In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I'm not surprised by that one bit, the shit I see my toffee mates getting from the red shite. It's the same as us, a league win for la'pool and we'll/they'll never hear the end of it.
The league has been won on GA/GD/GS on six occasions.
1923/24 Huddersfield Town GA. Finished level with Cardiff City on Points (and GD) - winning on GA by 1 goal effectively.
1949/50 Portsmouth GA. Beat Wolves on GA, but also by +9 GD.
1952/53 Arsenal GA. Beat Preston North End on GA, but also by +8 GD.
1964/65 Man United GA. Beat Leeds on GA, but also by +19 GD.
1988/89 Arsenal GS. Finished level with Liverpool on Points and GD. Won by +8 GS.
2011/12 Man City GD. Finished level with Man United. Win by +8 GD.
Sorry. Missed this part. In none of those did the runner-up score 100 goals (or an equivalent 38 game total).

Liverpool are on track (based on ytd) for 101 goals. In absolute terms, if they don't win the title, that would give them the best total for a non-winner since Spurs' 111 goals in a 42-game 1962/63.
Looking at gpg (38 game equivalent), it would be the best since Aston Villa's almost 116 goals in 1930/31. They actually scored 128 goals in 42 games.

If I had asked this forum at the start of the season where we would finish the majority would have answered 6th or 7th. We're 2nd. 2nd with two games left, joint on points with City who are ahead of us by 9 goal difference. Don't write us off. We never do things the easy way. This attack is more than capable of smashing a team. We've stuck 5 past Arsenal, 5 past Spurs, 6 past Cardiff, 4 past Everton and there's been many other scorelines like this. In each of these games except maybe Cardiff, there has been one thing in common. We've downed our tempo. We've gone into 2nd gear. If we score early and play the full 90 going for goals, then there's no reason we can't smash Palace and Newcastle. 
You know City will be scoring goals as well, don't you?
I do. I don't expect them to smash West Ham or Villa.

Pure desperation
Your only chance is City drawing against Villa or Wham. Won't happen though. The next year will be your year
As others have said, there's more of a chance of them bottling it then you overturning the goal difference
Come on now, stop with this.
Why not?
No way a Pulis team would concede a hateful. I could see Newcastle conceding 6-7 on a really bad day but it wont be enough.

Hasn't happened all season, and I can't see it happening now. Liverpool have been the same all season, going shit or bust for the first 45 and then tailing off in the second half. 58 goals in the first half of matches, compared to 38 in the second. If you take it to the first hour of matches it's 72 goals in that time. Liverpool have only scored 24 of their 96 goals in the final half hour.
As I said in the other thread, you've got more hope of City dropping points than you spanking both Crystal Pulis and Newcastle by a combined difference of 12+ goals.

Nurse.

Absolutely.
Lay off you cnuts.
In most games we haven't had to score late. We've been able to rest the 2nd half because we've been up so early.
I think I'd love for Liverpool to stick five past Palace on Monday, and then needing to win by eight goals against Newcastle on the final day, Stevie fecking Me misses a 95th minute penalty when 7-0 up.
That's the only way this season can get any better for us (considering our season ended in the Allianz a few weeks ago).

I'd honestly pay for that to happen.
You are getting carried away too far. Almost at Barney levels. Have few beers and lie down for a while.
I call that baloney, Barney. I posted a few months ago about Liverpool being a "first-half team". The evidence was there for all to see, but it's actually been even more apparent in recent weeks. I first noticed it in the Liverpool - United game at Anfield: your lot started at 100mph but couldn't run five yards not string a pass together in the second half. You were awfully lucky to claim all three points that day. It's happened a bunch of times since, too (most notably at home to City when you - again - benefited from luck with the late Kompany howler).
And because you're up so early, you won't have the legs to keep it going for 90 minutes.
Liverpool will also need to not concede goals, they haven't been so good at that part of the GD equation this season
Adrenaline will see them through.
How about Liverpool lose to Palace and City lose to Villa and Chelsea scoop it with a late winner from Torres?
Adrenaline won't see them through 180+ minutes of football.
And it's because United will be back!
I'm really enjoying this run in for once!
Tell you what though, this is probably Liverpool's best chance on taking the prem, if they blow this I can't see them near again for a while especially after Suarez buggers off.

And they called my vision far-fetched!
P.S I love your version too, Cal.
It's 90. Not 180. They'll have a week to rest in between the two.

best case scenario
'nicked' this from SMB:
hehe..
Stop being mental. No one can rely on adrenaline for 180 minutes of football, regardless of a week in between. They'll be fecked physically and mentally after one match if they're relying on adrenaline, and it's a hell of an injury risk to think that adrenaline can get them through another 90. Just accept that the best hope is City bottling it, and not Liverpool winning two games by a margin of 12+ goals.
Again, its not 180. Its maybe the last 20 in a game when you'll need it to carry you through.
It's the most likely, sure.
And they called my vision far-fetched!
P.S I love your version too, Cal.
I so hope Palace win on Monday so I can revert to cheering City's opposition.
Anybody who is confident City won't find a way to mess this up is living in dreamland. If any of the contenders have it in them, its this City side.
Last time we won the league we beat Palace 9-0. Just saying like.
Barney still trying to make the most of the remaining opportunity to try to wind us up.
i think barney knows what the best hope is but no harm in hoping for a deluge of goals too. Personally i don't see it. I think Suarez went off the boil and sturridge got a knock just at squeaky bum time. I hope barney is right though
Not at all. I'm remaining optimistic.
You were on the forum when you lost it to City on GD, people said similar things then. The difference is our attack is better equipped to smash a team than yours was then.
You're still being mental. Barely any team could cope with shit or bust football for two consecutive matches. The ones that can have much greater strength in depth than Liverpool.

Last time Liverpool won the league, Luton were a top-flight team. They're non-league now. The 9-0 also happened in September.
