How is it silly ? Spurs seem to be getting the rub of the green right now or have been grinding out wins .
I can honestly say the quicker spurs start loosing the better . Plus if I was 2nd , 3rd or 4th I would be happy to see a rival beat a team that's in 5th because it allows a cushion . Spurs are only 6 points behind LFC and Arsenal . So they can still catch both teams .

Spurs are on the heels of Arsenal and Liverpool.

They could be level on points with both teams in two weeks if results go their way.

you should always worry about the nearest rivals. dont worry about spurs. we can and should treat them the same way we will treat sunderland. its a game we need to win not to keep them from catching us, but for us to get 3 points closer to the title.

when you are in a marathon you are told to never look behind you. looking back will slow you down. if you keep looking ahead then you will keep going as fast as you can. forget spurs the same way we forgot everton and united.

i hope spurs beat arsenal and chelsea. the same way i hope we beat them because we have to. im sure chelsea and arsenal fans will see it the same way

and if they are it means chelsea have dropped 3 points and in your scenario we havent lost any points yet

I don't see us taking City and Chelsea at home and even if we do, they both have to drop points somwhere else along the line.

I'm massively happy with the season don't get me wrong, but I really don't see where the title talk is coming from. And that's before we discuss our glass defense.

Liverpool are 2nd in the table. It's virtually impossible to be in that situation and not attract title talk. Not much the club can do about it apart from start losing games.

To have a chance though I think Liverpool would have to win 8 or 9 of their remaining games though. Chelsea's run-in is almost ideal for them.

To be crystal clear - I was not suggesting for one second that Rodgers had no less of a clearing out job. I just think that people sometimes forget how much dead wood Kenny was faced with when they negatively assess his transfer record.

I know, just highlighting the amount of players that have been shipped out since we were in the CL.

Everything is conspiring against Arsenal fans right now. We're above them, Spurs are catching them, a tough set of fixtures ahead with Giroud to interested in his hair. Smacks of desperation

An Arsenal mate of mine sent me the #FreeSuarez hashtag in the summer.

I didn't know it referred to any petition!

So an imprisoned Suarez is leading the league in both goals and assists?

Can't wait to see the freed man version. We'll have the title in the bag.

I think it's more that they want him for free having splunked a few seasons transfer budget on Ozil.

Just had a tweet retweeted 5 times.

I can give up now. I'm done.

Arsenal's last 5 games are all against lower opposition (from memory, apologies if I'm wrong), so If we are 5+ points ahead of them at time I reckon we;ll be grand, otherwise we'll still be looking over our shoulders at them. If they pick up form and start winning games against Chelsea and so on, then it really could be still stupidly tight between the top 4. Anything can really happen at this stage, and to be in the middle of it is fantastic at this stage of the season. I think Santa Claus must have read my wishlist carefully at Christmas:

1. Win the league (top 3 if you can't do the impossible, top 4 if needs be)
2. Keep Suarez for next season too.
3. A good surprise signing in the summer.
4. Something non football related, but I'm easy on that.

This is probably something more poker related than anything, so sorry if it's lost on some, but I'm officially using my 'One Time' on Liverpool winning the league this season.

burrenguy

so lads. What do you think of Liverpools title chances?
Personally I can see them finishing 3rd (ahead of arsenal who have a very tough run coming up), but I can't really see them breaking into the top two (Chelsea and Man City).

I even heard talk somewhere of a Liverpool fan in this category, but I refuse to believe it.

I SAID I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT!

Don't let jacksparrow fool you's, lads. He's only trying to distract you while his other Arsenal buddies sneak round back and try to free Suarez.

That is the logical outcome (or a small variation thereof), but it's great to be in a position to dream for a change. This is probably only the 3rd or 4th time in 22 years that we have been even in sniffing distance at this point. While I'm maintaining realistic views, I see no problems in the bullish expression of belief.

For any of those who may be bookmarking posts in the event of a LFC capitulation or whatever, go and steal ice creams from children or burst their balloons or whatnot.

As Stunners go, that one is pretty awkward. Doesn't flow from the kick to the head grab.

@Kess just a quick question I remember reading you saying when I joined towards the end of last year that Sterling was seen to be hanging out in the wrong areas of Liverpool with the wrong type of people not sure used those words exactly.

My question has this stopped and has he settled down in Liverpool. It just seems like he is a more focused player over the last few months with no distractions at all. Before this current run you could see distractions in the lad.

Looking back on it, it reminded of the Suarez penalty incident against Arsenal :pac:

Speak Now

Flanno talking on talksport.

Banned the last 2 weeks so Ive missed been involved in the discussion, just a few points..

Title, title- starting to believe we could do it but I still see Chelsea's name on the trophy. I definitely think we can finish top 3 which would be just huge, the transfer plans with CL football could start straight away.

Suarez - the guy is an absolute genius, from his goal, to sterling's pass and then to roping Fonte into an obvious challenge, he has to be the most intelligent player I have ever seen in my 20 year of watching football. Messi and Ronaldo are fantastic players and are better than Suarez but they don't have the football brain this guy has. He deserves to win a PL title.

Borini - absolute nonsense that he cant come back to us and be a very decent squad player. He mugged arguably the top cb in the league and topped it with a brilliant finish. Only 22 , plenty of time on his side.

Rodgers - to get this squad to where we are in march and playing which such confidence is a miracle imo. Outside of SSS and coutinho, there isn't a lot of quality in this squad. Henderson has been great and has Gerrard but that's about it. We have a top young manager here who is improving his tactial knowledge game by game.

Well don't know if he has stopped hanging out with the same people, but by all accounts he is not being seen hanging out in the same places.


He was pretty hard to miss last year, as he would be seen with certain groups around the entrances of shops and what not.


Have a feeling that Rodgers had a word behind the scenes, and possibly micromanaged some aspects of Sterling's social life similar to what Ferguson did when the likes of Giggs etc were coming through the ranks at Man U.
