Reckon they would start to invade our traditional support bases again like they did in the 90's? I would like to think not, I think we have established ourselves as a classy, family club since that period and they are almost the complete opposite. Here's hoping we never find out though!

they wont. a one off season and if they do achieve it, well done to them

however as can be shown from their goal difference, they have sneaked a lot of 1 goal wins

also if they achieve 4th, they have won the right to attempt to qualify for the league and will have to win a two legged tie first

no certainty that

They will get about £30-40m Champions League money next season if they qualify just for the group stages. Top players would flock to them for the opportunity to play in the Champions League and with more smart buys they could stay there, pains me to say.

They're only where they are because Spuds, Chelsea and Arsenal have had mediocre seasons.

Which only highlights what a bad season we've had.

Such a snore statement...
Aresnal and Spurs have more points this year than they had in april last year. Our current points Haul would have us 3 points ahead of city last year in 4th place... But yep, we are where we are on luck only

these days?

Hasn't it always been like that?

Junior school from 1988-1992 was FULL of Liverpool "fans". Many of them still remain, despite never/hardly ever going to their games.

the odds are they will be in the europa league. they have done well this season but this is not the 1990s.
