Tough luck for Liverpool today.

Toon still 5 points clear in the last Euro spot with 9 to play each.

The match at SJP against Pool on April Fool's Day is gong to be the decider.

I just wish I could be there.

I stopped watching at 2-0, thought job done. Apparently everyone else did as well. I don't think that will be a decider, I think we will have trailed off by then.

.... whereas, of course, I think that it'll be Toon who crumbles under pressure.

I'm too lazy to look up Liverpool's remaining schedule but Toon has several nasty ones to go. Aside from the April 1st clash, we've got Man C at home and Chelsea away plus a tricky one in Swansea.

FFS, when I left work last night they were 2-1 up with 2 minutes to play.

You lot better be good, in not in the best mood right now

Well, this cheered me up a little... Englands "All time Top flight league table"

Yes, I'm aware I'm clutching at straws....

Clutch away. Straws are all we have this year .....again ( apart from the Carling ).

And the FA cup....

To burst my own bubble, if you figure out points per game, that other team along the M62 is just ahead

What can I say... its a slow day today, and no, I didnt work it out for all the teams on the table

You mean across Stanley Park ?

No, not the "third best team in Liverpool", the other other team

Seeing as I just double checked, here's the top ten rearranged for points per game (perhaps there is a reason academics have post grad students to do things for them)

Ah that make more sense. I'd made the school boy error of calculating the reciprocals so I deleted and sent myself to see the Dean.

I'm glad Iain isn't online much at the weekend.

I think otherwise that when I mention that Liverpool had another disappointing result today, my status would be in jeopardy.

Hopefully he'll have calmed down by Monday, and hopefully Toon will have increased the gap by then too.

King Kenny is doing wonders with that 100 million plus transfer he's spent. Has turned the team right around.

Could this be Mancini's "You know what I'd love it" moment...........

Tee-hee. Nice one today though. With an 8 point cushion we can weather the 0-6 thrashing Liverpool will lay on us next weekend and still be 5 points clear with 7 games left.
