Donut Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Ive just watched Stoke v Arsenal, a decent 0-0 with excellent performances from Butland and Cech. But I noticed the atmosphere being poisonous. If Stoke fans really were singing "Aaron Ramsey, he walks with a limp", this must be the most classless chant ive ever heard. I know its the Stoke fans, and the game would be better for Stoke City not existing, but to actually sing that at a game of football is a whole new low.
st albans fox Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Only 2 points better off than soton were at this stage last season. need to push on again now.
Fox92 Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Cech was superb. Any title winning side always need a good goalkeeper and Arsenal certainly have one at last. Worth about 10 points this season.
Rincewind Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Thought Liverpool were a little unlucky not to get anything. Dominated the game to have Rooney make one contribution by scoring. Although that is all he needs to do.
Webbo Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 image.jpg Only 2 points better off than soton were at this stage last season. need to push on again now. Totally irrelevant but we're 5 points better than Arsenal were last season .
ScouseFox Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 image.jpg Only 2 points better off than soton were at this stage last season. need to push on again now. yes but they were 3 points clear of 5th and had a big chasing pack of top teams, we're 7 points clear of 5th and there's pretty much nobody else even in the running for a CL spot.
Fox92 Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Nice gesture from Everton who are paying for their fans' tickets in the semi final of the league cup following the traffic problem which caused their fans to be late for the league game on Wednesday night.
Corky Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Arsenal could look at their dropped points against West Brom (missed penalty) and Norwich so it's all swings and roundabouts. We started the week 2 points behind, we're now level. Plenty of games to go, points to be won and lost.
ScouseFox Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 liverpool have picked up 19 points and scored 16 goals in the 14 games since klopp took over. just 2 wins in their last 8. going backwards. such a vastly overrated, unfunny clown of a manager. today in their biggest game of the season he brought on a defender on loan from the championship and put him up front. for all the stick van gaal gets for the long ball to fellaini, at least he is a) a proven premier league footballer and b) has scored some goals in his career. klopp is a buffoon, quite simply his pathetic attempts to be funny in interviews are the only reason he too hasn't been sacked already.
Webbo Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 liverpool have picked up 19 points and scored 16 goals in the 14 games since klopp took over. just 2 wins in their last 8. going backwards. such a vastly overrated, unfunny clown of a manager. They beat us.
Corky Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 They beat us. Raised their game against the big club.
Wymsey Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Thought Liverpool played better today. Their attacking is better than their defence, but still slightly woeful. Get quite frustrated when Henderson shoots, as he never hits the target. Man Utd are perhaps one of the most boring teams, alongside West Brom.
Super_horns Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 I know its the Stoke fans, and the game would be better for Stoke City not existing, but to actually sing that at a game of football is a whole new low. They seem to hate the fact Ramsey and Wenger complained about their club after that incident.. It was 6/7 years ago though so you might have thought they would get over it...
Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 They seem to hate the fact Ramsey and Wenger complained about their club after that incident.. It was 6/7 years ago though so you might have thought they would get over it... Like Deeney day?
Guest Col city fan Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 To be fair to big Rooney, a few weeks ago he looked utter dross. He's turned it around again. That game again shows that there are no sides in the Prem this season who are miles better than anyone else. I still think Man City will clinch it. But at a push.
AKCJ Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Like Deeney day? Except nobody is complaining about "Deeney day" or whatever other horrendous name you want to give it.
Harry - LCFC Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 yes but they were 3 points clear of 5th and had a big chasing pack of top teams, we're 7 points clear of 5th and there's pretty much nobody else even in the running for a CL spot. Your confidence is always heartening, Scouse. Keep it up
ScouseFox Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Your confidence is always heartening, Scouse. Keep it up just being honest. i personally wouldn't have stoke, west ham and palace as champions league challengers, we really should be ashamed if any of them finish above us from this point. so that leaves us, city, arsenal, spurs & united, with liverpool 13 points away and going backwards. so i'd say again, if liverpool turn around a 14 point gap in 16 games (bare in mind they've only got 20 points from their last 14 games, so if we win two games more this season and they perform as they have been doing, we'll finish above them) and finish above us we should hang our heads. therefore, imo and the stats point towards it being 4 from the top 5. of which we currently have more points than any? we're in pole position for at least a top 4 spot, everyone can scaremonger all they like but one look at the table, the stats and the fixtures left shows you we have to perform massively under par and other clubs will have to "turn their season around" for us to not be playing barcelona away next season.
Super_horns Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Like Deeney day? Well true but you aren't going to boo him?
Babylon Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Just remembered we've only lost 3 of 31 premier league games... Ridiculous I'm still a bit disappointed!
WesMorganGod Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 personally thought the Stoke vs Arsenal game was poor, very little quality, it was so scrappy.

Truth be told I usually take a positive outlook on our situation in any given season. I believed we could turn things around last season and in the 12/13 season. It's just this season where I've noticed myself telling myself and others that we probably won't do it, possibly because it feels like we're not in our 'correct' place where we are now. You probably are right. Our lead likely isn't as vulnerable as I think it is and we should have enough quality to hold on to it. But I just know it'll take me a while to start thinking that, if I ever do!

But I just know it'll take me a while to start thinking that, if I ever do! i don't think it's as much people underrating us, we're bound to lose points at times this season, i'd argue it was the overestimation of the teams below us. southampton (in 10th) are the only team to not drop points in the last 5 days in the whole league. yet people think that for some reason man united are going to win like 8 games in a row and suddenly be 10 points ahead of us? nah not for me. every single team in the whole league bar one has dropped points in their last two games. people seem to think we'll be the only ones dropping points in our next 4 matches which is just silly.
