Spurs definitely aren't good enough. Neither are United (even less so than Spurs).
Everton, though, are still a nasty proposition to have chomping at your tail. Hoping for a knackering yet muted draw tomorrow.
Then I'll watch United's almost preferred 11 hiccup to a clanking victory against the worst team in the league.
Ultimate Warrior being sick everywhere was slightly daft but I loved it.
Having thought about some more, I'd prefer a morale-sapping 93rd minute Spurs winner. We still have Spurs to come to Anfield, and Everton don't seem to be going away.
As long as it isn't an Everton win I'll be relatively happy.
I fucking hate West Brom. Never have been able to stand em. They epitomise 'midlands mentality'. Neither here nor there. Always one or the other. Wobbly and inconsistent. Consistent in their nothingness. I fucking hate West Brom.
guys I don't want to post Danny DeVito's gif again
I wouldn't have it any other way
fuck us baby <3
the hate fuels us
We all have to start somewhere Sal.

SAL, What is your stance on the Glazers?

Losing to Napoli at the San Paolo isn't the worst thing in the world. We aren't the first and won't be the last.
Honestly I'm not terribly worried about it. It's annoying the result but it's how we react that counts.
Don't let the OTT comments from GAF concern you. They are irrelevant.
I had a theory that nobody actually supports Fulham and instead they're just a syndicate for neutral premier league watchers looking for a cheap match.
Then I learnt one of my clients is a Fulham fan.
Now I routinely start conference calls running through the fucking weekend.
'ah, Phil, did you see Senderos on Saturday? What was he thinking.'
The three female colleagues fucking love it though, they stare at me smiling and misty eyed like we're speaking Klingon.
Genuinely excited about the Fulham game tomorrow, I was dreading it but I just know one of these days we are going to unleash on someone, we havent hit form once this season, why not tomorrow? Im going to be optimistic if it kills me.
It's about time we slaughter someone. I just hope Moyes tries an attacking formation without the shit wingers and we just swamp them.
Of course...

Haha, that Wes Brown tackle.
happy birthday
I would love to know what he was thinking.
1 goal down after 5 minutes is not so bad. Hull's away form is horrendous, we would have enough to beat them.
1 man down after 5 minutes is a huuuuuge ask against any team in the league considering we are so flaky, the fucking idiot.
This team, on form, should be challenging for at least fourth.
All you need is a chisel to this United team, not a hammer
Bastard.

Colleagues in your sense of the word (denizens of a post-lapsarian glade of arf hnnggg hubba) - not for me.

Suarez urges Coutinho to join Brazil's national team
When he's playing well, he's the differential that Liverpool has. I think he's a big player and is showing that he has quality to play for Liverpool as much as he has to play for BNT. To be playing next to him makes me proud.

hahaha we'd get creamed with that. Not unless Moyes has managed to get Mata and Adnan to track back properly and find Carrick some pace.

You are playing Fulham.
If you can't outscore FUCKING FULHAM with that team you should, as Kyoufu likes to say, GET FUCKING RELEGATED
We have to change the system. Our wingers are absolute dog shit. 3 of the top 6 players with the most assists in the PL and we are still sticking with Valencia and Ashley fucking Young.
4th is gone, I wouldn't mind if we tried this system vs weaker teams like Fulham (stick with your shitty wingers Moyes vs the top teams, you're going to lose anyway) ready for next year when big changes happen.

To be honest, the draw at Southampton was more worrying. But yes. Lets see how we react. We went from 7th to 4th. Maybe a loss to a team like Liverpool will wake us up for the 2nd part of the season.
Only losing to Moyes United would be more humiliating than today.
I fucking love this. I don't really fully understand what it means but I love it nonetheless. A bit like the Universe.
I think it's the phonetics.
Phonetically speaking every post Baki makes sounds exactly like you've stuck a BT Sport microphone millimetres from Sturridge's mouth at this precise moment...

That wasnt a loss
What we witnessed today was a full blown SM charged gang bang on an medieval scale
We should be able to beat a lot of teams still, doesn't happen though.
We do but we don't have the dynamism in the midfield to cover for two players in Adnan and Mata who aren't exactly known for their ability to track back and pressure. It's the reason Young and Valencia get to play despite their lack of ability going forward more often than not.
A loss to Liverpool at Anfield is not humiliating, it's the manner of the loss which is concerning. Arteta provided no cover, man marking was non existent, passing was erratic at best complete lack of urgency but if we react well like we did after City then no problem as in the end it's still only 3 points.

If we didn't break down after the first 2 goals. We could've been back in the game. I saw what could've been and that's what hurts. At Emirates we muffled them at the height of their form. It's a shame we didn't repeat that. Ozil acted like a petulant man child. Fuck. I know he can do so much better. It's just a shame. But yeah, it's 3 points and we are still 2nd.
Nope, Fry.
That's when things go wrong. We're fourth place contenders and nout else. Chelsea and City will compete at the top end whilst Arsenal slip into the cold 3rd place abyss.
Keep focussed. Think of the Champions League anthem and the circular patch on Gerrard's arm and keep focussed.
Yeah I'm cool with that.

It's not my fault that my posts are too intelligible for Liverpool fans that it seems unintelligible for them.
Not sure about Mata, but I think Adnan is doing okay defensively.

A league where the top 3 are all within 2 points distance of each other is a joke. Sure. He should have gone to a one team league instead and be in front with 13 points by now.
