think its been a good weekend with spurs dropping points at newcastle, we have what looks like an easy run of games now and i think we can pull away from spurs. very impressed with the boys yesterday and i think we look good for taking 4th spot now. think kennys made some very shrewd signings and they will get better game by game. all in all things are looking good.

phew! a positive post.

how about title here we come..!?

I'm not predicting any title wins for LFC, in fact I'd say the odds are more with City unless they slip up big time, BUT- remember that after 8 games we are now on 14 points, which seems very average this year.
But after 8 games last season we were on 6!

And guess who were on 14 points after 8 games last season? Our good friends Man Utd, that's who- and they went on to win it.

So they are all within reach, and all catchable- even City.
I'm not yet betting on us winning the title or even getting second, but we have as many points now as the eventual winners did at this point last season.
So you never know...

oh dont worry the usual suspects will try to make it negative:)

I really hope your right especially wrt the title (what say you lenny.....) but ill take top four (disappointedly) and continue the fight. Seriously though if I could have one thing between now and. May it'd be for a consistency of quality performance and let's see how far it takes us

haha! surely not! will they!?

I think the big three of United, City and Chelsea are nailed on for the top three which leaves Spurs, ourselves and Arsenal fighting for the other place. I would say Spurs look the most likely because they look like they will win more games than the rest of us due to there style of play, they look like they can score every time the attack, we seem a bit more solid in our style of play which means we are capable of securing more draws. Arsenal for me are the dark horses, I think up to now they have been really poor, everything which could of gone wrong has done for them yet they are still only a win and a draw off us, if come January they are still not far off I fully expect them to be better than now and also expect Wenger to invest heavily for a final push for a Champions league place, they wont want Spurs who I think are favourites for fourth getting that final place at there expense.

Also to add this year the league isn't as competitive as it was last year, last year it was so tight because everyone was beating everyone, this year after all the transfers and clubs getting weaker it's gone back to the 09/10 season in terms of points and competitiveness. Expect you'll need more points for each position compared with last year.

Also unless Spurs get major injuries to likes of Adebayor, van der vaart bale or modric there bang on for 4th and us 5th. was expecting them to play more 1st team players in Europa Legaue but not a single player has played in any games. To add they have a better squad and better starting 11 and have played all the top teams already so we need luck to get 4th this season or more players in January if available

i think a lot of people are over rating this spurs side. they did nt look all that great today drawing with newcastle and should have been beaten. spurs still have that softeness about them where they throw away points against weaker sides, granted weve had that weakness too but i fully expect us to get stronger as the season goes on and the new lads settle in. lets not write ourselves off, where ahead of spurs having gone away to arsenal, away to everton away to stoke, away to spurs, and man u at home, spurs still have to play most of those tricky fixtures so i dont think were doing too bad
