Another 3 points for Liverpool. Is there a certain point threshold where they are pretty much automatically crowned champions or does it depend on the number of games opponents have left to make up the games?

I think I'm starting to relax around 97 points or so.

(Leicester can get to 96 by winning the rest of the games, I think)

Unbeaten in the PL since January 3rd 2019. But yea, injuries are starting to pile up a bit. Hopefully Keita's isn't too bad. Most of the others should be back soonish.

Also: with 19-1-0 Liverpool are now tied with ManCity 17/18 for most points after 20 matchdays. They will surpass that if they win the next game, as City drew their 21st.

28-1-0 previous 29 games now.. it's getting pretty ridiculous. Especially with how strong the league actually looks overall - PL teams are doing well in Europe, but besides Liverpool, they're all dropping games left and right..

Next one is vs Tottenham. Mou's going to spoil it I'm sure.

Yeah I back that point. I keep making it myself. I guess Southampton have got a few wins and moved out of trouble some what but no team looks bad this season in the Premier League. Norwich are bottom right now and let's not forget how many positive things have been said about Teemu Pukki and the team and how the stomped on Man City earlier this year. Maybe Newcastle, Villa, Watford are the weakest teams. Maybe even Bournemouth right now with their injury problems. But all have played great football at some point this season. So there are no easy games. I'm sure Liverpool will lose at some point and yes the league is so over. But what they are doing is incredible this doesn't happen in England.

I think for me the most impressive thing has been how consistently the back up and rotation has worked. They've had goalie injury, often 2 injured CBs, DM injured and all the time the backups have responded well. When the front trio hasn't been delivering, someone like Fabinho, Keita, Lallana, Henderson, Van Dijk or Origi has chipped in as necessary.

Some of it is definitely luck, but it's so consistent that there has to be a lot of good stuff happening on the background too.

The best part of Scouse run is there draw is vs Man Utd lol. Nutty.
.

Also the injuries have never been to the same key players at the same time. Allison went out injured and that is where their "fortunate" late goal wins were coming from and conceding goals spell etc, however Matip and Ox injuries are not they bad due to Gomez came back when Matip went injured and now Lovren is injured too so they are 1 away from disaster but still they should be fine.

Mane Salah and Firminho not injured yet this season, Fabinho injury has been bad for them but they have managed it well.

I will always say its luck because its scouse :D

So I think it's a safe bet to say Suarez's best days are behind him.

Its that time of year again, when Forest get destroyed by a top 6 EPL team in the cup, crushing our morale and derailing our promotion push.
Yay.

Well we lost deservedly but also could have drawn if we didn't have a goal and a penalty both ruled out by VAR for armpits offside.

The only game we have ever played under VAR and i gotta say I'm not a fan. Was a shit game from a Forest perspective though.

Im a bit baffled how it was a penalty in the first place though if im being honest. Looked a fair shoulder barge to me and just being stronger than the Forrest player, he also won the ball with his feet as well during the incident.

Yeah very embarrassing on Everton's part, i believe they have had more chances but haven't taken any of them and now are behind and do not look like scoring.
