Yeah, it really is too much.

I propose we withdraw from the Premier League next season. European qualification will be secured by winning the Champions League. We obviously wouldn't be able to cope with that many games anyway.

The thing I have noticed it lately from pundits is that this is Liverpools best chance of a league. They might never be in this position again for 20 years etc etc etc. Now if liverpool had been no where near the title but finished strong and got third I'm sure these same pundits would be saying liverpool can push in from here sign top players and challenge in the next 2 or 3 years.

Your a comic genius fair play to you.

I wonder did he have that smirk as he watched his team implode and plummet to mid table with his chosen one at the helm. Yeah actually I'd say he was laughing his ass off with Liverpool top of the table in the final week of the season. Loves a good laugh our Alex.

Last nights result may not be all that bad with regards to the title (with regards to the game itself conceding 3 in the last 12 minutes was dreadful)

But we still needed City to drop points only we need them to lose instead of draw one of their games now assuming we beat Newcastle.

We were never going to make up a minimum of 11 goals in 2 games.

On this day: Michael Owen scores first Liverpool goal

Liverpool won the FA Youth Cup for the first time in the club's history in 1996, thanks largely to the goalscoring exploits of Michael Owen, who scored hat-tricks against Manchester United and Crystal Palace in the quarter-finals and semi-finals respectively, as well as finding the net during the final against West Ham United.

Such clinical instincts resulted in calls for the youngster to feature in the senior side during the following season, but with the Reds involved in the title race, manager Roy Evans for a long time opted for the experience of Robbie Fowler and Stan Collymore in attack.

However, following Manchester United's 3-3 draw with Middlesbrough, Liverpool were four points behind the leaders ahead of their trip to Wimbledon 17 years ago today and with a win vital, Evans named Owen among his substitutes.

The hosting Dons, in eighth, had little to play for, yet they seemingly flourished with the pressure off their shoulders.

They broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute through 20-year-old Jason Euell, who headed in Neal Ardley's cross at the back post, while Ardley was again the provider 10 minutes after the restart when his lofted pass from the right flank was turned in by Dean Holdsworth.

That goal prompted Evans to turn to a 17-year-old Owen, who replaced Patrik Berger. His pace caused numerous problems for the Wimbledon defence from the outset and it helped him to score his first goal 16 minutes from time. He latched on to Stig Inge Bjornebye's through pass, before showing composure beyond his tender years to beat Neil Sullivan with a low finish into the bottom corner of the net.

His memorable impact failed to spark a comeback from the Merseysiders, which ended their title charge in the process. Nevertheless, their supporters had seen a glimpse of a player that would go on to net 158 goals for the club before his departure to Real Madrid in 2004.

"He started making decent runs off the back of people and tried to get in behind them - he's a natural goalscorer. The time has come for him," said Evans of Owen after final whistle.

WIMBLEDON: Sullivan; Cunningham, McAllister, Perry, Kimble; Jones, Ardley, Gayle, Earle (Fear); Euell, Holdsworth

LIVERPOOL: James; Bjornebye, Wright, Kvarme, Ruddock; McAteer, Redknapp, Berger, Thomas, McManaman; Collymore

May I interject, we have a slim possibility of winning a league title, whereas your lot have two hopes, Bob Hope and no hope and one of those is dead.

Now leave and don't come back you rascal.

new longterm contract agreed with Brendan looks very close:)

good time to release some good news it seems

United fans' banter is shocking. They need their own Grayditch, Knex, Turdyturd, etc.

We're going to have to send over a few boys to their thread for next season.

Have you seen them play this season? They have no joy in their lives.

But it's ok cos next year(after they buy every player in Europe)will be their year.

They have also decided that Liverpool will not strengthen in the summer and will struggle next year.
