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?
 
It's frustrating to think they we dropped points in the run only to Wolves and Stoke. Should be 21 from 21.

We are usually pretty strong in the second half of the season and hopefully Johnson, Yossi and Torres will return to push us over the line.
 
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.
 
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 might just have a chance of 3rd.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves!
 
One game at a time but the lads look to have bounced backed. We're much more confident now and that's showing in the points tally.
 
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

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.
 
There is a monetary difference, but we always have to strive for as high a position as possible; whether 3rd, 4th or 12th.

All that matters is the League; and the longer we keep talking about 4th, the more likely we'll view that as acceptable.

Half the posters here believe that already anyway.

That Stoke draw ruined me.

Should have had a penno (Lucas fouled).

Wasn't that the game in which Dirk hit the post in added time?

1st, 2nd and 3rd automatically qualify for the CL

4th has to play a 2 leg qualifier

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
 
For info CL money for 2008/9 was as follows:

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.

Well said mate.
 
We are like the reverse of Arsenal.

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.
