Well it's the XI I hoped to see in the absence of Henderson and Sturridge. Go get em boys.

State of that bench.

[Jockstar]

Anyone got a link to the game?

[HeavyDrinker]

Mathematically we could be crowned champions next Sunday evening.

Can't help getting carried away here....... We're gonna win the league....we're gonna win the league....

Why not? The young scally at one of my locals is Liverpool mad and not only has the rat got a very cute new dollybird, he'll no doubt knock up in a few months as he always does, he'll be cheering all year...

"Dollybirds" must date back to about the last time Liverpool won the title.

So far so good. Norwich not playing that badly, pressing us well. More of the same lads.

Didnt realise Ricky Lambert is a big Liverpool fan.

Just seen the game and Lambert was the analyst alongside Townsend.

He was cheering Liverpool along and the cameras just shown the studio of him watching the game. On eggshells he was

[jellydog]

Dodged a bullet there lads.

[P45Mustang]

There's a lot of sore Chelsea fans on the Chelsea thread today after yesterday's defeat.

I can understand they feel rogered, Brendan Rogered.

Don't get too cocky wooooolllooooo.

We ain't been Rodgered yet.

Poyeted maybe.

[P45Mustang]

Words I never thought I'd write but well done Liverpool.

Football wins over the money scum. After 2 decades of suffering, punctuated by the odd victory, they are now getting their rewards. As the pooh trickles down the legs of "the Useless One"(what a vile joke that man is) and Mr Pellegrini the millions of pounds blow around Stamford Bridge and The Emptyhad like tumble-weed, Brendan Rodger's side stand on the brink of a huge success, they will arrive at Carrow Road with squint eyed grins and stubbled chins prepared for a ride through history....

James Joyce or Brendan Behan, heavy one.

Don't fall off the barstool just yet.

( never mind the bar bill, they'll take it from your wallet when you are unconscious. Watch out for the Khmer ).

[P45Mustang]

Dodged a bullet there lads.

Yep. Looks like it's ricocheted straight into a city eyeball.

Unlucky.

[P45Mustang]

Feeling Lucky?

See you next Sunday.

[BangrakBob]

lucky?? I hazard a guess most of them are losing the will to live, your like a giant pair of <deleted> stained granny knickers

[P45Mustang]

Nah.

Think they'll be burning red hot with a point to prove.

[StevieH]

Thinking of suing Brendan Rodgers. He's determined to give me a heart attack.

When we said six cup finals it didn't mean six <deleted> Istanbuls. Christ.

[P45Mustang]

Christal Palace could be tricky mind.

So Liverpool are confirmed as in the CL next season, how do you think they will do, considering they will be in Pot 4 with 3 higher seeded teams in their group ?

Also, should they feel concerned about possibly contravening UEFA's fair play rules for spending too much, when they come to be assessed in the autumn.

This from The Guardian. Full article http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/apr/14/manchester-city-psg-ffp-uefa-set-learn-fate

"Clubs can lose up to €45m (£37m) over the last two years under Uefa's rules. City made losses of £97.9m in 2012 and £51.6m last year, but can write off sums spent on facilities, youth development and a number of other items.

Other top English clubs have little to fear, with the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United being in the black in both years. Chelsea made a £49.4m loss last year but made a £1.4million profit in 2012 so will comply. Liverpool and other clubs such as Monaco, who are not playing in Europe this season, will not have to pass the FFP rules until next autumn, with any sanctions applicable in 2015.

Liverpool last month announced losses of £49.8m up to the end of May 2013, and a further £40.5m over the previous 10 months. Uefa confirmed it would announce any decisions at the start of next month."

yay, the accountants will be happy today. which is nice.

[BangrakBob]

"Despite losing £83m over three seasons, Liverpool can expect to have no sanctions imposed at the end of the 2014/15 UEFA campaign. However, I should point out that to pass FFP, Liverpool’s owner will still need to inject hard cash to cover losses made over the three seasons. For Liverpool, this means the owner needs to put his hand in his pocket and inject around £44m by 31 December 2014. This can’t be done via a loan and if he doesn’t do this, Liverpool could well face a UEFA ban in 2015/16. However there is no reason to believe that he won’t convert the required £44m of debt into equity"

Very difficult to gauge CL competitiveness yet dellboy, no matter who is in our group.

I've a bottle of Cristal on ice. I'll crack it open if the mighty 'pool win their last three games.

I thought Liverpool were doing it despite the money.

Don't know about UEFA, but the Khmer Rouge will be after 'em.

Three points in the bag. Not the prettiest win, but who cares.

Chelsea at home next weekend is going to a lively affair for sure. Even then, I'm not certain Chelsea have it in them, what with mid-week CL and a disastrous home defeat to Sunderland and with Liverpool having an index finger on the title, I remain confident.

Come on the 'pool.

[mjj]

City for the title.

It would be very difficult to argue with this.

Title's going to Anfield I reckon.

Can't see city catching. They have some tricky games ahead. Everton away for example.

[Devil]

Sterling yet again Man of the Match for me - never ever, imagined he would be this damn good.

Allen deserves a mention he's done great when asked to step in.

Stunning start to the game but painful and very nervy viewing 2nd half - can't take much more of this...

Lucas did ok but really looked sluggish and leggy after the first 35 mins onwards... Maybe we have just got used to Henderson running non stop for 90+ mins covering every blade of grass.

Come on Red Men

[SantiSuk]

Very unlikely but if Man City were to lose to the Baggies tonight you guys would be playing Chelsea for the title at the weekend. [if my maths is correct]

Would be a fitting end to the season to do it at home and against a primary opponent!

Edited April 21, 2014 by SantiSuk

[fimgirl]

Not quite. City would be on 71 points with 4 games to play = possible 83 points.

Assuming we beat Chelsea we would also be on 83 points but goal difference possible swung our way.

And then 2 games to get 1 point!

I'm praying.
