Was really chuffed with the result and I love our current form and we are good to watch and the team are gelling together nicely...even JA is doing well...the future is bright and happy days...long may it continue.

If anyone has a spare £1 try it on Rafa to NUFC this summer, my £1 is bet.

You really think Rafa would go to a club like them??

He is desperate to come back to the UK and I cannot see many options however it does go against everything he hates in a club hierarchy.

Paul Joyce - Liverpool will announce a first profit in seven years when their accounts are released on Monday.

Indeed.

Now I am no accountant but I can do basic sums. Not sure how you can make £0.9m profit whilst having £57m debts. Still good positive news after 7 years and looks like FSG is taking the club in the right direction!

Because you don't know the difference between your balance sheet (where you show your assets and debts) and your profit and loss, where you show revenus and costs. An increase in debt will add to the interest cost in your p&l but provide revenue exceeds costs = a profit.

Shout if you have any questions

Thanks for Accountancy 101. Hicks and Gillette could have done with you!

My question is this a better side than last year?

Not sure the attack is yet up to the dizzy heights but then i think that was a source of defensive trouble for us.

No question we are a harder team to beat and are defending at last like a top 4 side.

I think in away this side is more balanced that last season, and has more potential to evolve I really hope into something special.

Allen was outstanding at the weekend, I not been his biggest fan, but he finally did what i thought he could do, knitted defence and attack, feeding the attacking players with quick passes to get opposition defences on the back foot & high tempo pressing. he also gave a decent amount of protection to the defence.

the biggest question will be how DS fits back into this side?

[hornetrider]

Do you mean SG? If you do, I agree with you it's a big question. I'd be using him as an impact sub tbh, coming on further forward without any defensive responsibilities. I wonder whether Bren will at least move him forward.

[Pommygranite]

I think that even if we finish top 4 that without silverware and that expected European run some will still label it a poor season.

For me that is easy. You simply move Sterling out (possibly replacing Lallana) and Sturridge resumes his striking role. For me, Sterling is simply not cut out to be an out-and-out striker and our attack always feels a bit blunt with him up front.

I don't think so, getting top 4 and nothing else will be nirvana for us all as we are rebuilding and at the start of the season we had a glimpse of what being a Spurs fan must be like - not nice.

What will be hard to stomach will be getting top 4 and Bren fks up Europe again because if he does whats the point ? (I don't expect to win the CL but getting past the group stages should be a given)

BR really rates Carvalho, so he's prepared to let a couple go to an interested club, that's all. Could be bks.

I dont think there is any secret he will shift a few on this summer - I would place a bet none of the 1st team leave though.

Oh I forgot to add I was told it in an Irish bar from a completely rat-arsed Liverpool supporting paddy before the final yesterday.

It has to be true.

Wasn't me

I know this is in jest but;
They are having a great season - 2nd in the league 8 points behind Bayern - be good for that league if someone else actually won
