another two dropped very late against Stoke, could have been 19. We're grinding out good results now. Why did we play like such cunts at the start if the season?
Same old, same old under Rafa's Liverpool - Great run in the league ruined by horrible month or two at some point, leaving us with all the 'what if's' in May

Because after 6 years our manager hasn't assembled a good enough squad.
Plus we haven't had to many tough away games in the last 7 games.

Spurs, Villa and Everton were ALL f$%!ing tough, regardless of where they were played. And we won them all.
i feel pleased when the other team has to suffer defeat. but the points are just empty and hollow. its not good enough to get us back into fourth, and yet its not quite low enough to get benitez fired. its nothing de nada

We're on a decent little run now (*does a little dance*).
If we can somehow get 6 points from our next two games then we migth just have a chance of 3rd.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves!

no difference between 3 & 4th. why bother?

Both were joking. Not sure if you are or not.
3rd place gets a higher % of CL money then 4th.

Didnt know that there any monetary difference. 3 or 4th qualifies for preliminary of CL.

New rules from start of this season mean top 3 qualify direct, 4th place has a tough qualifier.
CL TV ("Market" money is distributed on a position related basis. From the 2008/9 season (€):
Scum 18,781,000
Chelski 15,414,000
Arsenal 11 251 000
Liverpool 10,070,000
The sums paid to the clubs were again divided into two essentially equal parts:
- fixed sums based on participation and results;
[li] a participation premium of EUR 3 million for each of the 32 clubs;[/li]
[li] EUR 2.4 million (EUR 400,000 per match) for playing in the group phase regardless of the result;[/li]
[li] EUR 600,000 for each victory in the group matches;[/li]
[li] EUR 300,000 for each draw in the group;[/li]
[li] EUR 2.2 million for qualification for the first knockout round; [/li]
[li] EUR 2.5 million for qualification for the quarter-finals;[/li]
[li] EUR 3 million for qualification for the semi-finals ;[/li]
[li] EUR 4 million for the runners-up;[/li]
[li] EUR 7 million for the winners.[/li]
- variable amounts dependent on the value of the TV market of the associations represented in the Champions League.

How many seasons have been spent seeing the press and fans alike creaming over Arsenal's brilliant brand of football and their kids finally coming good, only to see them go tits up after Christmas? Every fucking time. While we go on a tremendous run and finish the season strongly, looking back at our seasonal, pre-Christmas shit spell with regret.
