Ideally, perhaps, we might wish we were paid sufficiently well enough to be able, in good faith and only very very occasionally, to work on a weekend or bank holiday without extra pay.
Wishful thinking perhaps.

Not like this. Like that.

The 77 cup final, the worse result against these ever, robbing us of the treble, is on a par with this. I still have the scars from 77.
I still haven't recovered from it, and have never trusted a fixture against them ever since.

But they were shit in this game, that's the point. None of this "form book goes out of the window". It has done in the past, for both sides. We've won games we had no right to based on the league table, but we did it by raising our game.
That's not what happened here. They were shite and were really easy to play against. Not winning that game is all about us, nothing to do with anything they did.
That might well go to my point as well as yours though, dave.
They were shit and still managed to score 4 goals.
Just like we were an ordinary side last year, but looked like Real Madrid 1960 against them when we scored 7.
Then, who would have predicted 0-0 at Anfield earlier this season too.
These games, this rivalry is mercurial.

Exactly. You would have thought people should know this by now. But I guess what has skewed our expectations is the 5 nil win at Old Trafford and 7 nil win over them at Anfield. Since the 7 nil especially, too many of our fans have gone into games against Man Utd with the mindset of "we're battering them".
Yes, we should expect to beat them because we are far better than them but too often, our games against them don't go by that reality. It's just the way it has been for a long time even when they've been better than us they struggled at Anfield most times. We've only won twice at Old Trafford in almost 9 years of Klopp's reign. People need to acknowledge the unique thing this rivalry brings with it.
I've dreaded playing them since the '77 Cup Final, when they beat us when we were arguably the best team in the world.

Man United were already a dead parrot when Klopp arrived here.

I just don't get the "we'll beat them because they're shit" thing.
I mean, yeah, we're the better team at the moment, but when we play each other all bets are always off.
There's always the chance of an unexpected result.
And anyone who thinks they won't be going crazy to fuck up our season in a couple of weeks... brace yourself.
We should win. I really really hope we do.
But it's no guarantee. Against them. Ever.

Haven't seen David Fairclough come off the bench recently.
Is he injured?

I’d expect no less from a middle aged Aussie. Let’s hound the bastard out.

Calm yourself. I think you're reading a bit more into my response than I put there. I just meant it doesn't really matter.
Sorry sir.

Who cares?
Did I say I care?
Do you have to care about everything you are curious about?
But sure, you're right. Who cares?
I'll try and be sure I only post about things I care about in future.

I was having this discussion with my wife last night and we couldn't work out the contemporary answer:
If a man who identifies as a woman is in a relationship with another man, is it a heterosexual relationship?

It's always a big deal when there is a perceived injustice that we benefit from - and there is always such outrage. But when it is other way round little is said and of course social media is just full of 'cry more' dickheads calling us 'victims' etc.
Fuck them - all of them.
We are everyone's cup final. Absolutely everyone thinks we are their rivals and hates us and they try their hardest to raise their game against us all the time and are far more aggressive in their approach to us on and off the park than our rivals, including with how react to decisions etc. We are the biggest scalp in England bar none.
I'd take it as a compliment.
Not sure why we're arsed getting wound up by what their supporters and staff are kicking off about.
We won.
Who cares about the rest.
