      Losing the toss
      Dec 02, 2007 11:48:32 pm
      Liverpool have notoriously kicked towards the Kop in the second half. 

      When opposition teams they adopt one of two standpoints.

      a) 'We're not scared of Liverpool. They can kick towards the Kop in the second half'
      b) 'We're sh*t scared of Liverpool.  Any psychological advantage will be a bonus. Let's make them kick towards the Kop in the first half.'

      Not noticed too many teams adopting strategy b of late but Bolton did today.

      Here's a warning to anyone else thinking of doing the same.

      4-0.

      I know, it's annoying isn't it? If we keep getting results like that though I couldn't give a sh*t! 8)

      Funny enough, I was in the Anny Road for a change this week!

      There you go.  Maybe we win every time we kick towards CRK in the second half.

      Is it always a draw when you go the Centenary?

      I don't think I've ever seen Liverpool lose when I've been in the Anny Road end.

      The Kop's got the best record for me! The Arsenal league game last season, Chelsea semi-final, etc! :)

      The only time when I've been on The Kop and we've lost was the last day of The Kop.  >:(
