Only one team on maximum points

1985/86, we indeed finished 4th. Horrendous injury curse in the second half of that campaign, though

I reckon they're going to give Liverpool a walloping on sept 9th

Their record against the Scousers is dogshit as of late. They've been battered a few times.

Wouldn't even mind the rats winning. They'll burn out again, especially with European matches to deal with. Berts our main threat. Seeing us top will galvanise them.

Not convinced the bulk of their squad get the rivalry. They probably feel a bit like us about it.........

You'd think so but Ive thought that in the recent past but they do usually pick their game up, even from current mediocre form.

Broadening that out, though, considering the talent there, they do often appear to not give a shit.

Stoke away next. Should do them 3 nil.

Predicting injury. Stoke will not bend over; they'll be nails.

Drug addled @#%&! has completely missed the point. Toughest league doesn't necessarily mean it has the best teams. It means there's a bunch of clubs all about the same standard that can take points off each other. Also there's a 'cup final' mentality here where the shitter teams can raise their game against the top 6 and get a result in a way which doesn't happen in Europe. They just lie down and take s beating. Thought this £#%&!er was meant to be clever?
