Relegation

[matty1878]

But it is pointless feeling pain of relegation if it does not happen. It is a waste of energy.
Worry about it, we all do, but going round telling everyone we are down is pointless.

it’s my way of dealing with it hoping deep down we don’t go down!

All on Michael Keane…feel safe

It's on the fans to keep his confidence up. I feel pretty confident they will.

Keane is usually steady at home...it's away games that he turns into the German defence in the 2nd half of Escape to Victory.

Maybe, but we've never retained the title at any period on our history, so the idea that they were our strongest ever teams lack conviction (i'm referring to the wars here, by the way).

I think the 1938-39 would have had a good chance of doing something special but for WW2.
We were pretty close in 63-64 but the Tony Kay episode derailed us at the death.

I am annoyed that we did not do the double/treble in 1984/85 which was still an incredible feat and would have made us only the third club to do it since the League’s inception…the accolade then fell to our lovable neighbours in 85/86.

I think that every scenario left that leaves us and Burnley on the same points means that Burnley will have better goal difference than us.

Yes, unless we somehow score an extra few this week or they concede a few. As @MACCA75 just pointed out, if level on GD then we would go through on goals scored. That would be too much for anyone to handle

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

it’s leeds mate us and leeds for who’s guna do it

Or Burnley

Goals For
Then results in games against each other

Yes, which apparently we are winning at...how have we scored more goals than any one ffs?

Aston Villa has their last home game against Burnley. So that should be a plus for us.

The 2nd half of the 80s is disappointing, despite the ban, i don't think anyone predicted that we'd only win one more trophy for the rest of the decade.

Perhaps I'm just overthinking things, but it's the Gerrard - Kopite link that concerns me.
Given that Villa have hardly anything to play for, he might opt to go for a weakened side with youngsters getting a chance against Burnley and rest their best players for the City fixture at the weekend to boost Liverpool's chances.

 

[roy vernon]

They were regarded as second rate compared to Everton.

That's because the FA Cup was the bigger deal back then, and we'd won it 3 times and they hadn't won it.

We also had the better stadium and more cash.

Everton have been the dominant club in the city far longer than Liverpool have.

The story that used to be told, up until1965, was that if Liverpool won the cup, the Liver Birds would fly away

 

[cjuk87]

Doesn't change anything as Burnley have +2 goal difference on us.

Unless they get whalloped 3/4 - 0 we really want to be going all out attack Thursday

My view is, if we don't get the win tomorrow and we draw. We basically need to go to Arsenal and play 10-0-0. Defend for our lives and frustrate them. Something we've been superb at doing against the bigger teams. Then we can assess the other live results during the match.

A win tomorrow is perfect.
A draw means we need to have a plan to stop Arsenal and hope the other results come in.
A loss means we're essentially praying on one of the others losing.

Dont think he can do that tbh, he'll want to finish as high as possible with Villa, think were over thinking things with him, he has a job to do
im more concerned about brentford downing tools for leeds

Wow, great comeback, well done. 15 major trophies ever??? Yeah, amazing. Chelsea has won more than that in the past 20-odd years. But yeah "we had loads of money in the 60s and they called us the Millionaires" (as if this is something to brag about).
