Match Day Thread Middlesbrough v Liverpool - Premier League

No, no we won't
We are actually on for less points this month than even I predicted, thats bad
I do hope we win though, i think we are trying to increase Couts' value, just in case like

With Arsenal losing, we can now go second if we win by three goals or more #challenge #wellfuckingsmashem

 

Miserable lot.

 

Optimist.

 

Sorry, Dad

 

I think this will really have us pumped (****ing hope so anyway)!

 

Apology not accepted.

 

I'm an atheist who doesn't eat meat more than once a day. I'm keeping my mouth shut (until I'm offered bacon at least)

 

Bastards scheduling a game for 2:45 on a workday.

Seagull is a meat.

Hopefully we'll play in a stadium instead.

 

They've not been around to play against for 14 years

 

That spoils the post then!

If I remember correctly we haven't won there in 7 attempts.

Which is still bad.

 

No how this will go, Boro have been good and know how to defend so I expect them to dig in.

 

Thats a minor detail.. and slightly exaggerated too. it spoils the whole reverse jinx too.

 

Still not a vegan though.

 

A win is needed whether ugly or beautiful

 

I'd take any kind of win right now.

 

Yep, we're due an injury time contentious penalty.

 

Middlesbrough v Liverpool: What do the stats tell us?
Liverpool visit Middlesbrough in the Premier League tonight - but what do the stats tell us about the fixture at the Riverside Stadium? Club statistician Ged Rea has the answers...
The Reds' next goal will be their 50th of the season in all competitions.
The teams are meeting in the league for the first time since 2008-09, when Boro ran out 2-0 winners at the Riverside. Liverpool won that season's fixture at Anfield 2-1 thanks to late goals from Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard.

However, the clubs did play out a dramatic League Cup tie two years ago, when Liverpool ran out 14-13 winners on penalties after a 2-2 draw at Anfield.
Home and away, the Reds have lost one of their last nine meetings with Boro.
And in the last 42 league fixtures, Liverpool have lost just seven times.
The last Reds player to score a hat-trick against Boro came in February 2008, when Fernando Torres netted all three in a 3-2 win at Anfield.

Only 13 league goals have been scored at the Riverside in seven games this season. That is the lowest tally of any top-flight ground along with St Mary's, where Boro lost 1-0 last Sunday.
