I did a reply to this yesterday but my laptop was playing up so I could not post it. It seems to be working OK now so I will try again - what you put is with respect rubbish.
It was maybe the worst decision of the season by an official as it was so clear - 5 yards or more off. As I officiate myself I can often understand and sympathise with mistakes made but not this one - if I had got that wrong at the level I officiate at I would have felt embarrassed but for a PL assistant ref to do it was just shocking and for sure he would have been torn apart by the assessor afterwards.

Might even help attract a good signing towards the end of the window.

Taurus - I do not agree when you say if we do not win both the games this week we have no chance of top 4 - 4 points out of 6 would be a good return but 6 would be even better

I also think with JK in charge we can attract a decent level of signing whatever the results in the immediate future but those signings are more likely to be summer not January
It is hard not to look at the gap between us and the top - 9 points if we win at SFC and seeing as we play AFC shortly that could be down to 6 and it would only be January. Also we still have all the top teams to play at Anfield so you end up fantasising over how we could win the title but you are 100% right Kobashi to do so is getting way ahead of ourselves. I do think tho top 4 is within our capabilities but we could miss out on that too if we lose many more matches against sides we would not expect to lose to or fail to improve our home form. I think we have to try to do as well as possible and then look at it again about the start of March to see what a realistic aim would be. One problem is still being in all comps and with EL, Capital One Cup and FAC games to play our PL (which should be the priority) form may suffer
I do think there are going to be a lot more twists and turns in the title race - we are only half way through the season after all
