouldn't dream of going near RAWK on any subject, never mind something like Gerrard's slip. Or Allison's fuck up last weekend. Bear that in mind.It wasn’t meant as a direct dig like you think, more offering some context to the situation. Anyone can see that we’re not the ‘worst defending champions ever’, we’re a team that’s been ravaged by injuries and inevitable dips in levels. It’s not entirely dissimilar to you last season and I mean that with total respect. The levels you'd reached over the previous few years were phenomenal. A dip was always going to happen to you and us. If you look back at my previous posts, I’ve never been one for sly digs or whatever even if this hasn’t always been reciprocated. But of course I’ll stick up for my team, that’s what fans do. That we don’t always view or interpret the game in the same way is to be expected but I like to think I’m always fair. Credit where it’s due and that’s exactly how I saw this match. One team took their chances in a game of very few indeed between two sides fairly well matched. There’s no problem this side, that’s football.
I’m a bit concerned as to why you would even need to check my IP address but yes, you’re correct there, I live over the water.His IP address suggests that he's not very far away from Liverpool, to be fair.
Well, my MO on here has only ever been to talk about the footy rather than slanging matches so rest assured there was no malice behind it & apologies if it’s come across that way. I just thought it was a completely ridiculous statement to make and a bit of context was needed.

We check IP addresses VERY occasionally, to see if people are claiming to be something that they may not actually be.I’m a bit concerned as to why you would even need to check my IP address but yes, you’re correct there, I live over the water.
Who was the last team to finish runner up eighteen points behind the winners the season after triumphing? This season will never ever be used as any kind of barometer as to where teams are up to, far too many aggravating factors in play.
Haha...fair tackle. Just seemed a little draconian for a second.We check IP addresses VERY occasionally, to see if people are claiming to be something that they may not actually be.
Christ, no. Compared to other forums, we're pretty laissez-faire on here. RAWK and RedCafe are infinitely stricter than we are on here.Haha...fair tackle. Just seemed a little draconian for a second.
I can’t believe any Pool supporter (with a little footy knowledge) thinks Sunday was anything other than a good spanking?? Think some are putting too much emphasis on how the game was commentated on & reported and believe they where actually in the game. Make no mistake this was a Pep masterclass, we conceded one chance in our area in the first half, that may not entertain the cretins on comms who wanted a bloodbath in the first twenty minutes, but it’s exactly how Pep would’ve planned it. Possession stats where used to try & show Liverpool as being dominant, which was swallowed by the masses. As for the second half, they had one pot shot from the edge that was well defended & a hoof ball leading to a dive & soft pen. After that we systematically tore em apart, those mistakes where forced on their keeper by our relentless energy & Pep’s decision to switch to 2 up top, when the rest of the football world catches up & realises what actually took place we’ll already be champions
