I was tickled by the delicious notion that Arsenal could remain unbeaten in the Premiership AND STILL NOT WIN IT. Three wins and four draws in the remaining seven - Chelsea could pip them.

mm or attempted waving a leg or vaguely moving towards him, that would have been good too

I don't think that every failed penalty appeal should be a booking.
For this aggressive, active player to... 'collect' his first buiking of the season (!) in this way says that something went wrong.
I heard a fan (?) on R5 yesterday squalling about the heckling and banners that would force Houllier out. It was enough to make anyone back GH. It felt wrong, trés wrong.

That's awful though, the idea of booing the whole team from the start of a game.

Rednose Short Memory Syndrome in full effect. 1998-99, folks. Let's not forget 1998-99 (Christ, at one point heading into Xmas we only trailed you on goal diff - and this was in Walter Smith's shambolic first season when we couldn't score at Goodison!)
Whilst it's encouraging that Charlton, Newcastle and maybe even Villa can catch Liverpool now I refuse to believe any of those clubs can do it. I'm more concerned about the growing 34pt-club at the bottom and preventing Leeds' membership of it.

I predicted a Top 6 finish for Villa back in August. If they actually get one I will be really fucked off about not going down the bookies. But then again I predicted Fulham to finish secon from bottom...

I don't think they deserve Champions' League, though.

If they deserve to finish top six then they need to generate more points in the season than the team that finishes seventh. That's all it is.

Mikey, are you angling for a revival of the thread that dare not speak its name?

I think LUFC would make fine members of that stupid club. I wish the LUFC-EFC game this evening were to be televised. I wonder if 5 Live will give it proper coverage, or whether they'll focus on MUFC-LCFC tedium.
Fascinating fact for this evening: Eddie Gray's Leeds have an extremely good record when playing teams managed by Scots.

I think someone should come up with an equation. Where n = the number of fit birds per stadia and f = quality of the pies.

Also if you look at the league table, there's no guarantee of Liverpool getting into Europe AT ALL this year, I sincerely hope they do and think they should nick the Champions League spot but the teams are all very close, and the reality is that every time I have thought Liverpool are back on track this year they've messed up all over again.
