As low as it got for you?

This is the lowest for me. Thought we were back. Fucking cunting FSG

Bad shithouses, most are just Joey Essex types and all the old ones think they are extras in Rise of the Footsoldier.

 

There were at least 20 police officers and another load of stewards dividing the two sets of fans so there was no possibility of them getting filled in.

I'll never forget what a feeling of liberation knowing that H*skey would be leaving gave me. 

That era did lead to one of Dave's top five gags , when after a dreadful game , Heskey said that he was his own biggest critic and Dave responded with ' Not while I'm alive , Emile '

Probably the 2-0 loss to Stoke under Hodgson, they had around 65% possession too. Was really really tough to watch. This current run of form is remarkably shit, but the whole thing seems a farce at the moment deep down.

In the period just before Souness was appointed we lost 3-1 at home to QPR. We made Roy Wegerle look like Pele, Ronaldo and Messi rolled into one. The most abject performance I've been in the ground for; a win would have seen us go top of the league. 

 

I'd agree with you there, Frank.

 

That period after Kenny resigned was filled with the unconscious and then increasingly conscious feeling that it might be over for us at the very top.

 

It started the previous season, with that 3-4 Palace defeat in the Cup... my own personal all-time low point (and being there to see it).

Then less than a year later that Everton 4-4, Kenny's last game.

And then - around the time of that QPR result you mention above - leading 0-4 at Leeds but only winning 4-5 in the end.

 

A defeat, a draw and a win - 12 goals conceded - that summed up our demise.

 

For someone old enough to recall the incessant glory, being knocked off the perch was the low point - and that was Moran's caretaker period in 1991 (which was unfair on Ronnie, RIP)

 

Subsequent embarrassing losses in the ensuing 30 years, well, they were the losses of a club that was a mere shadow of its once-great self.*

 

*Footnote: and in terms of those, I must give a special mention to a 1-1 draw with Wigan at Anfield, where Titus Bramble got the equaliser

Had to post it though. Puts yesterday's performance into perspective. Cathartic, if you will...

Negged by mistake so rep to correct.

Bolton beating us 2-0 at Anfield in the FA Cup in 92/93 I think it was. That David Lee ripped us to shreds, it was freezing and as a young kid I couldn’t get my head round how quickly we’d become so shit.

 

 

 

Bristol City then heralded the end of the Souness error the following season; same round, same scenario of a replay at Anfield after an away draw. Brian Tinnion was the name of the match winner, if memory serves.

It’s always going to be Hicks and Gillett for me. I know it’s away from the pitch but I really thought we were done as a top sporting institution. Still hard to believe it really happened when you think back.

As much as that’s the right answer, there was something about those on the kop stay behinds that I missed when they finally fucked off.

[aRdja]

1. Chelsea-Palace debacle for obvious reasons, followed by...

 

2. Europa final loss against Sevilla. As good a run to the final as any... brilliant wins against Dortmund and United. A sensational opener from Sturridge, and we played the entire first half with a swagger of champions. At half time, I remember going out of the pub for a smoke in Stoke Newington, with loads of reds... and it was vibin’.

This feels bad now because we are still in the nosedive and haven't pulled up yet. This reminds a lot of Rodgers last season - there was also lots of sideways and backwards passing when the team didn't know how to break a defence down. I'm pretty sure there was a midfielder at centre back towards the end of his tenure (Emre Can). 

 

Hopefully we'll see the nose pulled up sooner rather than later.

That fucking fraud Rodgers, “resting” first team players in a Champions League tie against Real Madrid so that we were starting with Borini and Markovic up front at the Bernabeu. 

All to prioritise a league game against Chelsea which we lost anyway.

For all his cod Shankly impersonations, that veneered prick NEVER understood this club.

I’ve blanked out the Hodgson years altogether. Refuse to believe he was ever at Anfield.

Me too. Its remarkable but I can barely remember him being there. A testament to powers of resilience in the human brain. 

[BeefStroganoff]

Now. Just now. Empty stadiums, terrible refs, VAR, double standards from pundits and the media.

 

No one gives a shit unless its Liverpool suffering. Ive started watching the WRC now, at least people can't be cheated and the sport is about pure skill and competition.

One of Stevie's greatest services to the club was deliberately ballooning that penalty at Blackburn to get rid of the Owl.

I remember being gutted losing to Genoa in the Uefa cup 1991 and thinking they looked like world beaters from what was a strong Serie A at the time.

 

We looked light years behind them technically. Which we were

Our next two fixtures could yield bad times indeed

Atmosphere for the home game was something else. Was it Branco scored a worldie that night? Great night despite getting beat.

Some of the worst away days ever during the Souness era, everyone seemed to beat us. 

This, in a nutshell. The 5-1 drubbing at Highfield Road in 1992 (?)was a particular low point at an away game for me.

Anfield in the FA Cup has been the scene of a number of real lows. Souness' teams against Bolton and Bristol City were dreadful, as was Rafa's team against Reading. The worst for me was Houllier's team against Palace. We went 1-0 down and were chasing the game while being in the sort of form we are currently experiencing. Then Heskey was put through in the second half on a one-on-one with the keeper and had so much time and space to pick his spot only to tamely pass the ball straight at the keeper. It was an incredible chance spurned. Henchoz then shanked the ball into his own net at the other end.

 

We have had an awful lot of spells where we can do nothing right.

Weird, i was only discussing this my Mrs the other night as this was the first game i took her to. The weird thing about that Heskey chance was that he picked the ball up well inside our half as i recall it, we were in the Kop so seemed to take forever for him to get there from teh angle we were watching from. I said to the Mrs "he'll miss this" as he was always far better when he didn't have to think about anything, and lo and behold he did. Grim. Odd the way these types of things live long in the memory, but that's probably how i will remember Heskey. In terms of the Mrs, I'm amazed she stayed with me after putting her through that

Wankers mate, mentioned it on here a few times but when they beat us 3:1 there in 2014 one of their cunt fans threw a banana at their own player (Sakho I think) right in the corner near us in the away end. The banana sat there for about 20 minutes until a steward quickly got rid. Utter cunts like all London fans

Think i missed this one but made it the year after for a 1-0 defeat, great.

 

Just been watching the 5-1 on Youtube, jesus we we're getting shafted by the refs back then as well. First 3 goals are a joke.

There have been one or two instances of people being cheated in rallying as well.

 

If you're pretty knew I'd strongly suggest checking out VHS Rallies https://www.youtube.com/c/VHSRallies/featured 

 

Lot's or retro rally action from when I was a lad and before the combo of Sky taking on football and Bernie Ecclestone fucking almost every other motorsport over happened so we actually got way more TV coverage.
