Saw someone in here mention that Lescott went mental when Yaya scored but I didn't notice at the time (went to a local bar and watched with the new supporters club here in Austin!). Found a vine: https://vine.co/v/MvrZduuQtY3 -- lol.

Until this season.
Now I know exactly what it's like to be a football fan and I love my club even more for it.

I don't beleive so.
I'll never know how anyone could just switch teams it's just alien to me.
Been a fan for over 20 years, would of been longer but I raised to be either a West Brom or Wolves fan (family thing) when I was around 9 or 10 I had to make a choice. Luckily I had an older cousin who supported United and advised me to join the dark side and piss off both sides of the families lol never looked back.
the goals if anyone is interested -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hXm4JZiNag&list=UUGuKcutpYUHqv0gvPstbLZA
Zaza (our player), Tevez, Marchisio (a trademark Pirlo assist) and a Llorente back heel goal.
considering it after page 95.

WTF
What's with Japan and these reactions
? When I was down there I saw countless ads like this I can't laugh at him, he's old
why are you the way you are wooden
I can never laugh at those who display such sadness. Even seeing Gerrard's reaction to his mistake after Ba scored (the one in slow-mo) was heartbreaking.
Speaking of heartbreaking...
Wow, what the hell happened to newcastle? 4 wins in nearly 20 GAMES?? One of those wins came against Chelsea lol (sums up Chelsea this season).
Speaking of heartbreaking...
Oh man, I wish it was focused on Iniesta
Liverpool have to remember if City even draw just once the title is theirs - unless they lose to Crystal Palace which, having seen City beat them easily, they won't.
Most players held back tears other than Messi. Iniesta looks pretty tough there. I would have cried myself in such a position.
it was nice to see so many people show up for Tito. His kid looks EXACTLY like him!
Bah
I don't know what the big deal is. Liverpool Football Club always make the simplest of tasks unnecessarily nervy. I wouldn't be surprised if we won it on the last day. If we don't, fair play to the eventual winner. I just hope we carry our form into next season on all fronts, if possible.
I was sad for Gerrard that he slipped, as it will probably haunt him, but it happens.

It must be very sad for the players and the true fans who have known Tito for years to witness this. Just imagine how we may feel when we lose our lovable managers
I think the assumption is that Man city has found form at exactly the right time and will see this out, which might be right. And I think Liverpool fans do think that winning the title is somewhat an overachievement for a team that is still obviously work in progress. For all the talk about deserve or whatever, i'm not sure if Liverpool really believes it.
If they don't win it, i'd still hate that all that remains from this year and how Gerrard would remember it is that one slip.
That is Chelsea's specialty. Every single time they had the chance to cement their place on top of the league for another game or two they threw it away. This has been happening for years. Hell, if it was not for Gerrard's slip in 2010 they would have not won the title since 2006.
Tbf, I'm less worried about losing the title than I am of a repeat of 09/10.
So weird seeing Messi display actual emotion. Very nice picture (I hope noone misinterprets this).What's with Japan and these reactions

And I agree about Gerard, as much as I'm rooting for Mou, it's a very heartbreaking situation specially after the "slip" speech. I really don't understand why people are mocking Gerard so much, he's class and doesn't deserve it.
Nice to see your post! Let's hope luck is on our side this team! PACK MAS. Enjoy the game tonight!
Possibly; it will be very tricky. Though it is City's to lose first, Liverpool second and Chelsea third. Though I think Liverpool are the likeliest; one draw for City and Liverpool get it. For Chelsea to get it, I think it will be almost impossible, they need Liverpool to lose against Crystal Palace (liverpool will be getting 3 points, guaranteed, against Newcastle at Anfield) AND they need City to lose a game as well. Even draws won't suffice. And of course, Chelsea need to win their last 2 games, one of which is away at Cardiff. And Chelsea away to bottom 5-6 clubs can be horrible.
You know what image plays back in my mind from time to time? When Mignolet fumbled Negredo's shot, there was a digital billboard in the background that had Yaya Toure on it with the most disingenuous smile that I have ever seen. That moment there I conceded that he was going to win the league.

Re: the discussion of how our season will be regarded if and when we're beaten to the title, it will be a disappointing, massive success. It will hurt until the ends of our lives as we had it in our grasp and I think it's probably Gerrard's last chance, as I really can't see us repeating a challenge next year without incredible summer business, with multiple Sturridge-quality transfers.
But past the instantly emotional feelings of regret, going from 7th to 3rd when most of us expected an unsuccessful battle for fourth is exceptional, and has shot us back up in terms of our standing. Back in the Champion's League which is fantastic, and going toe-to-toe with 2 great teams/squads/managers/staff. We've been essentially a nothing team for 5 years now before this season. Never looking like doing anything great in league standings, and being just about good enough to prevent ourselves from sliding to 8th and below.
Rodgers and this team have restored our pride in the present rather than just the past, and given the entire club a huge shot in the arm. They've given it everything this year, and I'm not gonna let one moment of our icon taking his eye off the ball cloud my feelings about them. They've played beyond their years, and not once have I come out of a game thinking thet haven't put ebough effort in.
In all likelihood, it won't end where I wanted it to when we'd seen the potential destination, but fuck me, it's been a hell of a ride

RAWKish and mawkish, but fuck it

Agreed, it is a very nice and depressing pic.
And I also agree about Gerrard...feel for the guy. And the problem is that the slip can't be blamed on him in all honesty, it happens. I remember Azpiliqueta slipping at a crucial moment when Altidore from Sunderland was about to enter the box and by the time he got back up and tackled the player, he (incorrectly) conceded a penalty.
LOL Yurt, why Rhino for the last pic
?West Ham is so off form nowadays and the fact that they're playing at the Etihad means it is game over for them. Likewise for Aston Villa, who are doing even worse. In fact, were it not for the win against Chelsea (of course, lol) their run of recent games would have been horrible at best.
Everton are also a bit lackluster at the moment; very poor against Southampton with 2 own goals to boot, and just poor against Crystal Palace at home too. Though they are the only ones capable of upsetting City.
you're going to win the title
