[Archived] Other Premier League Happenings

[tony gale's mic]

This is really, really bad news. We desperately need Liverpool to get back in it.

[Eddie]

I'm watching the game and Liverpool look poor so far.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Liverpool have never won a game when we wanted them to. Ultimate bottlers.

[Shabani]

im furious!

how can liverpool not be beating the worst team in the league

theyre effin useless when we have to rely on them

[Eddie]

2-0

[67splitscreen]

2-0 Boro, Sh!t.

[sambo]

OMG

Boro 2-0

BIG trouble

Tomorrow's game has got 10 times bigger.

[Eddie]

This is why you HAVE to win the teams around you. Lot of good draws have done us.

[Exiled in Toronto]

Middlesbrough clearly paying the price for foolishly putting out their first team in mid-week I don't think.

Let's see tomorrow if larking around on the training pitch for a week is better than actually winning games for developing a winning habit

[Lurid Coat]

'cking hell. Thanks a lot for the help, Liverpool.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Liverpool are champion bottlers.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Liverpool are champion bottlers.

Seems that way.

Lost count the number of times they have shook up the battle for relegation by losing a game they should be winning. Wasn't it last season or the season before they lost to Fulham with a reserve side and it gave Fulham the confidence to stay up?

This win could give Boro a huge boost...

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Boro will stay up now, with Tuncay firing them in. So it's a bit of a lottery between us and Pompy. Stoke we should climb above.

As good as down if we lose against Hull.

[Mr. E]

"You must be a fool to think we're going down!" - many posters here.

I'm not sure what will be worse - if the obvious happens and we do go down, or we stay up by goal-difference and BFS is hailed as the "heroic miracle-worker", only so we can get relegated the season after.

[Guest Kamy100]

Not the best result for us, however IF we beat Hull tomorrow it brings more teams into relegation quadmire.

[den]

Poo Poo Poo.

Still, we need worry about getting to 39 points.

[Amo]

Same old Liverpool. Every year touted as dark horses for the league, then duly throw it all away. Hardly an unexpected result.

We've got the game in hand, so this is very much in our own hands.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Two games in hand.

[sambo]

A bad day

Hope we turn Hull over tomorrow!

[Hughesy]

Expected the scouse result, hence why its on my 10 team accumulator - but Burnley screwed that one up!!

[speeeeeeedie]

I can't believe Boro turned Liverpool over. How can you beat Real Madrid away then lose 3 days later to a far inferior outfit. As much as I don't like Man U winning the Scousers deserve nothing. It shows the difference the mental aspect makes. Man U have a culture where most players there have won the title, Liverpool have none and it shows.

Arsenal drew with Fulham, they're now UEFA bound next season.

We must win tomorrow.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Looking like its United's title to lose.

[leftfooter]

Not sure how badly injured Torres really is, but it looks like Benitez has already thrown in the towel and is saving him for the Champions League. Liverpool were poor.

....and so much for the silly journos spouting about the most 'exciting Premiership race ever' a matter of weeks ago. It's all hype.

[Tom]

If it wasn't big enough already tomorrows game looks like a must must must win now.

Lose and I think it's goodnight Vienna for us sadly.

I feel sick.

Exactly . I'm sick to the back teeth of hearing of poncy footballers who can't play twice in a week .

They should take a look at other sports every now and again . Rugby for example - players who were staggering around semi conscious in last night's Wales/France game will be fine next weekend .

Tennis is another example . The top players can be on court for 5 hours and do it all again the very next day .

If Rovers do go down then it'll be more to do with mental weakness than anything physical .
