Can't believe our luck. Chelsea losing, City drawing with Arsenal. Just the results we needed. Now all w have to do for now is beat the spuds and go top.

Spurs very difficult, but we could win every single game from now till the end of the season 10-0 and still not win it. Still city's to lose Not any more. If we win all our remaining games 1-0, we are Champions.

The bloody thing is ours to lose now. Hands up who expected this at the start of the season.
Starting to dream now.
Come on Brendan, bring this ship home.

Rodgers has done astoundingly well with a team that has 3-1 at Hull within its range.
I think people need to be prepared for a tough grind for fourth never mind the title. This team is very inexperienced and the pressure will be immense from here on in. I don't want to denigrate our midfield players but where would Allen, Henderson and Lucas feature in Man City or Chelsea? Our defence is a stop start horror show and we nearly always concede. Cardiff scored 3 against us - as did Stoke. 'Scoring more' is not a defence that will work against City. I think we are going to start running out of oxygen any day soon. When we do, I hope people don't just turn on Rodgers. If we're in the same position next year with two or three extra £25M players, we could be looking at a real shout. As things stand, however, I'm bracing myself for the worst. To put it in perspective, as I see it, if we win the title this year, I'd say it would be the finest achievement by any manager in the PL history. The CL win under Rafa only involved a few very fortunate coincidences. 38 games is a real test and the cream usually rises to the top. If Rodgers can achieve this he's some cook.
At 2-0 against Spurs we looked second best until they went down to 10 men. I fear tomorrow might be more of a test than some seem to think. ....All we have to do to win the title is beat Spurs, Man City and Chelsea (and four other teams that are going to roll right over)... - that's all we have to do.
If we win tomorrow, I'll be delighted that we'll be well in the hunt for top 4 - but that's about all.
I don't know how the fans can take the pressure off the players but if there's a way that, collectively, it could be done, it might make all the difference.

One game at a time folks, CL qualification is the priority, so our boys need to put 100% focus on tomorrows game and forget about anything else. 100% effort and 100% focus and we should be able to win at home tomorrow. Lets just take it game by game.

I think that our players have handled the pressure admirably this season. You only have to look at them entering the field of play to see that they are brimming with confidence. Especially Sturridge. He gives me the impression that he KNOWS that we're winning the game.
