West Ham United v Liverpool - several ex-pool players here should let pool win this match
Liverpool v Manchester City - homeground advantage
Norwich City v Liverpool - LS favourite hunting ground
Liverpool v Chelsea - homeground advantage
Crystal Palace v Liverpool - probably the most difficult match. Selhurst park not pool's favourite ground and CP just gunned down chelsea
Liverpool v Newcastle United - homeground advantage

I checked and cannot find any news on this bust up...think was the Spurs dressing bust up that is true...

so let us move on from this and dun speculate anymore...

The home games with Manchester City and Newcastle will be a challenge. Newcastle players seem to have a "special" feeling towards Liverpool in recent years.

I'm more concern with the away games, especially with West Ham and Crystal Palace.

I wish Suarez runs riot at Carrow Road.

I share your worries. These teams are fighting for survival and wounded tigers are at their most dangerous. Given the home support, it is easier for these teams to get points from these matches. Just look at Crystal Palace last weekend. The players are playing for their livelihoods. I suppose they will have to take a big pay cut if their teams are relegated.

The good news is that West Ham beat Sunderland last night. The chances of West Ham being relegated now is very remote. We might need Sakho to deal with the physical strength of West Ham.

I am thinking we might not need to win 6 matches to win the league. Given that Mourinho is unhappy with Chelsea's strikers, these strikers know they will not be around next season. Just drop 1 or 2 more points and Chelsea's players will be conserving strength for the World Cup. Which top player want to be a Victor Valdes if there isn't any trophy to fight for anymore this season?

As for Man City, we are assuming they will win their 2 matches on hand. That is a big assumption. Why can't Man City drop more points and let us extend our lead? Man City has been either very dominant or damn terrible. Given Aguero's injury history this season, I think he won't want to get another hamstring injury and miss the World Cup too. If I were BR, I would play this card in the media. Try hinting at players to preserve their health for the World Cup and we might see lacklustre performances from Man City.

Our team on the other hand have good players who probably won't make it for the World Cup. Coutinho, Flanagan, Agger, Allen, Sterling

fully agreed...

Liverpool going for BPL crown to match 19 titles and 14 match winning run records
Louis Suarez going for Player Of the Year and Golden Boot plus 31 goals record
Brendan Rodgers going for Coach of the Year and 1st BPL title
LS and DS going for 31 goals scoring record partnership
SG going for full club record ie medals for BPL, CL, UEFA, FA Cup, League Cup, Charity Shield...playing for one club only in his career

any more records to shoot...if this is not enough then what else motivates the Players and Coaches...

Just thought of this. Will BR be the youngest manager to win the EPL? The other guys who had won it all feel much older. SAF, Wenger, Manicini, Mourinho.

Man City's remaining matches are not easy. I think they will drop more points. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/f...e-9226541.html

Out of the balance 8 games, Manchester City has 5 home games and with teams a level easier to snatch 3 points. However, nothing is cast in stone.

Like Liverpool, City has to visit Crystal Palace. A visit to Everton thereafter. These back-to-back away games are a good chance for Manchester City to drop points.

1. Jose Mourinho, 42, Chelsea (04/05)

2. Kenny Dalglish, 44, Blackburn (94/95)

3. Roberto Mancini, 47, Manchester City (11/12)

4. Arsene Wenger, 48, Arsenal (97/98)

5. Carlo Ancelotti, 50, Chelsea (09/10)

6. Sir Alex Ferguson, 51, Manchester United (92/93).

Wah! Nice compilation...
Many forget Kenny Dalglish winning the title. Haha!
If Brendan Rodgers win the BPL this season, he will replace Jose Mourinho since Rodgers birthday had passed and he is 41.

Of the 5 home games, Southhampton plays good footall. Sunderland is looking to revenge the League Cup final defeat. A few draws at the Etihad is actually quite possible. http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1770660

I think dalgish was younger when he won the bpl with Blackburn.

Don't get ur hopes to high,just enjoy being up there...winning 14 games in a row won't be easy...its all abt holding the nerves on the final stretch....I still think city will edge us.. We don't win it the impact on the players will hard and we might suffer next season.I still think we are ahead of time but we all dare to dream.dreams are for free.win or lose its being a great season for us.YNWA

yes West Ham is a kee seow team. Really good when they are on form. Still remembered how they routed Spurs 0-3 away! Yester I thought Sunderland would likely win but WH led 0-2 n held on to win 1-2. Bet our ex boys would be fired up to play spoilers.

Haha. What a difference a day make. Anyway, I share your views. Silently hoping for the best but also prepared just in case we don't win it. There have been so many false alarms in the past and Liverpool can be quite unpredictable at times. You spoke about destiny and signs. Well, we were leading the league during Christmas and normally the team that leads during Christmas wins the league.

But I will always remember this season. This season, those shots that normally hit the goal posts in previous seasons all go in. We are thrashing teams like Tottenham, Man U, Arsenal, Everton as if these teams are Norwich. I was with a friend for the Arsenal match. At 3-0 up, we were looking at each other in disbelief at the amazing way we played. memories...
