He’s seething and holding a grudge after you caught him out on the Aviva Stadium, mate.
That is a plausible denial except On 19 November @Sidney predicted Liverpool would have 42 points by end of year.
As 2016 ends Liverpool have 43 points.

A cowardly lack of notification from @Bandage there after getting things so wrong about Liverpool’s results in the November 26th-December 31st period.
Well, you’re either right, or you’re not.
As @Sidney said a few days back, with the decline and relegation of long standing traditional clubs from the larger cities in England, who were close to perennial top half of the table teams and awkward opponents - Aston Villa, Leeds, Newcastle (pre Mike Ashley), Nottingham Forest, Sheffield Wednesday, like a batting line up with a weak middle order, there’s a very long tail. Its definitely started by 8 in the table, maybe even Everton in 7 - albeit most sides will drop points at Goodison, Liverpool the only exception so far this season.
Chelsea have won all 12 games against sides 8-19 in the league and drawn with bottom of the table Swansea, so only two points dropped against the cannon fodder. Liverpool have picked up two points more than Chelsea in their head to heads against Top 7 sides and that’s even with Liverpool having to face Everton, Chelsea, Spurs and Woolwich away whereas Chelsea have only travelled to Man City and Woolwich out of the Top 7. What’s hurting Liverpool is 10 points dropped to Burnley, Bournemouth, West Ham and Southampton. Liverpool need to be more like Woolwich against the cannon fodder, again Woolwich are the ultimate flat track bullies, year in year out. Two points dropped to Middlesbrough and at champions Leciester, the only points dropped against sides placed 8-20.
All Sunderland… they should be two up.
Liverpool can’t get out of their half.
I predict we will be on 57 points after 25 games by the end of February.
League games from now until the end of February are as follows:
Manchester United v Liverpool Sun 15 Jan 16:00 DRAW
Liverpool v Swansea City Sat 21 Jan 12:30 WIN
Liverpool v Chelsea Tue 31 Jan 20:00 WIN
Hull City v Liverpool Sat 4 Feb 15:00 WIN
Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur Sat 11 Feb 17:30 WIN
Leicester City v Liverpool Mon 27 Feb 20:00 - WILL BE PUT BACK TO MID-APRIL

Thanks for clarifying that the most consistent side wins the league, Geoff.
Klopp confirms Milner got a knock, Hendo is out for a bit and Sturridge isn’t too bad but could miss time… The team is stretched to it’s limits and the FA cup has come at a good time…Send out the fucking academy and let the team heal up. Hopefully Phil and Matip can be brought on for a few mins but I’m not sure where they are at.
You’d swear Liverpool are the only side who have to contend with injuries.
Godspeed them all mate.

This is the Liverpool thread, mate… What would you like me to talk about, the rise of the far right in Europe?

They’re the only side who have had to contend with a lengthy road trip for an away game for a kick off less than 44 hours after their last game concluded. I doubt there’s been such a short turnaround for any side over the Christmas period since Christmas Day football and the back to back games on Boxing Day were fully phased out in season 1958/59.

I know, some had to deal with it 46 hours later!
There has, but I won’t reveal who it is.
Thankfully the reserves are out today.
Look to be signing Promes … Any scouting reports on him?
