LGJM, I know that there are Liverpool fans on here who won't bring this one up, because they don't want to tempt fate, but this little gem from yourself is currently miles ahead in the 'post of the year' contest....

When was that posted? Because in fairness going into the new year liverpool had lost away at city and chelsea in quick sucession over christmas and were off the pace. I think at that stage most people would have had them down as top 4 contenders rather than real title contenders.

But then they just started winning games, they won some more.....and some more. All of a sudden the end is in sight and they are top of the league with it in their own hands.

It was posted in the run up to the Man Utd/Liverpool game at Old Trafford .....

If I have a choice between the world ending and Liverpool winning the league, I'd choose the world to end.

I hoped and prayed that they'd have fallen away. To their credit they are still in there and are now favourites. If we don't sort ourselves out in the second half they're even bigger favourites...

2nd half starting....

Why do you have such a pathological hatred of liverpool?

Deep down, do you wish you had their history?

Because they are the most bitter set of hypocritical ****'s in the world.

No. I respect their history and their awesome record of achievement.

But I'm 100% CFC and am happy with the history we have - good, bad and mediocre.

Good win but season is far from over.

Still don't think we'll win the league.

Couldn't believe how static we were after going two up today. The last ten mins of the first half and most of the second half we were very slack, we didn't even counter with much intent which allowed Citeh to attack at will. Very glad we won with such controversy today. We played Citeh away after Christmas and played very well, we had a certain goal chalked off for Sterling being offside when he wasn't, so I was pleased that things 'evened' themselves out today.

Won't believe we can win the league 'til we're holding the trophy and Brendan's wearing the crown, but today was a huge step for us.

Won't be making any calls on the Chelsea game. It'll be a huge game, I'm just glad we're at home for it. Hope Sturridge is fit.

What's going to happen is that Chelsea win the rest of our games this season.

But Man City are going to win the rest of theirs, so they're champions.

No matter what happens though the fact that Liverpool are top of the table and title favourites right now is because of a truly exceptional run of Liverpool results. 10 wins in a row, including a victory at Old Trafford and a home win against Man City in a "title decider" is an awesome achievement.

I strongly dislike LFC and cannot stand Brendan Rodgers, but what they've done this season has been a revelation.

Martin Tyler sounded like someone had killed his puppy when City scored
