What a goal by David Luiz, against Fulham!
Game against Everton was one I had chalked in as a potential loss, and same for Utd next week. But if we win the rest of the games like we should on paper then I think we'll be in top 4. Chelsea have quite a demanding schedule and I hope Tottenham can slip up somewhere. But yeah, it's going to go to the wire. I hope Chelsea can slip up before they play Tottenham (possibly against Utd) so the 3 teams will be even on points going into that weekend, which would be ideal for Arsenal :D
Also Arsenal need a feckin striker. I wish Giroud all the best but he is just not good enough when it comes to talent and ability! The only difference between him and Bendtner is entertainment value and Bendtner wins that hands down!
Also I think Cardiff are going straight back down cos I don't see any difference between them and Reading. Good team, well organised, great defence in the championship, but where's the quality? Full of good championship players but probably not good enough for the big time... :(

cant wait for suarez to leave so liverpool fans can eat their deluded words
fixed
unfortunately, downing sticks out like a sore thumb for me. he's improved but it has to be noted that he's gone from horrendous to average, which frankly isn't good enough for us
we'll be just fine if he left
over half your squad is average at best, seems like average is liverpool standard nowadays
good enough for our top four ambitions*
happy now?
happy now?
Anybody like the look of Andy Carroll + Suarez + Sturridge front three?
Lucas, Gerrard, Coutinho midfield, maybe a decent winger in there too and Sturridge/Carroll on the bench. I don't believe Rodgers can't make use of dem Carroll knockdowns for Suarez or Sturridge to run on to...

If only we had a decent goalie...
Beat me to it. I'm really sick of fans over here in Australia at least overrating Liverpool. They were amazing 20something years ago. They are the Buffalo Bills of the EPL, just because they were good once upon a time doesn't mean that their fans should even remotely expect to contend for a champions league spot in the near future.

Norwich and Swansea the strongest.

this is a new and exciting topic to discuss
Really happy, for you, i don't personally remember the time when gillingham let brighton share their ground but i'm still pretty grateful for it!
also 2 points needed from 2 games for brighton play-offs and i'm pretty optimistic after today's win!
edit also leicester have to beat watford and someone else for it to happen so i'm optimistic

Actually, they probably will be competing for a CL spot in the near future. If it was not for refs, Liverpool would actually be fourth right now. Don't believe me?

That aside, Liverpool look like they will be a really good side when FFP comes in. They have the best academy out of all the -big- clubs in England except maybe Arsenal. And if they keep landing players like Coutinho on such low prices, I see them contending for the EPL in 2-4 years.
