Wrong mentality this, we shouldn't care what they do from now on.. we need to believe and stop worrying what they do.

Rather Cardiff lose making it far more simple and relegated as soon as possible.. Brighton and Burnley will be fully safe which suits us more.

It matters not two jots what we the fans worry about. If you're comment were about the players, then yes I agree.

Sterling goal against Watford ?
Kompany red card against us?
Dodgy pen against West Ham?
Offside goal against Palace

Sterling vs Watford yes. But I just remembered that you were massively lucky at Vicarage Road when Robertson cropped Will Hughes - stone dead penalty not given.
Kompany red card - debatable at best. And if Kompany went for that then so too should Lovren for his horror challenge on Aguero. So even there also.
Dodgy pen vs. West Ham - Anderson clearly brought down Bernardo. And if you start on soft penalties, you're going to drown in a deluge of Salah quicksand
Offside goal against Palace - cancelled out the phantom free kick they got for their goal which was a clear dive.

Here's a tip - you're not gonna win this. Cos the evidence is known to all non-Liverpool fans - you have been lucky with ref decisions and goalie fuck-ups to a level rarely seen in any season. The "Expected Points" analysis that someone posted earlier by an independent source quantifies your luck as +10 points. You better win it this year, cos it's highly unlikely that will happen again in our lifetimes.

well they beat Brighton last night which means a draw against the dippers will have them level (albeit brighton have a game in hand but a much harder run in on paper)

Cardiff have everything to play for this weekend

Brighton's game in hand is Spurs away. Spurs will be needing points for top 4, especially after Saturday ;-)
Can't see Brighton getting anything, there.

If we beat Spurs these 2 games I can see spurs struggling to win another game this season and excelling their own record by finishing 6th in a 3 horse race.

This is the level of respect the dippers showed at their 30th anniversary game at weekend

That's nothing compared to the 25th anniversary in 2014. One of the most ugly atmospheres ever there when they bricked our fans' minibus before the match, booed us throughout while throwing mssiles (I was right next to their fans) and then completed the day by attacking us at Lime Street Station. The drunken abuse they gave us outside the stadium just before and after the match was shocking given the occasion. And none of this was reported in the media. The press called them passionate fans but they behaved like animals. Matchgoing fans know what their support is really like.

Expect the usual Merseyside Police response, the same one when the team bus got battered by a riot of them in a POLICE escort last year.

"Despite reviewing the 50 cameras in Anfield, we could not identify an individual and we have come to doubt whether the incident even happened".

Here's a few more:
- Milner 2 yards offside against West Ham - they would have comfortably won that game otherwise - their goal was a foul after the defender pulled back Keita
- Origi blatantly offside in the same match - didn't score
- Salah offside in the equalizing goal against Southampton - Keita also had a clear penalty denied.
- Sterling rugby tackled by Robertson at the Etihad - Kompany should have got a red for his tackle at the Etihad.
- Fulham denied a perfectly good goal at Anfield by a phantom offside - it was clearly offside, and we still probably would have won the match
- Off the erroneous Liverpool free kick, Allison takes it while the ball still moving and Liverpool go up and score - as was Kane's in their equaliser against us
- Another Salah offside for the opening goal against Bournemouth - Really? One offside goal in a game we won 4-0

And what our friend has in return was an offside in an FA Cup game and an erroneous penalty in a CL game we won 6-0.

Other wrong decisions which have cost Liverpool this season:
Sadio Mane goal vs Arsenal should have stood
Maguire should have got a red card before scoring the equaliser when we played Leicester
Keita should also have got a penalty in that match
Alisson was blocked in the Burnley game

I won't deny that Liverpool have had some questionable decisions but most of the offside calls were very close (except against West Ham) and its not the easiest job in the world to be a referee.
Man City likewise have also had questionable decisions.

This link shows how decisions have impacted the games played.

At the end of the day, both teams have been excellent and you don't get to 80+ points through just 'dodgy refereeing'.
