Hands In The Bucket If We're Going To Win The League

[Chuck Fadanoid]

We've already won it, playing the 38 games is just a formality.

[ATXRED]

I think we can win it. I know we can challenge. If we get in Keane, I know we can win it.

[millomred]

If we can get Barry and Keane then my hands are in.

[Baldi]

Love to say yes, but if I am being honest this is the 1st season in a long time that I am not excited about. We need an exciting signing to lift the place.

[Yerma'satexan!]

yes!

[Yerma'satexan!]

In retort to the "No way we can win the league" thread.

 

It's December and we're top of the league. If I'm honest, it's probably may favourite position to be in in a league table. Bounce.

[JohnnyH]

Hands up my arse.

 

No change for me.

[aws]

One hand in. The hand with the scars from previously burnt fingers wisely stays out.

 

one hand and one finger in now

[Hooch]

My hands are so far away from the bucket, I can't see the damn thing.

[El Rojo]

Despite our wretched form at the moment, I think it's still our best chance in years to win, and maybe our best chance for the forseeable future too.

 

If we're still on top at the end of the month with a fit Torres and an in-form Gerrard, our momentum might pick up again.

 

Chelsea - Clearly rattled with their home record now in tatters. Can see things getting worse for them in the coming months as they haven't had many difficult away fixtures yet. And with a squad containing inflated egos like Terry, Lampard, Ashley Cole, Deco, Ballack, Drogba and Anelka, it's difficult to see a harmonious dressing room if they drop more points.

 

United - Psychologically, it was always going to be difficult for them to repeat the successes of last season but the chance of equalling 18 titles could focus their minds after Christmas. If our title challenge is to continue, chances are they'll be our main competitors.

 

Arsenal - They'll lose another 4/5 matches this season. Fourth.

[liverbobs]

Heart says yes, head says no, so I'll stick me arse in the bucket!

[AngryOfTuebrook]

If we can clean the bucket after Liverbobs' arse, then I'll stick my hand in.

[halewood pete]

yes.best start for years,we all know we should have had more points at this stage,but we are looking down at the rest at the moment,a good place to be.

[dalglish2rush]

im in...i still believe well win it

[redrosetints]

One hand in, I lost the other in previous, 'thought we'd do it' accidents in 96, 97 and 02.

[Elmyn Noos]

No change from me - I think we'll do it. We always seem to be able to put a good run together after bellyful of Christmas pud.

 

Last time I checked we were top of the league, playing badly. I'll take that, thanks. You don't have to have the biggest squad, or the most money, or even play the prettiest football. You have to be top of the league. And that's we're at.

 

What's to complain about? Believe it mother fuckers.

[redrosetints]

I've dived in, headfirst...........

[Spy Bee]

I would have taken

 

P GD PTS

1 Liverpool 20 22 45

2 Chelsea 20 31 42

3 Man Utd 17 18 35

4 Arsenal 20 10 35

5 Aston Villa 19 10 35

6 Everton 20 2 32

 

At the beginning of the season fo sho.

[Section_31]

Starting to get a bit more confident about it but I still think the odds are against us due to our lack of experience with title run ins, we're usually well out of the picture by now - which is a feat in itself. Everything depends on our ability to hold our nerve.

[Elmyn Noos]

...and here we are nearly one month on and I still have both hands in the bucket. Lordy. Here we are, top at the end of 2008, and all without our talismanic no.9.

 

Who'd have thought it? Well, me, and a good few others who don't write us off after every home draw.

 

Keep the faith kids. Santa is a red. Baby Jesus was a red. Allah herself is a fucking red. Hell, even the one true good lord almighty himself, Satan, is red to the core.

 

For the love of the antichrist, the title is ours this season.

[Ted]

Thumb, well and truly, in.

*let out excited, girly yelp*

 

*tell myself to calm down*

etc. etc.

[ratcatcher]

Believe!

[PaulMcC]

I'm not diving in yet.

 

Rafa and the players have brilliant to get us top at this stage though.

We need to come away from the Theatre of Screams with a result.
