What are your thoughts on 4th place? Should surely be aiming as high as that now Dave? Possibly 3rd?

That's the thing you see. Liverpool are the catchable one of the four as things stand, so a defeat for them, coupled with a win for us against Fulham will put us in a very strong position.

The top three are probably out of reach but fourth is definitely up for grabs, not just for us but for Spurs and Villa too.

For once, the Premier League season looks to have excitement in it across the board with a degree of unpredictability about Champions League, Europa League and the relegation places.

He raises some good points with regards to the signing of youngsters and so on, he also makes some very good points about negotiating fees. From what I understand, the sale of Xabi Alonso was the first sale where Rafa was actually fully involved in negotiations, setting the fee and raising/lowering the demands. To think Parry would have let him go to Arsenal/Juve for £13m is a frightening thought, to be honest. But yeah, Tomkins is a little biased for me, but he does his best to use facts to back up his arguments. I rarely read his stuff tbh.

Is that the liverpool based Tomkins who makes up transfer fees or a different one? Not being rubbish, just not sure.

The only way we'll win playing one upfront is if we scab a 1-0 towards the end. Can't see him starting Owen with Berbatov and Rooney is pretty much out, so a Liverpool side that is there for the taking will be encouraged by Utd's negativity. However, I'm pinning all my hopes on Owen coming of the bench to steal the above mentioned 1-0 win.

I think you are mistaking Liverpool for a team who can defend.
