Does anyone else find it interesting that Liverpool have only managed anywhere near that level of performance on three occasions over the last few months and on each occasion we were the opposition.

This is normal. When a basically good side struggles for form, it is often the case that they find it when confronted with another top side: they are “forced” into it.

Or perhaps the pallet load of inhalers arrived on friday. Somehow I can't see the likes of Milner reproducing the same form on any sort of consistent basis against anyone else, you'd think they were trying to invent some sort of rivalry.

TBF Milner had f*ck all to do. He won’t have an easier right back game all season, if and when he’s picked, which won’t be often.

Our clubs official site referred to it as a 'local derby'...

Pissed me right off that did.

They seem to leave it all on the pitch against us, then flop in the games after, can see them slipping even further pre World Cup. They beat us in the cup then lost out in the league & CL, then beat us in that friendly, embarrassed themselves with their celebrations, and had their worst start to a season in years, might almost be worth losing to them just to see them get ahead of themselves & inevitably fail

Have Liverpool apologised for their vile fans singing about the death of the Queen on a number of occasions? The club should tell them to do one, and when they get there, do another.

Amazed the Union Bears didn't have a word about that at Ibrox

 

[VOOMER]

They have the smallest pitch in any division in the four divisions. Its perfect for hoof ball and ageing players. Have a good look at the sides of the pitch from the game footage, stuff is thrown from all sides.

The Sports reporting at the BBC is shocking and we are forced to fund this tripe..

Martin Keown amused me on Match of the Day, talking about the West Ham game.

He was whinging that they won’t allow “us” ( ex players ) to be part of the VAR team. And then literally in his very next sentence showed a complete lack of knowledge of the laws of the game by insisting the referee should have stopped play when he got in the way of a West Ham player in the lead up to the Southampton goal.

The capacity was probably less than 34,000 in the third tier. I am not sure on the timings of the attempts to shoe-horn a few extra seats into Maine Road but I had the impression that the home support capacity was around 30,000 at the time.

The number of visiting supporters at the time was probably not high.

I understood that you could only get a ticket with a membership card. On my visits in the mid-1990s, I always asked a friend to get the tickets.

The interesting fact is that City were enjoying better support when struggling in the second and third tier than they were getting when around the top six of the PL under Peter Reid.

I don’t think Oasis being the biggest band in the country and the Gallagher’s wearing City shirts did us any harm at the time in attracting new fans. Quite a lot of students started going to Maine Road around that time as tickets were cheap and easy enough to get.
