Great waking up this morning to news of the Liverpool loss this morning.
Seems you guys can only win on penalties.

Justice after they fielded such a rubbish team against Fulham a couple of weeks ago.

Totally sick to death of the top four PL teams winning all.

Well, Milan fielded a wholly second-string team in their last league game too! (and lost 2-3)

There're too much games in the English calendar for any team to realistically win the quadruple. Chelsea came very close to doing it especially with such a small team and for that they have to be respected.

PS: I'm no Chelsea fan BTW

the bottom line is that LFC are definitly back on the European map - 2 finals in 3 years!!!:D

This will be built on and gives total confidence for current investors/future players.:D

Doesn't 'Kaka' mean 'poo' in Spanish?

kaka means poo in most languages :D :D


your spot on with your assessment...
speaking to most non lfc fans today, most say we played better than milan, and were unlucky to loose... its funny, its the exact opposite to 2005.

it shows the huge strides made since 2005, where our team now can 'almost' match it with the best in football skill and not just passion and commitment.

i think this loss balances out the 2005 win... now that we've cleaned our 'karma' slate... its only onwards and upwards from here :)
 
Nine players were left out for the game against relegation-threatened Fulham.

In the league, sending out a weakened team affects other clubs – those fighting against relegation, those aiming for a European place and every club that loses money because their final position has been lowered as a result of one of their closest rivals getting three points in a game that didn’t matter to one of the ‘big’ clubs.

Hopefully with the new infusion of funds in the PL and new owners with deeper pockets we'll see a closer competition emerge.

They'll find it hard to match the free spending of Chelsea and Man U however the gap is bridgeable between the rest.

Enjoy it while you can Liverpool fans this era may be coming to an end.

You called it 'Era'. You called it 'Era'. You called it 'Era'.:D

Well recongnised..Rafa's appointment was the beginning of a new ERA of english success in Europe. Look how english teams have progressed in Europe since. AND LFC are the flag bearers.

Walk on...walk on......:)

The mighty whites have a massive game this Saturday - FA Cup Quarter final against the North England diving team (aka Manchester United). We're just one win from Wembley!

COYW!

I'm not so sure. We've beaten the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham, Newcastle and Man City at home this year. We also got Good away draws at Villa, Liverpool and we played Arsenal off the park at Emirates last week and clearly deserved all 3 points.

9th in the league with 1 or 2 games in hand (those are home games against strugglers Blackburn and Hull.

Watch this space!

Tottenham, Newcastle and Man City are a handful of points away from dropping out this year, and Arsenal have been a basket case for the past 3 months. ;)
Still, I hope your guys win, I can't stand Man U either. :)
 
lol, yeh, I think your dreamin dj (though definately a small chance), but Jersey, damn, that is a tip and a half! No chance I say, especially with Arteta out for the season!

My tip: Everton 4th in the league and FA Cup Winners

Big call. Villa haven't been great lately, but should improve now they don't have to worry about the UEFA Cup and FA Cup midweek. Arsenal also looked much improved away at West Brom last night with Bendtner finally coming good.

On top of that, the loss of Arteta is a big one. Everton's best chance for the run in is keeping Saha fit and on the park which will free Cahill to drop back to the midfield. Unfortunately Saha hasn't been fit for half a season straight since he knocked in 15 goals to Christmas in 03/04 for Fulham.

Yeh, all the power to you!

Hopefully for you guys, United rest some boys, CL coming up and all, maybe you will get to watch Nani that annoying little chirp, as opposed to Ronaldo!

Yeh agree with you dj on Jersey's comment. Saha will need to keep fit and fire for them to have any shot at 4th, and even then it's a far shot. Villa and Arsenal have VERY good teams. BTW, WTF is Bendtner doing on an Arsenal line-up? Golly gosh, that is as bad as them playing Senderos in the backs! Wenger is loosing his cookies a bit I think, sadly! :(

It is a big call especially with our current injury list. However we do have a relatively easy run home for the last 12 games. We play Villa and Chelsea away, if we get points there that will be great because we shouldn't lose to many others.
