Don't worry, according to some posters here, it was just like losing any 3 points and we ended up getting top 4 while Liverpool didn't. Try telling your son this. Should definitely make him feel better.Me and my son won’t forget in a hurry - we were in the Anfield Road end and had to watch the humiliation unfold and then leave their dump of a city afterwards. Painful experiences such as this are not easily forgotten….
Surely you know it’s just cope. But also, what are we supposed to do? It was awful but you have to move on.Don't worry, according to some posters here, it was just like losing any 3 points and we ended up getting top 4 while Liverpool didn't. Try telling your son this.

Of course it shouldn't give you sleepless nights or anything, but saying it meant the same as any other defeat or that we got top 3 so we got the last laugh is just childish. This is a special fixture. Even before that match if you offered these same people the reverse result against any team of their choosing who do you think they'd pick? West brom?Surely you know it’s just cope. But also, what are we supposed to do? It was awful but you have to move on.
I do. Being at Anfield that day makes it the worst experience of my life (football wise) and I left at 4-0. Could hear them cheering the 5th goal and I was on the bus back to town when the 6th & 7th went in.Who cares.
you CANNOT say losing 7-0 to that mob irrelevant.If they ended up having a better season than us it would have hurt and would have needed avenging, but they didn’t.
Which makes the result essentially irrelevant.
In the overall grand scheme of things the result was irrelevant though. Our season was a success, theirs was a failure. That’s what is really important.you CANNOT say losing 7-0 to that mob irrelevant.
Means feck all nowI do. Being at Anfield that day makes it the worst experience of my life (football wise) and I left at 4-0. Could hear them cheering the 5th goal and I was on the bus back to town when the 6th & 7th went in.
It hurt a lot and it's a result I'll never get over. So yeah, I care. And I'm sure many more do

I know - these results stick. I still remember beating city 5-0 in 1994/5 to avenge the 5-0 from 1989/90. We went on to lose the league and the cup final in 95 - but beating City 5-0 was still oh so sweet after the debacle at Maine Road 5 years earlier. I still remember the taunting.Don't worry, according to some posters here, it was just like losing any 3 points and we ended up getting top 4 while Liverpool didn't. Try telling your son this.

Its a good point, the 8-2 means so little. I'd much rather knock them out of a cup 1-0 that we go on and win than beat them 7-0 in the leagueThe Scouser fans I know barely mention it because they're not stupid, it was a freak result and they didn't really deserve it based on the run of the game anyway but whatever. Does that 8-2 win against Arsenal still feel relevant today, coming up to playing vs them? No, it doesn't, and only small time fans care about one result in the grand scheme of things. The second most important result is always the last game you played, the most important is the next one.
Strange that a big time fan thinks that Arsenal's rivalry with us is as big as ours with the scouse.The Scouser fans I know barely mention it because they're not stupid, it was a freak result and they didn't really deserve it based on the run of the game anyway but whatever.

No trophy?I'll take today as a semi-revenge. Come on, lads! No trophy for Klopp's last season!
Ah feck it. Forgot the Carabao Cup.No trophy?
This.It wasn’t 7-0 but it felt fecking good.
Nah, we’ve stopped them taking a quad in Kloppos final season/fairwell tour. I’d say that’s revenge.I'll take today as a semi-revenge. Come on, lads! No trophy for Klopp's last season!
How about quarter-revenge?I'll take today as a semi-revenge. Come on, lads! No trophy for Klopp's last season!
