I wonder if any of them realise that if Liverpool lose tomorrow... if we then win 13 games we are champions
Unless we do something extraordinary, we’ll never convince guys like these.https://www.skysports.com/football/...ccer-saturday-pundits-give-title-race-verdict
Read this article this morning and realised they don't mention Spurs once, not even in passing.
They even changed the article title from the one in the link to the one on the front page.
Too funny!
This is like Ron Paul's race for Republican nominee
Fuck 'em. Rather we keep doing what we do and make them eat their words come the end of the season.Unless we do something extraordinary, we’ll never convince guys like these.
Didn't hear it myself but like anything it totally depends on the context in how it was said.
For example, if the initial conversation was to do with all the issues we've faced recently and he finished off with it would be like Leicester winning the league then fair enough.
But if it was meant in a disparaging way then its ridiculous obviously.
That's cos it's kinda like the Garfield and Odie dynamic; Only GarfIeld is allowed to beat up on Odie. But if someone else so much as looks askance at our favorite dim-witted pup, Garfield takes them to the cleaners.People don't think we're going to win the title but complain if pundits opinions agree with theirs.
That's a new one
What i don't understand is why the pundits can't marry up success with expectation.
I'd wager that if you went back to the beginning of the season and listed the pundits "top 4" predictions we wouldn't have made it for half of them, but somehow we are a "failure" for not winning the League.
Souness is generally really complimentary about us. I didn’t see this but maybe he meant we haven’t got as many attacking options in our current situation due to injuries and that it would remain that way until March? I dunno.
The heart attack changed him. He used to be a proper **** but has calmed down a lot over the years and is one of the less biased Liverpool pundits in my opinion, whereas someone like Phil Thompson can’t even say the word ‘Liverpool’ without ejaculating under the desk on soccer Saturday.
Soccer Saturday. Ugh. Massive clear out needed but they can keep Le Tiss and Macinally. Charlie Nicholas is a shithead.
Why do Spurs fans seek the approval of the said pundits? I would never understand that.
Isn't it better if Spurs as a team just continue to perform and people continue to ignore Spurs as a bunch? Less pressure to begin with. Meanwhile the Lpool bunch keep coming up with undue pressure from the word go cause of the weight of expectations. I personally love that they don't utter Spurs in the same sentence as title, you can't "bottle" something that wasn't expected of you.
Despite Neville’s praise he continually mugs us off though. You no it’s coming when he says “no disrespect but...”The thing that cracks me up is if Liverpool finished third but they were playing home games at a different stadium, it would be a great season cos of the disruption.
Personally don't care as long we get title winning results consistently, which I don't think we do at present. New stadium will become a fortress and be the extra points between 3rd and title challengers at end of a season.
This season our pattern is to join the title race then leave, then join again, then leave again and finally finish 3rd

He’s been a massive Poch fanboy for years so had been kind to us. Now all that focus is on getting Poch to United so don’t expect any favours from him anymore.Despite Neville’s praise he continually mugs us off though. You no it’s coming when he says “no disrespect but...”
The other day I saw an interview with him from last year and he stated that he will never discuss whether managers deserve to be sacked or not, stating that "It's not my place to say if someone should be sacked, I have to focus on performances, tactical approaches, etc"He’s been a massive Poch fanboy for years so had been kind to us.

He is just think he is a bit of a **** biscuit tbh.The other day I saw an interview with him from last year and he stated that he will never discuss whether managers deserve to be sacked or not, stating that "It's not my place to say if someone should be sacked, I have to focus on performances, tactical approaches, etc"
Thought it was strange as these principles didn't stop his tub thumping for Poch to become the new United manager and spending a good ten minutes engaging with Tyler on whether Poch should leave Spurs for United during one of our games! That's all alright until it benefits United though isn't it?!
To be honest, he’s a United man first and foremost and a pundit second. I’m sure if we had a one club man as decorated as him pulling for Spurs we’d all pat him on the back.He is just think he is a bit of a **** biscuit tbh.
If you ever get the chance to see Marco Boogers (the man, the myth, the legend) tackle on him it will improve your life
