Title Race

and neither will happen so it makes no difference.

Its unlikely but to be fair you haven't a clue what will happen.

[ChrisDR1968]

Yup it s unlikely but stranger things have happened.

At least we've taken it to the last day of the season which we didn't do in 1997, 2002 and 2009.

I know it can be excruciating at times but I love Rodgers' gung-ho style of play. You score 4 we'll score 5!

A couple of good defensive signings in the off season and with a bit more depth added to the squad the future could be bright... it could be red

We will never win anything with that gung ho style though. Its just like kevin keegans newcastle...

We serisouly need a top defesive coach to come in and teach them to defend as a unit... and sack Glenn Johnson.

We seriously need a top defensive coach to come in and teach them to defend as a unit... and sack Glenn Johnson.

We will. Had it not been for that Gerrard slip which wasn't because of the gung ho style btw, we'd have had a better chance at the moment.

The problem is that individually we have made the highest number of errors that led to a goal in the Prem. We need better defenders in 1v1 situations be it winning the ball in the air or closing down a cross or whatever.

[Shaggy]

Everywhere I listen to at the moment, they're acting as though this year was our one and only chance at challenging for the league, because of the instability at our rivals.

**** off. We were concerned about getting 4th at the start of the season. We've got Champions League money coming in, a manager eyeing 6 new recruits to beef up the squad at the very least, and one of the youngest squads in the league, with plenty of scope for improvement.

Why is everyone so convinced that this is our one shot? Get to ****. This is just the start.

[Shaggy]

It's devastating but this group will be back stronger than ever, we dont have owners who'll wreck the team this time and we arent an old squad. Any Manc, Chelsea etc cunts thinking we'll fall away because we have a few more games now are deluded.

On the plus side I win over 23 grand if City win the league so can go and sulk abroad for a few months though I still hope the bet loses but no chance now.

Twenty three grand?!?!

[Alex]

I keep reading the same.

We will be better next year. So might Chelsea and City. But so will we.

Players will want to come to us, they will have seen how we play. No ****er is going to pick Spurs/Utd/Arsenal over us now.

The automatic place for the CL is a god send too, as we can get players in straight away without having to get through a qualifier.

Wishful thinking by them. We're going nowhere. Sterling will be a top 3 player in the world in a couple of years.

City have little room for improvement. We have tons. Chelsea without Hazard are a joke. It might even itself out with the addition of a top class striker, and it might not.

[Havors]

That is wishful thinking! He has great potential but will never be one of the top 3 players in the world. Lets be realistic.

On another note, we need at least 5 excellent players to give us a chance of competing in the league and europe next year.

I personally would break the bank and piss all the blue noses off and offer 25m+ for Barkley, that lad has the potential to be the next Gerrard.

[meffin]

Blessing in disguise.

Losing the title on GD would have been gut wrenching, losing by points is slightly less terrible.

Also, this doesn't really change that much- if City lose 1, we still win it. It also might make City ease of knowing they only need 4 points- leaving them vulnerable.

I feel more confident now than I did before the game for some reason...

[Shaggy]

Just imagine if Villa win tomorrow night

[john316]

I'd be watching the Title Parade from a hospital bed if Citeh blew it from here.

[Gibbo]

For the first time in my life I think the City game will be one I will be unable to watch.

Last time I didn't though Sunderland did a job, just hope Villa turn up to fight.

[Yozza]

I'm sick of every **** saying this... a few reasons why it's bollocks

We're ahead of our development schedule
We've a young squad (with one or two exceptions) 6 hopefully the likes of Suso, Teixeira, Wisdom will be knocking on the door
Our attacking style will not change - but hopefully it'll be refined & developed next year
'but Man U, Chelsea etc will strengthen' - so will we & we have the CL to dangle as a carrot to sign the next level of players
Being in the CL will hamper us next year - undoubtedly we'll have more games to play yes but we'll also have a bigger better squad to cope
The players will have learnt from this years experience
We have the best young manager in the business who will learn from his few **** ups this year
&...
We have Suarez

We will challenge again next year.....
