Well, Liverpool fans want Liverpool to qualify.

I'd say that most "neutrals" will want Liverpool to fail because it'll be funny to see Liverpool fail, just like lots of neutrals will want Chelsea to screw up the title challenge, or Chelsea to lose to Pompey in the final, or a "big" side to get relegated (like Newcastle and Leeds did) but it's not something that the PL particularly needs.



It's better if the gap closing between the top and the rest is because the rest are improving, not because the clubs at the top are in decline.



No one knows what is better for the PL. Citeh could get 4th spend another £250m on players and then end up mid-table next season. Same with Villa or Spurs, they could get 4th, try and spend to keep their position and be really poor next year.

Even if Liverpool scrape into 4th spot, they will have done so at the skin of their teeth and it'll barely be deserved. Rather than there being an actual "top 4" it would be a top 3, with 2 of the 3 genuine contenders and the other just hoping they can catch them. Then there's about 4 or 5 clubs chasing the 4th spot.

Thought you weren't going to read my post or reply?

good god there are some grade A buffoons on this thread.

Evidence of your bitterness gets stronger

How do you know when our owner is going to 'get his chequebook out'?

You can add City to that too. All three would struggle against an average CL team in late July / early August.

It will be as pathetic as Everton's attempts in CL. One of football's funnier stories.

I like the look of the home one but still undecided on the away shirt especially the white lightning bolt on the sleaves

The sending off of the Lyon player shows just why the Respect campaign isn't worth 5hit.

The Lyon player won the ball cleanly. The ref gives the free kick against him. The ref then books him for it. When being booked the player thrusts his hands together in anger at the ridiculous decision. The ref decides to give him a second yellow for that and sends him off.

The Respect campaign needs to be centred on the refs. They should be told that they'll get respect when they don't come up with decisions like tonight's. If they do, then they should be treated with the contempt they deserve.

Ruined the game in my opinion. Lyon had 45 minutes to rescue their Champions League, but as soon as he got the red their heads went down and... well Bayern are off to Madrid.

isn't that 3 softish sending offs they have benefited from in the last 3 rounds?

Typical Germans.
