As I said before, I just think they will come up short, but the way you wrote them off as no-hopers was laughable - They and City have played the best football in the league this season and for football's sake, I'd hope they win the title ahead of Chelsea or Arsenal.
Nearly every time Liverpool have got giddy about a possible title bid they've gone and produced a shocker like Toure's gift to West Brom.
Liverpool totally destroyed Arsenal in the league, then played them in the cup and went straight out.
Today should have been a proper test for Liverpool but the Man United players were too busy getting rid of Moyes to care.
I don't think the football we've produced this season has been great, but we are still top of the league and we are still carrying Torres.
I could care less about how well Liverpool have played. Man City might have played well when teams bend over for them, but when it really mattered they were poor. And they did bottle a home cup game to Wigan Athletic. I couldn't care less about neutrals supporters wishes for where the title goes.
As for getting a shock, they may indeed get one of City, but there will be no shocks against Chelsea, because Mourinho will simply turn up and try to do his usual 'hit and run' job that he always does against decent teams away from home - Chelsea could very easily sneak a 1-0 or a 2-1, but the way they will play will shock nobody.
We shocked Man City in the league. In the home game against Liverpool we went one down early in the game. We then went up a few gears and blew them away until we were 2-1 up and then we coasted again.
We have a squad and manager who know what to do in title and cup battles. A few Liverpool players will have distant memories of bottling it when they should have won a title. But the manager and this team still don't really know what a title deciding match is like.
Anything can happen in football so I could be shocked by Liverpool or Arsenal winning the league. Either of those teams winning the league I would hate, but I'm not too worried about it happening. I thought Arsenal and Man City would go out easily in the CL and they did exactly that. I expect Liverpool and Arsenal to fall in the league in a similar way.
