Pool and city both have to play us, and I’m pretty sure we have the best away record in the league, so I would say they have a harder run of games then us!
So we're winning the league
City have 2.
Us and United. But the United game hasn't been rescheduled yet. But its likely to be right at the end of the season so within their last 4 games they could play us at home and United away.
Could be huge.
I think if we beat Chelsea away and Woolwich at home, we will be there until the death. It suits us better to be the outside pretenders to the throne. If Kane and Alli come back fitter than they were were at the beginning of the season, and we manage to not pick up any other key injuries, I'll be quietly confident that we can go all the way. Arguably I'm more confident of our CL hopes. We can beat anyone over 2 legs, particularly this season. Never seen us win "uglier" than we've done so consistently this season. Bodes very well.
I'd tend to agree. The positive spin on it though would be, that the question mark over Poch teams for a while was whether they run out of steam at the business end of seasons. Thankfully that narrative has died down. So who's to say, it wouldn't benefit us to have a little midseason break to recharge, and theeeeeen we go again.
We're gonna need a massive run, how massive dependent on what the two others drop along the way, but massive no matter what. We can do that on pure adrenaline, confidence etc. even with the matches closely bunched if and when we go on that run.
"Top 6" was a thing before the season and in November. Now not so much. It's a top 3 and a sub-top 3, where one of them are in great shape, one in a bad place, and one in a terrible state of affairs. We have to play the latter two of those, plus the two we're trying to catch.
If you go beyond pedigree on paper, who would you honestly rather play this weekend? Burnley with the bus parked and every man scrapping for their PL lifes? Or the chavs with their chavy fans singing against their manager's tactics and booing their subs coming on? Or scum with our squad absolutely fired up to nail them to the wall after their it's like winning a trophy celebration following the reverse fixture?
In August it would have been no choice and Burnley hands down. Now not so much. We've got a set amount of games, and we can no question beat anyone on any given day. There's a lot more to the context of each type of fixture at this stage than six months ago.
Will it help them in the league? That would be then their only remaining hope of a trophy with no margin for error. Sounds like a lot of pressure to me.
In case anyone wants to prepare nice and early for a too nervy to watch end to the season, then these ostrich pillows are available for purchase
Has the added benefit of padding for slamming your head into whatever's close and handy, if we stumble at the last hurdle.
If you're like me, you're now also wondering what on earth the holes in the side are for. Here you go
You're welcome

Yeah, I agree. A confidence smashing experience like a heavy defeat to Bayern could cause more damage to their psyche than any benefit they'd get from longer recovery periods between games. The pressure on their league games would be huge.
Maybe their biggest benefit would be playing first at the weekends.
Less games, but yes, good point. It's all part of my 3 step plan for Liverpool (scroll down for the KEY step 4 which I missed, but

Never rated the dirty ugly cunt as a player either

It frightens me, why do I do it to myself.
There is no reason whatsoever why we shouldn’t be heavily involved up until the end of the season for arguably the highest honors on offer (domestically & European).
I’ll be honest and admit I never genuinely thought we’d be where we are, given the injuries & despair of winnable cup exits.
Yet we somehow find ourselves here, Kane & Dele returning imminently, having won games without them (ugly digging deep, as well as spectacularly mesmerizing German counterparts).
Liverpool wobbling a little, City blinded by their own self indulgent importance.
There is a steel to us I’ve never experienced in 38 years of following this beautiful Lillywhite entity.
An inner belief.
A Pochettino inspired mojo if you will.
Trips to City & Anfield loom large, if we get something out of these (and don’t mess up v the Southampton’s, or Palace’s) then why the hell not.
Dare to do.
Dare to sh*t myself to be honest.
Bring.
It.
On.
Given the choice of playing Woolwich, Chelsea or Burnley to be pretty sure of getting three points?
Burnley, one million times out of one million times.
How often must we go strolling into matches against the top six thinking we are invincible, before getting our arses handed to us?
