8 games, 35 goals, 1 busy month. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you December 2017.
We open this month hosting local city rivals Everton who're on the back of two league
defeats; 0-1 loss at home to Nottm' Forrest and a 2-0 loss away to Manchester United.
Arsenal are the one team in the top half that I've really struggled with. In 9 meetings,
I've only won twice. though every time they've beaten me, it's only been by one goal.

I myself am a huge Liverpool fan and this win left as real as any derby day win.
I absolutely invest myself in these saves but the sense of satisfaction when things
go right is absolute, pure joy... this one was special. We ripped them apart.

Sensational win here. Only are third win in 10 games against Arsenal. Origi scored two in this
win and is really sealing his place in the first team. Origi spent last season on loan playing in
Serie A with Cagliari scoring 23 goals ion 43 games. This forum made me keep him at the club
for 2017/18 and he's been a goal machine, scoring 9 goals and 6 assists in 17 games.

Deeply disappointed by this game. They scored more than us, that was the difference.

Almost identical; that's what the stats said. They took their chances, we just took the lead.
I was disappointed to loose this game by the margin we did considering how close the two
sides were. It all fell apart for us in the second half and it was bitter to accept.

Should I be happy to score 5 or annoyed we conceded 3? Either are relevant comments
but the one that really matters is we took the 3 points.

Run of the mill win but Tim Clifford ran the game form midfield. Very proud with the young
Englishman's progress so far this season.

This game left touch-and-go for a long time but when we scored the 64th minute
penalty, we felt much more secure and pushed ahead.

imagine if some of those losses had been draws instead. We have the potential
to be the best team in the country with our brand of attacking football. It's only
a matter of time and as our youngsters mature and develop game awareness.
United still have 2 games in hand but as we saw last season, games in hand
don't constitute as safe points: we still need to win them.
