The
thoughts and views on THFC updated daily from Jim Duggan – Born in the year
of the Cockerel, Shelfside season ticket holder & supporter since the
early 1970s (last updated 01/11/02 9:38 AM) 28th October 2002 – The Weekend Liverpool 2-1 Spurs – Really really choked about this result. We did “good performance, no points” last season and while I can do it once, I’m gutted that we were even better this season creating any number of chances but lost as we only scored one of our many chances and Liverpool scored with their only shots on target. It was sickening to lose just like we did at Scumbury in April to a late penalty after getting ourselves level so late on. The Spurs support was magnificent throughout the match and as ever Anfield was quiet with seemingly more and more families from the home counties up for a day out taking the seats from genuine Scousers. Liverpool have to be one of the dullest sides in recent years to be relatively successful, counter attacking at home from the word go and hopefully someone other than Arsenal can win the League from them (hopefully us!). As usual, blatant penalties were not given to Spurs away from home at top sides, making a difficult job impossible. Our last three matches away to the “top 5“ have produced defeats by the odd goal, with all three winning goals coming from the penalty spot after Spurs had competed well in all matches and were worthy of at least a point in each. This represents good progress for Hoddle when you think of some of the awful shite we’d had to put up with away from home under the Goonersaurus and before. The next step is to start taking points from these matches. The last time we avoided defeat in any of these fixtures (ManU, Liverpool, Chelsea, Leeds & the Goons) was back at Scumbury in November 1998 and out of a total of 153 points on offer in all of these fixtures since the Premier League started we have taken a pathetic 22, having lost the last 21 consecutive fixtures. In the 51 matches, we have 3 wins, 13 draws (seven goalless including our last 3 away points going back to 1996!) and have had a total of 35 defeats. We have scored 36, while letting in 96. Grim shit. These points are important because they represent a quarter of the teams in the league and nearly 14% of the total points on offer. 06-Apr-02
