Chelsea v bolton good result for UTD and Arsenal leaving United tops at least until the gunners play sunday. A bit early to say for sure but is the pressure starting to tell on chelski or are they just having a minor blip? Another 3 Home points lost for Liverpool . with Newcastle winning well another gap opening up there.

Should be fun tuning in to the radio sports phone-in shows to hear those scousers whinge.

How much longer Mr. Houllier ??

ZENER

Yet another team terrified by Fortress Anfield !!!!:D :rolleyes:

Well Chelsea have only themselves to blame set pieces have been our achilles heel all season and we should have buried all those chances before Bolton equalised.
Glen Johnson is showing signs of immaturity and also has a slight attitude problem was dropped after the win at Reading.
Mutu is playing well but hasn't scored in 9.
Duff superb in first half quiet in the second
Lamps is shattered was subbed today for the first time in god knows.
can't understand why Gallas was on bench, Dessa is old and was done for pace by Nolan.
Credit to Bolton though.


Soton were v comfortable today Liverpool has lots of possession but no cutting edge at all.

Liverpool had plenty of cutting edge it is just a shame it was left on the bench till the last 25 minutes. Pongolle and Le Tallec are good enough to play every damm game since they arrived. You loose a fast paced forward and you have a perfect replacement on the bench yet one chooses to leave him off for most the game. When he does come on along with le Tallec the whole game turns around.

I watched the whole game on canal zap and tbh southhampton fully deserved the win. How Houllier sees the game is beyond me, he praised the performance ffs anyone could see the performance was terrible bar when the two young lads came on.

Ah well, Leeds win tomorrow still only 3 points from 4th (wahey). Oh yes one of the best bits of the game has to be Jon Otsemobor, he played really really well. Each time he got the ball he shot up the field and was unlucky on a great solo run not to score.

yer that Liverpool youngster was very impressive. Soton were on top till they scored their 2nd before Liverpool woke up (helped indeed by the youngsters).

Chelsea shoulda had it in the bag after the first half (85% possesion or something) but credit to bolton they hung in there and managed a lucky goal. (lucky in that terry deflected it in and lucky that campo didnt have a fre kick given against him)

Man u looked good today with Scholes looking class (except for that nuts for the goal )

Arsenal vs B'Burn tomorrow. Might be a decent game that.

You would have to qusetion his decisions, it was only after bad press earlier on that he actually started to play an attacking formation with players in their best position and they got a few good results. Its time for someone with agood knowledge of Liverpool history and the english style game to take over and try and put liverpool FC where they belongas genuine Challengers instead of makeweights.

There will be no quick fix IMO as a lot of their players are simply not good enough but the sooner they start the better. This season is over for the pool as far as the title is concerned . I think now is the time to replace him so that the new manager will have a good idea by the summer who is good enough to stay and who goes.
He won,t have any pressure for a few months while he makes those decisions and could have Liverpool better prepared for the start of next season.

Heh I had a feeling that Chelsea would beat Bolton so I had a tenner on them Think it was about 11/1 Oh happy days

Villa 3 - 2 Wolves
Arsenal 1 - 0 Blackburn

Arse should have scored more but there were 2 big incidents for Blackburn in the game.

1. A Babbel disallowed goal in fairness I think it was the right decision but I wonder if it would have been given if it was at Ewood?
2. a corner for Rovers and Lehman fumbles and the ref thinks he's pushed, not at all he held back a Blackburn player should have been a penno.

jank

how about a peno for arsenal after a blackburn player pushes henry out of the way!

the ref was ****e and so too the linesman

could have been 4-0 but 3 points is all that matters at the end:D

guess whos top of the table?

jank, why do you treat every miniscule comment made against Arsenal like an assault on your mother?

James R
