I hate them, but Liverpool’s record is quite ridiculous really. Reminiscent of the big two in La Liga.

More like friggin Celtic since Rangers went up the shitter (until recently).

Just want them to have a bad run so it's interesting at least

Yeah I resigned myself to then winning the league, but it’s become boring and it’s not even Xmas.

Leicester's next two fixtures are away to City and home to Liverpool. If they drop points in both they might start to crumble a bit.

Chelsea are wide open at the back i can see Son moura getting in loads

Agreed. They're very easy to get at. Yes they carry a real attacking threat but I could see us out scoring them. Something mad like 4-2!

From December 4th
Back to a 9 point gap. Chelsea are the only team that are catchable and I’m not certain about that.
How you feeling now? :)
Not taking the piss we were all in the same boat but I can't help wondering what odds we could have got then on us being in the top four by Christmas.

My memory is failing me a bit, but we seem to have got most of the difficult games out of the way already.

If memory serves we have already played away to: City, Liverpool, Leicester, United, wolves, Everton, arsenal.

So come the new year the only top teams we have to play away from home is Chelsea and Sheffield United?

If we can make our ground as solid as it use to be in whl days we could make it higher than 4th.

Yeah add West Ham to that list as well as they normally like to turn up against us.

Only 'difficult' away matches int he 2nd half are Chelsea and Sheffield United.

Depends if you're a glass half empty or half full kind of person. The tough away games are out of the way but similarly are the easier home games. I think the only bottom 11 teams we still have to play at home are Everton, Norwich and Brighton

Newcastle away is usually a difficult game also.

Chelsea have a horrendous fixture list in February now with Bayern. United have Carabo 2 leg semi and Europa last 32. Beat Chelsea and we are massively in box seat, tbh even a draw should be ok.

Call me mad, but I still think Leicester are catchable and no where near as good as people are making out. If anything, they got incredibly lucky to beat us and that was under a team doing poor under Pochettino. Leicester don’t have anything apart from their first 11 and they will fall away.
