Eh, three games in hand.

Don't even need sixth tbh, we're already assured of European football next season.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!

That was a cracking game. I thoroughly enjoyed Llalana's Ronnie Rosenthal impression.
I say it twice a year but Liverpool v Man City is the best fixture in the league. Also that was more of a 2012 vintage Torres than a Rocket Ronnie!
Defending is a theoretical concept for both sides.
YE RAGIN', AYE?
I'm sad we lost the Davie Moyes chat but now we can pick on my other favourite football thread victim: Jesse Lingard. 100k a week? What? As it's Premier League football and the amounts are stupid anyway, what I mean is that this is insane relative to other footballers. Christian Eriksen, for example, is on 75k.
Jesse Lingard is not good. Well, he's OK. Not 100K a week OK though.
Also, glad to see my team pushing on to grab this 6th place spot. It's well within our grasp now.
You wish. It's Liverpool's. The collapse is here! I like Jurgen Klopp but he has that Wengeresque quality of stubbornness that Pep Guardiola also has. He wants to do things his way and doesn't like to deviate from it, and so things like game changing tactical shifts and substitutions just don't happen. I also think he's tried to stick to his principles when it comes to the transfer market and that's left us with a paper thin squad. Outside of the sublime Firmino - Coutinho - Mane axis, of which one of them always seems to be injured or unavailable, our back ups are either playing a striker out on the wing or else a pair of 17 year old Welsh lads.
17 year old Welsh lads who both randomly got called up for the full Welsh national team and you don't see Old Manus having a moan about them like he did Raheem Sterling, by the way.
Our run-in is horrible. We've got Spurs and Arsenal away in our last three matches. Not to mention our rescheduled derby at the Etihad. I think Liverpool have played a lot of their tough matches. Not that it matters when it comes to Liverpool, I suppose!
Yeah, seriously. I'd rather face United and Spurs than Crystal Palace and Hull.
So much sport this weekend. It is also my first cricket pre-season friendly (who on earth decided that cricket in early April should be a thing). I'm trying to push all memories of what happened at a football stadium in Morfa the other night out of my mind by spending as much time as possible this weekend on the sofa watching the golf and the gee-gees.

My Dyer > Sterling comment was probably my greatest contribution to the football thread canon and we are all better for it17 year old Welsh lads who both randomly got called up for the full Welsh national team and you don't see Old Manus having a moan about them like he did Raheem Sterling, by the way.

there was a picture here
I don't even know how long ago the Dyer > Sterling debate was and yet here we are. Premier League champion Nathan Dyer and £50m Raheem Sterling. What a time to be alive.
Speaking of Gee-Gees, I've got Pleasant Company (16/1) in my work sweeps and I'm not too displeased about that.
I'm not sure which one I drew in our sweepstakes.
Probably One Way Ticket to the Glue Factory at 3000-1.
