John Carew the actor :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did he have to remind us about the Valencia game in 2001? :sick:

[Master Splinter]

Is it mandatory to call him Big John Carew at all times?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He has been adopted by England so pretty much.

Maccy, you can c+p the teams/subs from each club's Twitter page.

BBC. :lol:

They just got lazy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Depressed Theo in the studio. :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sturridge unselfish to a fault there. Fonte able to get ahead of Suarez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horrific touch from Rodriguez, would've ran in to a little bit of space otherwise.

Flanagan scroting it up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton play so intensively.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton 0-1 Liverpool, Suarez.

Brainfart from Fonte.

[selassie]

If we don't win PL which is looking increasingly likely I would like to see Liverpool win it. They are real dark horses for the title IMHO and have City & Chelsea to come to Anfield too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lallana hits the post! How?!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lallana clears another.

Liverpool getting hemmed in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schneiderlin volleys over.

Southampton will surely score soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible from Henderson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rodriguez. :doh:

What a chance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton 0-1 Liverpool, HT. Southampton have ballsed this up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lambert did very well to get a corner out of that.

Davis off, Ramirez on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great dive from Sturridge!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lallana curler, rather tame and so very easy for Mignolet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great work from Lovren, thought for sure Suarez was going to play it across goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coutinho off, Sterling on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton 0-2 Liverpool, Sterling.

[Özim]

Just seen Pardew incident :lol:

Pardew the Vinny Jones of management!

[Özim]

Sterling, Suarez and Sturridge are just unbelievable, those three are scoring goals left right and centre for Liverpool.

[Özim]

Pardew incident if anyone is interested:

[Marc Overmars]

:rose:

[Marc Overmars]

Sterling, Suarez and Sturridge are just unbelievable, those three are scoring goals left right and centre for Liverpool.

Just imagine how good they'd be with Sanogo as well.

[Özim]

Just imagine how good they'd be with Sanogo as well.

The dream team :cloud9:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fonte helping Suarez out.

[IBK]

Sterling, Suarez and Sturridge are just unbelievable, those three are scoring goals left right and centre for Liverpool.

...while we struggled to a draw against the same team.

[Master Splinter]

...while we struggled to a draw against the same team.

........while we beat them at home

........while Liverpool lost to them at home

This sort of thing is stupid.

[IBK]

........while we beat them at home

........while Liverpool lost to them at home

This sort of thing is stupid.

No its not. Football is all about impetus, and for all we might hate it - Liverpool went into this potential banana skin with more momentum than we did - and the indications are that they can last the pace better than us...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Liverpool.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton 0-3 Liverpool, Stevie Me.

[GP]

........while we beat them at home

........while Liverpool lost to them at home

This sort of thing is stupid.

Pretty much.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-3 FT, Liverpool in to second.

Fuck sake Wenger.

[Master Splinter]

It's inane and irrational and always occurs after a bad result, not just from you.

Another 'what does this result show us thread' would probably suffice rather than letting your emotions spill out into every thread.

Football is an emotional sport. Once you suppress reaction to individual results it becomes an accounting exercise. But if you can't see that Liverpool are maintaining momentum while we fail to confound our critics time and time again, you are fooling yourself.

[Master Splinter]

0-3 FT, Liverpool in to second.

Fuck sake Wenger.

Fonte seemed to be playing for Liverpool. Did he set a record for mistakes today? If Suarez was feeling clinical, it could have been 0-9.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton went to pieces after the second goal. Not helped by Ramirez coming on and having a stinker though.

[Xhaka Can’t]

He didn't say anything about momentum - he specifically mentioned the tendency for people to talk about specific results against specific teams which is pretty much meaningless 99.9% of the time - as was graphically spelled out in his first reply to you.

[IBK]

He didn't, but I did originally. There's a tendency on this forum for posters to try to take an intellectual or moral high-ground over so-called reactionaries. Well being reactive may be stupid when it goes too far, when it is measured it is every bit as valid as the so-called 'calm heads'. Like it or not, football is a game of intuition as much as it is of anything else, and this is why it is completely valid to look at today's results and to use these to support, or deny general thoughts about how a team is performing. Your challenge, frankly, is denying that results like today don't demonstrate the views that most people have had about ourselves and Liverpool and our respective trajectories. If we win our next three on the bounce and they falter then a more optimistic view may be justified. But ATM there is nothing unwarranted about looking at how the team on our shoulder before today got the result away at Southampton that we singularly failed to.
