Back to football matters for a moment, has anyone realised we've got a great run in to the end of the season?
We have no more games against the top 3, and play Arsenal and Chelsea at Anfield. The only potentially tough away game we've got left is against Newcastle, but optimistically I don't think that should be too difficult.
Compare that to Arsenal, who have still yet to play Man City and Tottenham, plus champions league fixtures. Same situation for Chelsea. Newcastle have to play City right at the end of the season as well, so I would say that we've definitely got the best run-in of the four teams realistically in line for fourth place.
That, combined with the fact that these teams are all playing each other at least twice, has actually got me feeling quite optimistic about sneaking in to a champions league spot!
