I prefer the black kit to the yellow one tbh. They're both horrible though, but if that surprises anyone more fool them. Liverpool are notorious for having fucking horrible kits.

Of all the kits announced so far, Newcastle's away kit is the worst :lol

They've definitely had some bad ones but their home kit from 12/13 was pretty damn sexy I'd say.

Someone of Reddit's theory about how Liverpool are going to win the title:

Okay so here goes. All this season I've been telling my friends who don't follow football closely about how insane it would be if Liverpool managed to win the title (explaining the significance of it having not won the league for 24 years, the role of Gerrard, the strength of other opponents).

But, I've also been telling them about how worried I was that it was mirroring The Dark Knight Rises. Throughout this whole season I have had that image of Bane in my head where he's telling a crippled Bruce Wayne "There can be no true despair without hope". What if this whole title charge was our hope before the despair? So on Monday night, as you could imagine, I was sat feeling like Bruce Wayne watching Bane torture Gotham. It was a perfect metaphor of the stadium pitch crumbling. This was it. True despair.

But then as I awoke on Tuesday, I began to realise. Batman (Liverpool) at the end is staring down the barrel of Bane's (Despair) shotgun (1 game away), and he's saved...by Catwoman (Andy Carroll). This logic is flawless and so I am already making preparations for a 5pm title party. Come to think of it, maybe it should be a Batman themed one.

'The logic is flawless' - Well no, there's no logic to this theory at all as he's basing it off a work of fiction.

Each to their own. Looks like Dennis The Menace designed it if you ask me.

Lallana to Liverpool at £25m? I'd be worried based on a one season performance.

Liverpool's issue is not scoring goals or the creating of them it's stopping them at the other end. They should keep Agger IMO, and find a more vocal defensive partner with him. Don't have great belief in Mignolet as their keeper either. Reina will come back this summer and tbh, they should have given him another year.

Probably won't play to be honest. But it'd be nice for him if he managed to score. Tomorrow you're gonna witness a miracle anyhow. West Brom are gonna lose 11 - 0 and Norwich are gonna win 8 - 0 to stay up.
