Not always. Some kick off at 15:00 and there have been other variations.

 

Yeah that used to be the case but hasn't happened for a couple of seasons now.

 

I see the game is now a sell out, but the atmosphere is never great at these early Sunday kick offs. The Manchester derby will be decent to watch in town after our game.

Villa - Liverpool Sunday 4th Feb was 15:00 (on Sky). It's usually the games moved to a Sunday because of Europa League on a Thursday that can sometimes be 15:00 if they're not on TV.

Hoping Liverpool win tonight, they might then decide Europa is more important than the league and rest Firmino, maybe play a CB pairing of Lovren and Caulker :D

 

Would rather they lost on penalties after conceding 2 late goals and suffer several injuries in ET.

Games on a Sunday either kick off at 1.30 or 4pm. Our game at Newcastle was a 1.30pm kick off even though it wasn't televised.

 

Not even remotely true. There are different kick off times when there are 3 matches televised than there are only 2 or 1 for a start. There have also been plenty of games not kicking off at the same time as televised Sunday matches in recent years.

 

There have been a few more kickoffs in line with live matches despite the games not being televised recently, Not sure if the rules have changed or clubs just want to maintain a routine - I think the latter.

 

The other reason kick off times on Sunday fluctuate is depending on the teams' kick off times for their fixtures either side and how much recovery time they can get in.

If you read above you will see I corrected myself. The 'Super Sunday Hat-trick' of 3 games doesn't happen very often but on a standard Sunday, when Sky televise two live games, any other games which have been moved because of the Europa League will either kick off at 1.30pm or 4pm.

 

No game this season has kicked off at 3pm on a Sunday, which was my original point anyway. The matches kick off in line with the TV games.

That is that. United were leaving loads of space for Liverpool and coutinho strolled in to make it 1-1

 

Rojo had to score that chance just before

 

Utd's right back Varela is awful - (from what I've seen tonight) Their defence has been wide open - no defensive midfielder to protect them. Shame, I was hoping for extra time and penalties.

Many clubs would like to have a terrible season and be where they are though.

 

it is relative though. it is like saying many teams would love to be where villa are.

I wouldnt, would you?

Both Lawro and Steve Cram have us winning in their predictions…saying last nights game will have taken it out of them. Save Mane for the second half then.

 

i don't buy this though, we've had games recently where Saints have had a break and yet we've looked the more tired team - Chelsea at home for example.

 

I didn't see the 2nd half of last night's match, question for anyone who did see it - did Liverpool look comfortable or did United work them hard? Emre Can is a player who has impressed me recently, and their midfields ability to run with the ball worries me. We are definitely due a result against this lot at St Marys after the last few games so fingers crossed Lawro and Cram are right.

The 2nd half was a total doddle for Liverpool tbh. The game was dead at 1-1.

Only saw the second half, they passed and moved with pace, exploiting the spaces out wide. They looked decent, it will be interesting to see if we give them the same sort of space by playing three at the back.

Little Mickey has us for a draw and the Merse to win.

Just my opinion, but Countinho was by far Liverpool's best player, although I confess I was more mesmerised by how poor Man Utd looked and I honestly can't believe they're as high in the table as they are. They were awful. Fellaini is atrocious, but by no means was he alone in that team in being so.

Lawro finally predicting Liverpools first defeat of the season! What's going on there? Almost certain we won't win it now.

MUST WIN

 

Really? I'd like to win (even if it's just to keep the plastic pool fans at work quiet) but even if we beat them they will no doubt win their games in hand and it is so tight around us I still can't see us finishing 6th/7th. Coupled with the fact the FA cup winners are unlikely to be in the top six this season I think Europe is probably gone so really the season is just playing for place money.

Yep. pretty much a must win

Had a dream that JWP scored a header from open play. 1-0 Saints! ;)

 

What sort of record do you have with your dreams' accuracy? Or are they all wishful thinking... ;-)

 

I was there when Benali scored - had a great view from the East stand - so I look forward to it into the Chapel goal tomorrow.
