EPL 2013/2014

[The Kop]

Hey Kop


Mourinho is outside in his parked bus....he just wants to say "hello"......


anyone else at liverpoo want to have a cry????

We'll be saying hello from CL next season....

I didnt think that was important?

Are you deliberately being obtuse or like this 100% of the time?

[ozzie owl]

Liverpool completed chucking away the title this morn by drawing 3-3 at Palace, after leading by 3 at one stage. Stating the obvious, but they needed to have nailed the 4th when they were flying high, then Crystal Palace wouldn't have been able to come back.

The billionaires at ManCity won't let this slip now.

Sadly I agree Con, but once the first Palace goal went in, Liverpool should killed the tempo and shut the game down.

I love the fact you have used the word obtuse.....such a Kop thing to say.

It was not so long ago that yourself and Tanner insisted that winning a trophy outweighed the impotance of making the top four and now you have finally made the Champions League, it appears your views have changed.

[BTAC]

Apparently he's like that all the time.

[The Kop]

I'd rather have a decent trophy any day.

But I think I'll take 2nd place and in the title race until the last matchday over the Community Shield and 6th place....

[BTAC]

There's a difference between finishing 4th & having no realistic shot at the title and finishing 2nd and chasing the title down to the last game of the season.

I'd absolutely take a trophy ahead of 4th with no obvious signs of improvement.

There is actually no difference at all, please tell me what you get out of second place?

We will finish top four, with more points than last year and fingers crossed with the FA cup as a bonus.

Lets see how Liverpool cope playing in the CL next year.........They have done an excellent job this year, but it wont be the same next year.

Of course there fucking is.

I think you misunderstood the part about actually challenging for the title rather than making up the numbers.

Big difference between 4th and 2nd, quite a bit of prizemoney and CL TV distribution pool money and qualifiers in August.

MegaBoner trying to do his best bubu impersonation. You have it down perfectly.

Nailed the 4th? The game should have been over after the 3rd

Its a difference of about 5mill, nothing special at all . As i said lets see how Liverpool go having to compete in the CL next year.


As for just making up the numbers, surely everyone apart from the team that wins the league are making up the numbers???

Don't make me use the O word again!.....

I've heard a lot about "how will Liverpool cope with Europe commitments", as if to say we won't strengthen in the summer. I mean our owners who made funds for transfers available when we were out of CL are suddenly gonna rush to bank the 40m...

[Derek]

Dodged the prize money response i see.

[The Kop]

What's there to dodge?

It's much more than 5m when you factor in TV pool from CL, 2nd place gets 30%, 4th place gets 10%.

This years pool for English teams was around 50m, on current numbers it's a 10m difference. Next year apparently a new deal with BT kicks in so should be a bigger variance.

It's the annual salary of at least 2-3 quality players, so not chump change.

[Red-4-Life]

Very disappointing City's got it in the bag for sure now

[Derek]

But you came second

But as Rodgers says that wouldn't be sporting football. Liverpool playing this way against the likes of Bayern, Real (anyone) Barca, Juve etc will be interesting.

Did anyone watch the Utd v Hull game this morning? I did, and to be honest, I swore that they were showing the wrong footage before kick-off, almost looked at 5mins to kick-off, and even the commentators said the same thing, that the ground was less than half full??? Even during the game, there huge pockets of vacant seats, yet they somehow pulled the full house ticket sale number of 75341????
Looked far less than that there to me, or is that saying that every ticket was sold, yet all may not have attended, as I thought that the number for attendances went on tickets scanned through the gate :?

There was a long queue at the kharzy

[Con M]

The EPL is already up to 10 sacked managers, eclipsing the record 9 sacked ones from the 95/96 season. IMO this record still has legs, with the trio of relegated clubs to probably bring out the axe. And maybe clubs that finish 15th, 16th & 17th too.

If Sunderland stay up Poyet will not be sacked

I think you're right now - Gus has got them up to 14th & would be unlucky to get the chop.

However, this incredible number of record sackings has still got a way to go with some of the others.

6 games to go, we had to play both Mancs, Chelsea, who would have backed us to stay up? only the 2nd EPL team to stay up after being bottom at Christmas. Incredible that we could possibly finish 12th after the final day. Get on on the Gus bus!!!!

They have to include season ticket holders in the final figure, even if they hadn't rocked up. Same thing been happening at the Emirates last couple games too.

Against West Ham, Emirates was slightly lower than usual, Against West Brom And Newcastle, there was nothing of the sort as what you have just said. Nice fishing...

But still, if the season ticket holder does not go, how can this reflect on crowd numbers?? If their ticket is not swiped, then how do they register as a crowd figure???

Can't believe we have escaped this. I was utterly resigned to Championship football only 3 weeks ago.

Gus Poyett manager of the month, in fact probably worthy of the last two months!

[Nice One Cyril]

Just watching the coverage of the City players arriving at the Etihad and I notice there's a Colin Bell Stand.

More commonly known in Manchester as the Bell End

[I'm Not U]

I believe Hawkesy voted for it.
