Title Race 18/19

[Needles]

The rate I'll be ageing during some of the upcoming games I might have a few years on you by then

Get something from the Man City game and then ensure no banana skins from the next 6 (easy looking) league games

[Needles]

I want to get excited but 2014 is still fresh in the memory and I won't allow myself to think of what might be until we do it.

Even at 4-1 today I wouldn't allow myself to get too excited. I was 8 last time we won the title and have faint memories of it but that's it.

Agreed. There'll be enough time to crow over the summer

[Marina]

I was born in 1992 and almost every time I get excited about anything this team is on the cusp of accomplishing, I end up disappointed. Not getting excited yet. Defense mechanism for sure! Too emotionally invested and the feeling of having one’s hopes dashed is really quite terrible.

[Chris]

Hope we rest everyone at Wolves, get the feeling he doesn't really like doing that and normally I'd agree as I'm sick of years passing and us winning **** all but this situation is too unique for us to risk anyone. Feels like an ideal chance to give the lads a breather for a few days.

Not like Mig, Clyne, whoever, whoever, Moreno, Hendo, Keita, Lallana, Shaq, Sturridge, Origi wouldn't have a chance v them anyway.

[Slinky Skills]

Also the possibility that City beat Southampton and then us, at which point they are only 4 points behind us. I'm not getting excited yet.

Obviously I'll wet myself if we beat City.

Eyup,

I'm going on the road trip of my life through the UK with my best mate (who's German, but English in spirit) in May. I've made sure it's May, because we're going to be in Liverpool with at least 1 million fans having the greatest party of the 21st century!!! I am visualising it. It's already happening on this quantum timeline!

I'd rather get all up for the whole run-in, every game feels so special (my dad's a Spurs fan, so are his mates, their proper getting it from me!!!). It's nothing like 2013/14, because then it was all Suarez. Now we have the Shaman, the Conductor, the High Priest, Top-Down-Top-Dog, who KNOWS it's more than just about football. It's about the holy trinity. Fans. Players. Manager. And he conducts that ****

As a great great friend once said: "If you want 10 out of 10 in life, you have to take the 1 out of 10. Otherwise, you just bop around 5 or 6, never getting 10, never getting 1."

It's my 50th in March. Thinking of going over for the Chelsea game at Easter.

Don't want to jinx things by booking.

What to do!!?

Completely agree. I'd even play the u19s if we could

Book it! What are you waiting for? The Day Of Judgement? Heaven?

Good to see you, Sean, hopefully you'll be having an absolute banger in May

Defo wouldn't mind seeing Curtis Jones.

From the beeb:

Liverpool have accrued 54 points from their opening 20 Premier League games this season; under the system of three points for a win, only Chelsea (55 in 2005-06) and Manchester City (58 in 2017-18) have ever had more at this stage in English top-flight history.

Thanks Polo, always good to read you! I'm here every day, just so you know, just don't post any longer (although I do reply very often in my head! hehhehehehe)

It's going to be the greatest epic time of all times. It's written in the stars. There was such a poignant, unnoticed article/interview recently on the LFC website with Milner, where he mentioned in passing "... that all we do is focus on the present moment...". And that's the zen thing. It's the past and the future that gets in the way of things. It's the present where it's at. And I believe that comes all the way down from the manager, it has to, why would Milner say it otherwise? And I believe this attitude of and towards the present, which filters through the Klopp interviews (in comparison to say Moaninho "I won this and that, I achieved this and that) aligns with the orbits of the stars at present and will lead us to glory.

There are times in the universe, in football (which is the greatest storyteller of all time), where the stars align, where little things just seem to go your way (like today, Arsenal could have easily had 2 penalties)... where those little little decisions just seem to fall your way, where Fernandinho gets injured, Jorginho signs for Chelsea, where Liverpool waited for van Dijk, where Alisson makes those saves... when you start watching the games like that, you start to believe, where those stars are aligning. And in my quantum universe, they've aligned already...

My dad gave me a book the other day, which I read in an hour... Roddy Doyle - Mad Weekend. And it's about 3 young Liverpool fans from Dublin flying over to Liverpool for the Chelsea game a few months after our win in Istanbul. And it's basically just about these lads in Liverpool pubs, going to the game.... and I was THERE, in that book, in 2019, in Liverpool, with my best mate and in the greatest madhouse city on Earth. And THATS WHY, we're going to win the league. In my quantum timeline, it's happening. Klopp knows - otherwise he would never have said "We need to turn doubters into believers". It all starts in the mind!!

[brightred]

Book it! What are you waiting for? The Day Of Judgement? Heaven?

Sean

You're dead right man...going for it!


Will read the Roddy Doyle book on the plane.
