I can't believe there isn’t a football thread so here it is. I’m a Liverpool supporter who has been starved of “success” over the years and hoping the Rafael Benitez can put together a team that I can have some faith in. Even though we won on Saturday in many ways it was a fortunate victory as we were very poor in a lot of areas. A better team than Fulham would not have allowed us back into the match. We do not have the ability to create chances for our forwards especially away from home and they need to work harder and move of the ball better.
As for Arsenal can anybody stop them?? On current form the answer is no. I believe that if ManU don’t beat them next Saturday then they could go another season unbeaten.
Anyway hope to talk some more footy with other supporters.

Very depressing for anyone of a Scottish persuasion at the moment. (
Good to see Chelsea get beaten at the weekend.. here's hoping Arsenal will flatten the Mancs on the weekend as well.
Mr PP must be feeling pretty good right now.. Spurs are playing pretty well this season!
Nessie - I'm Scottish too.. very depressing International scene right now - I reckon we'll be well shot of Vogts after this board meeting they're trying to organise. I hope it'll be Strachan - we may well keep on losing, but at least he'll be entertaining!! The Tartan Army is badly needed at Germany 2006, so I suggest the national team start wearing kilts "the traditional way" and strategic use at free kicks may put the opposition off :-))
by the way, Biscan looked like all his Christmas' had come at once yesterday.. I was laughing my socks off!
As Dandy says, he'll be entertaining.
I suspect we'd need divine intervention to get to Germany though.
I don't know if the @rse will necessarily go another season unbeaten if we don't do them but I do know they can win the Premiership next weekend.
For me it's not about the points and the maths at this stage of the season, it's about the pattern developing. Chelsea aren't getting enough goals and we're nowhere near consistent enough. Even if the ar$e do drop a few games I can't see either of us capitalising.
(A couple of midfielders and a striker wouldn't go amiss either.)
Stylish I would much rather be out plodding, but my legs are killing me!! I did the womburn 10k yesterday (nobody mentioned the first 6k being all s*dding up hill!!!)
I've been a season ticket holder with Man U for over 20 years. I've seen some shite, relegation, Paddy Roach, Ralh Milne (Who???)
I,ve also seen some of the best football ever. The last 10 years or so have been like a dream. However.................I know how Arsenal fans are feeling right now. Unbeatable, always going to be entertained, the best in the country.
It pains me to say it but Arsenal are fantastic at the moment.
We can beat them on Sunday as we can beat anyone on our day but I can see Arsenal dominating english footy for a few years.
Higs - Yeh I wan't Manu To win only so that It gives everybody else a ray of hope. But the Arse are in another league at the moment.
Nessie- (A couple of midfielders and a striker wouldn't go amiss either.)
I heard Archie Gemmil was being talked out of retirement.LOL
"Stylish I would much rather be out plodding, but my legs are killing me!! I did the womburn 10k yesterday (nobody mentioned the first 6k being all s*dding up hill!!!)"
I know how you feel, mine are killing me too. Just remember a hard run is followed by an easy one. Next time you do a 10K it will be a PB, the benefit of those 6K's uphill.
i'll be at old trafford too and agree about the arse.they will dominate fora while but sport goes in cycles and ours will come round again.however the performances against b'mingham and middlesboro were hardly inspiring!
In the immortal words of some bloke off't telly, I hope you get stuffed by the Arsenal. It's only a game, though
Stylish - I'm not confident, but I'll certainly feel better about the Depor game if we put our 2nd half team out! As far as I can tell we're at least 3 months from the point where Rafa should have his team out (rather than the current makeshift houllier-benitez product!). Still reckon we'll be in a race for third by Christmas though - with Man Utd. Can't wait to see what this Nunez lad does for the team, though.
met an awful lot of part-time scouse reds especially in the 80's.think they are supporting some team from north london now.
have no objection to liverpool fans wanting us to get stuffed,it's the same the other way around....i was cheering when mickey thomas scored for arsenal..sad but true.:)
Kirkland
Josembi Carra Hypia Riise
Garcia Alonso Hamman Kewell
Baros Ciise
I don't think that Garcia can play any where apart from behind a front man or two.
In the absence of an alternative I would play Kewell there and Warnock of the left.
Or maybe Finnan on the right.
Nunez is about 4 weeks away from playing. I think we will also sign Vista in the January window. Don't be surprised to see Gerrard go then to if we are well behind in the EPL and Alonso is doing the business.
Stylish - that is the team I reckon he'll put out. I don't think Finnan will make the starting 11, but will be on the bench along with Dudek Biscan Traore Diao and Flo-Po.
All this talk about the Premiership is pretty dull. I marvel that people can get excited about these celeb teams, full of badge-kissers who don't really give a toss about which club they play for.
But don't get me started on that...
thing is, no one argues anymore about the Premiership since the Arse started on their boring 49 match run - it's now all over bar the shouting.
ManYoo, well the bubble has burst. What was a good unit with young enthusiastic players and a good academy has run away with itself. I know I will probably be proved wrong but a front 4 costing £XXXM couldnt score in Brixton at the moment. Ferguson for the chop maybe?
Spudz seem to be shaping up now, although they dont seem to be scoring that many. They will be a hard team to beat this season.
My dark horses are Boro. They have a really good manager who one could say is still developing, and a good side. Funny how Chelski get shot of Hasslebank when they sure could do with him now.
I think Liverpool are showing flashes of brilliance and er flashes of sh!te. I do hope they do well just so that Alan tw@t Hansen can have his comments shoved up his ass at the end of the season. Liverpool or Everton for 2nd per-lease as we sure could do with a scouse team up at the top again.
"Mine eyes have seen the glory"
I was talking to an Arsenal fan on the walk back to the Tube and he said
"The problem now is that we get disappointed when we don't score more than 3"
My response "Mmmm, I can see how difficult that must be for you!!!"
Nice to see a fan of a proper team on here!
