Nine years ago today

[gonetomorrow]

In nine years time we'll be looking back on all this and laughing like lords.
(Probably because we'll be in a local institution under the impression that we are members of the nobility).

Everybody knows, at least in the 70s we tried to win.

Yeah and but for some consistently bad officiating and bad luck we would and should have won more. Can't see us winning one soon though

This is an amazing thread.

Yep, it is. Amazingly sad!

Our time will come again, may not seem like it now, but it will! Call me a cockeyed optimist (or a deranged fool) but we will beat them soon!

You sir, are a cockeyed optimist.

Is it only 9 years? That's a relief, it seems longer. Much longer.

I saw the RS - Leicester match on tv and as the game was in its last minutes with the score 1 - 1 (would that it had stayed that way through the final whistle) the commentator noted that Liverpool hadn't dropped points in the Premier League since the Merseyside Derby last March.

A small point of consolation.

You're a cockeyed optimist and a deranged fool...

But I like the cut of your jib!

I thought this thread would say "... was the last time we looked like had some fight in our team". That would also fit, to be honest.

I'd rather win trophies and never win a derby again.

It’s absolutely pathetic, given some of the opportunities we’ve had to beat them in those 9 years. Proves that the mentality at the club is wrong and has been for well over a decade. Seems to run deeper than any one manager, there’s a lack of belief. Not just evident by never winning derbies, but also from the fact that whenever there’s a meaningful game we bottle it. They’re now one of the best teams in the worlds so can’t see where the next one is coming from.

Random point but...Just watching the rugby and I see NEC are one of the sponsors.
Makes me pine for them again - last time we won a trophy they were our sponsor!

Also thought our kits were better aesthetically.
