I voted 5 but if the end of this week shows no Manchester club still left in a domestic cup it will go up to a 7 with promises of an 8.
"Oh ye of little faith" why do you need to wait until the end of the week to vote 8. "If you can't support us when we are loosing, don't support us when we are winning" And do you know what (E)SSO ?... if we do beat both manc sides, bet you aldo won't run this thread again...why because he knew the negative reaction he was going to get in the wake of the Bolton debacle and he will know the opposite reaction he would get if we do win both games. Oh for the days when fans understood what rebuilding a football team was all about...City can take four years but LFC must do it in half of one season or we all throw our dummies out! Pathetic or what?
Back in 2005 on another site I was one of two at HT who were saying it was not over and got laughed at by an intruding Arsenal fan. My God you should have seen our posts at the end of that one! I never believe in losing. I still believe that we will actually win two cups this season which could be two more trophies than Man U win this season. I hold on to that belief until we are out. Which of course will not happen. As far as expectations are concerned I still think we are only worth a 5 but two of our best three players have been injured and the other has had a lenghty ban. So I cut everyone a bit of slack which is why if those that are called upon this week do the business then they deserve that 7 from me. If not it will be a 5 although from a lot of others it will go from a 5 down to a 3 or something.
All these forum places are the same wherever you go and whatever team you support. Much is relative to the last result or sequence of results. Someone asked before the away game v Wigan where would we be in 5 games time with the likes of Fulham, Blackburn, Stoke and Newcastle to play. On paper 5 winnable games and we ended up with 6 points. Had we got the 13 we could have set as a minimum we would have another 7 points and be sat in a comfortable 4th. As unlikely as it sounds I believe we could get 13 points from the next 5 league games and we would be world beaters. Unfortunately in the world of forums that would still not be enough for some people. The negativity on here at times is the sort of [oops] that filters back to the pitch.
Get behind the team and believe there are two games that we will win this week then celebrate what has been achieved but then like most forums it goes quiet when a team is more successful.
