    What is the earliest a team has won the Premier League? Currently the mickey mousers can win it on the 4th of April if they keep winning(and the chasers keep winning)

    I see they put Man U to the sword this morning.

    I would like to see them lose one match please.

    Yeah, I hope they drop a game too. Ideally arsenal somehow steal a win for maximum poetic value, although that's a long shot. I suspect it will depend on how they do in Europe. If they drop out early then all their energy will go on an unbeaten season, but I think Klopp would prioritise Europe over the unbeaten season, especially if they've already won it.

      Gah!!! I can easily see them doing the treble.

        @Hooroo earliest is with 5 games to spare Man City 2017-18, Man Utd 1907-08 and 2000-01 and Everton 1984-85.

        To beat the record City have to win the title against Man City on 5th April - Tasty. Or earlier which is possible too.

              Two shots on target from a quarter of the possession leads to a two nil win. Great stuff.

                Liverpool still winning for fun.

                Are you Liverpool fans finally resigned to winning the Premiership yet? Or are you still being a bit weak in the head over it all?

                      Yeah Firmino scored just after I posted. This Liverpool team is incredible in its ability to win games despite being outplayed.

                        Nah we're golden. Even if City win out we have an enormous buffer

                        I expect us to drop games as other things become prioritised

                          Not so sure about that. Liverpool only has Man City and Chelsea left to play among teams in the current Top 8. They have a pretty soft run home from here.

                            So in this season of amazing feats, apparently Liverpool have become the thirteenth team to beat every other team in a single league season and achieved that earlier than any other team. The previous earliest by date record was held by Preston North End, back on Feb 9, 1889. LFC was founded in 1892.

                            We're now 19 points clear with a game in hand.

                              @antipodean no game in hand now, this morning was our catch up, everyone has played 24

                              If City completely reverse their form and win out, Liverpool need to win 8 of 14 to secure the title.

                                I do find the language used on the wendyball thread interesting. Lots of 'we', 'our', 'us' in reference to a team.

                                Not used at all in the rugby threads apart from the occasional use of 'we' when talking about the ABs.

                                Big cultural difference.

                                    I use we a lot when referring to the black caps and crusaders too. Pretty much any team I'm supporting.

                                      Same. Except for when the team is really bad, then it is always "they"

                                        I do find the language used on the wendyball thread interesting. Lots of 'we', 'our', 'us' in reference to a team.

                                        Not used at all in the rugby threads apart from the occasional use of 'we' when talking about the ABs.

                                        Big cultural difference.

                                        I see it all the time in rugby match threads. "We got tucked by the ref" etc etc.

                                        Nowhere near to the levels used when talking wendyball. Go through the Chiefs/Blues thread with plenty of talk from supporters of both sides and there isn't much of it. This thread has nearly every participant referring to a team as 'we'.

                                        It's not a big deal, I just find the cultural difference interesting. I used to work at a place full of soccer 'followers' who would spend their Mondays talking about how 'we beat you' which used to seem quite ridiculous on the surface of it. A bunch of kiwis about as far away from the clubs they follow in both geographical and cultural facets talking about 'we' and 'us' and 'you'

                                        I get that it's a culture thing I just commented on how I find it interesting.
