We are going to win the league this season.

As I predicted, Arsenal are plumetting and still have some tough, tough fixtures to come. City's fixture pile will take it's toll soon, as will Chelsea CL run. We will twat them both at Anfield and win the league.

Show your reasoning with the workings out for this please - you are not mistaking the Man City game for a league game are you?

Wooooops my bad getting ahead of myself, not tomorrow but in reality when they finally play their games in hand i think we can expect them to come back ahead into second when they play their League games.

Sorry for the mess up.

Massive game this. Nervous, but confident. If we win, we go level on points with Arsenal in 2nd. stay at most 6 infront of Spurs. Neither us or Arsenal play next weekend. Spurs do, against Chelsea.

Assuming Spurs win tomorrow, they go into game with Chelsea 6 points behind Arsenal, and then play them, with chance to cut the gap to 3 points.

Huge run of games for Spurs - hope they do damage to Chelsea and Arsenal. Lets assume two draws..

If we win today, next up is Utd away. Win/draw there and we're effectively a game clear of Arsenal because of GD and two points behind Chelsea with them to come at Anfield. Ten clear of Spurs, probably in 5th spot.

Precisely, whatever the case at the end of the season, they have let us dream again. Solidify top four and i will have no complaints at all!

I think for me it is the manner of play that has been so encouraging this season, our attacking play is so good that we always have a chance of winning any game we play and our defence would looka lot more solid if we had managed to have even the slightest consistency of selection this season even if it does lack a clear leader.

Just looking at the run of games. Its cliched to say but you've got to get the next game over and done with and the points in the bag, but if we can get to April and still be in contention - say at 69 points then it really is game on with Chelsea and Man City having to come to Anfield.

Both great teams though and juggling a lot of balls.

Byrneand · « **Reply #3290 on:** March 1, 2014, 07:26:44 pm »

Arsenal and Spurs both potentially got nightmare runs in March

Mr_Shane · « **Reply #3291 on:** March 1, 2014, 07:28:32 pm »

4th is not the target anymore. We do not need any help to get 3rd now.... We still need help to go higher than that, but we need help in only two games.... man city and Chelsea need to drop points in one of their remaining games

JohnHobbes · « **Reply #3292 on:** March 1, 2014, 07:29:28 pm »

Right now, the prophetic individuals who thought Arsenal would be the ones fighting for fourth look to be right on the mark.

With this season, I'd hate to call the final positions and where we'll be. Hopefully second or above! Third is most likely and that's fine with me

I don't feel like it's my place to give an opinion on your team but I think the game with Man U is bigger than ever, imo it will be pivotal because if you win that then the belief is gonna go through the roof.

Stating the obvious a bit but it's such a big match now.

We'll clear 80 points. Its all down to the home games vs City and Chelsea. Its all down to those 2 games. Win them and its fucking eternal glory. COME ON.

The season will end with Arsenal, Man city, Chelsea and us occupying the top 4 positions, the order they will be in is up for debate though

Shaved Crossbar · « **Reply #3299 on:** March 1, 2014, 07:38:29 pm »

I've thought this for a long time... us winning the title is down to Chelsea dropping enough points.

Agree. Man City can go above them if they win their games in hand though. For me Chelsea and City are favorites, but Chelsea edge it because of their easier remaining fixtures.

There is no battle for 4th anymore. If someone above us want to battle us for it, I'd give it away and take 3rd.

Do people still think that we are in a battle for 4th?

We will fucking rip you apart at Anfield, being your dirty shithouse tactics. They won't work at Anfield. Can't wait to send shitcoar and Torres crying back all the way down the M1.

Yes, Man United, Man City, Spurs, Chelsea to play in our last 10 games, we aren't certain of 4th and even getting 4th doesnt guarantee champs league as Everton and Newcastle will testify-

DyingAtheist · « **Reply #3309 on:** March 1, 2014, 07:49:24 pm »

I'd love to believe that we can really challenge for the title - and hell, we are, but I do think it's going to be out of our reach this season and that Chelsea are going to take it.
That's fine though, the fact that we're 4 points off in March is amazing considering where we were last season (and many before that...). It only gets better from here, and I think most people on here would have bitten your hand off for fourth at the start of this season - so, if that's where we finish, there's still a lot to be proud of!

Cant worry about others run in's, all we can do is focus on our last 10 games and win each and every one, if we do that... we've every chance.

If we're still 4 points off Chelsea when they come Anfield then I'll dare to dream. If we're 4 points behind going into that game, John Terry's arse will be twitching like it was 05.

This.

A win here would put them 1 point ahead and seriously their arse would be falling out.

What about Tottenham and Arsenal? If both can get an away draw that's the four points gap right there. Of course we'll have to capitalize.

Nah we need to be going above them before or by winning that game. Their last two are at home to Norwich and away to hapless Cardiff.

They have to play Arsenal, Spurs and us at they very least, with a potential nine points dropped there. Apart from that - Swansea, Stoke and Villa - are the best bets from them losing points.

It depends on their CL involvement, they have a very good chance of dropping points against average sides if they're still involved in the CL towards the end of the season.

Chelsea don't drop at home really..

To win it we'll probably need 30 points from 10 games: i.e. a miracle. But then again Liverpool is a club that does miracles now and again..
