Again hypocrisy GDS2 you have just stated that you can't make a prediction 3 games in to the season yet you state that you fancy finishing 25 points ahead of us come the end of the season! that's a prediction mate! I certainly am not daft enough to think that we are going to win the league, but if you look over both our last 19 games you will see that in fact we have collected 1 more point than you and we have only conceded 3 goals in our last ten games! Add to that sakho and ilori and you should realise that we have an excellent base to work from now! We also have suarez to come in to the fold and sturridge just can not stop scoring mate! You will not finish 25-30 points infront of us, if you do I will be the first over here to say you were right!

Ian,

Can you see the difference between these two sentences?

1. I think united will finish 25 points ahead of Liverpool.

2. You won't finish 25 points ahead of us and you won't win the league.

One of them is me stating my opinion, the other is you stating your opinion as if it is a fact. There is more chance based on the last few seasons that we will finish 25 points ahead of you, you said it's not possible if you go 8 points ahead of us, whereas I said that actually and mathematically it is possible and likely as we have a better squad than you.

I am pretty confident you had no idea who sakho and ilori were until Sunday, and now they are suddenly going to help you improve.

Good little analysis with the last 10 games, 4 of which were after we had already won the league and weren't bothering at the end of last season, and still you only got 1 more point than us, not sure exactly what point you were trying to make there but it wasn't a very good one.

In all fairness I like the banter, you are talking some sense which is more than tel and puzzled and lfc have ever done on here and you clearly love Liverpool, but you wouldn't be here if you didn't win on Sunday, you would be on your own page moaning about signing two unknown players when you need quality enforcements.

GDS2 just let me tell you mate I follow football all the time, apart from my son and my fiance I live it and I breath it so I can tell you now that I did know ilori and sakho prior to signing them as I have watched ilori in the nextgen tournament at youth level for sporting lisbon, very relaxed on the ball, confident, plays in to feet, brings the ball out, like agger really! and have seen sakho also, strong in the air, tough in the tackle, but can also play and is a threat in the oppositions box! I know my stuff mate! Now I replied to a very arrogant comment made by sydney who said that you will finish 25-30 points above us in the league! I know mathematically its possible you can do it but I just don't see it! Say if van persie were to become injured, Where do the goals come from? He already cuts a frustrated figure as the service into him isn't there! Wellbeck just isn't a 20-30 goals a season man and rooney is out for a few weeks with a gash to his head, there is a doubt as to whether he wants to be at united also and he is your most creative player!

Ok ill say it, Liverpool will finish 25 points behind us again, shako is known as the beast in france and 4 years ago was talked as the best up and comer, well 4 years on he ain't improved and psg were looking for a club silly enough to spend over 12m on him, congratulations u are that club.
Many pundits and coaches of la liga couldn't believe aspas went for nearly 10m, 10m for a player who is 28, only had 1 season of top flight football, and by all accounts was valued at nomore than 3m, llori is mistake prone ala Titus Bramble.
Sturridge will drop u in a second if he's form continues, which I dnt think it will.
Coutiniho looks a very good player I must say, I bet he can't wait to get to barca next season!
Hd bye :-)

Actually Chris, most pundits and coaches were surprised Aspas didn't go to the confederations cup.

4.) 06 Sep 2013
Were they kiwi? Hmmm. Never heard that tbh, I think u will find they wernt mate

On the 1st of February Vicente Del Bosque said this of Michu: ""We recognise his worth and his goals in the Premier League, but we couldn't find a space for him at the moment. The same thing happened with Iago Aspas. "

So he was very very tempted to put Aspas in the Spain squad. The same as Michu, but he went with experience in the form of Torres. So I highly doubt 'most pundits and coaches of la liga couldn't believe aspas went for nearly 10m' as you said. The national coach had him on the fringes of the Spanish national side, which is not easy to get into.

Also Aspas is 26, not 28.

Lip service kiwi! sorry aspas is 26, so he's in his 'prime' lol.
Get over it man! u over paid for a player that most think isn't good enuff for liverpool and was only worth 2m tops

7.) 06 Sep 2013
Your wrong chris. You say 'lip service', but why even mention Aspas if he didn't believe he was close to getting into the squad? You don't hear Didier Deschamps come out and say David N'gog was unlucky not to get into the national team do you?

You've been proven to be making stuff up, nothing to back up your claim that Aspas wasn't well thought of in Spain, and getting his age completely wrong.

Also if we want to talk about overpaying for a player, how about we discuss the 27.5 million pounds spent on Fellaini?

Not to mention a huge sum of cash spent (wasted) on Juan Veron lol
