Such confidence...I'm nearly wetting myself with excitement....wish I shared it.

I feel pretty much the same. Horrible scenario of Friday and Monday games against a strong Wednesday side and then, if we come through that, all the nonsense of Wembley and all that that brings. Every Tom, Dick, Harry, Auntie, Uncle, Granny, Grandad, Nephews, Nieces, Cousins, all coming out the...

Which, if it happens, will be our first 2-0 win of the season.

Best policy by far. Go for the win and if we get picked off, fair play to them.

The dear old Beeb have got their stats wrong. Starting late in Nov 64, we scored two goals or more in five successive games. We then drew 1-1 and then went on another run of 4 games with two or more goals scored in each. So it was nine out of ten but it wasn't seven on the trot. In 1955...

I thought Boro would see off Ipswich easily, so what do I know. Looking at the stats and the string of missed chances, the odds are that it won't happen twice. Brum have gone from being strong play-off contenders to tailing off completely. If we can win there comfortably there is no reason why...

I heard he was watching films all the time....The Godfather...Apocalypse Now...The Great Gatsby...The Cotton Club....and Peggy Sue got married....are some of his favourites.

I still find it amazing that in a fluid crowd of over 40,000, when ticketing systems were pretty basic and crowd control extremely difficult, that every single head could be accounted for. Fair play to them if they counted every single one. It must have been painstaking and taken hours and hours...

I stand corrected and apologise. I didn't realise that Liverpool FC had moved the plaque to an outside wall. Far more appropriate and fitting. Good to see that tributes are still being paid. My main point was that action should have happened immediately post Heysel. It was an incredibly...

No one knows and the judgement deemed it to be non-contributory to the disaster. It would be foolhardy to say, categorically, that there were none as this would make it a unique match in the history of football in that period. Everyone who lived through that period knows that ticketless fans...

Those that have mentioned Heysel as a factor in a rush to pre-judge Liverpool fans ( and I am one of those ) did so as a natural reaction to living through those dark days of the 70's and 80's, when thuggery and violence at football matches was commonplace. Stadiums ( some built pre-war ) were...

BHA fans of a certain vintage still shudder at the memory of 1978 and the final day of the season. Bolton had already been promoted and with one game left, the league table looked like this..... Southampton P 41 PTS 55 Tottenham P 41 PTS 55 BHA P 41 PTS 54 We were at home and...

They are still looking back to Dec 19th when they gave us a good tonking but we are totally different from then. New players, injured players then, now returned. Fantastic team spirit, full of confidence. It is galling to look back to that time, when we were at our lowest ebb, decimated by...

....or the penalty awarded against us up there....or the penalty miss v Wolves....or the penalty against us v Derby....or Murphy's disallowed goal v Preston....or, luckily.....Dunk's challenge v MKD.....or MKD's penalty miss.....or Burnley's goal that never was....or.....or......and so on....

I don't agree that Boro ( 19 pts from last 21 ) and Burnley ( unbeaten thus far in whole of 2nd half of season ) aren't ' fired up ' They are both showing tremendous resolve and will be difficult to overtake. We are probably playing the better football but that doesn't always guarantee...

The team spirit and mental strength we have should ensure that momentum is carried into the play offs. We should just edge Wednesday and then its Hull or Derby. Who knows on the day but Wembley will suit us.

True...but the home game saw us play Ince and Crofts in midfield and we were toothless in the extreme. I didn't go to Preston but didn't we have a good goal ruled out ( Murphy ) ?

One can only dream.......

Burnley have stood up to all the pressure thus far and its hard to see them cracking now. I expect them to get a min of 7 points from the last 3 games and 91 pts will be a hell of a good marker.

I wouldn't get yer hopes up too high....... 1) Burnley aren't 20 games unbeaten for a reason. They are joint top scorers in the division and are going to a Preston side that struggles to score. 2) Ipswich are very ordinary and right off the boil. We would walk all over them now and Boro will...
