I went to that game, we won 1-0. Forget who scored.

 

Looking out to the right from the side of the ground we were all in you could see over the end of the ground which was an uncovered terrace only about about six steps deep. Behind it were sheep grazing in the fields.

Just checked, Ray Kennedy, thought it might have been.

Spurs or Arsenal within a year or two is my bet. 

I like Nuno, but Potter would’ve been a more interesting appointment for Spurs.

It’s a whole new world taking over a ‘bigger’ club for a manager like Potter or Nuno though. Pressure from the start and lots of Big Time Charlie players who won’t respect him just because they’re egotistical dickheads or sulking because their move to Man City didn’t go through. It could be a disaster for his own career.

That was the first Liverpool game my Dad went to (Carlisle isn't far from where I'm from).

 

Ray Kennedy scored...

And a 20,000 crowd no less.

They must have counted the grazing sheep too.

Yeah I’ve said it before, Potter is a very intriguing young manager.

Someone we would be looking at after Klopp perhaps?

I’d like to see him at somewhere 2nd tier like Dortmund, Leicester, Napoli, Lazio etc first ideally.

Carlisle United topped the old First Division early one season.

Yep, from this LFC History page- https://www.lfchistory.net/SeasonArchive/Game/809

 

 

They were back in the old 3rd Division by 1977. I really hope that happens to Spurs.

I remember that (74/75 I think). They won their first three games. And got relegated.

But they beat the ev twice

Didn't realise that. Another magnificent achievement by our neighbours.

[polymerpunkah]

Ajax up a couple vs. Besiktas--should be 4 or 5.

First (and only) team Carlisle did the double over in the first division. Historic.

Real, there’s a new Sheriff in town.

[Dr Nowt]

Ancelotti losing to a bunch of part-timers?

 

Once Everton have touched you.

[polymerpunkah]

The winner for Sheriff is some goal, to boot.

 

 

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of diving shithouses.

It's great, reminds me a bit of Gerrard's goal against Olympiakos. Great to see that asshole Ancelotti and the Real pricks stunned at the end. Here's the 'official' BT video-

 

 

[dockers_strike]

Real didnt shoot the Sheriff!

How didn't De Bruyne go for this. red mancs kicking off that Bissaka was sent off for a similar tackle, they've got a point.

Fixed it for you mate.

I'm really looking forward to the Man United game tonight because they have to win and if they lose or draw it will be brilliant. 

 

Its not likely because Villareal aren't really that good but it would be fucking boss if United don't win. Anything less than 3 points and they are really in the shit.

I originally had a more conservative team, but I scrapped it, as there were players I just couldn’t leave out.  

 

I’m not totally convinced that that Vardy and Lineker could play together. For me, Vardy operates at his best as a lone striker. My concern is Lineker would get in Vardy’s way, as Lineker didn’t do much running at all.

Gotta be careful here as a loss and he could get fucked off. I was in the office today and I was eavesdropping on a couple of contractors (Utd fans) were on site talking about tonight's game and they said if they lose they want him gone, no comeback from that etc. They then talked about our game last night and were surprisingly complimentary about us but one of them said we're a good team and doing the business quietly apart from Klopp's constant moaning which I thought strange.
