I just don't know, I thought he rather hated us...

JOSE: THIS COULD BE LIVERPOOL`S YEAR

Optimism about Liverpool's title chances are not just limited to the fans - former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho believes this could be their year.

Talking about the Premier League title race, Mourinho dismissed Arsenal's chances but talked up the prospects of Liverpool.

"I saw Arsenal. They have a good team but have a small group of experienced players. The second group is full of boys," Mourinho told The Sun.

"They have talent but maybe Arsenal are without the depth needed to win the title.

"Man United and Chelsea will be fighting but one day Liverpool are going to get that title. I think it might be this year."

Now Liverpool and Mr Mourinho have a strange relationship - well, we hate each other. Now this makes me sense a hint of sarcasm. Or maybe not, maybe he just misses us???
