Fcuk me lads, did anyone in their wildest dreams even think we would get this close?

We have Chelsea and City to play, both times at home. If we win both matches, you would think that makes us Champions.

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, as I remember seeing a lot of "no way we can make top 4 now" comments at the end of January. It makes me worried that some people in here might think they know more than they do.

In all seriousness, it's nice to be up there but 2nd or 3rd will be more than enough for this season and hopefully we can push on to really compete in the next 2 seasons.

Grayditch

Didn't think we'd make top 4 in Jan, with the lack of new signings, and the defence acting the fool so much.

Rodger's stepped up his tactics and the forwards went on a mad one. Might even make top 4...

Honestly don't believe that we'll have a better chance of lifting the PL trophy for a while. I acknowledge we are where we are because we deserve to be but I never in my craziest dreams expected this.
Just win our remaining games and GD won't come into it.

NabyLadistheman

That was f**kin beautiful to watch today. Midfield in control, full-backs in full flight, Johnno's best game in yonks. The front quartet scintillating. Such a confidence running through the whole team. Second half was a performance of a team who know they can score at any opportunity and have their destiny in their own hands.

Sure we're dodgy as hell sometimes at the back but the goals conceded today were individual errors (Allen & Gerrard) As Rodgers says we're on the back of 2 strong away clean-sheets. I can't wait for our next match!!

Skrtel is level on goals with £26 million Goldado :eek:

Johnson was great at getting forward today, the 1st goal was an absolute beauty!!

Skrtel reborn
Centre-back Martin Skrtel has scored more Premier League goals than former team-mate Fernando Torres this season and the Slovakian epitomises Liverpool's flawed-but-fantastic performances. Peter Fraser analyses Saturday's thrilling win at Cardiff City...

Still wish we had Soldado. So we could play him at the back. Goals don't happen wherever he is.

emmmm, hang on,why wait 2 years ..were up there now, 2nd or 3rd is in no way enough since we are this close..

go for the jugular

marno21

Skrtel has scored the same amount of league goals this season as Andy Carroll did in his entire Liverpool career.

We've come a long way since this time 2 years ago, scoring 6 goals away is some joy to watch.

We will have Champions League distractions next year.

http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1759064/daniel-sturridge-reveals-fernando-torres-influence-signing-liverpool?cc=5739

Daniel Sturridge has revealed to the Daily Mail how former Liverpool striker Fernando Torres convinced him that moving to Anfield was the right choice.

Sturridge has scored 28 goals in 35 league games since heading north from Chelsea, where he endured a disappointing four-year spell.

The England international has revealed how he spoke to Torres, who enjoyed a prolific time in front of the Kop before heading to Stamford Bridge in a British record 50 million-pound deal, prior to joining the Merseyside club.

"[Torres] always spoke very highly about Liverpool," Sturridge told the Daily Mail.

"When we were at Chelsea together he would say, 'Liverpool are amazing'. It wasn’t just him -- it was Yossi Benayoun as well. They both said, 'That club is the best I have played for’.

"They said the fans will make you feel amazing and, at the time, I thought I need a bit of that in my life because I was low right then.

"I need to feel good about myself, so it was an easy decision to come here. My dad [Michael], my uncle [Dean, the former Derby striker] and I all shared the same opinion: this was the best place to go.

"When Liverpool came in, it was one of those situations that I just wanted to get up the M6 as quick as possible, sign on the dotted line and get to work.

"I was desperate to get here and show what I could do. I was hungry and I am still hungry. There is so much for us to achieve."

Sorry if this is a repost.

Ibrahimović has 25 and C.Ronaldo has 25.

Or did both players get 5 and 4 retrospectively in games that PSG and Real did not play.?

Or are you just drunk happy maybe

This Unirea?

BBC1 at 10.30pm
#‎MOTD‬ 1.Chelsea/Arsenal, 2.Cardiff/Liverpool, 3.Man City/Fulham, 4.West Ham/Man Utd, 5.Norwich/Sunderland, 6.Everton/Swansea, 7.Hull/West Brom, 8.Newcastle/Crystal Palace.

MaroonAndGreen

If you look at Chelsea's fixtures you would expect:

Palace (A) - WIN
Stoke (H) - WIN
Swansea (A) - WIN
Sunderland (H) - WIN
Liverpool (A) - ???
Norwich (H) - WIN
Cardiff (A) - WIN.

Them 6 potential wins would leave Chelsea on 87, and possibly more depending on the result at Anfield. Considering Chelsea wont slip up in them 6 games, they look very good and 87 points looks unassailable unless Liverpool are 100% perfect and City almost perfect.

Liverpool's fixtures:

Sunderland (H)- WIN
Spurs (H) - WIN
West Ham (A) - WIN
City (H) - ???
Norwich (A) - WIN
Chelsea (H) - ???
Palace (A) - WIN
Newcastle (H) - WIN

So Liverpool have their 6 ''bankers'' too. Which would get them up to 83 points. So 2 wins vrs City and Chelsea would give them 89, and pretty much make them champions. But winning every single game? I dunno. Certaintly in with a shout but I think they made need another slip from Chelsea along the way.

City's fixtures:

United (A) - ???
Arsenal (A) - ???
Southampton (H) - WIN
Liverpool (A) - ???
Sunderland (H) - WIN
West Brom (H) - WIN
Palace (A) - WIN
Everton (A) - ???
Villa (H) - WIN
West Ham (H) - WIN

City have 6 ''bankers'' there. Which would guarantee them 81 points. Meaning they need just 6 more from their 4 games at United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton to get to Chelsea's 87 points (and overtake them on goal difference). Can City find 2 wins from them 4 games? Or 3 draws and 1 win?

Anyhow, for City 87 is the magic number.
Its looking like 88 is the number for Chelsea/Liverpool.

How can you call this? Never seen it as close between 3 teams at this stage.

Jaysus lads, getting shot of Carroll for £17M was a lucky break. He's so one dimensional it's unreal.

Suarez scores another hatrick and BBC headline is "Rooney Runs Riot", English bias there is unreal.

Anything other than a City win for me but best result would have to be a utd win.

That would be all sorts of a bad result for us. Utd win or draw is far more preferable, although I won't be actively cheering utd, but I want them to win.

Just after watching Stewart downing Christ he is shocking

Utd win please. They are more or less insignificant in the top 4 race.

They might go into it now with a bit of confidence anyway.

Can't see them winning it but might sneak a draw.
