Even without the past fortnight's results, nobody can deny that this season, Liverpool had a title challenge, something we had not done for many, many years, and something I have viewed as the target for Liverpool throughout those many, many years. This isn't really the season to be asking me this, I suppose. Next season is the crunch. Will we build on what we established, or will we just fall back into our old ways?
World Cup qualifiers:
Ireland claim a draw away to Italy, Northern Ireland continue their push for qualification with a win, England beat Ukraine thanks to John Terry, Poland beat San Marino 10-0 (ha!) and Bolivia beat Argentina 6-1 (double ha!). Australia 99% of the way to being the first team to formally qualify as well.
Back to the domestic action!

Seen the Argentina result, well gutted. Love the Argies. It's the high altitude (not wholey resdponsible but I'd say 50%). I seen Ecuador V Paraguay. The Paraguay coach had to sit on the bench with an oxygen mask. High altitude football on international level is an obvious unfair advantage to the sides who play on it, namely Bolivia & Ecuador. You only need to look at home & away results to see it. FIFA need to act.
England need to drop Gareth Barry & play Carrick. AND MY IRELAND WERE AWFUL AND STILL FRICKEN DREW AWAY TO THE WORLD CHAMPIONS.
Scotland & the Sectarian Ireland won.....Wales do not merit an entry.
Apart from Ballacks goal, Wales v Germany was a horrible game

*curses Liverpool to the skies*
Newcastle and Middlesbrough to join West Brom for the drop - looking increasingly likely.

Anything Liverpool can do Man Utd can do better it seems! This might sound woefully premature in six weeks time but that goal today may have been the crucial moment in this title race.
I'm not sure how to feel about it. On the one hand it meant Man Utd winning and their title hopes boosted once more, something that I can't feel 100% happy about. On the other hand it puts a little more daylight between us and Villa (much needed with the games we have to come) and it might have been worth it just for the look on Jamie Redknapp's face after the game.
Now for the European Cup first legs. We're going to be favourites against Villarreal most likely based on recent form, this rarely works out well for us in Europe

I still cannot talk properly after that goal. my voice is smurfed screaming so much. It was the most beautiful moment in football this season, especially running to his dad after and jumping up to him. My God...great stuff
So that's two ties in the balance after tonight anyway. Our result was decent but not amazing. I'm cautiously optimistic for the second leg but am worried how we will react if Villarreal go 1-0 up or make it 1-1 etc. Very much in the balance still.
Come on Arsenal (and Porto) next week!

any of you guys watch the scottish league?
cant be bothered reading thru to find out :P
got any opinions on whats happening with mcgregor and ferguson?
I've literally never seen a United side play as badly as they did in the first half. Couldn't pass for the life of them, particularly Scholes (!) and Park.
As for the Scots, they got what was coming to them. How old are they, again? 'cause I've seen more maturity from five year olds. Stupid idiots.

United got what they deserved, it was so frustrating to watch. What really annoys me is that 2 months ago, I am certain this result would not happen. Porto are a dangerous team, & I think we have no hope of going through now if we keep playing the way we do.
Str8 Pimpin'
McGregor and Ferguson were both utterly idiotic and deserve everything that's been thrown at them. You can't put up with that sort of lack of respect and I imagine Scotland will be better off without them.

Haha Bayern is getting completely torn to pieces.
I hate Bayern but it really does make me wonder: "what the hell is wrong with german international football?"
I presume you mean German club teams - the national side doesn't do that badly in recent years! Hamburg might yet win the UEFA Cup this year, but it just seems like Barcelona are in irresistible form tonight.
