Just to summarise, I am buzzing and I think this feeling will last through to the final day of the season. Not sure how I'll cope with that!

Good lad.........good reasoned post.

If it did go to the final game imagine what it would feel like to win it.
If we didn't though...we'll still have a party that will rival anything the Mancs can come up with even as Champions.

My arse is deffo gone, but we've been waiting a long time for this so we need to enjoy it.

I just hope we can keep winning and keep the pressure on the bastards, at least don't let them have it without knowing they're in a fight. I think they do now and we need to keep at them.

I'm loving it at the moment, i'll have a whinge about what might of been once its all done and dusted, especially about those fucking daft draws.

Good times.

Excellent post, shanklyboy.

I'm seated and strapped in every season.  Like you I've never took any game for granted, even when we were battering teams week in week out, and parading trophy after trophy, season after season. But I always had that belief that we would do it and that feeling has never waned.

At this moment in time we are so close to winning number 19 that I can smell it, and if we do it I reckon it will eclipse any feeling I've ever had with any League championship that I've had the pleasure to have seen us lift.

Top class. :)

Remember this from Pako in 2007?

It goes for us too, not just the players.

That was one of best interviews ever.

Great isn't it Terry?

It feels like the old days.........I might even start drinking Brown mixed again.

Brilliant post
Im still strapped in, and i dont want to leave this rollercoaster of a season  :) I wasnt born when we last won the league, so i am very inexperienced, and ill admit i have had times this season when ive thought thats it (Middlesborough game to name an occasion.)  However i regret thinking like that, and know that i have to continue to believe, and channel that belief into Anfield and then into the team. 
Great post by the way

I was thinking more like the big fuck off party cans we had years ago. If only they still sold them.

I'm 24 now and been a red since I was a nipper. Can't remember exactly when, but I just remember a childhood of having 'pool players pictures out of the weekly footie magazine all over my bedroom walls...Grobbelaar, Rush, Barnes, Macca, Redknapp. These were the players I grew to love Liverpool FC from, after the glory years so-to-speak.

So, I've never experienced winning a title, I was just too young.

Subconciously, I'd got used to my interest level in the Prem dropping after xmas, with the exception of the "Big 4" games. I'd watch the games, but wouldn't be on the edge of my seat. It's only now, in April, with the momentum that we're carrying at the moment that I'm realising just how brilliant it is to be a part of a title race. Villa, Fulham - every one of them as exciting as the one before, and even the opposition teams games i.e Man U v Fulham.

This is gonna be like a drug, so much so that I'll be craving a title race in seasons to come. Somehow, I think I'll be getting my fix. :D

Great post Shanks, thank you. :)

Loved this description from Riera:

Asked if fighting for two major honours made this the most exciting period of his career, Riera responded: "Yes, definitely. Playing to fight for titles is really nice, this is the pressure that we want because it's a beautiful pressure."

Not sure I can imagine what it would be like! Istanbul multiplied by a lot is my guess.

Will probably need my alcohol consumption for Istanbul multiplied by a lot to get through it as well!

Looking forward to the remaining games, I'm sure it will be tight either way at the end.
