I've got an unhealthy desire to see Liverpool lose the title race. I hate the club with a passion. But I keep looking at the table and thinking how much money we could gain from moving up the table. I will just have to avoid the internet and keep my fingers in my ears until it passes if Liverpool d...

For those who have watched Arsenal this season, they will hate playing us. We'll give City a game, but Arsenal won't want to face us either.

I never fully trust any police officer, the majority are probably decent My brother-in-law is a police officer (sergeant) and someone who I respect a hell of a lot is recently retired (Inspector) - one of the nicest chaps you'll ever meet and trust.

Not your typical yes man, professionally brutal and honest, refreshing to see. If you know anything about football as you do, you know he's spot on - but he'll never be popular. People who know naff all about football won't like him. Ever notice the extra seats in the studio? Have Sky ever had that...

McNeil and Charlie are the perfect pairing. Both as good as each other at crossing.

We always need players just in case. Lennon and JBG seem to be permanently out, so if McNeil took a knock and Brady was actually available, he'd be needed.

I've not watched much of it this season, I've seen Derby, Leeds and Norwich and haven't seen anything amazing. Norwich look decent going forward but will get torn to shreds in the PL if they continue playing that way. Leeds look like they played good football at the beginning part of the season but...

We were even favourites to go down (ahead of Middlesbrough and Brighton) when we won the league and went up as champions!

I'm just glad they knew to put the trophy at Burnley on the final day.

I don’t know how good Norwich are or how many players they need? But 20m with a European coach should go a lot further than an English one. They might pick 4 or 5 players up for that? You certainly need to keep the core of the squad together so bringing 10 plus in won't work. Also it's pretty late ...
