We are so inconsistent!

Ignoring the result though, we had quite a few positives last night.

A totally unexpected result

A clean sheet for Pepe

3 Scousers on the pitch (which would have been 5 had Kelly and Gerrard not been injured). One of them, Flanagan, played his debut and had belter of a game

Suarez is immense and I think he's going to make quite a mark on the premiership next season

Carroll scores his first goal and then gets another (Shame is wasn't Kop end)

Cracking atmosphere

Credit to the Man City fans for impeccably observing the minutes silence for the Hillsborough 96, Jan Fairclough and Mark Burgan

[Sandperson]

Three really top quality goals as well Anna.

['bout now]

Balotelli WTF

A disgrace to his profession.

[SCSB79]

I thought Kuyt was by far the best player on the pitch last night. He was all over the shop... thought they'd cloned him at one point!!

Would be interesting to see his stats for ground covered.

[Annasfield]

The thing for me was that we really played as a team. It was a pleasure to watch.

Great win for Liverpool.

Annasfield, interested to know if Liverpool fans want to catch Spurs and get a Europa League finish or rather Spurs caught City to claim the 4th Champions League spot?

If I were a Liverpool plan I guess I would just go with Spurs getting the 4th CL slot and therfore City the Europa. You would then avoid all those Sunday games that you get if you qualify for the Europa and City probably will probably not be able to get the top quality players who would only come if they were in the CL. It would then give a resurgent Liverpool a chance to concentrate on the league next year and even if winning the league is a step too far a much better chance of CL qualification.

[Annasfield]

Thats a tricky one for me and there are lots of factors to it.

1. In my opinon in Liverpool should always be in some form of European competition

2. We have to be in it. How else am I meant to chose my holiday destinations?

3. If we're not in it we can focus on getting back in to the top 4

4. If we're not in it my credit card balance will reduce considerably

If we don't get a European place this season, I would rather Man City go in to the Champions League over Spurs. All the Spurs fans I know have been insufferable this season. I don't have any Man City mates so it would be more bearable.

I think Spurs fans deserve to gloat a bit this season given how well they have done in CL and would prefer them rather than City to get CL spot.

Why on earth did Chelsea not start with Drogba up front? United fans in the pub were delighted he wasn't starting and worried as soon as he came on in the second half.

Remembering the 96 who lost their lives at Hillsborough 22 years ago. Rest in Peace.

I watched the video clip to see who you were refering to. I can understand liking someone's persona but how can you call a Spaniard, Liverpool through and through? He just got very emotional in difficult circumstances. The warmth shown to him was just as likely to have been shown to him by those who wanted him sacked as much as by those who didn't. I also wondered how that lady could bracket Heysel as being similar to Hillsboro' or Ibrox. Surely the situations were very different. I'm sure you will tell me where I'm wrong.

[neron]

You have watched the video and you didn't get it !

She is gone away for 3 months so she won't be on the pitch for a while.

hope the blues won't fire back to her as her generosity of handing the trophy to the loosers

is a grace. The trophy belongs to her I think she is a nice and good hearted girl.

She will not backfire to the forumitis becouse everyone seems to have a lot fun on this forum

and the West, and the North ,and the East, and She is away :(

Freedom and Happiness to everyone enjoy !

Got a feeling Liverpool will beat Arsenal this afternoon. Kenny has done a good job so far and I hope he gets offered it full time. Obviously the squad is a bit weak and suffer the occasional set back but with some strengthening and this return to the old Liverpool style of positive football, next season could be a good one.

After years of Beckham, Rooney and Ronaldo taunting opposition fans, football statesman Rio Ferdinand threw his toys out of the pram yesterday - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13108781.stm

As for Alex Ferguson commenting on Paul Scholes and Johnny Evans recent violent tackling (after the press conference tongue lashing he gave Jamie Carragher)... ermmmm... still silence

[Alan Medic]

You must have missed this then..........Ferguson on Scholes

and this, Ferguson on Evans.

Ferdinand lot his rag. Big deal. At least he cares which is more than can be said for some footballers.

Are you just anti Manchester Utd or do you sometimes debate football matters?

[Atticus]

'Carra' is a dirty player, he's also a good player. Likewise Scholes, M123, get over it.

[Alan Medic]

I wonder will Kenny D be charged with anything by the FA for telling Wenger to piss off on live television? Surely it's open season now given what happened with Rooney. Somehow though I don't think there will be any outcry regarding protecting the kids from foul language with this one. Nor should there be. I'd love to know what Wenger said.
