      When you look at this and think... we've played Everton, Arsenal, and the mancs (and won them by a combined 12-1 score) it's hard not to feel a good amount of confidence in keeping this thing rolling.

      Feeling fine right now!

      It's incredible mate, I'm truly staggered with the squad we have where Brendan has us sitting at the moment. That alone means he should be given a new contract and of course will. I thought this thread was massively optimistic when created and still have to pinch myself that it's actually realistic. The moment I thought "this is on" was when Stevie buried the penalty in the last moments against Fulham if anyone on the planet deserves a league winners medal more than Stevie G I challenge anyone to tell me who they are because I've never seen someone more deserving without one.

      I dream of seeing his reaction of us winning it, I'll freely admit that I'd very nearly accepted the fact that he never would and that saddened me greatly in a football sense. Now should we not make it this year I actually now believe there is every chance that we could just manage it as I see him playing on for a few years. He's surprised me how well he's adapted to his new role and I actually wouldn't swap him for anyone in that position now and that, considering I thought he would struggle massively there is the best thing to witness.

      The funny thing is I have no idea how I'd react to us winning our first Premier League title, not a single clue and I'm sure many of you share that feeling, going to be damn good to find out though.

      We have achieved top 4 so we really have nothing to lose. We have a full squad. We must be a chance.

      Gotta beat Cardiff first though.

      As much as I want to believe were going to win the league....Its Football and I have gotten really paranoid and superstitious about it.  The second the talking heads start debating whether Liverpool can win the league, I hit mute and change the channel. I have adopted the same philosophy that Baseball players do when the pitcher is throwing a no hitter, dont talk about it, dont think about and just ignore it.

      Plus I have recently turned into a complete lunatic because I decided I am personally responsible for the last 5 wins. I usually DVR matches but the last 5 matches I watched live and we won them all, which automatically means I am responsible for this title run. Including the day I told my boss I had a bad Egg McMuffin and sat on the toilet at work and watched the match on my phone.

      My 10 year old is already excited about watching Liverpool in the Champions league next season, as he can't remember watching them when get was 5. It got me thinking how great it would be for all these young Liverpool fans that have chosen the reds as their team, to be rewarded with us lifting the title.
      Despite the obvious temptation to glory hunt, and take the easy option of Utd, City or the chavs, these fans have chose to support a team which never really looked like challenging for the title, it shows just how genuine our fans are.
      We now have a generation of fans like this who have never witnessed us raise the trophy, and stick by us.
      Lets hope that changes this season!

      In no way is this meant to put a dampener on things but I hope we don't fall back to pessimism if we get a bad result in the remaining games.

      Keep things in perspective and accept that the target this season was always CL qualification and it looks like that's been achieved.  We all felt that this would be our best and possibly our only chance to do that with the upheaval at certain clubs but the way the season's gone there's no reason why we can't push on again next year and beyond that.

      Our form, our players and our Manager have already taken us to a consistently high level we didn't believe possible at the start of campaign so there really is no need to become despondent. 

      Let's all enjoy the ride and prepare ourselves for even better to come   xxxxx:action-smiley-065:

      I'd be interested to find out which match people think is more important; City on the 13th or Chelsea on the 27th. I think if we can put one over on City it'll give us an amazing amount of confidence to carry into the Chelsea match. What I like most about the team now is that there is no sense of inadequacy about the squad. They seem to believe that every game is winnable, especially at home, and yet there isn't any arrogance like Mourinho's Chelsea. I think Rodgers deserves a lot of credit for that.

      City are up first so that's the more important game. But today is more important then both those games

      Totally agree, I hope we win it this season, but its a big ask. One thing that's for sure is that we are now moving in a the right direction, we are surely back in CL which means more money, we have a fantastic cocaching set up and manager, superb young players coming through and the best strike partnership in the country if not the world. Things are looking very very good.
