Rob W 0 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 On a team by team basis we are 11 points ahead of last season Our only rotten result compared to last season (so far) is the away loss to Wigan which equates to the 3 points we got at Saints in 2004/2005 We have no other negative results compared to last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6700 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 The fact of the matter is, we're not actually in a terrible place - the thing is, we're far inferior to where we'd like to be, should be and, lets face it, to where some of us have become acustomed. Things have been a lot worse before, and they may well will be again. I certainly wouldn't swap our predicament for that of Sunderland, Birmingham, Everton or Portsmouth - that's for sure.

Super7 0 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Sunderland, Birmingham, Everton and Portsmouth did not finish 4th, 3rd and fifth in the Premiership, have never played in the Champions League and do not have 52,000 fans every week. You have to look at where we were when Souness arrived compared to where we have fallen to now. A year and a half ago we were in a similar situation to Liverpool - look at us now.

Craig, it's not the position we're in per se, it's the abject performances for over a year now. A team can't keep playing like that and there is no sign of improvement.

I'm as pissed off as anyone that we appear to be slipping. BTW, can I just point out to Super7 that Everton finished 4th last season and were technically in the Champions League?

Super7 0 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Everton's 4th place finish meant they entered the Champions League qualification rounds. They did not qualify for the Champions League and have never been in the competition (many on Merseyside are of course still bitter that they would have been in the European Cup had it not been for the ban on British clubs following Heysel). Remember how disappointed we were when we were knocked out at the same stage? And now you are saying you are happy that we are not quite as bad as last year.

There never used to be a "league" until they decided to make more $$$$$$$$ It was a straight knockout Most people use the CL as shorthand - God forbid we finish up like Aussie Rules with Grand Finals, Super Grand Finals and AMAZING Grand Finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
