I think it’s a season on season off deal for Liverpool to avoid getting sussed on the drug testing.

Just put talksport on YouTube but that nakka cundys on, has he gave any credit to our management team and players lately?  Couldn't say cos I can't listen to him, off you fuck twato

[Mattoon]

Tbf my Liverpool supporting mates see us finishing 3rd with them in 4th, the man u fans I know reckon 6th and we're holding a false position.

On paper you’d assume it would be Arsenal or Liverpool. I’d rather beat Liverpool than Arsenal to maintain our top 4 ambition.

 

 

 

Hopefully Arsenal are still traumatised and nervous from our win over them at the end of last season

Imagine being told 18 months ago a team with Willock, Longstaff, Joelinton, Miggy, Pope, Burn and Wood would be sitting 2nd on the table.

I’d have assumed we were in the Champo

It's funny looking at comments from 'football fans' on different forums, BBC etc,  do they not know we changed managers a year ago? . surprisingly it was on the man utd red cafe forum yesterday where the plaudits came from, from them and fans of other clubs. Just amazes me that that some people are so thick,bitter or both. Even the cockneys are handing out the plaudits. As for the 'scousers' who follow Liverpool , they really have turned into the man u fans of the past (never been to the north west in there lives).  Can't be underestimated what the management team has done to turn this group of players into the force we're now seeing game after game.

Internet comment sections aren’t always the best place to look, met family before Christmas of various different stripes (mainly Man United and Liverpool) and all of them were pretty glowing in their praise of us and Howe in particular.

Those Manu fans are right, second is a false position as we are going to win the league!

Agree 100% on that! Used to be pub crak back in ye olde times , some certifiable folk out there with access to a computer ?

[GeordieDazzler]

Man United could win both their games in hand and still be a point behind us?

Ive got a brother in law who’s a Liverpool fan and he seems to think we’ll be lucky to finish 7th and our luck will run out!?

It’s not luck that has got us second though.

[Rich]

Let the daft sods keep believing it's all down to luck, for me. People are absolutely clueless.

[King HTT III]

What is so evident now under Howe is how difficult we are to play against. We are tough to play through, tough to play over the top against and even tougher to play across whether that’s from up front, in midfield and especially at the back. We mop up attacks pretty easily at times and we are clearly a nightmare on and off the ball to face.

Agree with this. Most fans I speak to seem to be more positive about our chances than I am and are all massively praising Howe and the likes of Almiron, Joelinton, Bruno, Botman etc. 

 

You do get the odd twat that links it all to money. But you can shut that argument down in less than a minute and they don’t really have any comeback. 

[huss9]

never mind a statue at the ground, there's an erection in my pants for him.

[samptime29]

2 goals conceded first half in 16 games. Incredible. Shows how organised we are. Howe is mint.

Nah it’s bollocks this , according to our rivals we are hated by all.

Defence or conceding goals was always his weak point at Bournemouth, now it’s his strength and he’s stitching that together with attack which was always his greatest strength to great effect and the results show that, the goals scored, the clean sheets, the solidity on and off the ball.

Says a lot that Keegan has the best record out of English managers in the modern era in the PL, despite getting out of the game early. Will always be gutted for him and us that we didn’t get silverware under him. Local hero 

[TheBrownBottle]

Keegan and Evans would have had more games too, due to both the WC being played mid-season and 93/94 and 94/95 being 42 game seasons.

Another fucking bonkers stat; this calendar year we've only conceded 5 league goals at SJP from open play.

 

1 v Watford in January.

1 v Liverpool in April.

2 v Manchester City in August.

1 v Bournemouth in September.

 

All the others have been set piece goals. The last opposition player to score against us at SJP this season was Ivan Toney's pen for Brentford. The World Cup break skews this a bit but still, fucking hell. Especially given the absolute mess we were in 2021.

Mad to think that as well as we're doing, Chelsea conceded just 15 in a season once. I'd totally forgotten that and still held in my head that Arsenal's 17 conceded was the record.

What's even madder is to think about where we were and how we felt when Joao Pedro knocked that header in. If you'd said we'd finish the calendar year in second people would've thought you meant the Championship.
