If anything, another GD title win would just prove how important it is to have sufficient firepower up front.

I hated the GD system and wished it was scrapped forever. It was disgusting, cruel and I could draw up as many points to prove it's wrong. But only until today.

If Liverpool lose on GD I'm too glad to rest my case.

Don't mean to be the voice of doom, but I reckon Norwich are a goner. Sunderland downright favourites to avoid the drop as things stand, with home games against Cardiff, West Brom and Swansea there for the taking.

Read on twitter that your fans apparently chanted "Liverpool Liverpool Liverpool" to counter Man Utd fans' "Going down going down" chants directed at your club's supporters at Old Trafford yesterday. Well done boys

They did do that. There were at least some Liverpool fans this week who have said they were impressed with how we played against them and hoped we would go on to stay up. Man United fans wouldn't do that, they are not gracious like that. Hence them chanting 'going down, going down, going down' at our fans when they were winning 4-0.

Even on head to head we would've won the title, so you have no case whatsoever.

Liverpool fans would definitely do that at anflied if they weren't in the hunt for anything.

Fair enough. We did well to win the title back last year, probably a bit too far to contest on GD... Guess i'll save that lot for another day. (thanks moyes)

Well played Chelsea; def throws it City's way but I can see Man City dropping points at Goodison next weekend.

Asked for an insight into his tactics for the match, Mourinho waved away the question, sarcastically replying: "You speak with Jamie Redknapp and he tells you everything about it. It was about winning - you have your pundits and Jamie Redknapp, who is a brilliant football brain, they can explain to you everything."

Hah, Mourinho's a legend. Gotta love him.

I can see Pool dropping points at Selhurst as well, their playing style is horrid to play against if you fail to get an early first goal.

Have Chelsea lost top any of the top 6 teams this season? I know of my head they have at least won 3 of their 4 games vs Pool/City.

So essentially Chelsea has done the business vs the better sides this season, but their defeats versus Sunderland & other teams of that ilk, is why they will not win the league & deep down despite all the mind games Mourinho plays with the media & fans - that will be his greatest disappointment.

Everton away, and they've done the league double over both us and Pool.
