    "Obviously we're going away really disappointed with the result but we can't be disappointed with how we played," he told the Liverpool Echo.

    Remember that cracker that we lost to Chelsea in the CL in 08?

    While not quite that, I hope this Arsenal game can have a similar affect. Consolidate the belief that we can go toe to toe with the top sides and be as good, if not better, than any of them. Hopefully we push on from here in the league.

    Swansea next, and I'm looking no further than that. We need to be professional and get the job done. Can't afford the individual errors that we've seen for a lot of this season.

    Spent a couple of hours last night watching youtube vids from the late eighties / early nineties (the RTE thread is great btw, read it). I suppose we forget now, but there was a huge rivalry between us and Arsenal towards the end of the old Division One. The 2001 FA Cup Final. Under Benitez we were occupying similar terrritory / the 2008 CL Quarter Final.

    Younger fans may not see us as natural rivals, but older fans will.

    Within the context of this season, the Utd fans on here are having a dreadful aul time of it and some of them will intend to camp it out on every one of our match threads for the rest of the season cheering every misstep. That's fine, some of our posters have done similar in previous years. Arsenal are navigating a critical juncture in their season, in many ways it's all on the line for them right now during these couple of weeks. The drubbing they received last weekend would have been awfully difficult for them to take and accept and reminded them of old failings. I can understand the reaction yesterday. It mirrored the performances of the team on the pitch. They NEEDED it.

    Ultimately, I'd take the reaction in that thread yesterday every day of the week over the 'it's sorry to see such a great club as Liverpool in this state' stuff from the Hodgson era. It's nice knowing we're relevant at the moment.

    That last sentence being especially pertinent. I like when people really go out of their way to want us to lose, means we're doing something right.

    Nothing worse than pity. Empathy I can deal with, pity certainly not.

    Yeah. I'd like to empathise with United for having Moyes in charge, but I pity them. He is completing a Hodgson-esque destruction of that club and I must admit I find it funny.

    It will take more than Moyes and one season to cause any major destruction of Utd.

    enjoy it while it lasts but don't subscribe to some of the crap talk from other Liverpool supporters about Utd empire coming to an end, or with them being 'finished'

    Swansea v Liverpool comes 4 days before the 2nd leg of the EL tie against Napoli, obviously it could all be over by FT this Thursday but hopefully they will have something to play for and so play a lesser team to Liverpool.

    Spurs play Liverpool 4 days before the quarter final first leg in the EL should they still be in it.

    Liverpool play Man City 3/4 days after the 2nd leg of the CL quater final should they still be in it

    Liverpool play Chelsea between the CL semi final legs should they still be it in.

    I think it's fair to say Swansea and Spurs will each prioritise their league games.

    Just looking at our rivals for top 4.

    Arsenal have a tough game midweek and home v Sunderland. I'm expecting them to win the league match. Anything else is a huge bonus for us.

    Spurs are away in Ukraine Thursday and then away to Norwich Sunday. Travelling could be a factor.

    Everton away to Chelsea Saturday morning.

    City home to Stoke Saturday following their match v Barca tomorrow

    Wonder if Michu will be back for our game, if not the Napoli one. Heard he's not far off returning. Badly missed him this season.

    Hopefully Kono does some damage to Spurs, though in turn it'll probably re-ignite Spurs interest in him come the summer.

    I posted the exact same when one of the United match threads was in meltdown before Xmas, scoffing and WUM's are to be expected, it's when the more decent posters start taking pity on fans having to watch crap football, that's the real low!

    I used to hate Arsenal, that goal in 89 cut deep, twas my birthday. Took Istanbul and wakening up on my birthday as European champions for the fifth time to wash away the bitterness! Chelsea replaced them. I don't really see why a Pool fan would hate them at this stage.

    I'd say if you went through the main superthreads you'd have differing sections of posters who'd hate different clubs. My generation would have seen Everton and Arsenal as big rivals, then later United. Some of the older generation of Arsenal fans remember us being the one to match, and with us falling away the rivalry is more friendly. There's a couple that just hate Liverpool anyway, but you get that with all clubs.

    Potential points dropped for Chelsea there. Everton have a decent record against them at the Bridge. Always give them a game.

    Absolutely; sure when they get rid of him and get a decent manager in I reckon they'll be back, too big to fail so to speak. I guess one of the positives of this situation for them also will be to weed out the bandwagoner supporters also.

    I will however enjoy it while it lasts.

    Why pity them? Disappointment is part of being a football fan, and a part a lot of them know fcuk all about. A season like this is long overdue for them

    And Moyes is hardly destroying the club. One bad season, thats all hes guilty of. If he's sacked at the end of the season, he'll still leave a better squad to what he inherited, albeit without c/l football

    Be interesting to see who they replace Vidic and Evra with.

    I'm not sure if they will sack Moyes, and if they do it'll be an unproven like Rodgers was at a massive club.

    Not hate for me tbh. I dislike the club dunno if they register enough for hate though. I think the 'everyone hates us line' seems to be something confined to their fans on here who are obviously oblivious to Charlie Nicholas.

    Have no issue with them hating Liverpool in return. It would just be a lot better if they were upfront about it instead of coming in here posting false niceties then going back to their thread and doing the opposite. At least with the United fans you know where you stand. :D

    On the topic of two faced posters though, Knex if you want me to take you up on that valentine proposition I need you to defend my honour against this ****. :pac:

    as for the other ****, about 90% of his posts are typical smalltime snipes against arsenal. It's like he's got arsenal-tourettes.

    +1. i loved the way Arsenal took it to United during the Henry/Viera years and made the PL bearable again when Liverpool were flapping. One thing i do hold Arsenal responsible for is dropping off their standards and allowing the end of Adams/Keown etc and to diminish their backline under Wenger that allowed United to dominate once more - and also the frustration watching them play some beautiful football only to fall short to teams that would physically batter them! No matter who you support you should always enjoy the football when its played in a way the older Arsenal teams used to play.

    As Liverpool fans we have been through the mill aside for the Rafa era, we lost years due to the whole Gillett and Hicks sage and it was an awful time to be a fan when you see your club pulled apart like that. Thats why this season both the position we are in as well as the way Rodgers has us playing is a joy to watch.

    ... interestingly, i came across an older article of Rodgers when he first arrived and the expectation was that we'd play in a Swansea/Pass to death manner. How that ethos has changed!

    Don't think I was ever so proud of my team after a defeat
    We battered arsenal in the second half and if we had of taken our chances see could of won easily
    Arsenal players reaction at the final whistle shows how far we have come they were celebrating big time
    And if it hadn't been for a South Yorkshire police man we would have got something out of it
