Well I'm pleased with that result as it throws the title race wide open. Hard to call a favorite at this point between Chelsea/Liverpool/City. I just don't trust City for some reason. They make critical errors too often like Kompany today and I expect them to drop points once more in their remaining games. I think it will be between Chelsea and Liverpool. Normally I'd go with Mourinho in a big game situation which the likely title decider between Chelsea/Pool is, but unfortunately it's right between the CL games so I give Liverpool the edge. Should be an amazing finish to the season regardless.

I can't explain it.

Is it because people just tend to hate the best?

No, the way the club is and the way it is run. Like i said with Suarez, all the greats of the club "Suarez is done, he wont play for Liverpool again" after he bite Ivanovic. All said it, Arsenal bid for him in summer, Suarez comes out and says i want to leave. Nothing happens, he banned for 10 games. Comes back scores 1 goal and is god again xD
Everything is swept under the carpet at that club but when it concerns other clubs they dont let it drop. They got to Old Trafford every year and poke fun at the Munich air disaster EVERY YEAR, which was imo the worst thing to happen in football EVER and it had nothing to do with football being played it was just a freak accident of very very bad ending. Yet if anyone mentions Hillsbrough being Liverpools fault or more than just police fault they go CRAZY lol. They are very strange club which is almost like a religious cult the way the supporters are.
They were great in the 70s 80s then they were pretty bad since the 90s even with good players. But the way the club is it is hard for anyone but Liverpool fans to "like" them.

Torres situation too is another i could go on about but i don't want too. Also the way they labelled Drogba back in the days we played them all the time in Champions league for his diving yet they don't say shit about Suarez xD has to be pen everytime etc.

But yeah thats why =P

you also beat arsenal 6-0 so clearly you deserve to win

chelsea's top level against top competition has been amazing, (past 9 PL games vs top 7 competition has chelsea 8-1-0) their bottom level vs bottom competition has been sad. city has been inconsistent period, with fantastic and terrible games randomly appearing, liverpool is normally fantastic and terrible in the same match but have been more and more fantastic and less and less terrible as the season has progressed.

My point being that sure chelsea isn't looking like the best team they've had for the past decade, they terribly lack a striker, but whether you deserve to win the league is determined by whether you've played better than your opposition, not whether you've played perfect football period. If they win the league it's certainly deserved.

I'm not sure they do. Most neutrals in the tittle race are starting to love the way Liverpool are playing. Most of the hate comes from Pandemona.I guess Suarez figures high on the list of World Biggest Assholes. But he plays amazing football and that's all you want from a footballer.

Also Yanited supporters have a traditional rivalry with Liverpool and there's a lot of them about

A lot of it is how zealous and retarded a lot of the more vocal liverpool fans are, constantly going on about history blablabla, as though they have some divine right when they have been a joke of a team for a while until this year
Definitely the most delusional fans of any club in the country

My impression is 1:
man united fans, I mean liverpool fans have basically been returning 20 years of shitflinging through this season, so it's understandable, there's a rivalry and stuff so that's fair enough
2: I don't understand any of the rest, I hadn't heard pande's criticisms and they sound pretty silly to me, if anything it seems like he hates them because they're the opposite of chelsea (two awesome strikers mediocre rest of team).

My actual impression is that mostly every non-united/chelsea fan (and there aren't any city fans) cheers for liverpool in the title race. I actually used to dislike liverpool pretty hard during their penguin years, because they played the most god awfully boring football (and I'm Norwegian) and due to liverpool having such a huge supporter base in Norway, they always ended up showing liverpool matches in the CL, even if there was some epic Real Madrid vs Milan battle going on and Liverpool was playing an away match vs Galatasaray. But this season, Liverpool have been fantastically entertaining, and I also cheer for them because the only thing that can make United's season even worse is Liverpool going ahead and winning the title.

Don't even get me started on that ghost goal in the CL semi-final in 2005.

Well time to watch the game. Gogo Blueees

Do most fans in England really hate Liverpool? Most neutrals here are pulling for Liverpool just because Chelsea fans are fucking unbearable. Man City is 2nd favourite since they don't have any fans to bother anybody.

United/Liverpool fans are probably the worst in England, traditionally so annoying x.x. Although Chelsea have been catching up in that respect in recent years. If it wasn't for my appreciation of their attractive football and like of Steven Gerrard I doubt I'd be wanting Liverpool to win this season at all.

I think Chelsea will destroy Liverpool at Anfield.

Their defence and midfield are the best in PL, perhaps best in the world.
