    Liverpool are beginning to look like Champions. My despair know no depths. Yes, I know they play very good football, but try living around here when they win a match, let alone a title.

    It does seem that the others are determined to make a complete cock-up when it comes to putting pressure on them. So message to Man City. Title is gone, so don't bother turning up at SMS tomorrow.

    No referee will send a player off for that. Especially in a game of this magnitude.

    Refereeing isn't just about sticking to the rule book. You use your common sense. You show a second yellow for that then you lose the players completely. Your game management goes to **** if you send Xhaka off there.

    I presume you are too young to remember Leeds? (Some) horrible fans, horrible ground, horrible team. Used to set out to bore the opposition into submission.

    The stuff of nightmares. But if we get our house in order, I won't begrudge them too much.

    My dislike for them goes back waaay before you were born Tom plus their "fans" are moronic boneheaded thugs on the whole ( I can remember them terrorising kids in the corner of Archers Road in the League Cup S/F in 79)

    Remember them smashing up Bournemouth and scaring all the pensioners back in the 90s?

    When we played them in the opening game of our Championship season there were some old Leeds fans leaning across to intimidate kids leaving from the Northam. One of those un-reconstructed clubs when it comes to moronic fan behaviour.

    We probably get several million in incentive payments, if nothing else. We can make our own trophy with that!

    My old man was running a hotel in Boscombe at the time. He had to barricade the front doors, they were running riot. Smashed his windows the promptly carried on up the road.
    I've never heard of him talk bad about any other fans.

    There was the 7-1 (I think) game too, where they just started taking the piss out of us.

    There's no point being bitter towards Liverpool. Sure they have bought a few of our players, but they are fast becoming one of the greatest teams the Premier League has seen, and it's all down to Klopp.

    They are going to win the title by some margin, and I wouldn't be surprised if they take the Champs League too.

    Fair play to them. It was our board that ****ed us over, not theirs.

    I'd rather see Saints fans congratulating them, than trying pathetically to get a rise out of them, when we have far bigger problems to deal with.

    Van Dijk can **** off though. And Lovren.

    Otherwise, I have no animosity towards anyone connected with that club.

    Since when did being top of the league at Xmas make you one the greatest PL teams ever?
    Are you pissed?
