    How many points ahead of United were Chelsea and Arsenal when Solskjaer took over? Some serious capitulation over the last few months.

    You're always desperate to find excuses for him. He just drifts out of seasons every year, regardless of external factors. He hasn't got the drive to be the best in the world. I doubt he'll even leave us, no ambition.

    No one wants to live up north, so it's us or Arsenal, and he made the right choice there.

    I think he’ll go to Madrid. He can just saunter about past players with ease without needing to put any effort in. He’ll still go down as a Chelsea legend with the two league titles and however many cup final wins.

    And the tv version is watered down.

    Braga up to second in Portugal as well. Would be pretty cool if they got into the Champions League with that stadium.

    Wouldn't a point still have them top? Would be hard to say they were done if they were still, you know, top of the league.

    Yeah, but you don't need them to fail to win a game for that.

    I've never seen more hyperbole about a title race. Going off here (and people in general) Liverpool have won it and then lost it a dozen times since mid-December. In reality it will probably be decided mid- to late-April.

    As much as Sarri is a rubbish coach, I don't really blame him for everything. We are run completely incompetently by the Russian mafia so it's a miracle we're at all competitive really.

    Liverpool have to play Everton and United away, with Spurs and Chelsea at home. I'd say it's going to be tough unless some injuries hit City.

    Aye, Chelsea at home, shit your pants, obvious connotations notwithstanding (it's the same day isn't it)?

    The Spuds could still go and win at both Anfield and the murderbowl and win the whole thing. Arf. Although I remember thinking the same years ago when they had a tough run in and they won at City and somewhere else to steal into the top 4.

    You look at it now and there are 12 games to go. In simple terms, Liverpool need to be looking at winning 10 of those 12(I don't believe anyone drops 0 points from here). Spurs in all honesty need to win every game. I could see one of these 2 blowing a 5 point lead, but not both.

    The only thing that may get City is themselves. They're on for a quadruple and I feel they have a very good chance of getting it. A deep run into the Champions League and FA Cup could hurt them fitness wise. I feel it's theirs to lose though. They've hit top form at the right time and look invincible.

    I don't think we've even changed it once within a game, let alone from the start of games. Sarri thinks he has cracked football with his slow style of play and if we lose it is the players' fault.

    The one thing Liverpool should definitely do is chuck the Dortmund tie. Their main players shouldn't even travel to the games.

    I think they should try to treat both competitions the same. Banking everything on the league is more likely to result in too many nerves and an eventual breakdown, I reckon.

    Yesterday was one of the crappest days at the Amex. We're on a horrible run - one win in 11 league games. Could do with Cardiff going back to being absolute pants.

    He'll do his hamstring in less than 6 months.

    Another thing that Wenger was roundly mocked for but got spot on was the increasing use of Bosmans by players.

    It's just him getting the transfer fee and not Arsenal.

    That's how I've always figured it anyway. I'm sure Jimmy has said this before, but it is the way things are going to go with any semi-sensible players. Run your contract down and cash-in (unless you can cash in at your existing club via the threat).

    Juve pay Can a (relatively) insane amount as well.

    That's a lot of Jeeps. Hope he does well but I've never really seen him as top tier. Has his moments (usually in cup finals) but he's like a more useful Wilshere.

    I just can't imagine Juve being so desperate for Aaron Ramsey to pay him 400k with or without the transfer fee.

    I realize this is their niche but damn.

    No Cavani or Neymar, if they can just find a way to not get annihilated by Mbappe on the counter . . .

    PSG going out would be glorious.

    His most influential role would probably be a reprise of the Nani incident.

    An overenthusiastic Rashford as the perpetrator.

    Italian clubs in particular love the certainty of a known performer, even if they aren't spectacular, mercurial talents. If you're Juve (or previously Milan) you're like the Yankees, you don't need to get involved in this 'value' stuff, you pay the big bucks for the reliable known quantities that are available.

    If you're Arsenal, you're 6th and you have asset-stripping Americans in charge then it's not worth trying to compete with what a set giant can pay him.

    Also, Everton 6 points off relegation if the teams win their game in hand. They’ll pick up 3 or 4 points max in their next 6 too.
