Today's football.

So what Dave, I am more concerned about how Everton will do, you seem preoccupied with how will Liverpool do

 

[toffeejack]

It would, but only if Liverpool dont get given the title...in which case it'll be diminished - quite naturally too.

wouldn't diminish our achievement no, but would leave a sour taste in the mouth.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Sod it, I'm going to have another Guinness. If I drink enough I might convince myself that one of the other three times will win it

 

[Royal Blue Jersey]

I think you're the one out of step on this one mate.

United losing ground on us is scant consolation for three points going to Liverpool in a title run in.

This 100%

Arsenal now in at between 12/1 to 14/1 for the title. Same points as Liverpool and same games played, but people are backing them down to below 3/1....obviously taking note of the amount of leg ups they're getting from the officials.

I really wouldn't mind knowing what the stats are on this Liverpool bias. How many pens they've had; how many pens and sendings off their title rivals have had compared with Liverpool.

I'd guess it's an enormous difference.

Needs looking at in the media this. I noticed David Brent was trying to deflect from it post match today in the wake of the unprecedented three pens and a sending off at OT. Who has ever been given that sort of leg up in the past? It's just outrageous.

They were pens, get over it. You really are getting boring now, but give you stats:

Liverpool 6 for; 4 against
Chelsea 4 for; 0 against
City 4 for; 0 against
Arsenal 3 for; 5 against

now considering liverpool got 3 today then the answer to your question is NO; they are playing attacking football, scoring for fun and winning. Accept it and concentrate on Everton

 

[Jib in lad]

If they win it I am emigrating , its going to be unbearable living among them.

If we got a CL place I'd just about be able to keep down the sick if they won the title. EL place is not compensation enough. Great first season for the manager like, but just not even coming close to making up for that nightmare occurring.

 

[Toffeelover]

Dave we have had that nightmare for the last decade or more still say forget them and the Mancs concern yourself with our club

 

[Royal Blue Jersey]

The two best results for us today, plus a last minute winner yesterday and I feel unmoved.

The spectre of the club of sorrows getting a helping hand toward the PL trophy by refs who give them everything they appeal for is pissing me off no end.

Yesterday was ace. The unbridled, unexpected, unscripted last gasp joy of an injury time winner has to be one of the best feelings in the world. Makes it all worth it.

 

[Minimeister]

Their Macheda moment will come soon. Hopefully it'll be Cittee learning to defend again or Torres finding form.....so where are people thinking of emigrating too?

 

[Del]

Not even arsed if they win it

Most of you lot make it worse on yourselfs by reading the papers, watching them on Sky and listening to phone in's

Media black out on everything Red, Honestly it works a treat, Ive seen nothing of today except the score line, I won't see the goals/highlights and I won't read about it, I have done this for beards, Try it

 

[Duncan Disordely]

Really wanted two draws today, if Arsenal had drawn we would have been 9 points behind them with a game in hand and to play them at Goodison.

Thanks Chang. Plain to see what's going on there. Also the red card treatment too:

Liverpool 0
City 1
Chelsea 3
Arsenal 3

That's unreal. How can you forget them and factor them out? Getting 4th in 2005...meant very little after they won the CL a month later.

It's an abstraction to talk about football as if it were just about your club...it really isn't, it's about doing better than your rivals....more especially your local rivals. Doing something that is not comparable in status is just not satisfying. It's just not.
