We are in the middle of an amazing season, folks, and the scary thing is I don't even think we are playing to our potential.

We are unbeaten in the league, and we have seen more champions league finals in the last year and a half than we have seen premier league defeats. Anfield is a fortress. We've only dropped points once all season, and that was United away. We're 10 points clear of Leicester, 14 points clear of Pep's all Conquering City, and 25 points ahead of Manchester United.

We have been waiting for the league for years, and that holy grail chase has been painful. We've had near misses under Evans, Houlier, Rafa, and Rodgers, but this team is better than all of them. I think we are on the cusp of history, and I can't stop thinking about it. If Klopp plays his cards right, this could go down as the most successful season for any team in premier league history, or football history for that matter.

The hallmark English teams of yesteryear: Fergie's treble in 99, the invincibles, Pep's Centurions, Clough's Forrest winning and retaining the European cup: These reds might best them all. We could very realistically retain our CL title. I fear no one in the CL now. We could go the season unbeaten in the league this year, and we would do it with more points, more goals, and more trophies on top of it. I'm pretty confident that we will beat City's point tally from 2018. And we have a chance to do the same Treble United did, but with more trophies on top. After 30 years of heartbreak, how fitting would it be to win it in a way that might never be matched again?

Sachi's Milan, Pep's Barca, Mourinho's Chelsea, the MSN Barca years, Ancelotti's Milan, the great Bayern or Ajax teams, Cruyff's Barca: I think this team has a chance to put down a record season better than all of them.

I think we might actually win every trophy we're competing for. The only one I'm worried about is the league cup, because of the youth side we'll be forced to field next week, but I have half a mind that the kids will beat Villa anyway. We tried to throw the Arsenal game, and we couldn't because this team doesn't know how to lose.

Whether we win them all or go unbeaten or any of that stuff or not, I almost don't even care. This team has made me care again. And everyone who plays us is petrified. I'm just enjoying the ride.

I hope only want the premier this year, anything else is a Brucie bonus.

Small time. The league is ours. I want greatness. I want history. I want number 7 and I want an unbeaten season, with 100 points plus, and I want the CWC. FA cup would be special, and League Cup would be gravy, but I want a season we can throw in the face of every other club's fans' faces for eternity.

If it only ends up being the league and the super cup, it's boss, but I want more.

Super Cup, with the league and world club cup are pretty much a given.

The league cup, I'm not really fussed about.

The FA cup, I couldn't name last year winners let alone the winners of the last 5 years, it's pretty much a secondary competition in modern football.

The CL, we have the beating of all the teams left in. I expect everyone left in the CL are hoping to avoid us, but it's a cup competition, anything can happen.

I want to retain the CL. To do that, the CWC, the super cup, and the league all in the same year would pretty much cement us as the best team in the world hands down. We would be the only English team since Forest to do it, and it would be special. Europe has always been a huge part of our identity, and to match Milan's tally would be amazing. Only Real Madrid would have more CL titles than us.

I also want to remove all argument about the greatest premier league team ever. United have their treble, Arsenal have their season unbeaten, City have their Centurions. All of them have an argument about which achievement is more impressive. I want to match each of their achievements and best them. I want it to be objective. I won't throw a fit if we don't, but I want to give it a good go.

I just want to win our next game, and the next game, and the next game, and see where it takes us. I'll do my crowing when I've got something to crow about.

Let's just try for them one game at a time. The first league game we lose is going to be so painful. For some it is going to be a dream wrecker. We lost the chance of setting one record when we drew against Man United.

No team has ever won all 4 trophies and City won 3 last season and ran out of steam when it mattered. What will happen to us when that happens?

I stupidly put £1 at 1000/1 that we would win the lot. Since then I have parted with another £3 at 600/1 for us to win all 3 cups not including World Club Cup.

It is still possible but it is improbable hence the big odds. But we all have a dream. I don't care how we get there. I want to win the lot but we are there at the moment to be shot down at the slightest hint that we might fail at anything.

Win the league all else is secondary and if we have won it with maybe 3 games to go we might lose the rest for all i care. Second is CL.
