if fulham win the EL then they will not be able to defend the trophy next season. the premier league stated a while back that if either liverpool or fulham won the EL they would not automatically qualify for next seasons competition, which in my mind is disgraceful.

Liverpool football club need to have some serious thought on the future if They are to get back amongst the european elite, At the moment They are some way off that position.

It won't have been the PL's decision, would it? It's down to the FA how they allocate the European qualification places.

Given that the FA will have played a strong part in getting Liverpool into the CL when they didn't qualify, it's ridiculous that they've gone against that principle a few years later.

Come on Li... Li... Li... Liverpool.

Ouch.

Based upon how this season has gone, Chelsea will lose today to Liverpool.

Then Man United will win at Sunderland.

United will draw at home against Stoke. Chelsea will be beating Wigan until injury time, but then concede an equaliser to make United champions.

I had a nasty dream (nightmare really) yesterday that Chelsea took a 2-0 lead against the scousers, only to draw 2-2.



Normally I get to watch most Chelsea games live as they are featured on Fox Soccer Channel quite a lot. But if Chelsea aren't on I watch on a dodgy feed from anywhere I can. But with today being a special day I'm not going to risk the the dropped feeds and am going to pay to watch an authorised feed on Fox Soccer Online. But knowing my luck the torrential rain and thunder/lightning storms will knock out my leccy.

It's nothing to do with either the PL or the FA.

The winners of the Europa League gain automatic entry to the group stages of the competition for the next season, it's also now the same for the Champions League.

Rafa's last game at Anfield today.

Come on Wednesday

Come on The Wednesday

Pretty much sums up why I don't read newspapers anymore. It's amazing that someone is paid to write this BS.

Where's that from?

Was going to watch the Wednesday-Palace game but I've had to turn it over. Does anyone else find Mark Bright's punditry horrendous?

Just realised you can have alternative commentary. Much better. Getting score updates from other games as well.

Its what I heard anyway, similar to the situation where if the Champions League winner finishes outside the CL places, they get in.

I'm not totally sure though. UEFA don't tend to make these things that clear.

Dirk Kuyt makes Nick Fozzard look like Usain Bolt.

Christmas come early...

I'm sure the Mancs will start with their suspicions after that




Can't believe how poor Chelsea have been, they've had absolutely no pace or energy in midfield without Essien. Probably the 'luckiest' or 'poorest' goal Chelsea will score this year and it could so happen to win them the title.

Stevie G's goodbye present to the Liverpool fans possibly? Ensure that Utd don't overtake them by giving Chelsea the helping hand they badly needed.

Good to see him finally showing a bit of creativity ahead of the World Cup.

He's terrible, there isn't anyone on terrestrial TV worth listening to when it comes to football commentary though.

Like most football supporters I don't need someone telling me what is happening on a football pitch (I can get my fix of ill-informed idiocy on here), oh for a "crowd noise only" option.

Ray Wilkins - **** off from Chelsea FC.

Ancellotti hasn't put a word of criticism towards refs this season. He's had a policy of never talking about reffing decisions against us and just accepting them.

But that was a blatant penalty, one which Wiley had absolutely no reason to deny and Ancellotti was clearly furious. Ancellotti's making his anger known for the ref and he's there pulling him back.

**** off Wilkins. Just **** off.

-----------------------

On the game.

We were utterly dreadful in a dreadful game. The only thing that meant I wasn't fuming over that was because it'd be far easier to win a end-of-season borefest than if we'd cranked up a couple of gears and Liverpool had done the same.

Thank you Steven Gerrard.







Wiley is a ****.

I'd have booked Kalou for the first incident, without doubt. I think there was contact, but it was a "I feel contact, I go down" rather than proper contact which takes down a player.

Wiley's a **** for not giving that pen. Lucas has gone across Kalou, clipped him and he's had the perfect view to see it. As mad as Ferguson will be over Gerrard's brain explosion, he'll be delighted with Wiley.

There actually is one for the Wednesday-Palace game. Need to press the red button then it's in the options.

Not on my crappy freeview unfortunately, it just takes me to Badminton Horse Trials!!

2 minutes left plus added time.

THE ROAR BEGINS

not surprisingly, looks like it'll kick off round Sheffield this evening.
