    We've done all right against THE TOP FOUR/Six this year tbh.

    It's the dross we've struggled with.

    Not that it will matter if we win because Man City are handing it to Liverpool.

    I keep reading about how well you've done against the top 4/6 but is it really that much of an indication given Arsenal and Tottenham are every bit as fragile as yourselves, City showed you up in the Carabao Cup and Chelsea have also come unstuck against the likes of Newcastle, Southampton and Bournemouth?

    By all rights we should absolutely swat you aside but there's no way this run can continue given we've got away with a few results ourselves and it just seems ripe that it'll be your lot that fuck it for us. It'll mean nothing for either team in the grand scheme of things but still, no one wants to lose to Man United.

    Man City are fast replacing you as my hated team however. Hashtag tweets of #taintedtitle and moans about VAR ruining the game are a bit too rich when you've basically bought your way to titles and not a word of their FFP rubbish. I also dispute the argument that it's all because Laporte is injured that they've gone to shit. You can't have such arguments when you've spent such an obscene amount of money on defenders over the years. Stones, Otemendi and Mendy in particular are absolute accidents waiting to happen. I also hate listening to Guardiola after a match in which everything hasn't gone his way as though there's some sort of agenda to stop City winning.

    You mention City twatting us in the Carabao but fail to mention us beating them away and us also being the only team to have taken points from you.

    Buying the title. I suppose Salah, Firmino, Mané, Alisson and van Dijk were all found in a skip in Sefton.

    Both those results seem to surprise even your own supporters than any real expectation that you'd take something from them tbf. You beat them fair and square at the Etihad and it should have been more. Our game against you, probably less so although a draw was probably a fair result given we were both shit on the day.

    It depends which way you look at it. Obviously Alisson and van Dijk were pricey albeit offset by Coutinho's fee but the front three were peanuts in today's market. All three combined cost less than £100M probably.

    So our good results against the top 6 are either because they're also shit or they were so surprising that they don't really count.

    Cool, thanks.

    Tens of millions or a few more tens of millions, it's all the same. When a team wins the league with a significant number of homegrown players I'll be impressed. Until then, everyone attempts to buy the title, and the best-coached, best-performing team succeeds.

    Nope. More that they should be taken with a pinch of salt as there's nothing top about them other than media driven. You've hardly beaten peak Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs ("lads, it's Tottenham"). Your best two results were probably against Man City and Leicester tbf.

    As it is, I've just clocked that Luke Shaw is starting so may as well hand the three points over now.

    So to quote Mahow, you mention Salah, Mane, Firmino, VVD and Alisson but fail to mention TAA, Robertson and Gomez. No team will win the Premier League with a significant number of homegrown players in England for the simple fact that English players simply aren't all that good compared to their foreign counterparts.

    That said, if West Ham had their time again with the likes of Rio, Carrick, Joe Cole and Defoe etc all remaining then I reckon they'd have got as close to any.

    No hiding place today. If we don't beat that starting eleven then I'm hiding until May, I'd fancy a TTH XI to hold their own there.

    You can have Trent, in the same way that we could have JT back in the day. They're bought in professional teams. If Liverpool had City's money they would spend it.

    I'll get back to you in about five years times then when Brewster, Jones, Williams, Elliott and co win the league.

    Yet still have a chance for fourth on the basis that no one seems to want it. Personally, I'd love for Wolves to leapfrog yourselves and Chelsea for it. I like their manager, he seems such a nice guy.

    Good to see Fabs and the Giraffe back on the bench.

    I actually reckon this will be a good game rather than attack v defence snoozefest.

    That corner looked close to swinging out of play before coming back in.

    That's a foul in todays age. The bigger concern is the entire team stopping and letting Firmino score.

    I think that was a foul, but the United players should all have been booked for dissent.

    Souness and Keane seem to think because he "went for the ball" it's impossible that it's a foul.

    Fairly amazed the onfield ref didn't give the foul on De Gea (as it was a foul in the modern age) but also quite surprised VAR then went and overruled him.

    If all the 'good' teams United have beaten are actually shit, then Liverpool going undefeated is worth less because they won't have beaten anybody decent. Good to know.

    Rashford was carrying a single stress fracture in his back, now has a double stress fracture after Wolves game. Expected to be out for 2-3 months. Also has piece of floating bone in his ankle requiring non-intrusive surgery to remove.
    I am not a doctor but making someone with a broken back play football doesn't seem the best idea.

    Sky inviting Souness and Keane on knowing that they are pretty shouty and the then the cunt of a presenter takes the piss, "Are you ok, calm down". I hope Souness rips him a new one.
