Bless him, he's written us off so much he's forgotten what he was saying!
Ha ha![Goes to get his calculator out]
WRONG! They would need one more point from two games.Chippy_boy said:You know it's only just dawned on me (I'm slow) that should Liverpool win on Sunday and we were to lose at Palace, it's all over and they have won the bloody league.
Come on Chelsea FFS!!!
Too inconsistent. Throwing away 17 points to Sunderland (twice!), Cardiff, Villa, Stoke, a poor (at that time) Arsenal and Norwich has killed us. We got 4 point from those games; if we could even have got up to 9 or 10 points from the 21 that were available, we'd be laughing now. And yes; every side gets poor results, not just us. The table doesn't lie though; Liverpool would seem to have had fewer of those types of results, combined with the phenomenal run they're on at the moment. Can't really see us winning 11 (plus another 3?) on the spin; we're always likely to throw in a daft result in that number of games.bluemoon32 said:No point blaming Chelsea if they play a weakened side, they have to do what's best for their club.
We threw it away by bottling it and have only ourselves to blame.
I still believe we're the best team in the league but we just haven't shown it enough when we really needed to.
Same here. Never minded them all too much until this season. But the sheer inanity of that rent-a-quote bellend Rogers and his bollocks about doing things the right way, together with the shameless instrumentalisation of the Hillsborough anniversary to garner favour has tipped me over the edge.Chippy_boy said:mancity1 said:MSP said:But they'd play Champions League final and make 10 millions or so. That's like getting Salah on free.
And you never know, nobody thought they'd beat Bayern at Allianz last time, or they'd beat Barcelona but they did. Parking the bus like they did at Atletico could potentially win you any game, specially when you're good in doing it like they are.
They would be idiots to not prioritize Champions League now. PL title is all but gone for them now as they need 2 teams to slip, not just one.
Plus, it's not like their weakened team is Cardiff quality, they can still get a result even with weakened team so it's worth to try it, and keep their best players fresh for Atletico.
Cech , Terry , Ramieriez and, Hazard will be out due to injury and suspension so they have little option to field a weakened side.
That's the kind of good luck Liverpool are enjoying this season.
Its should be no surprise to anyone that they are favourites to win the league this season given what has transpired.
They may still blow it despite the cards falling in their lap.
Hard to envisage now though, isn't it.
I fear we are going to have to let them have their moment in the sun and hope to god they drop back into obscurity for another 20 years afterwards. It will mean we will have to avoid all media for a few months though, unless you are keen on vomiting.
Funny thing is, I never really minded Liverpool that much - apart from their scummy captain. But since they have been so utterly nauseating lately, I find myself despising them and the prospect of them winning it is just sickening.

Would love us to win it but we are inconsistent and lack the right mental strength.
The manager is not flexible enough and his tactics are one dimensional.
Every game is different but he is a one trick pony.
Holistic or not, he has underachieved and we are not as good as we think.
If we won it, whilst delighted it would paper over cracks.
Major changes to this squad needed im afraid
Stick to the saxophone Kenny
You sir owe me a new keyboard co'z I just spill my coffee reading your comment :)
