Sunday, 14th February. Kick off 14:05.

Looking forward to this one.

A winnable game imo. Gabby to continue his scoring run and Veretout to get his first goal.

2-1 Villa.

Did you just use the words "Gabby"and "scoring run" in the same sentence?

Gonna have £10 on us to be 5-1 up at half time

[Hopadop]

So when did we actually last beat Liverpool at VP? Was it the Collymore inspired 2-1 from the early Gregory era?

It was actually only 4 years ago. Last game of season. Downing 1-0

Oh god should have remembered that one. Small Heath got relegated on the same day.

Got to be Collymore 2 Liverpool 1 as the last time before then though?

Maybe, although the 1 nil with Ian Taylor scoring would have been a similar era.

The Collymore game on 28 Feb 1998 was the 2-1 win. The Taylor 1-0 win 2nd March 1997. Those were the last home league wins prior to the 2011 win  mentioned.

Record against the Redscouse truly abysmal at VP in last few decades.
Have done better at Anfield in recent past.
The 11 v 11 web site gives the all time record for both league and cup games against this lot as:-

Won 57 Drawn 40 Lost 93

Bloody awful when you think Liverpool were essential a yo-yo club before Shankly arrived.

We'll play shit, and lose. Or we'll play well, get cheated blind, and lose.

[Jimbo]

Liverpool really need a win. Hmm. We're far too generous not to oblige, especially at home. A routine 0:2 defeat is on the cards, with Benteke scoring at least one.

But, fuck the fuckers all the same.

[Skerra]

Be scared, be very, very scared as I've put us down for a win!!

I would love to see us winning 2/3 games on the trot but, then I think back to last Saturday and, before we scored after 44 minutes, we looked as incapable as ever to score. Plus, any decent side would have scored at least 2 against us in those last 20 minutes as, defensively we also reverted to type with inept defending.We were lucky that they didn't have anyone to take advantage of our mistakes.

If only we could have brought in a good goalscorer in January, I would really have fancied our chances to escape the drop as Remi obviously has given them a positive attitude to at least try to give their all.

Fingers crossed though.

Unlikely i'll be at this, 1-1.

[Legion]

2-0.

[Comrade Blitz]

Villa will klopper them.

[four fornicholl]

can really see us keeping another clean sheet , so its a 0-0 or 1-0 for me
don't give a hoot who gets it

We haven't had a Valentines Day massacre since 2000 at Smogboro when Benni and Jules ran riot. Neil Cutler's one and only appearance for us I think...replaced David James.
