Despite the screeching from Spirit of Shankly group and others To be frank, the stadium holds 50,000 these days The waiting list for season tickets is rumoured to be in the tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands. 2,000 is a really small minority when it comes to a football club of their size. By all accounts most just drove past Anfield and tooted their horns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miracle Aligner 249 Posted July 4, 2020 So the impressive 5-2 at Man Utd with a couple of disallowed goals got me looking up the highest scoring games of the Premier league era. Find it quite remarkable that a 7-4 win at home for Portsmouth against Reading from September 2007, still stands. Surely it must go sometime although VAR seems to make that less likely. A few other games have had 9 or 10 goals since button none 11. 9 is the most scored by one team. Surely a team must get 10 one day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That Portsmouth/Reading match, which I remember well as Chris Kamara had a hangover and was covering on SSN and had about 50 incidents to talk about. Also it could have been more as there was a goal ruled off and a penalty saved. Always annoying when teams play ultra-defensive football like this... PS A few weeks later Reading went to White Hart Lane and lost 6-4 to Spurs. They were relegated on goal difference iirc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,630 Posted July 9, 2020 Oh aye, and... Was bantering with a mate re the pools, gyms, team sports thing opening up again. See, we're a bit bothered about returning to League Two. No probs spreading out the meager crowds across the grounds. But the tiny burger cabins and cramped bogs in the likes of Crawley are another matter. An alternative that would get us watching some football might be to get the fixture list for the local under nines, turn up in the rain on a Sunday morning and stand well away from the little gaggles of parents for both teams. I mean, a couple of blokes doing that wouldn't cause any concern at all, would they? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I'd rather they have Alex Scott on, she's no worse than several of her male counterparts and much nicer to look at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I'd rather they have Alex Scott on, she's no worse than several of her male counterparts and much nicer to look at. I totally understand the need for diversity in football commentators, but I'd hope given the large number of non-White players available to choose from sky and the BBC could find a decent one (which they already have with regards Ian Wright and a few others) 9 hours ago, time said: He's no better or worse than many others. I mean this is where I disagree, his insistence on bringing things back to himself when it's more useful if he talks about what's going on on the field is really irritating - he's the only one on Sky who makes me reach for the mute button if I'm back from the kettle too quickly at half time... That said this certainly isn't a defence of many of the other presenters who are just better rather than necessarily any good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RIP Wee Jum 1,559 Posted July 12, 2020 I've seen this opinion a lot I , at the moment, am watching all football muted including the half time analysis. This no crowd stuff is useless would rather have it on in the background whist I do other things than watch a game with about as much atmosphere as a game at the The Etihad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fake crowd is passable as a means of drowning out the onfield calls of players which is a real turn off but the sooner we have real crowds the better. I've found myself listening to a lot of 5 Live comms though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
