Good luck Sunday I'd I like to see an Arsenal v Liverpool final as I think it would be an excellent show case final in what so far has been an excellent FA cup season.
I certainly don't discount Reading or Vila or even both from going all the way to the final of course but in an ideal world see you there.
1.) 18 Apr 2015 01:45:56
Last season reds n arsenal fans built up a good relationship on ere. Nice to see g62 keep it goin. Enjoy losin in the final tho haha 2 late goals and us winning 2-1 sound familiar haha. See use in the final g62
{Ed007's Note - Aw bless, looks like that'll be another half n half scarf sold :)
2.) 18 Apr 2015 07:03:55
Couldn't agree with you more Waltonred, as I have the same feeling we are going to win 2-1 with Arsenal scoring first.
3.) 18 Apr 2015 09:27:10
If arsenal score first we won't win, that's for sure (I'll happily take the stick if I'm wrong tho !)
4.) 18 Apr 2015 09:39:14
Cheers Walton mate I think one step at a time and let's both get there safely before we worry about who wins it :-)
I can't help but wonder about the people who hit the disagree button, is that because they want a Liverpool v Reading final or and Arsenal v Vila one so to keep the pressure on Rodger's, bit sad if its the second option
5.) 18 Apr 2015 19:41:13
Can you blame them judging by the way we pretty much rolled over and played dead at the Emirates earlier this month?
6.) 18 Apr 2015 19:44:27
I wouldn't take any notice of the likes/dislikes. as you can click both on the same post. I did with your post thanking Walton, just to prove a point.

Hind sight is a wonderful thing but looking back do you think finishing 4th last season would have been better than being runners up.
I know it sounds like a strange thing to say but 4th would have been steady positive progress without raising expectations to a virtually unsustainable level overnight.
Of course everyone wants to win things but it seems to me without hundreds of millions to spend season after season on fees and wages steady but sure process is better than a sudden boom that almost always leads to bust
1.) 09 Apr 2015 12:21:44
Spoken like a true gooner! Happy with 4th everyear with nothing else ;) I think we all realised we finished 2nd in an awful quality league last year and losing our only world class player without replacing him with all the other teams improving/ getting back to their usual quality & us having the extra games and the loss of the quality all expected to finish lower than last season, it was a 1 off freak of nature and we should have won the league. I'd say we're back to normal but we should expect and try to be better. Brendan isn't the man to bring that. Change it find someone that is. Who it is idk but it's not him
2.) 09 Apr 2015 12:22:20
It's not a strange thing to say. It's a silly thing to do. The higher you finish the better it is. The fact that we failed to build on it is a separate issue
3.) 09 Apr 2015 12:33:16
In hindsight finishing 1st last year would have been better than runners up. It would have raised expectations even higher for this season but I still would take it.
4.) 09 Apr 2015 13:12:40
I like the happy with 4th gunners bit harry :-) we certainly made a habit of it that's for sure, of course every team finishers as high as it possiblely can each season but personally I do think long term something steady and sustainable would have been better for you than a massive leap from 7th to 2nd in a season that was never going to be maintained and could only ever lead people being disappointed.
5.) 09 Apr 2015 14:32:18
Love you to death, gunner bro BUT pls, keep that comment well clear of here because 4th in the end is NOTHING if you have dominated European and English footie as we have for almost 2 decades. It is rhetoric like that that make Arsenal the laughing stock of many and the reason why your club will NEVER win the CL and will continue to be left behind in the PL and never win it as well with that type of attitude. You were top last season and still finished 4th. That should be failure at any big club BUT to many of the fans, it`s a trophy. We should have won the PL last year hands down and you had a chance as well to win it and had you won it and struggled for 4th this year, would you say that? Didn`t think so hence,
6.) 09 Apr 2015 15:05:08
Some of you are being a bit harsh I think, what Gunner is saying kind of makes sense. In terms of our expectations of this season, if we had scraped 4th last season, clinging on to the hope of top 4 this year would be easier. I don't know about you guys but the devastation of coming second outshone the achievement of nearly winning the league. I felt like we had every reason to be hopeful of a title challenge this year, and I trusted BR to build on what we achieved last year. That didn't really happen which makes this season all the more frustrating. Finishing 5th, wouldn't be so bad if it was BR's first season have previously finished outside EL spots. Now I'm (sort of) over the disappointment of not winning the league, I can appreciate that 2nd is a pretty decent achievement when looking at our competition, I think everyone is all the more disappointed at our lack of title challenge this year.
7.) 09 Apr 2015 15:16:00
This season would be no better if last season was worse. The average would just be even lower. That's the only difference.
8.) 09 Apr 2015 16:05:33
I do think if you'd finish 4th last season instead of going so close lots of things would have been different this season and you'd still be looking to repeat it and be in next years CL too.
The panic over Saurez wouldn't have been so urgent without so much expectation around the place and possibly (I'm not sure on this one) but maybe some of your transfers would never have happened at all.
9.) 09 Apr 2015 20:18:10
There was no panic over Suarez because we all knew he was a goner after the WC. It was the manager that messed up with his "kid in the candy store" approach to transfers instead of being much more focused on how we needed to replace not the player, but his goals as well as plan for studge`s annual 10 game absences. The expectations were also raised by said manager as well with his mindless drivel in the media which may end up being the source of his demise because his failures are well documented. Why finish 4th when you can win the PL outright?
10.) 09 Apr 2015 22:33:42
redohio,lol,you slag of arsenal calling them a laughing stock who will never win the prem or CL,and then you say 4th is nothing for a club of liverpools stature as you have dominated european and english football for almost 2 decades,i don't know if its your delusional red tinted glasses your wearing again or if its the medication,but the last time i checked it was 25 years since liverpool dominated anything,this is exactly why people poke fun at liverpool supporters
11.) 10 Apr 2015 17:00:02
Good post the word that clearly highlights what fans of teams like Arsenal seem not to get. Arsenal would have no-one poking fun of them if they didn't think they are winning. The fact that they call 'not winning' winning is what's so funny. There are other things funny about Liverpool true, but at least by and large the majority seem to recognise that you can do well till you're blue in the face - until that doing well becomes an actual win you're not winning. Earning the right to try again doesn't count.
12.) 10 Apr 2015 21:00:51
There is no doubt that by finishing 2nd expectations were raised far more than if we had finished 4th and scraped it on the last day.
20 Mar 2015 19:56:38
Good luck Sunday its your duty to win and climb into the top 4 and send utd one step closer to the Thursday night league.
I realise this will mean you coming to us after the international break aiming to go level with or even go above us (depending on our Newcastle result) but some times you have to put the good of football in general ahead of self interest.
A utd free Champions league is a fantastic thing and you absolutely must play your part to make sure this happens.
Dont think what can football do for the good of Liverpool but what Liverpool must do for the good of football, no pressure there then :-)
1.) 20 Mar 2015 23:20:37
Sounds like a speech from JFK. Bravo!
N BTW, that Walcott of yours seems to have become a greedy cash-grabber. I say, let his poor ass go and we'll see how good he is. Severely poor player, IMO.
2.) 21 Mar 2015 01:08:45
i disagree redohio
when he's fit and in form he is speedy, a constant pest to defenders and the lad can score a goal!
but i do agree that, I don't like greedy players!
3.) 21 Mar 2015 03:50:43
Love the jfk allusion
4.) 21 Mar 2015 06:52:39
That's just the problem MikeD86 i.e. "when he's fit" - which is hardly ever
5.) 21 Mar 2015 07:47:30
Thing is about Theo, he's a threat and a game changer. Say what you will, get him in form and he has the speed to destroy any defence
6.) 21 Mar 2015 08:12:17
Give Theo time its only been 9 years since he went to the world cup :-)
We should cut our losses not just with Theo but a few who are high on potential and wages but very low in delivery on the pitch.
7.) 21 Mar 2015 08:12:18
Oh g62 ure Brown nosing knows no bounds my friend
8.) 21 Mar 2015 08:44:37
Chris even you have to admit the champions league doesn't deserve to have to witnesses utds performances, I know we're angry about some of the EU's rules and regulations but if we impose utd on them we have to expect thier retaliation to be equally as horrible in return and no one wants Eurovision 24/7 on every UK Chanel for a year mate

11 Feb 2015 09:50:12
At this stage last season you were 4th then really kicked on to almost win the title.
With everyone settling down to life without Louie, Sturridge back and Balotelli scoring are you all thinking what I'm thinking your thinking about a Top 4 finish this season ?
1.) 11 Feb 2015 10:29:43
Hi gunner62 at the moment I think are chances are really good are next 2 games could shape are season tho Southampton and city
2.) Gunner were going to win the league.
Agree with cleggy though come out of the next 2 games with at least 4 points then that's our hardest month done with.
3.) I think its going to be very tight Cleggy mate and you've got yourself back in it big style.
Some people think us making it is a foregone conclusion because we always have in the past but as utd proved last season no one has a given right to CL football.
Its going to be interesting and nerve racking at the same time just the way football should be
04 Feb 2015 10:05:17
Just a question, do you go all out to win the Thursday night football trophy in order to try and make next season's CL or concentrate on top four place to get there ?
I know ideally it would be go all out in both competitions but that's going to be a very difficult balancing act to pull off .
Personally I think a top 4 finish is your most likely route to success as in all cup competitions even over two legs one bad performance can seal your fate where with the league its about consistency
1.) Our squad is massive. If Rodgers can't compete in both he isn't up to the job.
2.) Top 4 finish. We were abysmal in every European game. Couldn't beat Basel and scraped past ludogorets. What are the chances of beating another 6 teams!?
3.) In my opinion the premier league route is a 2/5 near half Marathon where a couple of bad games are recoverable from but the Europa is a 1/32 lottery played on a Thursday making the league route more difficult
4.) The question is where is more money? I think Top4 wins.
5.) For me if we make it into the semis of the uefa cup then we should go all out for that.
Better to win a cup and get CL, rather than just top 4
6.) I've stated from the start I don't see us getting top 4. The problem is if we field a severely weakened team in the europa league, we might face scrutiny from UEFA, if we play a semi strong squad or full 1st team, that weakens our chances of winning Sunday games statistically.
If you want to call it a lottery that's fine, but in that lottery you haveBruge, AAB, Inter, Anderlecht, Torino Guingamp, salzburg, Celtic Who I would expect at some point to be knocked out by the semis, if they cause an upset great, it means they have to up themselves for another 2 matches after knocking out a stronger team.
Whereas the premier league is 7 games vs Spurs, Everton, Chelsea, UTD, Arsenal, City, Southampton guaranteed.
7.) 04 Feb 2015 12:29:40
We have the squad to do both, but can't see us getting 4th, although I'd like to give it a good go all the same, so Europa League for me! I'd also like to win the FA Cup, as it's a cup competition we're still in and we're in it to win it! Tonight's match will prove how the management feel about this competition, but can see us putting out a strong side, as it's a cup at the end of the day!
8.) I thought you'd struggle to make top four in August bob but the fact that everyone below city and chavs have struggled too has kept the door open for you.
Your results have picked up lately and Sturridge on the way back to full fitness can only mean goals and point's i think.
I'm hoping the emergence of Le Coq is going to help us move up a notch during the run in and I think with Liverpool now adapting better to life without Louie and getting Danny back could do the same for you
9.) 04 Feb 2015 13:25:43
I think it would be best if we all accept that our chances of CL football next year are slim to nil. More likely to end up in the Europa league again.
10.) I'd want us to do as well as possible in all competitions we are part of. If we win the euro league i will be happy because it is a trophy and i like it a lot when we get one of those. The Champions League will be a bonus. Top four is going to be very difficult - we may not be that far off but the fixtures look difficult. Take a look on the games we have left. I think it is beyond us this year. So be it.
11.) Half way through the season, starting to click, 5 points off 4th. I'm not worried, we'll make top 4.
Southampton don't have the depth to continue this push. United are hit and miss, Tottenham too. Arsenal look good vs the little teams, but don't they always? And I think City/Chelsea is set in stone. Everton won't be a problem.
12.) I think our chances for top 4 are still good.
We've still got a lot of room for improvement so we should still only go one way.
So to be only 5 points of is good.
Id fancy arsenal to get 3rd with us grabbing 4th spot.
Southampton will drop and I think when the going gets tough spurs and united will.
13.) 04 Feb 2015 16:44:42
Ironic isn't it Gunner? Both our teams suddenly look 5 times better the minute we started to play an actual defensive midfielder in the defensive midfield role rather than makeshifts and adaptations. Who would have guessed?
14.) Jones, Toure, Lovren, Enrique, Manquillo, Allen, Gerrard, Ibe, Borini, Balotelli, Lambert not to mention the young'uns (Rossiter, Williams, etc.) and those that don't play every BPL game like Johnson, Moreno. I think we can progress far enough with those players that we won't wear everyone in the squad out by playing 2-3 times a week. If we were still in the CL (which we should have been except for some personic performances), everyone would be happy with the squad we have.
{Ed002's Note - If folks are going to list teams etc here it will all get deleted. Go to the tams page for that stuff.}
15.) Totally agree hjikle mate, I've been a neg head all season because we didn't do in the summer the one thing that we had to do above all others and sign a real life DM.
Then Mertaducker almost drove me completely over the edge against you and Stoke with his self folding antics but Le Coq ridng to the rescue has given all a lift players and fans alike, it showed against city when the players didn't go on the pitch beaten before a ball was kicked

Every now and then a manager emerges who is capable of great things without great resources, all you have to do is find the next one this summer, not easy but he's out there somewhere.

In the words of George Bush
" you can fool some of the people some of the time, and its them you should concentrate on '
25 May 2015 11:58:37
But surely this was evident from word go when in his very first game where you were ripped apart by west brom and Rogers told the players in the changing room after the game
" we were the better team today and unlucky not to win "
No one believed what he said that day and it showed from day one he was delusional.

When I first joined this site I thought it was coincidence that things I'd googled appeared in the ads because I thought we all got the same adds :-)
Its amazing just hoe stupid I can be at times :-)

Cheers Burkey mate, I've always been admirer of Liverpool for lots of reasons, Shankly I loved to bits (still do) the brilliant way the club went quitly about its business of being the absolute best for years with fantastic dignity and humbleness.
Jimmy case getting the ball wedged between the railings in a European game under the lights and most of all the reception and respect we got when we beat you 2 0 to nick the league that night lives long in the memory, very few fans would be capable of that.
