Everyone just going through the motions up and down the league. It’s a very weird season. Liverpools problems have been evident for a while. Their strikers don’t seem to like each other. Little tantrums here and there when subbed. Players snubbing Klopp. All is not well behind the scenes. No crowds. The season started well but most games now are really boring with few goals and little excitement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well South Devon is full of weirdo's... Unlike North Devon where I grew up... All our weirdo's have left Devon looking for work. It is predominantly fans of the major clubs down there (Argyle are the biggest club and they've never been top flight). My family are all Villa fans but no real connection to Birmingham, so it pushes a button when it looks like remote fans aren't as good. It's all good though bud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got lucky last season that all the other big teams had really bad seasons and they took advantage. League is tons better imo this season and they are where they should be. I’m no fan, but they really didn’t get lucky. They were great for two seasons. They got over 90 points 2 yrs in a row. They weren’t the greatest team ever as the media portrayed but they were good and weren’t luck to win the league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know lots of remote fans of many different clubs down here but do find those supporting the likes of Liverpool and Man Utd particularly are really quite snooty about ‘lesser’ clubs and have no sense of humour. The rest seem like normal fans who like a bit of give and take when it comes to ‘banter’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries mate, I know plenty of fans of the 'big 6 teams' (hate that phrase) and some have been known to swap clubs. Some of them are genuinely into the clubs though (you've got to be to out up with the 600 odd mile round trip to go to a game). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have a lot more respect for Liverpool and Utd fans if they were genuine about why they supported them ie “I support them because when I was growing up (80s/90s etc) they were the best side”. It’s superficial, but fair play you’ve followed them since. It’s the ones who come up with excuses that are really grating, and it’s normally those who belittle other clubs. I remember I met someone from Bristol once, and he was a Liverpool fan, when I asked why he supported Liverpool he said that it’s the nearest premier league club to him. Funnily enough when I pointed out that Birmingham is half the distance to Bristol than Liverpool is, he couldn’t give a response. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single London club is about half the distance that Liverpool is from Bristol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I think I saw on one of the channels that every team in the 4 divisions of England have won more games and scored more goals at home in 2021 than Liverpool 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 It's very possible that the last placed surviving team (before a Sheffield United fan pops up, that would be us) finishes above the champions. We are 3 points behind with 2 games in hand, while also having to play them at Anfield which is less of a fortress and more of a bouncy castle these days.

rodders0223 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 If only there was some competition where he could have sent all his lads off for the weekend to recover and stop them dropping like flies with muscle injuries all over the gaff. A not so important cup competition perhaps. One where you were facing a side putting out school kids and lads doing their 11 plus. No. Unfortunate. It is the schedule and lack of 5 subs. Even though earlier in the season you were winning 3-0 and not making a sub. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Oh I would love it if they finished 10th or lower, it’s not even that unrealistic at this point in time either. What a capitulation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Generally these “big teams” get their shit in order eventually and put a winning run together. I’d love them to keep sliding but at some point they’ll smash someone and it’ll spark them into life. Who do they have next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but to be fair it's not the last 6 home games - it's been a 1.5 season long pattern of a steady decline with no view of how things will turn around. They won last year, but as the season went on they were less and less convincing. They will go on a run of 3 wins. But then they will lose to West Ham, draw away at Crystal Palace, win with Brighton, but lose against Southampton. In the meantime, they will get knocked out after drawing PSG in CL Quarters. While it might be most entertaining for us, I can only assume that is not good enough for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
