We got 54 points after 20 games. If we draw the 18 games to play we end up with 72 points. Likely to be enough for top 4. Been following the team since 1974 or 5 and not seen this before. So i am celebrating the joy of looking at the standings. Fair enough, but if we finish 4th at this point it will be a chronic failure that might cost klopp his job.

I agree with Flames. I will be jumping up and down first day back at work on Weds. But only because we have a lot of Arsenal fans there. And it's nice to be top.
To me winning at City is far more important than whatever they do or don't do at Southampton.
The extra day recovery at the end of a hectic schedule will benefit us more than home advantage will benefit them. I like a bet and we are an unbelievable price for Thursday at the moment. We are bigger than 2/1 against a team who we have a bit of a sign over recently.
Of course take nothing for granted. Aguero has a poor record against us at Anfield but he has a good record against us at home.
It only takes a couple of dodgy decisions, injuries, suspensions or poor performances and we will be under pressure.
We must carry on doing what we have done so far this season because in the grand scheme of things it is still very early.

I'm excited. But I'm terrified.
We've been here twice before recently. And I've enjoyed every bit of this season but now I'm getting scared because one loss could just change everything wondering, were we ever sitting 9/10 points clear by new year and fuckeddd it up??? That lead can be 4points if city win their next 2games. Southampton and Liverpool. We would have happily taken that scenario at the start of December when we were neck and neck with City with a busy Xmas programme to come.

Agreed but now it is about not taking one backward step.

First of all, happy days!!! We're rockin.
For a club that has had its share of false dawns, the hype (which is more the media's doing) is premature. The atmosphere is normally what you see at clubs with about 5 games left to lifting the title. There's a whole other half to go. Klopp has yet to show he can get across the line...
Long away to go. Should we still keep Klopp then?

Maybe we should get rid of him now, what do you say?

We still have Chelsea, man Utd,Everton and Spurs to play! We are half way through and playing outstanding football. That's it.

Ok, maybe not a hand but a few fingers, after the City away game, our toughest game would be away at United, we will play both Chelsea and Spurs at home, Everton away will not be easy but we are a class above. A win at City would mean 10 points more than them, so yes quite a few fingers on the trophy.

So who is celebrating anything but today’s win? Wilki if you find anyone thinking we are going to win the title to report it to me immediately No.
