Liverpool Chelsea Dilemma

Iang87

Quick question probably done to death. Lets say spurs win saturday at home to bolton puting liverpool 5 points behind with two games to play. Will Liverpool fans cheer on Liverpool to try get 5th or 6th or will they hope Chelsea beat Liverpool stopping united winning 19, to stop united winning 4 in a row and to stop fergie knocking liverpool off their ****ing perch on hold for another season at least.


Please dont make refernce to 95 anywhere in the thread simply cos in 95 united weren't going for 19 or 4 in a row and they hadn't been dominating the english league for the previous 15 years

I'd imagine most Liverpool fans will want Liverpool to win as most other games. Them beating Chelsea wouldn't nessacerily hand United the title anyway.

They might be knocking off their perch league wise but Liverpool still have 2 more European Cups.

And what about us City/Spurs/Villa fans?

Must be National Liverpool Day on Boards or something.

Iang87

city/spurs/villa fans don't matter in this cos why would ye cheer for liverpool ye have to support chelsea to stop liverpool making your threesome a fourway

SlickRic

why would Utd cheer for anyone bar Liverpool? they shouldn't be in the poll either really.

Kess73

I want whatever team is put out against Chelsea to give their all to try and get three points.

Why would City/Villa/Spurs fans care about whether Liverpool fans would prefer to lose and see Chelsea maybe win the title or win and see United maybe win the title?


The race for 4th, 5th and 6th is totally in the hands of City/Spurs/Villa. The only way that Liverpool can nip in is if those clubs mess up badly.

Die hard fans by the sounds of it.

Even though it is an outside chance, any Liverpool supporter hoping not to win while 4th is still a mathematical possibility needs to seriously look at themselves.

Wish it was a public poll - would love to know which Liverpool fans want to see their team lose.

Would never, ever, want to see United lose a game, regardless of how it might effect other teams.

SlickRic

ideally, Liverpool win and Sunderland do the favour.

if Liverpool lose, i'll obviously have a sly grin to an extent.

all Liverpool fans will.

and if Utd fans were in our position, they'd be the same.

we still have something to play for, especially if all those around us drop points, as the most unlikely miracle since Jesus' wine cellar could still be on, so we have to go for the victory.

Too right. And the vast majority of Liverpool fans have the same attitude about Liverpool FC.

helimachoptor

The pool lads are professionals, they wont be thinking of "oh if we win this the manc scum are going to win the title" They'll be thinking i'm going out to give Chelski a good battering and show even though we've had a bad season we can beat anyone.

Who will I be supporting on Sunday?

these polls are pointless if they aren't public. I wouldn't be surprised if plenty of the 'liverpool' fans voting are not liverpool fans at all but jokers messing with the poll for a laugh.

you'd hope so, right now it indicates more Liverpool 'fans' will turn their back on the their club because they hate United more than they profess to love Liverpool.

couldn't find the one where the pool fan said he'd prefer to see Liverpool relegated before seeing Utd win 19 titles.

Benzino

My support for Liverpool > My hatred of United

Therefore I want Liverpool to win.

redzerdrog

football is a strange game and anything can happen so as long it is still mathamatically possible for liverpool to get 4th there is not a hope in hell i would want liverpool to lose.

IvySlayer

For the next few days I'll be a pool fan

Its not so bad!

Scorpion Sting

I'm sure most Liverpool fans would want to see their team beat Chelsea. Just because it has bearings on the title race shouldn't mean that they hope their team lose - the only reason being the rivalry between themselves and Man. United. Every Liverpool supporter I know would never dream of backing another side against their own team.

It's possible for Liverpool to get a champions league spot without 4th.

Maybe a better questions would be would you be sad, if Liverpool lost on Sunday? Since all the shifty eyed pool supporters must maintain the same story. Ah yeah... Liverpool all the way...

Spiritoftheseventies

FFS. And I mean really. We have a thread up on will Liverpool throw Chelsea game up already Multiple threads being put up all over the place here. Have kept very patient on the whole gerrard lark but this is getting ridiculous now. Enough is enough.:mad::mad::mad:

That is obvious enough, but my question was why would City/Spurs/Villa fans care about what Liverpool fans would prefer to have happen against Chelsea, not what result would City/Spurs/Villa fans prefer to see happen.


Surely City fans would care about the result of the game, but not give a toss as to what the thoughts of Liverpool fans were on it?

I do report stuff occassionally. And to be fair some other poster was on about the other Liverpool Chelsea thread recently. Making a point here and it needs to be said. Like I said there was a lot of stuff that went on last week and it seems to be carrying on until the next week.
To remind folks. There are other games being played. United still have to play Sunderland. They have got a result at home in 16 of their 18 games there. Could put a thread up about that but wont.
A bit of fair play in order here.

he wants people to stop posting in any way negatively about Liverpool, it offends his sensibilities.

The Recliner

I want Liverpool to win every game they play, that doesn't change

If beating Chelsea hands the title to Man U then fair play they deserve it

If they over take us in the number of league titles then so what, we will just have to be better and win more

No point harping on about it, someone was going to overtake us eventually the ****e we have had to put up with for the last couple of decades

no it doesn't.

and if you really feel it does, there's some wonderful little functions you can use;

1) ignore
2) report
3) PM a mod or something

making your points in here annoys people, derails threads, and makes idiots like myself respond and derail the thread further.

In fairness you have started your fair share of Liverpool threads that could have been placed within the LFC superthread, like your SOS one some time back, so to complain about others doing so brings glasshouses and stones to mind.

As Slick has already said, if it offends you, report it to the mods and they can look into it.

Agreed. 4th isn't gone til its gone so why throw the game? Should be motivation enough.

I hope we win, I don't give a fcuk about any other team tbh.

Whether we are capable of doing that is another story.

Dont be at yourself

I'll cheer for a win, and I'll cheer that United **** up their chance that we've gifted them. Simples.

joe123

Its going to be a strange one.

If Spurs drop points to Bolton then I want us to win. Us getting fourth is more important to me than United beating our record as the future of the club weighs heavily on it.

However if Spurs win we are out of the race for fourth spot. I want Chelsea to win.

People can get on their high horses about "id never want my club to loose" but to be honest having United get 19 league titles would top of the ****tiest of **** seasons and it would be awful to know that Ferguson overtook us.


In my eyes 5th/6th/7th place is far less important than Liverpool being surpassed by United.

smallerthanyou

I dunno why this is such a big deal for Liverpool fans. At some point United will pass them out. It probably won't be this year but within the next 2-3 years United will beat that record. Hell the way things are now City have a better chance of getting 19 than Liverpool do.

I'll be supporting Chelsea cos it's what I do. I'd lose respect for any Liverpool fan that wanted to see them lose to Chelsea.

And part of it sounds like ready made excuse for the result that is likely to develop on Sunday. "Oh but we didn't want to win anyway, I'm glad we didn't"

citytillidie

Holy crap not another thread on this.

Its Liverpools last home game of the season co i cant see them not wanting to win.

I as a Liverpool fan also want them to win I don't care about any other teams apart from Derry City and Liverpool.

I don't care if United win 10 in a row as long as Liverpool play to win every game

NabyLadistheman

I think it'll be a good chance for Danny Ayala. I’d probably give him another run out after doing well against Burnley. Mind you, to make things a bit easier for him I’d want to surround him with some players he’s used to playing with. Mavinga and Palsson can join him in the back four, with Mendy at right back to deal with Malouda.

It might be worth using Plessis just in front of them to deal with the threat of Lampard, and I liked Degen’s cameo on the right wing against West Ham last week. He could be the missing ‘X factor’ that gives us the edge, and given how Chelsea have occasionally looked vulnerable to height, I’d give Jordy Brouwer his long awaited debut up front............

That's all well and good but not really answering the question.

That'e exactly why it's a big deal. The funny thing about the rivalry between Liverpool and Man Utd is that United have never had more league titles than Liverpool. They've caught up to us on a few occasions, but they've never overtaken us. There has never been a point in their history where Man Utd fans could call themselves the most successful club in the league. It's a great record for our club to have, and not one we'll be happy to give up.

noodler

Wanna win.

Won't be as disappointed as usual if we lose.

That is all - no dilemma.
