If the Premier League was calculated on scores after 45 minutes, the Reds would have 72 points – one more than the real table. But it would put them an incredible seven points clear of Manchester City, 15 above Chelsea and 24 ahead of Arsenal.

I think the commentator mentioned last night that we've set a new scoring record in league history (not sure if just Premier League) - we've netted 4 or more goals in 11 games this season.
I think we've set a record in setting records.
I think we've set a record in setting records.
Not meaning to be a picky bastard for the sake of it but we have 88 goals, saw a stat earlier that we average 2.75 goals a game and if we keep that up for that last 6 games then that is the best strike rate for a top flight team since 1945.
So looking at that table if we score 104 goals that will keep it at 2.75ish.
Records are tumbling every week.

Brendan Rodgers:
Pesam placed 20 quid on a win for MU but it was draw. Did he lose or get his money back? I know nuts about betting.
[article=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11662/9243044/martin-tyler-liverpool-title-omens-and-common-premier-league-surnames]Before this season we have seen 18 teams put eight-game winning runs together within a single season – and 12 of those sides ended up winning the title. As you can see from Opta’s table below, 11 of those teams won nine straight Premier League games and seven of those sides went on to win the league.
Only six sides in Premier League history have won 10 consecutive games and five of them went on to win the Premier League. The only team to fail was – would you believe – Liverpool who went on a 10-game winning run in 2005/06 (and also went on a separate nine-game winning run), but finished third behind Chelsea.
Every team to have won 11 straight Premier League games has ended up winning the title, including Arsenal who boast the longest winning streak within a Premier League season of 13 matches in 2001/02. For Liverpool to break that record they would need to win all six of their remaining games – which would include wins over both Manchester City and Chelsea.

[article]Luis Suarez is now just one goal shy of 30 goals in a Premier League season and if he scores once more he would become just the sixth player to achieve that feat in a 38-game season.
The last player to do it was Robin van Persie, who scored 30 for Arsenal in 2011/12 and before that Cristiano Ronaldo scored 31 for Manchester United in 2007/08; Thierry Henry scored 30 for Arsenal in 2003/04; Kevin Phillips scored 30 for Sunderland in 1999/2000 and Alan Shearer scored 31 for Blackburn in 1995/96. As you can see the record for a 20-team Premier League season is 31 goals, a record held by both Shearer and Ronaldo.
In terms of goals per game, we asked Opta to look at players who have played in at least 10 Premier League games in a season and work out who had the best goals ratio. Under these criteria, Cristiano Ronaldo is not on top of the list as you suggest, even though he scored 31 goals in just 34 games in 2007/08 (a ratio of 0.93 goals per game). In fact, the best goals-per-game ratio in a completed season belongs to Papiss Cisse, who scored 13 goals in 14 games for Newcastle in 2011/12 – a ratio of 0.93.
However, Suarez is clearly on course to break this record. His 29 goals so far have come in just 27 games – that’s 1.07 goals per game. Even if he plays in all six of Liverpool’s remaining games, he’d need just two goals to break this record – and if he carries on at his current rate then he will finish the season with 35 goals to his name.

He also won January's PotM too,
It's only ESPN but it's pretty cool that every player of the month in 2014 has been a Liverpool striker
What's also interesting is that you can also click on the voting to see where the votes came from (USA or Europe) and for Suarez a higher % came from Europe, though the USA also voted him #1 above Messi it was a lot closer (as Messi is probably a more recognisable name or there are more Barca supporters over there).
Stevie's not going to catch liddel is he?
Rush's total is mad.
on a side note, who is Gordon Hogdson? Not a name you hear often when talking about lfc legends?
Stevie's total is top notch anyway, but extraordinary for a midfielder.
