Fuck Fat Sham.  This team finds a way.

 

Just get these plazzy-Brummie cunts beat, Reds.

[Megadrive Man]

7-0 is the standard now. Anything less than that is unacceptable. 

[Creator Supreme]

L 0 Fat Sham's Gravy Army 1 (Matip o.g. 90+10)

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Just put a quid on us to win 84-nil.

[Trumo]

Our first game against this lot in the PL was back in 2002/03. They'd just been promoted to the top flight for the first time since the 80s. Baros (who'd started the season in good goalscoring form) and Riise got the goals in a routine 2-0 win to maintain our unbeaten start to the season. The goals are here around the 3:28 mark.

 

 

Atomic Kitten topped the chart for 3 weeks in September 2002 with their cover of Blondie's 'The Tide is High'. I don't really like the Blondie song anyway, but this cover is a typically boring pop production.

 

 

The game against the Baggies at Anfield sees Fat Sam come to town to try and shut up shop once again. His teams rely on us having a bad day as well as referees being jobsworths and breaking the game up to deny us any momentum, in order to get something. If we overcome the possibility of that, we can ragdoll the fuck out of them, boing boing them out of town and send Fat Sam to wallow with his pint of wine and yard of gravy. Just be ruthless like against Palace.

Allardyce is the answer to nothing apart from the question how do you steal a wage ?

[TheDrowningMan]

Although Allardyce carries more than a whiff of a manager whose time has passed, I’m still a bit wary of facing one of his teams soon after he takes charge. We're a different proposition to any Liverpool side he’s faced in the past, of course, and should be capable of swatting them aside while resting a couple of players, but I’m not going to count my chickens until I see a bulldog chewing a wasp on the West Brom bench.

But you never count your chickens!

I spent most of the 90s and 2000s going into seasons thinking title glory loomed against a declining Man Utd side, and we only started to recover when I abandoned all hope. I think my contributions this season to date show that the footballing apocalypse is behind me, but caution remains.

[TheHowieLama]

West Brom will be lucky to find Anfield with Sam in charge.

[TheDrowningMan]

Thinking about it, will this game even happen? Eight days is a long time and given that Johnson is spooked enough by the COVID situation to concede that his Christmas plans were ridiculous, how long until football is again suspended and we have to think about awarding the title to the team on top of the pack?

I don't really see any reason why football can't continue behind closed doors.

Nah. The plebs need their distractions.

Yes we do.

Hoofffffff!!!!!

 

We're fuckin shite. 

[Anubis]

Get in. Steal Sam’s pie, chips and gravy. Get out.

[Grinch]

This game should be on boxing day.  Modern football can fuck right off with this 27th nonsense. 

[Harry Squatter]

Hopefully we can score as early as we did today and wreck fat Sam's boring negative shithouse tactics of playing for a 0-0 time wasting from the word go. 

[Jarvinja Ilnow]

If Naby Keita is to finally contribute something to the Liverpool cause, he needs to sneak into Fat Sam's basement and take a massively large dump in his gravy vat. Every other failing would be immediately forgotten.

[mgw100]

Hopefully the WBA players will be less than motivated by the replacement of Bilic with Allardyce. 

[TheDrowningMan]

I don’t care who their manager is and how much of a spoiler he wants to be, if we can’t beat this fucking West Brom team at Anfield there’s every chance we'll cede the title to Crackle or Howling Mad Pep. They’re not very good, have won one game all season and have decided that the route to recovery runs through an ale-house manager whose career has been on a downward trajectory since 2007.

[Harry Squatter]

I'd love us to twat them 7-0 or more.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

 

This was the training team today, so could be quite a few changes tomorrow.

[Megadrive Man]

Don't understand the need for 5 changes considering the gap between our last game and the next? 

 

West Brom have had good performances against strong opponents this season, we should be going closer to full strength.
