Happy Christmas

Really loved the celebration!!!!!!!

*Tips hat to the Bitters*... (Can't beleive i actually did that)..
Its definitely a statement to the other considered top 3, we're in this scrap till the end.. YNWA!!!

Can I just say We are top at Christmassssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssss sssssssssssssssss, am now going mad cause im sooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooo           happpppppppppppppppppppp pppppppppppppppppppppppp pyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyy

Great work done so far enjoy christmas,then go win the league. YNWA

In all fairness, we have to thank Everton for that. They did us a favour, and by the sounds of it, they did it well.

and enjoy it more come the end of the season when we win it sound good to me

every team who has been top at christmas has won the league in the last 4 years

but

this year it is closer than ever,

but

this year the top 4 teams have become normal.... i think villa will beat arsenal and everton to forth place, will people speak of villa as a top 4 team then...maybe not.

lets just enjoy this moment, my hunch is we WILL win the league, and im often correct, but we REALLY must start playing better to start a gap up and gain confidence.....we could do with a spare striker in january, or lets give nemeth or pacheco a go

lets just enjoy this moment, my hunch is we WILL win the league, and im often correct

And ever so modest!

every team who has been top at christmas has won the league in the last 4 years

Arsenal were top last year and didn't win the league

3 out of the last 4 is still darn good odds but we will have to be better in the second half of the season.

I cannot believe what is happening this season. Its the stars, positioning of the planets, the moon's revolution i have no bloody clue but i'm stoked we're top even though i dont know how!

That would have been the worst point they've earned against a top 4 team deep down for all of them knowing they're helping us to the title

Fantastic!

Once again, Liverpool remain top, and thanks to an unlikely source in the form of Evertons efforts to hold Chelsea. It is looking more and more like a much lower points tally will be required to win the league this season, with no dominant force coming to the fore.
In complete contrast to the past 4 years where everyone has been complaining about the dominance of the big 4, this year it seems the big 4 are more vulnerable than ever. An interesting aside is to look at which teams the big 4 have dropped points against so far.

Liverpool

Aston Villa
Stoke
Tottenham
Fulham
Westham

A pattern seems to be emerging that Liverpool and Arsenal are having more trouble against unfashionable sides, whereas Man Utd and Chelsea are having trouble with the bigger clubs.
For years observers have been saying that Liverpools main problem is lack of points against the big four, and now it appears the trend is in reverse.
All 3 points against lower sides must now become the priority if this title is to be won. The odd win against the big four wont do any harm either. 

This season looks like its going to be a long bumpy ride, to maintain our lead with three consecutive draws, wow, it is absolutely amazing, but I am not complaining.  Yes, we could have had a lead, but hey at the beginning of the season would I not of have settled for top spot at Christmas.  So for me as long as we are there I couldn't give a hell about how we are there! 

This is the best season I remember. Looks like there's going to be a proper title race, loads of teams that could down, surprise promoted packages, a team that looks like it could break the top four, any team can pick up points anywhere and Liverpool top at Christmas without even nearly hitting top form!

Although I kind of expect things to turn normal again in the new year and I think everyone would agree we need to start playing much better if we're going to win the league, Chelsea and United won't keep the pre-Christmas form going for long so we'll have to get our act together soon. But the main thing to consider and saviour right now is that we're in control of where the title ends up in May

Mate, we're just waiting for Torres to come back and regain his form then we may be able to put more pressure on our rivals.  I just found out about the Chelsea result a few hours ago as I just felt that they weren't going to drop point three times on the bounce, I couldn't watch the game and dreaded looking at the table expecting them to be top, couldn't believe it, mate.

Yeah I agree, Torres is absolutely key to our challenge. I think once he gets back to form and if we keep our away form we can start to open up a gap. With him back there'll be far less of these 0-0 draws at home, the massive majority of his goals last season came at home. Fingers crossed the time missed hasn't affected him too much.

Ha was delighted with that result too. Not often I celebrate a good result for the bitters but that Christmas turkey is going to taste much nicer now!

Yeah...we're still on top at Christmas...wooohooo!

Stevie is not playing at all well, Robbie is nowhere near his potential, and Torres is injured, nevertheless we still lead the Prem!
It all bodes well for the new year. Any two off the above coming back on song and I think we can make a determined challenge this campain.
I think all we require now is a drop of luck and a following wind!
