Title Race 18/19

[Norbs]

Just looked it up.


Newcastle were 10 points clear on Xmas day, but then six points were shaved off during the next two games so they were only 4 points clear on New Year's day.

They then managed to get it up to that 12 point gap later in January when the Mancs lost a few games.

So the implication that a 7pt lead at New year is unassailable is pretty pointless

Who implied that?

Who implied that?

You'll argue that you didn't, but I'm not sure the point of posting numbers if they're not meant to imply something though

It was literally in response to your reply to Fuzzy's post with no comment or conclusion from me either way.

It literally could not have been more literal.

Btw, fwiw I don't think we'll realistically match the points total from the first half of the season, or get close to it.

If we do, it will be unprecedented.

There's a lot more points to be dropped by everyone, but we're in a fantastic position right now so kick back and enjoy it is all that I can say.

Jaco, not Fuzzy

You had commented earlier though regarding points and gaps and, like I said, I knew you'd argue that

I was adding balance to the suggestion that history says we couldn't lose it as we have a bigger lead than has ever been thrown away. Except we haven't.

I think we'll end the season with more than 90 points, what that brings us I don't know

Totally lost me. But hey no. On we go.

Anyone else fully expecting our line-up for City to be misteriously without a key player, only to be revealed later that it's due to some bust-up with Klopp / racism incident / disco fistfight / transfer request / 9-month injury, etc.?

Just not used to us doing so well without something going horribly wrong in the worst possible way, at the worst possible time - ever since that Gerrard fight after Newcastle, Suarez suspensions, Firmino accused of being a racist, Torres and Coutinho leaving mid-season, Alonso resenting Benitez and leaving, Masch leaving, Gerrard stomp at United, Gerrard slip, Karius in Kiev... Well some of those occured when we weren't exactly at the top, but still...

I don't think I could take any more of those, for once I just want us to go on and win the ****in thing

Bloody hell Fuzzy, are you plagued by visions of the apocalypse as well?

[Norbs]

I'd rather end our winning run against them than anyone else, it can't be said it's a game we'd expect to win.

4pts clear, no more away games against the top 6. FA Cup game next to banish the doubts. Let's go on and ****ing win this thing

[Buzzo]

First defeat of the season, hard to be overly critical. We played pretty well.

4 points clear

Also don’t need to worry about the unbeaten chat anymore.

Glad we’ve not got the League Cup semi finals.

Genuinely couldn't give a **** about the FA cup this year but players like Keita need some game time and it'd be great if he sxored or assisted or something to kick on from, our midfield needs him.

More desire from them perhaps tonight but it was a close game and a few friendly bounces the score would have been different.

I don't think Klopp does either but I think losing tonight kinda forces him in to having to field a strong side in R3 unfortunately
