And, we're off.....2016/17

Just received an email from Everton asking me to answer a questionnaire about the design of a future kit. Good questionnaire and I like what the club have done with this. How long before it gets hijacked by Liverpool fans asking for a red kit?

Same thing happend with City last year when they redesigned the new badge. It went down well with the fans, could not understand why we had an eagle on the badge, a pigeon yes, but there's no Eagles in Manchester. The three stars were for the three divisions we had been in apparantly.

But the finished article re kit will not be to everyone's taste, you watch.

It's a good bit of pr Tashy, nothing more. They made a hash by changing the emblem a couple of years ago and so they are trying to be super inclusive. I doubt the kit mfr will take too much notice but the fans feel involved and that is good.

There is not a lot you can do with most first team kits. It is the away kit where you have more freedom and can have a bit of fun.

Sounds like a misquote of Shankly

Actually it was neither. The original was Danny Blanchflower in his capacity as a journalist rather than player.

What does me LT is that if it is a Nike kit, which ours is, then the kit looks the same as every other Nike team kit in the world, except the colours change.

Good work by the club, providing of course they then take into account some of the results. Otherwise there's no point at all

They do seem to only have one design per cycle. Pretty poor when you think of the size of Nike / Adidas etc and the size of the market.

I flew home today and watched more of the Liverpool Chelsea game. OMG that should never have been a free kick to Chelsea. Gerrard said Hazard was being clever winning the free kick as he knocked into Lallana - WTF?! I think he was being way too kind, I have another name for it - Cheating.

Win or lose I will accept the result tomorrow provided the best team wins and that cheating does not have a decisive part to play on either side.

Gerrard probably knows that he's in no position to be criticising players for going down easy.

Especially when he gave it to Demba :rofl:

😂😂😂 that's got to go down as the funniest moment in Premier League history.

Certainly one of the cruellest moments in PL history, not sure Liverpool supporters found it very funny.

Just shows how jealous most fans were of Liverpool having Gerrard......

Well done phil, what comes around goes around. Am sure we won the title that year when Gerrard did an impression of Bambi.

Interesting season 2013/14

After 24 games (the same point in the season as after this weekends games), Liverpool were 6 points behind City. They made that up and some. By the 35 game mark Liverpool were 6 points ahead of City (although City had a game in hand - effectively 9 point swing). OK Liverpool still blew it in the last 3 games after making up all that ground but that's besides the point.

Point is, Liverpool made 9 points on City from game week 24 to game week 35.

If Arsenal beat Chelsea tomorrow and the chasing pack also win their games. There will 2 sides within 6 points, and 2 points within 7 points of Chelsea.

1 team in 2013/14 made up 9 points on City in less time and we could have 4 teams with only 6/7 points to catch after this weekend's games.

I do think people are writing this season off a bit too prematurely.

If Chelsea and Arsenal draw, 3 teams could still be 7/8 points behind (Arsenal still 9 points). Still do-able (Liverpool made up 9 points with fewer games in 2013/14 as per above).

If Chelsea win tomorrow and others around them lose. 12 points and I concede it will probably all be over, it would need a Newcastle style collapse.

Liverpool had proven goalscorers and looked like getting something. Arsenal, and the others look like slipping up at any time. Even if Arsenal win tomorrow I don't think Chelsea will lose that many games and I can't see the chasing clubs winning often enough, and will have silly draws or defeats along the way. Just how I see it

Look I hate to be the one to brake it to you but
ARSENAL WILL NOT WIN THE LEAGUE THIS SEASON!

The only team capable of putting a run like that together is maybe City,but with their defence I can't see it.
Spurs haven't got the bottle.
Liverpool haven't got the players or the bottle.
Arsenal are just Arsenal.

So that makes Chelsea champions 😜😜😜

You are probably right but you cant dispute the maths - it happened only a few seasons ago.

And for all Liverpools "proven goalscorers" as you put it they dropped 5 points in the last 3 games and lost the league.
