[Ring master]

Was that the same season we got beat 3-2 at home to Sheffield Unt. after leading 2-0?

Yes. 2nd last game. We were 3rd and stayed 3rd after defeat. Sheff utd moved up one place to 7th after the win

If I remember rightly we drew after being 2 nil up. Our biggest challenge that year was not defeats but we drew so many games. All of this info depends on a fading memory. But I do remember being very disappointed we had thrown the league away that year.

It was definitely a 3-2 loss to Sheffield Unt. in that game after being 2-0 up.

Yep probably I wouldn't trust my memory

…I think Carlisle remain the only club we’ve played in the top flight and NEVER beat. I was at the Goodison game and they played some lovely stuff, they had a winger called Chris Balderstone who was terrific that day, he was also an outstanding international cricketer who went on to be a top umpire.

In fairness to Carlisle they had 29 points when it was 2 points for a win.which is better than the 3 teams we have in the league today with 3 points for a win.

Yes got the train at 4-00pm —station was packed with singing Bluenoses and on the train going there—paid at the gate early and got in and the crowd got bigger and bigger with them coming over the walls and gates—I finished on the tracks behind the goal with hundreds of other young kids—-the game started and the roars, cheering and singing got louder and louder with each goal—-four of them before half time, sadly we never scored another two or we would have been champions. Then the stampede into the pitch at the end— an older fan fan picked me up off the floor after I fell or I might have been trampled to a serious injury, we wouldn’t move ‘til Peter Farrell and the team appeared in the stand to take the roars of jubilant fans, then onto the streets and marching to the station singing all the way then waiting for the numerous trains taking us back to Liverpool and coming onto Victoria Street and marching home still singing all the way home, getting up in the morning fcku school and reading the papers, best of all we were up and Liverpool were down where they would stay for eight long happy years.” Oh what a night”

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the top of the walls and fences were painted in black tar
And the Evertonians used rolled up newspapers etc to protect themselves while climbing over

If Ipswich lose then we are 18 points ahead of the relegation zone with 18 to play

We have +30gd on Ipswich as well

Almost there

If Ipswich don’t win tomorrow we’re mathematically safe.

Nope...they could still catch on goal difference

 

[catcherintherye]

We have been safe for months.

 

[LABlue2]

Reckon it will be less than 30 points to stay up, yikes

 

[Groucho]

We have been safe for months.

Realistically yes

 

[Sam0697]

Reckon it will be less than 30 points to stay up, yikes

The way it's going 25 will potentially be enough
