Liverpool have seriously f*cked up. 3 games to go, all in their hands. Only a draw against chelsea needed. They've completly blown it. In years to come, that gerrard slip will be the iconic moment of the title race. The second when the title slipped away from gerrard forever.

Liverpool will not get a better chance than this for........well I can't envisage they'll get a better chance.

You can have a title chase and build on it, or you can blow a title race and it wrecks you mentally. The Fat Waiter blew his chance and his team collapsed the season after. Ron Atkinson was racing to the title, the wheels fell off and he was sacked a few months into the next season.

I cannot see Liverpool building on this season at all now. If there is any truth in the Real Madrid bid for Suarez I'd expect him to want out just to get rid of the memory of the end of this season.

Nah, me neither.

At the start of this season, you felt it was a potential chance for an outsider to grab a title win with chelsea, man city and united all with new managers. You feel now that the likes of city and chelsea have more improvement in them for next season than liverpool. United of course will be back in there. Liverpool will have strengthen just to remain in the top 4 having to deal with the CL when they've had the luxury of no europe at all this season. It's gone for liverpool now. It could have been the start of something, but instead this title challenge will just be a footnote, like those random years newcastle or leeds launched title challenges.

I don't think he meant it seriously. I even said after the City game when I heard the goal difference would be +9 that there would be load of talk about Aldridge's last game for Liverpool where we battered Palace 9-0. Perry Suckling is not in goal, so that is enough to make me certain we WON'T score 9 tonight!

Just the wrong mentality though wasn't it? Once Palace scored their first, Liverpool should have shut up shop but at 2-3 they were still chasing goals.

Souness, the most sensible of the Liverpool media mafia, lambasted City for settling for 0-2 at Palace but tonight showed why that was the right thing to do.

How long has David Mellor been a Liverpool fan?

That's not David Mellor. It's the monster that ate David Mellor and assumed some of his characteristics.

There's about two "normal" looking dudes in there. The rest are extras straight from a horror film.
