HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Don't f**k this up now Paris FFS!

Why do keepers always commit themselves with Hazard's penalties? He waits for the keeper to go and rolls it at snails pace 3 yards to the other side. Just stand up and then drop as he's hitting it.

I know you're not meant to think like this but I'd love to see Costa break both his legs.

Didn't know where else to post this, so here will do... Considering our rubbish start to the season, how mad is this.... If we'd won the league game v Chelsea at Anfield (and we were ahead at one point), we'd currently only be 6 pts off the top of the league, with 10 games to play. Thought that was pretty crazy really.

When are they doing the draw for the semi?

I'd have sympathy if they didn't earn about £80k for doing something which either requires little real ability, or can be done even if you lack the required ability. And people say it's really hard which, in a certain context, it is. But let's be honest. It's hardly 10 hours a day in a factory.

Not overly arsed if the Mancs did beat Spurs. Prefer a draw but if the Mancs win, it gives us the chance to open up a gap on Spurs. Then the following week, we beat the Mancs & overtake them.

I'm waiting to see how the Sterling contract thing pans out before entirely reaching that conclusion.

Speaking of Arsenal, I was wondering this the other day - why do we never win there anymore?

Dave Whelan has finally done the world a favour and resigned as Wigan chairman.

That's why I'm hoping the volume of games in a short space of time might take its toll.

Only problem with Spurs is that they have Swansea at home on Wednesday and they go to QPR on Saturday - I'd have preferred slightly tougher games to test them. Swansea are alright but you'd want Spurs to be playing them away. At WHL, Spurs will be strong favourites. And QPR are just useless and have a manager with no management experience.

Always thought that if we stay within 4-5 points of the Mancs by the time they come to Anfield, we'd finish above them. As it stands, we're 2 points behind them and could conceivably be above them in about 51 hours from now.

Probably just wishful thinking though.

Someone suggested to me that it was John Terry...

It'll be interesting to see what happens with Spurs over the next week or so. Their next two league games will be the latter 2 of four games in 10 days: Thursday 26th Feb Fiorentina away Sunday 1st March League Cup final Wednesday 4th March Swansea home Saturday 7th March QPR away Tired legs have to be a factor somewhere. As well as the emotional/confidence knocking impact of being eliminated from two cup competitions in four days.

That's fair enough. Curious as to anyone else had heard or read anything along the same lines though, regarding a change to how the seeding/co-efficients are going to be done. I'm 90% sure that it's the case but can't for the life of me remember where I read or heard about it. 7 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. How does that tally with the games we've got left? Not saying it doesn't or disagreeing with you, just interested to see whether you think it fits in accurately with those fixtures. Assuming we can beat Burnley, QPR, Palace, Newcastle & Man Utd at Anfield, that'd mean just 3 wins from our away games would already have us on 72pts. It's all speculative though I guess. I'd like to think we could be winning all 5 of those home games. Some of the aways at the so called lesser sides, have the potential to be difficult. Hull & West Brom likely to be fighting for their survival. Chelsea & Arsenal always going to be difficult and Swansea/Stoke away could be anything.

Not sure but the same logic would apply to an extent - eg, how can one of the top sides in one of the two top leagues not be seeded but the winners of, say, the Greek or Swedish league (for example) does get seeded? Doesn't make sense really. Burnley h Swansea a Man Utd h Arsenal a Newcastle h Hull a West Brom a QPR h Chelsea a Palace h Stoke a

Is there not a change in how they're going to do the seedings from now on? Rather than club co-efficients, they're placing more value on the position you finished in your own league & the ranking of your league/association? For example, City winning the title in one of the top 2 leagues but being in Pot 3 was ridiculous. If this is true & I've not dreamt it, then finishing 3rd (or even 2nd) would mean we wouldn't be vulnerable to being 'unseeded' in the group draw.

Did he subsequently regret the live 'outburst' he had when he was Newcastle manager?

Martin Broughton is at Anfield today. Seems weird to me. Why would he be here when his team are playing a final at Wembley?

They're jammy feckers but there's no way that wasn't a penalty Southampton losing 1-0 at the moment.

Henderson, Coutinho & Sakho all back in, fit and fresh. Markovic also fresh and available. Sturridge needs to up his level and Sterling too, but feel a bit more confident than I was this morning. We can beat these.

From English football's point of view, binning the League Cup and ditching replays in the FA Cup would be a start, in terms of fitting things in.
