Was Yesterday As Good As The 6-1 At The Swamp ?

[Sideshow Bob]

not for me although it's fantastic to get that huge monkey off our backs. the 6-1 and even moreso the 1-0 in FAC were far more significant.

I'm kind of with C64 here

It was a huge win both in scoreline and context. The dippers jinx over us at their place you felt was affecting our boys which is out of character really. The manner of the defeat will hopefully banish that hoodoo into oblivion. In addition you could see from the dippers demeanour from both players and coaches, that they know their reign as champions is well and truly over and Klopp himself will fear the sands of time will be running out of his tenure. Not suggesting he only has a few months left, but the similarities between the dippers now and Dortmund beforehand are there to see.

Sunday for my money marks the beginning of the end of this dipper side. Even Carragher has admitted as such and reckons they need at least 3 first team players signing who can just drop into the side. Not gonna happen with the Covid19 restrictions.

Whereas we keep on going and we have the finances to improve if and when required.

Not quite as satisfying as the 6-1 at the swamp, but it really isn't far behind

Growing up surrounded by rags giving you shit every Monday morning in school because they’ve won again and City lost to Stockport or Bury. All those years of putting up with it and then twating them 6-1 at the swamp and watching it empty.

Having a mini rivalry with Liverpool for a couple of years.

The two don’t compare.

Just like at the swamp, it all seemed very tight in the first half, 1-0 still had us biting our nails. Then the 2nd half where we just upped the tempo and blew them away, scoring 3 in the dying seconds of the Rag game and 3 in the last 20 against the Dippers made both a joyous occasion.

However, nothing can beat the 6-1, it was that game that set us off on the trajectory we are on now.

It was a great win - we ended our poor run of form at Anfield and it’s given us a great boost in the title race.

But it doesn’t really compare to the 6-1.

The 6-1 as i never tire of telling any rags who tell me it's only 3 points won us the league.
We both finished on 89 points. Our goal difference was 64, theirs was 56. If we'd have won 2-1 the goal difference would have finished identical, 3-1 without our 3 late goals and who's to know how they'd have approached the last couple of games. The 6-1 was everything to us.

No , for me , not quite. Why ? Because after the romp@theswamp, I was in a dazed, deluded, surreal, kind of ... Shiraz trip , sitting there in the garage at around 6 in the morning (NZ time) , in a numb state, swigging from my glass , and just repeating "I don't beleive it, I just don't beleive it . . . " to myself , in the dawning light. Then my mood switched to a conviction that "this is an internet HOAX ; somebody has fixed this up - it's been VERY cleverly done (no pun intended), but it's a hoax" . . and I then spent an hour , or so, and another half bottle, checking Auntie, the Mail, any media outlet I could find , to confirm it. After which , I still didn't believe it , but was so smashed by then that I went to bed , completely forgetting a job interview (by phone)I had at 10 the following morning . . . which I only remembered when they phoned me and the interview commenced . . . absolutely STONKED, 3 hours sleep, no coffee and only 1 fag . . . but I NAILED the interview.
Sunday . . . planned to crash about 10:30 and get a few hours kip before action stations at 03:00 (Aus) . . . but ended up getting about one hour due to noisy / unco-operative dragon/dragonette and pre-match nerves (" . . .will it never be morning ??") .
After the game - elated , yes, but feeling we could have had a couple more . . . and didn't sit there for a hour and a half repeating "I don't beleive it . . . "

No, but it's close. I've not cared about trophies in the past couple of seasons but I have wanted to break the Anfield hoodoo.

The result has well and truly, and I mean we'll and truly, shut some gobby social media posters up.

It could also mean we win there a bit more often in the future.

Plus it's the first game this season I have set the alarm for to watch live. It meant something.
