If we don't win the title it's because we didn't win enough games

We had a great chance but were faced with some tough games - Chelsea at home and Palace away

Chelsea got what they deserved today - they earned those points - to say we "blew" suggests that we threw away the points which I believe is incorrect

Not one person expected us to be where we are now

It was down to Chelsea and City at the start of the season and we hate crashed it and gave ourselves a fantastic opportunity nd regardless of what happens now that experience will be invaluable to the players for next season and future seasons. Certainly can't see how any chances for next year can be written off before this season has even finished !


I agree you've over performed. And next season you'll helpfully build. But with three games to go and title in your hands it a blow up IMO. All the talk this week was about Chelsea's weak line up. Mourinho simply outplayed Rogers this week.

Re re your games left, Chelsea were a tough game, but if any title contender considers palace a tough game then their clearly not confident (no offence to place).

Re re all this talk of money, it's interesting to know that Liverpool have a net spend of 30m less than. UTD since prem began, so not all just about money.

liverpool dont excactly pay peanuts. id guess they are top 4 for wages.

With the amount Liverpool pay in wages they should have at least been qualifying for the Champions League.
Liverpool like to spend as much as any one Carroll/Downing/Henderson..... All Big money signings. They'd spend as much as City,Chelsea & Utd if they could.
But let's just pretend that LFC do everything the right way & all their players play for the love of the club.

Missed the game today and just saw the goals on the news there. Oh dear! Gerrard, what the hell happened there?

I'm completely neutral, I fell out of love with football a long time ago, mainly for the reasons well demonstrated in this thread.

That said, the race for the title this year has been interesting. I'd love Liverpool to win it, it feels like their time. I don't dislike the other clubs involved, and I've got a grudging respect for Jose, but from the outside Liverpool would be the peoples' champions:thup:

£101 mil last April 13 - expect that to have dropped this season and us to be down to 6th with the increase of Spurs wages.

What about the new contracts handed to Suarez and others?

Liverpool's wage-bill reflects the comparative lack of depth in their squad. Top players like Gerrard & Suarez will not be being paid much less at Anfield than they would be elsewhere,

If Liverpool want to seriously compete in the League & CL next season they'll have to make some big signings & their wage bill will obviously go up a lot.
Think I read that Chelsea have played about 12games more than Liverpool this season.

Why should we be qualifying for the CL with a wage bill lower than at least 4 clubs ?

No one is pretending anything

We spent a bit in the summer and it's helped us increase from 7th to hopefully 1st or 2nd - how much did you spend to currently stay where you are ? £109 mil ?

Carroll was £35 mil - Torres was £50 mil

Henderson was peanuts at £16 mil ,

You had a bench today valued at £97 mil

Pretty much more than our starting 11 !

When it comes to spending money nowhere gets anywhere near Chelsea and City both in fees and wages

We shaved off £25 mil from the wage bill this summer - with improved contracts for Suarez we would still have dropped the amount.

He made a mistake - gutted for him because he has had a wonderful season

where does this £109m come from? Is that a net spend?

Man City were 6/1 this morning so I had a wee punt.

The Everton game looks the big test for them. Everton to throw it to make sure their neighbours win F.A?

There is bound to be another turn though,not sure why but I feel that the Form Team that is the Toon could have a say on the last day,it's exactly the stupid sort of thing that team would do!

I really cannot see Chelsea having a chance and I do think that Man City will win all 3 to take the league on GD.
