Basically what I've said in a previous post - its all about business and money talks especially where UEFA the FA and Sky TV and sponsors are involved. Surely the winners (regardless who it is) should be able to defend their title.

You just know that UEFA and even the FA want us to either win and get 4th spot or lose - but while writing this the bluenoses are one up against the Toon so we'll have to win and stir up a storm.

However I dont give a toss either way if we win the CL - that sweet feeling will easily last through one CL-less season....C'mon

May: Shut Up, Arsene by Gerry


I wasn’t the slightest bit surprised that those dickheads at the FA have done us no favours by deciding to stick with their rule of the top 4 PL teams going through to next years CL, even if Liverpool win this years competition. How embarrassing for them that an article on their website since last year has turned up stating that had Arsenal or Chelski won last seasons CL but finished outside the top 4 then they would be have been entered into this seasons competition and the fourth place team would be entered into the UEFA cup. Of course this article has now been removed from their website but the damage has been done and it shows them up for the bunch of corrupt, two faced ****** they truly are. Why don’t they just come out and say, “ In all circumstances our rules will be strictly adhered to, unless of course they happen to adversely affect the mancs, the Gooners or Chelski in which case they are subject to change”.

If we win the Champions League and finish outside the top 4, I’ve always felt our best chance of getting into next years competition lies with UEFA. When it comes to corruption and bending rules, UEFA makes the FA look like a bunch of choir boys. I’m sure if we were Champions they would find a way to squeeze us into next years competition even if it meant us going through the qualifying phase at the expense of some East European makeweight. The FA think everything revolves around the “Holy Trinity” but UEFA are all about money and Liverpool as Champions would be a big draw.

The moaning bitter ****** manager of the Gooners, Arsene ****** has also been sticking his nose into the subject and showing himself up for the dickhead we all know him to be. He says he agrees with the FA that the top 4 in the PL should qualify for next years competition and then he goes on to say that Liverpool are lucky to be in the competition. Why is that then Arsene, did we not finish in the top 4 last season? He then says that as the competition is called the Champions League, only the league champions should qualify. That being the case Arsene, if Liverpool win the Champions “League” aren’t they more entitled to be in the competition then your bunch of also-rans? We all know that if the Gooners were in our position then Arsene would soon change his tune and be screaming like the bitch that he is. Stick to pizza throwing Arsene and keep your ****** mouth shut because the way things are going its your lot who could well be struggling to get 4th next season.I hope Rafa pins Arsene’s comments up on the dressing room wall on Sunday it should help to fire the lads up.

I see Jose Mourinho got himself a nice new five year contract with Chelski. He will now be earning £7.5 million a year making him the top earning manager followed by whiskey nose on £6m, Ericson on £5.8m, ****** on £4.4m and our own Rafa is somewhere down the list on £2.4m. I know it’s still a lot of money but if we manage to win the CL, I hope the club give Rafa a new deal and show him he’s as valued by our club as his rivals are valued by their.

After watching yet another great CL performance in our semi-final win over Chelski its difficult to believe that we are 5th in the league and 33 points behind the leaders. We know we have the right manager but we don’t seem to have enough of the right players. I know we’ve had dreadful luck with injuries yet we’ve still managed to perform in Europe whereas some of our league form has been really dreadful. There’s not a lot coming out of the Academy either. Although some of them did well when given a chance, there was no one particularly outstanding and the performances of the reserves this season haven’t been inspiring. We badly need a clearing out of the deadwood and a lot of new blood brought in by Rafa in the Summer. Depending on who we get rid of, I reckon we could need at least six or seven good quality players brought in at LB, CB, RM, CM, LM plus another option upfront and maybe a new keeper, if we are to make a serious challenge in the Premiership next season.

The race for fourth seems a bit of a long shot for us now but if the Toon can do us a favour today and get a result against the blueshite then it could all open up for us again if we can beat the Gooners. The team have had a decent rest since the game on Tuesday so we should be at full strength and a result for the Toon today could inspire the lads to put on a winning performance against the Gooners and shut the mouth of their moaning manager.

great post mate, couldnt have put it better myself!!!!

Spain & Italy gets 4 places too.... If it wasn't for our uefa cup 2001 win, england will still have only 3 places.

Excellent point and one I hadn't realised 

It's actually a good sign when fellow Managers in the PREM start to crib about Liverpool FC, it shows they fear us and so they should.

Only the most pessimistic of LFC fans don't believe we will make a significant impact on next year's premiership season.

With a few new signings in the Summer, key players settling in and free from injury and Benitez at the helm..................... the futures bright , the futures RED
