Season 2024/2025
 

We dont seem to have a topic for the new season yet, so here we go.

I had to record this, a win for Forest at Anfield, the first since the late 1960's I believe. :D

It was epic stuff.


They didn't have a sniff and we hit them on the break. Absolute masterclass.

Re: Season 2024/2025
 

Our team took too many liberties so well done to Forest for their excellent result.

Re: Season 2024/2025
 

Impressive that is your only defeat with a new manager. I get the impression he hasn't changed a lot which hasn't disrupted the squad.

Re: Season 2024/2025
 

I think the next 10 games will give a good indication of how well things are going for us.

Re: Season 2024/2025
 

Indeed we have a very tough period coming up but it was nice to beat my brothers team yesterday.:)

Re: Season 2024/2025
 

8th.


That is all

Re: Season 2024/2025
 

:D

Re: Season 2024/2025
 

Looks like we spoke too soon


5th now

Re: Season 2024/2025
 

True, but thats only because others have not played yet.
Even so, if all those below won, we would still be 8th again.

Another good performance, and win.
We're almost 50% of the way to having enough points for relegation survival. :D

(And the teams at the bottom look doomed already, bottom four have not won a game between them).

Re: Season 2024/2025
 

Yes, but still, we have the points and they don't.


To go back to 8th, Brighton, Chelsea and Spurs have to win
Brighton play Wolves at 3, who only have 1 point so far (hmm) but are surely better than that
Chelsea play Newcastle tomorrow
As do Spurs vs Palace (who are also better than where they are).


The bottom 4 clearly can't keep up the record of not winning at all much longer, they will be doomed if they do, and I guess on a technicality they can, but it's unlikely to happen.


And though it's not likely to end that way, all of those matches are losable for the team behind us, meaning we could stay there by the end of the weekend.


We have 16 points after 9 games, as you say about halfway there, staying up has to still be the main objective and a bad run can see you drop (or a points deduction). It means we have 29 games to get as many again. Of course we're yet to play Arsenal, Spurs, either Manchester club or Newcastle and have only (of the big sides) met Chelsea and Liverpool yet. There are bound to be a few more losses in there and maybe a few heavy ones (especially if we hit a certain former player's son in a good mood) and likely a few reversals to other teams as well. But the bottom 3 need a lot of points too as well so that's not going to happen really or at least isn't likely to.


Leicester seem to be doing fine too as they have 9 from 9 which is usually enough to stay up.

Re: Season 2024/2025
 

Brighton didnt need to win, a draw put them above us, on 'Goals Scored'. :(

As long as we keep picking up points, we're going to be fine. :)
The bottom teams look poor, and the gap between us and them is already 13 points.

Re: Season 2024/2025
 

I thought todays Arsenal team was there to be beaten. An away draw is not bad but if I was Liverpool I would be gutted not to get a winner. Do you think your team could have gone up a gear?

Lucky point gained for Arsenal.

Re: Season 2024/2025
 

Pre game I was expecting a win but thought it was pretty even really, either side could have won. Never happy to drop two points but think the result was a fair reflection of the game overall.

Re: Season 2024/2025
 

Liverpool won't win the title but we will be in the top four.

We are in the transition stage in my view.
