Nor can I and nor the bookies, I note – 14/1 despite being same games, same points as Liverpool, who are 7/2. I know no team can depend on one player, but I wonder what might have happened had Ramsay stayed fit.
For the first time this season I think there's also a very realistic chance of Liverpool veing champions too. Back to back 3-0 away wins against top-10 teams is the kind of thing champions do.
If Liverpool (and the Arse too, I suppose) win today the title race has achieved a state of perfect poise:
best squad + most potential points + games in hand + stuttery form vs...
best manager + most points + most consistent vs...
best strike force + best current form + worst defence vs...
Can't be arsed reading that Milne piece. Read the turd they ran from Jonathan Steele a few days ago and that was quite enough tankie bullshit from the Guardian for one week.
Reasons to be cheerful (all supposition and hunches but not too far fetched)

There was quite a lot of talk of ultra-nationalist involvement on C4 News and, I think, BBC during the demos. They didn't go into great depth about who they were or how far they were influencing events, but their involvement was regularly mentioned.
There's been a fair bit of attention paid to far-right involvement, especially during the revolution itself. There's obviously issues around it and the far-right holding 6 (I think) ministries - but pretty clear the revolution had popular support. And the bottom line is Yanukovych brought out...
Thought the bits of this I managed to read in between pretending to work looked pretty interesting - and relatively optimistic.

Every deadline day is underwhelming for Brighton. Telling Palace to fuck off our players is about as much as we have to look forward to at the moment. Unless Wilson Palacios* rolls back the years to whenever he did whatever it was that made Tottenham sign him and Stoke pay £6m.
