Your team v Crystal Palace

[dicko1969]

Thiago back in training on his own outside. I wonder how long it will be until we see him again.

Must be in 10 days or sooner.

Looked like only running etc

Nothing with the ball or contact football with the others.

Keita and Oxlade were playing with the others ... football.

As long as he comes back t-r-u-l-y ready I am happy to wait.

This squad is capable of getting a 4-point lead at the top of the League very soon, provided we remain consistent. From a 4-point lead you try to build up to a 7-point lead and so on.

If he was available, fit and ready for the Champion's League last-16 I would take that. Anything else is a bonus.

How the hell are we being made to play the 12:30pm game on Saturday given that we played on Wednesday, when other teams played on Tuesday?!?!?

As you can see with VAR, no one wants us to win the title again.

The 12.30s are always teams with a high profile following in Asia, that is why. Because it's saturday evening there. So that is us, man U, maybe Spurs because they have Son, the Asian TV audiences aren't going to watch west brom against fulham.

That's the reason some have given for this, however if that is indeed the sole/main reason, why haven't either Chelsea or Man City (and yes I know we can joke about their size, recent success, and how they 'achieved'/'bought' it) been selected for this time slot given they both played on Tuesday?

Some may say we should put on our tin hats, but as Miller just said, it seems as if various quarters are trying all they can to make sure we don't win the title again.

As part of Liverpool success
And also that all clubs signed up to the bt contract 2 years ago
12.30pm ko are down to the greed of the clubs signing up to such a deal.

At least there will be no difference in atmosphere with and without fans at 12.30 kick offs.
They are bloody awful . There's been a few ive
been at , 0-0's against Utd and one 0-0 against Everton that was the weekend of the Icelandic ash cloud and I couldn't get home . I ended up going to Edinburgh to get a flight home.

Dunno, could be swings and roundabouts, think theres a favourable break for us around new years.

I never looked at it that way before, makes total sense now. And as Dicko said, the greed of the clubs are a factor too.
