This is pure gold from RAWK: "It's very obvious that Steven gerrard doesn't want to win the league. That'd karma for you gerrard for wanting to leave Liverpool and join Chelsea"

All the talk about us ruining football and defensive style. It was our B team, our f***ing B team And they couldn't break us down with a kid who's playing his first ever PL match at CB! The scouse loving media is hilarious

"It's fun winning at Liverpool" Flawless debut apart from a couple of missed headers in the first half. Tbf, it wasn't really a game in which you can judge a CB in, but that said he certainly had an excellent game. That early tackle on Sterling really set the tone for his performance. I hope he's changed his mind about wanting to leave..

Went with Ba for MOTM. Not because of the goal, but because he was immense in holding up the ball and winning first headers. I can't remember a single header Sakho won over him. Completely dominated him. PS: 28 pages of pure comedy gold: http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=313633.40 You're welcome He actually had a terrible game. Every decision went Liverpool's way. And then you have that pen in the first half which of course no one in the media would mention.

I think what Jason is saying is that you might not have an hour to write the current preview format but you'll more likely have 20 minutes to write the preview with the new format. Hence if we make it more condensed people are more likely to have the time to do it.

Try Red And White Kop. The meltdown there should be hilarious right now!

Also Jim suggested that being more creative with the title would get much more hits from outside the forum because people like catchy headlines.

Rumors that it s actually Baker and not Swift who has traveled with the team.

I have no doubt they'll challenge for top four. But that is completely different than challenging for the title. About 10-15 points difference.

Apparently Liverpool fans have organized an "all night street party" outside the hotel the team is staying in tonight: http://www.footballwhispers.com/1/post/2014/04/liverpool-fans-organise-an-all-night-street-party-outside-the-chelsea-team-hotel-on-the-eve-of-potential-title-decider.html Can they have any more of a small team mentality?!

Do better than all of City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal? I think that would take a huge mess up from all those teams who are all currently miles ahead.

We didn't have a system under RDM. Rafa had a somewhat working system both on defense and offense, but it was only a quick-fix and it relied too much on individual brilliance in attack. That is why Jose said from the start that we would not be challenging for the title this season and that the target is next season. But what we did have before this season that united currently don't, is a core of players who have played together for an entire season and developed some chemistry between them and the fact that all our players more or less fit the same style of football. Whoever takes the job at united next season will have a much much tougher job than Jose has had at the start of the season. I think it will be Van Gal who is an excellent manager, but he's no miracle worker. So like I said, I see them challenging for top 4 next season, and even that would be a very tough job for them to achieve with all 7 teams wanting to finish there.

When? I'm not disagreeing that they can do this, just that they can do it in a few months. They'll need at least a full season. That's if the manager gets it right, especially in the signed players.

Players aren't enough. They don't have a working system, in fact, they don't have any system at the moment. They are in the biggest transition since probably forever. Manager wise, players wise, even "footballing phylosophy" wise (can't see them continuing with 4-4-2 and two traditional wingers much longer). That's not something that can be patched up over summer. IMO, they'll be in the race for top 4 next season, but win the PL? Not a chance.

It's 56 mins. I'm pretty sure that's the entire interview, mate!

Try now.

1) We're talking about something that has happened over a quarter of a century ago. I understand what Ahly did. What the club and the players must have gone through must have been incredibly tough and I can see how that motivated them to win it for their fans. They have my utmost respect. Similarly, I was delighted when Zambia won the AFCON after they had lost their entire team in the air crash disaster and the new generation wanted to win it for them. But this is a completely different case. Half their players weren't even born when the disaster happened! This would be like united going endlessly on about how they should win because of the Munich disaster every time they are competing for a title, or journalists writing tens of articles of how we deserve to win the title this season for Mathew Harding. 2) It would be more acceptable if the players were talking about how Hillsborough motivates them, but they're not the ones doing the talking. It's their fans and the media who are going on and on and on and on and on about it. And it's not just about winning the league. They've developed and art of somehow relating Hillsborough to every single thing in the world. I was just reading a Liverpool fan tweet that maybe the FA would have helped us in Europe by changing the date of the Liverpool game if some of our fans hadn't broken the minutes silence for Hillsborough! It's gone beyond annoying, it is now an obsession and a mental disease. 3) They talk about respect but first and foremost, they are the ones disrespecting the people who lost their lives by throwing around the memory in every little petty thing. 4) The most annoying thing about it is that they act like the disaster was everyone else's fault and that everyone in the world somehow owes them something because of it. They're not saying that Hillsborough will inspire or motivate the players to win the league. That's fine (though I don't know why it would now when it hasn't "inspired" them for the past 25 years). They're actually saying that they deserve to win the league because of Hillsborough as if the world owes it them because of the disaster. I'm not English and don't even live in the UK, but I can't take this obsession any more!

Not the thread (probably should open a separate thread for this), but I think we should all sign this: http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/board-of-directors-chelsea-football-club-ban-mick-dennis-from-stamford-bridge-cobham-and-all-chelsea-press-conferences-events?recruiter=90811084&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=share_twitter_mobile That cowardly and disgusting action cannot go unpunished.

LOL That can't possibly be any more obviously fake!

Am I the only one who finds that beyond wrong? And I'm not talking about the annoying media bias, but genuinely ethically wrong towards the people who lost their lives? I mean what does Liverpool winning the league has to do with Hillsborough?! Like that would bring them back or make their deaths okay. How can you equate a sports title to the lives of humans or even imply that their loss would make one contender more deserving than the other?!
