Peter Jones was the Dylan Thomas of football radio commentary. I was about to use 'Shakespeare' instead but that would be sacrilege to a Welshman.

Loved Peter Jones

[Remmie]

Well I think he's a bit of a shit on Dragon's Den

[an tha]

I'm actually happier with the extra couple of days to get City out of our system. Psychologically and tactically, it's a big turnaround to go from playing the best team in the league to playing the worst. I think we'll be prepared for this one; moreso than we would be if it were, for example, on 12:30 on Saturday.

Definitely fair points you make about the extra time and the difference going from best to worst - but as I said there is always the nagging worry with us in situations where we are either under pressure after others results or have an opportunity after others results.

 

Plus isn't our record on Mondays poor?

 

All that said these are dire and we should have too much for them.

[Ginny]

Steam into these fucking cunts and get them bent over grab their cocks and milk their sacks dry!

show us on the subbuteo man where they touched you

What about the football side of it ?

[Bobby Hundreds]

Twat them about 6 nil then on the 80th minute bring on flannigan we need someone to kick them when their down.

[Arl arse]

It’ll be a boring 3 nil win for the Reds.

[Lee909]

Take that all day long

 

To be honest ill take a terrible 1-0 with the ball bouncing in of Firminos arse in the 3rd min of extra time with our first shot on target

[Elite]

Any win will do.

 

Top 4 is going to be very tight but we also have a good chance to get 2nd but it's vital we beat the shite teams.

[Hand Shandy]

Take that all day long

 

To be honest ill take a terrible 1-0 with the ball bouncing in of Firminos arse in the 3rd min of extra time with our first shot on target

As would I.

 

A result like that would, however, prompt wails of outrage from certain elements of our supporters.

That will do for me! I hate the Monday night games!

[Razoray]

And the 92 minutes before that would be such pleasurable reading on this thread. Double win really

[Aventus]

Twat them about 6 nil then on the 80th minute bring on flannigan we need someone to kick them when their down.

Nice

[an tha]

So after Spurs draw we have a chance to open up a 5 pt gap on 5th.

[magicrat]

I'll take any win provided we don't get injuries,

[Jairzinho]

As would I.

 

A result like that would, however, prompt wails of outrage from certain elements of our supporters.

 

3 points and an interesting forum. Win/Win.

[Stickman]

Vital that we win this , I know you shouldn't look too far ahead but Spurs next fixture after this is Utd...

 

(I'm not going to mention they play us after that)

[Barnesey]

Win tonight and at Huddersfield next week and we're 8 points ahead before they play again.

The Guardian did a series ten years back where people did things that they had never done before, in this case Oliver Burkeman going to a football match, a 2-2 draw at Anfield with Aston Villa. It's an entertaining read, but the reason it has stuck with me was this part:

 

 

But Liverpool equalise, and the match stumbles to a draw, prompting much smiting of foreheads: this is, apparently, an embarrassing result for the home team. It takes a very long time to shuffle out of the stadium. As we do, I ask Adam, in a low voice, "You're not really bothered, though, are you? Really?"

 

Adam explains that he does really care, and that the outcome of a Liverpool match has a detectible effect on his mood for several days afterwards. But surely the ups and downs are what make it exciting? There'd be no fun in supporting a team that was guaranteed to win every match 6-0, would there?

 

Actually, says Adam, that would be great.

 

Damn right, Adam. Barring a 6-0 win, there's no pleasure to be had tonight. Any other kind of win will just be misery avoided. Anything other than a win is misery.

 

This supporting lark isn't healthy, it really isn't.

[Ranxerox]

Bottom of the table? We'll batter them 4-3

It isn’t if you can only find pleasure in a crushing victory.

 

I’m looking forward to a good game of football and hopefully 3 points, however they come.

[G Richards]

Day off, nice bit of lunch later with Mrs G and then the match this afternoon in these parts. Come on Liverpool let’s do this.

 

I think we will win well, assuming we have the right effort and intensity, but any win will do.

 

The main part is a win opens up a little gap on Spurs. They’ve been better than us for a few years and if we put that right and bump them out of the top four, it could cause them to wobble. New stadium coming and Harry Kane the star man, who surely won’t stand for not playing in the Champions League too long.

In 2018, the world is split between two types of people.

 

Those who have Mo Salah as their fantasy football captain, and those who have Harry Kane.

 

Do us proud, Mo.
