so forgive me for that

still 10 games to go,still possible

or this way if you like although we should not read too much into it
all depends on how team performs on a day

believe me spuds will drop enough points all depends on our very own consistency


more about psychological aspect of it
how we can recover
you think everton game moved later is good or bad ?
i say negative cause after such defeat u want ur next game come ASAP to get get back to winning ways

Next weekend neither Arsenal, nor Chelsea or Everton play.

Which mean, when we beat Spurs next sunday, we'll be 6th, 2 points behind Arsenal and 7 points behind 4th, with all those teams under pressure

You have a striker, it will be a big win for you guys.

All of those clubs will still have a game in hand on us so it won't mean much.

Highlights: Hoffenheim 0-1 Bayern ( http://bit.ly/XCiepT ) Heynckes' side stay 17pts clear in Germany thanks to Gómez's 8th goal of season

In theory, but psychologically it'll wind up Everton so much to see us above them in the league for the first time this season.

They'll have a game in hand, but they'll go into it, knowing they are behind us. it puts pressure on them. That's what happened to us vs WBA imo, we played monday and all of our rivals had won that weekend.

It'll be an incredible achievement if we beat Spurs. We haven't beaten them in the league since January 2010.

saw that on LFC section
tried my predos and after matchday 33 we were due to go above spuds but fire fox crashed

I tried mine

Wigan ended up 10th so i closed it instantly

We are screwed, we would be lucky to get 15points from the remaining games. All the bottom teams will fight like dogs.

i hope wigan and QPR are already relegated by the time we play them
liverpool finished above everton by better GD and wigan 20th RG

I did that prediction thing and we finished 5th.

VAGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

I did it aswell and we was 6th and you was 7th
