It's crazy as you need to assess each game individually to appreciate how unpredictable the last game of the season truly is. It's like waking up from a crazy party where lots of shit went down and you try to comprehend it whilst focusing on your mates (Liverpool) but start to hear stories of what went on. So your enemies (Man Utd) drew 5-5 in a game with the Steve Clarke's WBA, Lukaku scored a hatrick. Then we have the low lifes of the party, nobody seems to care about the QPRs, Readings and Wigans as there all going home with no lady, but if you look closer it's interesting. QPR are comparable to the girl who never puts out at a party, she fails to deliver on any stage and they did that today at Anfield. Wigan who are everyones favourite loser at the party, they somehow manage to do it every year but run out a big loser this season. As we move closer up we see Reading got a hammering off West Ham and the chicken dancer Kevin Nolan grabbed a hatrick, it's as if he's the only one of the dance floor at the party, pissed up doing the chicken dance to get the party started and for Fat Sam to sign a new contract. We have Fulham the team that are full of mediocrity, they attend the party smartly dressed but deep down are a failure, they know they can't live up to the big boys until they demolished everyone's circlejerk team Swansea 3-0. The loud mouths of the party and bruisers looking for fights are Stoke City, they're hated by everyone and nobody likes them, even pigs head detest them! Well they ran out in a 1-1 draw with Pochetti's Southampton. As we move upstairs to the bedroom this is where the climax is held, Arsenal going hard in one room trying to bust a nut whilst Spurs are helpless as they wait for the one man show to attend, he's late, Gareth missed the party time and arrives 80 minutes later for Spurs to give it a go. They run out winners to a 10 man crazy man managed team, Sunderland. Di Canio is the fiesty drunk, the one that makes you think one more line of coke off a strippers tit and he's going to implode and fight the pigs head. Arsenal are content with their actions in the bedroom, they know, we know that they're satisfied with their performance. It's as if the Arsene is too stingy to purchase sexual toys to make them more attractive. As the party draws to a close we have Chelsea man managed by that guy. That guy is loved by Liverpool, they act as a destroyed lover who left at the wrong time and still remains loved by the Reds. Well Rafa is a villain to everyone in the stadium including the visiting blue side, he bowed out a gentlemen and a winner.

I've just spent the last 9 hours reading critical text and thought I'd write this out of sheer boredom, it most likely won't get read or make sense but you'll catch my drift.

Goodbye & thank you Rafa. You've given us more than we ever had a right to expect from you and you stayed loyal and fought for us even when some of our own turned on you. I truly hope that you find somewhere with the support that you deserve & win everything in sight.

One thing does need to be said: in the post-Benitez era, there was media-led clamour (but also some politicking going on at the club) to make the club more English; the idea being that the club had lost the very essence of what it means to be ‘Liverpool’. Guillem Ballague 18/11/10

Feels wrong, though, to talk about Carra being a legend and than say Owen is one.

Well that went well. :D

There is times you take a step back and look at things as a football fan first and foremost. He gave me many joyous days as I was growing up. To hell with it when I was playing in the playground I was picking to be Owen. Now he's retired will pay homage because the last 5-6 years I have grown to dislike him a lot.

Terrible defending in our game. We were 5-2 up with 10 minutes to go. If we had held out for a few more minutes at that scoreline, Adnan Januzaj (very good player from our reserves) would have come on, but instead we conceded two more goals very quickly, used our last sub on Rio and conceded the fifth. Ah well.

Lukaku should be some player for Chelsea if they use him, and will be interesting to see what happens with Bale.

Sentiment got in the way. Scholes' legs have well and truly gone, we got over-run by Swansea last week when he played and yesterday when he came on it all went down-hill, not that the result mattered to be honest. Scholesy was just hanging around up front trying to bow out with a goal, leaving the midfield horribly exposed. Add that to make-shift fullbacks in Valencia/Buttner and the fact WBA scored their 3rd and 4th whilst Evans was limping and it was absolute chaos :D Would have been annoyed to lose but in the end, it was just a privilege being there to see a game like that and wave Fergie farewell. Credit to WBA fans for the reception they gave Fergie and Scholes.

Here you go:

Points difference between first 19 games and second 19 games:

Liverpool +11
Reading +8
Arsenal +7
Southampton +7
Spurs +6
Wigan +6
QPR+5
Villa +5
Fulham +1
Newcastle +1
Man City 0
West Ham 0
Chelsea -1
Everton -3
Man Utd -3
Swansea -4
Sunderland -5
Norwich -6
Stoke -14
West Brom -17

Those first five games just killed us.

Yep post January couple of occasions when we were 5-7 points behind 4th golden chance and we would slip up whenever we were close.

Then with our season pretty much over no surprise we went  unbeaten in our last 8 games without the added pressure of chasing 4th.

That's a very simplistic way of looking at it no?

Could be that Sturridge and Coutinho needed more than, you know, a couple of games to even slightly bed in?
