Knock us off the top if you can!

HIGH 'N MIGHTY ... Jamie Carragher
JAMIE CARRAGHER has told Liverpool’s title rivals: Knock us off top spot — if you can!
The Kop idol was outstanding in Sunday’s win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Rafa Benitez’s men brought down the curtain on the Blues’ 86 league game unbeaten run and took a three-point lead in the championship.
And even though it has been 19 years since they last claimed the crown, Carragher insists this team can handle the pressure. He said: “People will be talking about us a bit more now because we are top of the league. “But we have to live with that. It’s a different kind of pressure but it’s what we are in it for and we have to cope with that.
“We haven’t had that pressure for a while now but if we want to be successful then we’ve got to cope. “Teams are going to want to knock us off there, we know that, but that’s part of the game.”
While the travelling fans at the Bridge celebrated as if they had won the title and not just the game, the players were more low key.
Amazing record
There is a good reason for that according to Carra — there is still a lot of work to be done. The centre-back said: “It was a great result for us as they have an amazing record at home. “It’s the first time I have ever won at Chelsea — and I have been going there for more than 12 years. “It’s always been a tough place to go to but I’m delighted that we are the team that has broken the record.
“Our reaction was not ecstatic — it was just a job done. We’re delighted with the position we are in, top after nine games. “But we should not get too carried away with it. “We are a massive, top club with a lot of great players, so we are only doing what we should be doing.”
But Carragher still has a stark warning for his team-mates. After all, they beat huge rivals Manchester United at Anfield earlier in the season and then followed it with a frustrating 0-0 draw at home to Stoke.
For that reason, Carra is already focusing on the challenge of Portsmouth tomorrow night before visiting Tottenham on Saturday. The 30-year-old admitted: “We are not getting carried away. Don’t get me wrong it was a good result. It’s something no other side has achieved in over four years, so it’s to be enjoyed, but we have to capitalise on it now.
“Not just live on the fact that we got a great result at Chelsea. “It was disappointing to draw with Stoke and there was a lot of talk at the time that we were getting complacent — but that kind of thing happens.
“We were very unlucky against Stoke. If we played that game again, nine times out of 10 we would win it. “But for most of the season now we have done quite well.
“We have got Portsmouth and then go to Spurs. “There’s a lot of stuff going on at both of those clubs at the moment and you never know how they are going to react. So the next two games are going to be very tough but we have got to go for maximum points.

At least Chelsea's record is broken by a top team, not by the likes of Hull or WBA.
When Champion's League comes into full swing, let's see whether Pool can maintain.

Yes, you are right on that. Forget about the damn CL, it's the League title cup that all Pool fans want to see Stevie lifting!
Though, on a personal note, I wish an english manager is the one winning it....

How's that? You're off the top now.

off the top, ousted by the bottom!
