    And that's not good enough to challenge for the title. #nailedon top 4 though.

    They're not challenging for the title, it's yours to lose. If you don't win it then it's a bottle job.of Tottenham like proportions.

    They're our main challengers and playing some good football, certainly not a team to knock. I love your Liverpool or nothing attitude but I've got a bit more respect for this Leicester team, Boxing Day could be interesting. If we can beat Watford and then Leicester we'll take some stopping.

    I respect them enough not to give false platitudes. Their weakness is the top 7. They play us and City in the next couple of weeks so let's see if they improve on that.

    Anything can be a weakness when you twist the stats to suit your point <doh>

    What have I twisted? Even Man Utd have a better record against the top 7 than you.

    Doesn’t help when you get the standard penalty dive against you at Anfield and Old Trafford does it?
    Anyway, we aren’t even in the title race, it’s a one horse race, if your ridiculous club bottle it then you deserve all the **** you’ll get. You won’t bottle it though as the league and refs association are guiding you to the title

    You've had as many penalties as us this season.

    Difference being ours have been actual fouls. See the Vardy one in the week, no way Mane or Rashford for that matter would not have got that. the stats I prefer are, best defence in the league, either best or second best attack (not sure if we overtook Man City today or not and can’t be arsed to check), not lost a game without it being from a pen and not conceded from any set piece

    I don’t think many neutrals would argue that we have been the most entertaining side, helps that Man City have dropped off mind. Just enjoying it whilst it lasts :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Credit to Brenda tbf. Can’t say I was a massive fan when he was at Liverpool, as I thought he was largely riding the wave created by having one of the top players in the World at that time i.e. that **** Suarez.

    Then he went to a 2 team pub league when it was a 1 team pub league and surprisingly won everything.

    But he’s doing a cracking job so far at Lesta, they’re a very good side under him, and he has to be given the credit for that.

    So let me just see if I have this correct
    Didn’t like him when he was at Liverpool
    Not arsed when he went to Celtic
    But don’t mind him now he is at Leicester and providing serious competition to Liverpool’s title bid.
    Just so I have all my facts - how did you view his time at Swansea lmao
    Ironically I never made my mind up on him at LFC didn’t blame him for the Palace result but never made my mind up lol

    Who you hoping for - do you think Big Dunc can nail the job ? looked good against Chelsea
    So much heart and passion - were you there ?

    Just giving the bloke some credit and being honest, they’ve got no chance of the title, you’ve already got it in the bag.

    I wasn’t there, couldn’t be arsed with the travel and effort given their recent performances.

    Big Dunc won’t get the job imo, but it was a great day for the big man & he certainly got a reaction from them, and ditched the wretched 4-2-3-1 we’ve been saddled with for beards under Martinez and Silva, that I ****ing hate, about time 4-4-2 made a comeback lol.

    Thing is fella, that we’ve already accepted you’ve won the title, so when it becomes mathematical the entire country will just shrug. Kopites will be in a frenzy and literally no one else will give a ****, as they’d got over it months prior.

    Would have been far worse if you’ve have won it last season at the death after a nip and tuck chase with City.
