To be honest, historically I have always hated liverpool. But....its hard not to respect what klopp has done there, the team he has created will probably go down as one of the best ever premiership teams. So yeah, not keen on liverpool usually, but currently they deserve every bit of success they get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paywalled (I think), but here's an excerpt: I think this is why so many of us have stuck with Dean Smith, despite us hovering around the relegation zone all season. The bottom end of the table is just a much higher quality of football than in recent years. You don't look down at the Championship and think that any of those teams coming up would improve the league. Yeah tbh the quality of the prem generally compared to when we were last there is like night and day. Imagine 5-10 years ago some of the teams signing some of the players they have.....mind boggling. Makes it all the sweeter to see the slow demise of manure also, gone are the years when they used to maintain success by just signing the best player from each of the clubs who could get close to them (ie: Berbatov, yorke etc etc). The talent is so diverse now, I mean damn.....look at wolves.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah possibly, but in reality liverpool haven't won the prem (top division) for 30 years, its only literally the last half of last season and this season so far, that liverpool are streets ahead. Think back to 15-20 years ago when manure effectively dominated for an entire decade or more......they were the real dark times in fact it was so bad I'm loving to see manure be only just a top 6 side.....and thats debatable now tbh.....

People still really worried about Norwich? When you look at them still having the likes of West Ham and Brighton still to play at home I'd like them to pick up a few wins. Really they need 20 points to stay up now and they'll simply run out of games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Heres one to ponder. No agenda, just for interest. (Not a prediction !) If you take everyone from Burnley down, take their Form over the last 7 games, ( some would say it’s as reasonable a guide as anything) then apply that Form ( ie points per game) to their remaining games, the final table of those 11 Clubs would look like this.... Burnley 51 Saints 48 Arsenal 46 Villa 43 Bournemouth 43 Watford 43 Newcastle 42 Brighton 39 ————————- Palace 37 West Ham 33 Norwich 28 Edited February 15, 2020 by terrytini 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) I don’t have it to hand. I have the last 5 games. I won’t put all 11 again, we’d have 43 points, the bottom 6 would be....

useless Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 We're eleventh in the form table based on every club's last six games. So relatively speaking, even without including the Norwich result we've still being doing well of late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ll be ok. It’s all in my little books but I started a new one on Boxing Day which is why I went back 7 games. Of course if we’d lost that and won the next one I’d have only gone back 6 ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Despite all the different opinions on Results being different this Season I am as convinced as I have been all Season that a Point per game keeps us ( or anyone else) up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not happening. The more of our rivals they beat, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
