Liverpool are playing some amazing football this season. Its one touch counter attacking passing one weak and great build up play the next.

Your defense may get exposed in the run in but we have been saying that all season and your still there. Chelsea, City and Spurs all have to go to Anfeild, that will be a major advantage for you, that and being fresh each week.

City and Liverpool will be a cracker, City wont park the bus like Mourinho and it might leave them open like Arsenal and Everton to the counter. attack. Spurs will probably have to win at Anfield so it might leave them open. We all know what Mourinho will do but I'd fancy us at Anfield.

That video is further evidence that Richie Sadlier is the best pundit on RTE, I've thought that since I seen his analysis of the world cup qualifiers.

Well reasoned arguments based on clear facts, as opposed to the sensationalism and heads in the sands stuff that the rest of them constantly show.

I feel bad for Sadlier. May as well be voicing his opinions on The Den.

Oh give me a break. If Gerrard finishes his career with no Premier League medals, it would be hilarious.

It's worrying me at this stage - I actually think it's Liverpools's to loose now. If they beat United at OT I think they could go all the way.

Livepool could win every match from here to the end of the seaons and still finish 3rd.

Well that true also but in terms of being a one man club and quality etc I wouldn't deny him.....





......but on the other hand we wouldn't have the jokes.

after not winning the title in ages united came close to winning it the year before they actually did , there is a theory that you can't come out of nowhere to win it, that you have to had at least a close run at it the previous season

I remember when united won it that bryan robson was a fading force and didn't play that much and he got his medal - maybe the same will happens with gerrard next season or the season after, hitory repeating and all that

Was just thinking similar earlier. It would be a bitter pill to swallow this season, far more than it would next season or the one after that, simply because it would kind of come out of nowhere. Even City and Chelsea with all their money took a while to crack it.
We kind of got used to both of them knocking on the door, it would soften the blow a bit if they were challenging for a while beforehand.

Ah yeah, but then you go down the pointless 'ah they'll never win the title' rubbish after their first and second failed challenge. In 2004 and 2011 there was a lot of 'ah it will never happen' sentiment for the two respectively. I always felt it was a case of when rather than if for both.

Just as the return of Utd to the mix in the short to medium term is inevitable. Liverpool winning the league over the coming period is a million miles away from that. My honest feeling is that this chance mightn't come around for a while if it isn't taken.

I get you but I'm just saying that from a United fan's perspective. I obviously hope they don't ever win it but it wouldn't be as hard to take if we were used to there being a chance they would.

England captain Steven Gerrard has two FA cups, three league cups, one champions league, one Uefa cup, two Uefa super cups, and many more indivdiual medals,

So i'm sure it won't hurt the legend of the man

Enjoy your 6 years of Dithering Dave.

Think as things stand the season's dead and buried now anyways. We're not going to overturn Olympiakos unless Moyes is canned before the second leg which frankly is not going to happen so there really isn't anything to play for this year, dont think anybody here is particularly bothered about qualifying for the Europa league. May as well stick it out, have a replacement in line and give the fella his p45 in May.

There's no argument really why he shouldn't be sacked, it doesnt hold water really. Consider that United have three wins out of twelve this year. That is absolutely ****ing horrendous, relegation form by all means. It's worse when you note that that includes being dumped out of all cup competitions and we played the bottom 6 in that spell, with the wins coming against Crystal Palace, Cardiff and Swansea. There really isnt any other club in football that would still even have Moyes in charge by now so it's commendable that the fanbase and ownership hasnt turned on him. Enough is enough now though. Manchester United do not ****ing do dead seasons by the end of February.

Maybe he won't but I think Liverpool will next season. With the way Rodgers has 'Pool playing its very realistic. The defending ain't great but attacking wise it's the best football being played in the EPL.

Suarez and Sturridge have 1 less goal than the United team put together in the league. The wife is prettier.

The poll is pointless; unless it excludes ABUs who are enjoying his uselessness in the role, you're better off ignoring it. Cause I would guess a large number of those explanations are "He is killing the club and I love it.

City will, the money they have plus the football they play is unreal, you talk about Suarez and Sturridge, Aguero has been out for weeks and Negredo has banged them in, Suarez will be off to Real or Barca, his new deal smacks of Ronaldo's last year with us.

Think Big Dave and Anders will disagree with u...

I think Moyes position will be determined by the next 3 or 4 games. Poor performances against the Scouse, Olympiakos, and City will see him gone imo. Just cant see the club standing by him if our performances are s**t in those games.

In fairness he has identified and scouted the right players that would improve us, but in reality I think the chances of us getting Kroos, Vidal, Pogba, Fabergas etc are very slim. If Kroos leaves BM he will more than likely end up at Real or Barca. Vidal or Pogba likewise with BM and PSG also in the mix.

It's easily understandable. It's like a perfect storm this season - Moyes decimation of Utd along with Rodgers having Liverpool as title contenders.

Tbf most of them have made good contributions to the thread and been quite level headed. They must be pretty intoxicated from the combination of the fantastic season their team is having, mixed with the collapse of Utd, so fair play to them really.

I really hope you are right but have a horrible feeling he will be kept for longer and it may be a couple of months into next season before he finally gets the boot.

If Pool get offered 100 million then I guess he'd be sold but can't see it happening. At the least we should have CL football next season which Suarez really wants to be involved in.

If Utd fail to get CL for next season do you think RVP will try force a move?

I don't think so, he has 2 years left on his contract, earning £250K a week, he won't get that from anyone.

If Madrid don't win the CL this year, then they'll spend whatever it takes on Suarez or Aguero.

I don't think Madrid want Suarez, Aguero probably.

Question for ye...

If you had a choice, which would you take at this exact moment to get our season on track?

A 27 year old Roy Keane, would had so much to our midfield and would give a good kick up the hole that some players need

or

Cristiano Ronaldo

I dunno, they made a pretty big move to try and sign Suarez last year, and City only need to sell if they want rid of a player, which will never happen with Aguero.
