Hope we can beat Cardiff but we always seem to loose after a win against the top teams. Really need the 3pts to buffer the city game

Cole out of the arsenal game for attending the arsenal Christmas party
Chamakh versus Williamson is going to be an epic tussle! One for the ages.

I actually genuinely didn't realise till I looked at it but, Pool have won 8 lost 1 against the bottom half, won 2 drawn 3 and lost 2 against the top half. With the two top half teams being utd/spurs.
Liverpools season is somewhat make or break in the next 3 games isn't it. You've lost to Southampton, Arsenal, dropped points to Newcastle and Everton, you haven't beaten a genuine top 5 team yet. With City/Chelsea if you win them, it becomes pretty respectable top half table results, lose or draw both and you end up with a 20-30% win rate against the top half.
In fairness the Newcastle, Everton and Arsenal games were away and you have the upside of having a run of easier games to have form to take into the Chelsea/City games. City at home followed by Chelsea... I wouldn't put money on you winning against City, Chelsea would probably be easier to play first.
I think if Liverpool won both I'd put them with a very very good chance of winning the title, if liverpool lose both it probably puts City strongest going into the second half of the season for me. The ARsenal Chelsea game is important as well, for both of us I think. Arsenal lose another top game and like LIverpool we'll have such a poor record against the top 5-6 and you really don't win titles when you lose those key games.
City though, so far, beat Utd, Everton, Newcastle(though before they found their form again), Arsenal, Spurs, only a loss to Chelsea and the draw with Southampton that wasn't a win against the top half.
I really think City are going to be starting the new year at the top of the table, and not sure they will really lose their grip on it.

Arsenal and Liverpool will need new players in Jan, they have to buy or they'll start to drop points. I see Chelsea or Liverpool at the top of the table on 1st Jan.
Liverpool go to a Chelsea who are pretty bad this season and a City with no Aguero.
Our home form has sucked this season so I'm not sure United can beat West Ham.

Well with our confidence high and Suarez contract boost all while Cardiff are at a low they are there for the taking in theory, so hopefully we will get another win no doubt Suarez will score again. Countinho not to have a off day. Should be a good win tomorow

Setting ourselves up for a fall if we think it'll be an easy victory. I'm expecting the Cardiff players to put in the performances of their lives in support of Mackay if he's still there. If he's already been sacked then yeah, an easy victory
