What if Liverpool won the title?

[Brennan]

No, but they have easier fixtures than us with key players to return.

This is a side that battered us a few weeks ago now we are nailed on to beat them according to some

They didn't batter us lad. The scoreline flattered. That golden chance for Ross goes in at 1-1 and it's a totally different game.

They wont win it. They're on an 8 game winning streak that WILL end, ie. they are due a bad run.

An injury to any of their first 11 and they are f***** IMO. The Sunderland game highlighted how much their league position is getting to them (which is understandable).

Amen brother.

Christ Dave I was hanging on to your positive vibes about the RS blowing up - 'kin gone now.

Desperate stuff isn't it?

Quite seriously I booked a week in a remote location in spain yesterday for the last week of the season, can't bear the idea of seeing that plague of locusts on the street.

I hadn't counted on Chelsea and City looking flaky (well, Chelsea anyway, though City should have held that lead today too...champions elect would have done).

Liverpool will be top tomorrow and I fear it'll take a Herculean effort from City to wrench it from them that will just be beyond them.

Chelsea are done for. Mourinho said that today and for once I dont believe it was spin.

nothings won in March.

True. But the writing on the wall is looming large.

I think they are a very hungry outfit, Liverpool. And in Gerrard they have an experienced leader.

I'd be staggered if they dropped more than 2 or 3 points on the run in. For that reason today was a disaster.

[Poor language removed] liverpool , I'd rather have [Poor language removed] poured into my ears than listen to their fans [Poor language removed] over their league title win.

Far from ideal I agree.

BUT, City and Chelsea have both won it recently. I think the pressure will start to tell on the RS moreso than the others. I can see their fawning media plants and gobo fans being the undoing. They'll be romanticizing everything under the sun and heaping massive pressure on them.

Add to that the spawn affect and its going to happen .

It'll be interesting seeing them react to that.

There's a few red card and pen situations they'll get. As sure as night follows day that's going to happen.

I'd expect Ferguson or Mourinho to pipe up with something clever with 3-4 games left too.

 

[CrabbyPaddy]

If they win it, I'll let Brenda tank me with his ladyboy's black strapon. They can't keep up that momentum.

I hope so mate.

To me though it looks like a runaway train atm. I was shocked today at how lame Chelsea were (and they could and should have been beaten out of sight by Palace), and by how City failed to press on from the HT advantage they had...at this time of year that's what a champion team does. Pellegrini doesn't look capable of stepping up. He never has anywhere in fact.

 

[nigelcoyb]

I just don't trust City, the year they won the thing they tried to blow it at home against QPR ffs plus Wigan doing them in the final.

The other thing is (and it showed again today) they drift, they have these periods of passing aimlessly everyone is static, Yaya Toure falls asleep for minutes at a time, and teams get in amongst them.

The RS at anfield have the perfect game direct and full of running, they'll kill them.

Stop writing - depressing myself
