@ Adebayor the big top hatIf you offered me this positional 'pain' back in the summer I would have torn your arm off and given you my grandmother (for Rooney like).
It just occurred to me that Fabio has suffered 2 relegations in a row.
City can definitely smash their opponents as well.
If it comes down to GD, Liverpool will need to outscore them by 12 goals at least as City need to add +2 minimum to get the 6points which would give them +11Liverpool aren't gonna score 10 more goals than Man City in their last 2 games
Adebayor and Paulinho were complete disgraces for that 2nd goal today.
Yeah but two weeks ago must be fresher in the memory
This is getting borderline delusional now.
Firstly, you're banking on City not battering either of Villa or West Ham, which is entirely feasible given that neither have anything to play for.
Secondly, when Liverpool have scored 4+, they've generally conceded too. Out of the 11 games in which they've scored 4+, they've only kept 3 clean sheets. In fact, in these games, they've conceded 3 just as often as they've kept the opposition out.
If it's to come to goal difference, realistically, Liverpool are going to need to overturn a difference of 12-15 goals in their remaining two games. Their best hope is City bottling it and dropping points, which I'd say is more realistic than Liverpool beating Newcastle by 8.
When you've been through 20 years off worse moments, the last two weeks feel like a Godsend.
Don't spoil it. Let him believe. It'll be all the more hilarious when Palace beat them on Monday anyway.
Well Adebayor obviously used the AVB sacking to get his arsehole in gear and get himself an extension since his City top-up runs out in June. Clearly Levy wasn't going to do that since he'll have sussed that once Ade's got a fat wedge he doesn't break sweat. Spurs fans seem to think that Paulinho clocked off in Feb ahead of the world cup.
Had I told you we would challenge for the league you'd have called me delusional too. Let's see what happens.
Liverpool were punching above their weight all season. Unless there is significant squad investment they wont mount a challenge like this whilst competing in CL next season
Real Madrid will take Suarez and that will be that.
I'm glad for that mini spurt of Adebayor form this calender year, will hopefully make it a bit easier for us to convince some Eastern European team to part with some money for Adebayor (the major problem is finding a team willing to take on his full wages).
I agree about the Paulinho clocking off comment which I can't say has particularly endeared him to me, regardless of how good a player he may be for the Brazilian NT/ us next season when he doesn't have a home WC to think about.
The looks Rose and Sigurdsson were giving those 2.....

Bold prediction or more hope?
So far everyone on this forum were saying we deserved to be in our position, it wasn't a fluke. Can't move goalposts.
Corrected this for you.
Thanks for saving us the trouble to go to RAWK to read deluded posts. If Liverpool win the title it will be on points, that is City will need to drop points. Can you do even basic math? Even let's say you win 5-0 both games(very difficult to do at Palace) City need to win both games just 1-0. Are you telling me that the team which has scored 150 goals in this season won't score at least 2 against two teams who are in bottom half and have nothing to play for? Add to that their bad defenses. You should better hope that Villa and West Ham get points at Etihad than boring us with this deluded crap. 4+ goals and 2nd gear my arse.
Just circumstances really. Uniteds horrible season, no midweek games, hardly any injuries at all. All on top of some magnificent performances true but c'mon that squad without investment cant handle a european campaign and compete for the title again.
Had I told you we would challenge for the league you'd have called me delusional too. Let's see what happens.
There's a difference between predicting results across a whole season, based on nothing more than speculation, and predicting that Liverpool won't win their last two games by a margin of 12-15 goals, based on what they've done throughout the season.
You'd have called people deluded had we said we would win the league wouldn't you? Yeah, I can do math thanks. I didn't say we'd win 5-0, you did so I don't know why you'd question my abilities to add. Most teams that score 4 or 5 goals go into second gear after going 3 or 4 up.
Linking it with start of season is completely irrelevant argument. Oh, you didn't say you will win 5-0?...Hmmmm, ya, my mistake...What is will be like then in top gear? 20-0?
It is extreme wishful thinking, teetering on delusion though. I don't need to explain why, as Alex has summed it up well enough, but Liverpool overturning fifteen goals in their favour - which is a very feasible scenario - is never going to happen.Had I told you we would challenge for the league you'd have called me delusional too. Let's see what happens.
And while Liverpool could easily give Palace a hiding, you are severely under-estimating them if you think it's a given. Coming off the back of a routine defeat to City is even worse for City given Pulis' mentality and history as a manager. It''ll probably be a difficult game and I'll categorically state now, you won't beat them by more than two goals on Monday.
Liverpool need City to drop points.
They don't need to overturn 10 goals. If City win their two games, it's more like 15. It's not happening.

is this true?
That would be brilliant. Probably nothing in it though like the Sherwood stories.Richard Keys, Qatar. Not sure why that made me laugh.
ouch.. peters at his best. Ben Arfa watched todays game from a box near me this afternoon. He was on the pitch for the lap of (di s)honour after the match. Pardew wasn't.
Aye, he must be happy that Arsenal have won another fourth place trophy.
I think Liverpool have been fantastic this season, and if you were any other team apart from Liverpool, I'd be rooting all the way for you to win the league.
But as for next season, you'll need significant investment in the squad to compete at this level in the league again and compete in the CL.
The Times and the Echo (the two most reliable papers for Liverpool and Everton news) are saying 5 or 6 players will be signed along with some loaned out players returning.
Did many sod off on 69 minutes? Were you tempted to join them?
CL qualification same as you + a tilt at the FA cup ( as I said to you a few weeks back let's compare willies when it's over)
To be fair, I'd rather win the FA Cup and finish 4th than finish 2nd and win nothing.
But I'd rather be in Liverpool's position right now than Arsenal's.
They reckon 4,000 left and yes, I was one of them.
