Oh... liverpool lost.... out of 9 games and you lose 4 games.... how to be champions.
The premier league this season is damn competitive. No more the Big 4 teams. All the big 4 teams have lost. Only United lost once and drew once. Chelsea and Arsenal have each lost twice. And Liverpool lost 4 times.
Lets not forget Villa, Spurs and City. These 3 teams definitely have to resources and abilities to give the big 4 a fight.
I would say that if any of the big 4 looks like dropping out, its gonna be liverpool.. Its seems that liverpool is nothing without gerrard and torres, no youth, no capable players to replace them, nothing, absolutely nothing.
Liverpool is already 7 points adrift man utd, they really need to buck up. And if lyon wins them, then its really look like they are going out of the CL as well.
This season is damn competitive with Arsenal, Man utd, Chelsea, Spurs, and City all capable of winning the league and with villa and pool pushing for the CL places as well.
To be fair, I thought this match was a tricky one among the top 4... I expected Arsenal to win easily and they did... I expected United and Chelsea to win with some difficulities but was surprise with the Chelsea lost... Bolton gave United a fright towards the last 15 mins too...
champions? now to finish top 4 is even more difficult, with spurs, villa and city coming strongly.

LOL..... the boy in the blue Adidas shirt!
He had better go and get a whole team of bodyguards. Pronto.
hard to find out which end he supports
I just saw the goal highlights... I can't believed it when I like kind of see Johnson kicking the beach ball instead of the actual match ball away... Did i saw wrongly?
I don't understand how come no one kick the ball away in the first place and left it there right in front of Reina? Why Reina didn't do anything about it before the start or even after the start? weird...
I guess it must be one of the most unusual goal I have ever seen... Tough luck. Losing by this type of goal is really very hard to take...
I guess Rafa's time is coming... Even his luck is running out...
Darren Bent sees his shot go between Glen Johnson and Pepe Reina
take a look at the youtube comments, so many different languages.. hahaha truly worldwide audience.
there was another team who conceded a freak goal because of balloons also, i think it was man city.
This season, spurs , villa and man city are looking strong.
Even the team I thought will struggle, Arsenal is doing better than expected.
If Liverpool is out of CL and cannot qualify for CL next season, then I guess can save money switching to the red tube.
Unless some rich man buy over Liverpool and is a supporter of Ah Ben by Jan 2010, Ah Ben have to start looking for a club next season.
The beach ball seems to be from a Liverpool fan.
Dun blame the ball.
Originally posted by Medicated Oil:There is only one conclusion after this match.
Sack Ah Ben.
Five seasons of tinkering.
No youth players to show.
No improvement and depth.
Losing to Sunderland ????
and he cannot complain of no money to buy quality players.. yes, liverpool may not have the best players on the bench, but however today, we can see that even voronin can contribute to the game and making the attack more fluent...n y the hell did rafa start jay spearing and lucas together?lucas is alrdy inept at initiating attacks, spearing is intimidated by the opposing team's player and being run ragged by jones and bent...n rafa's subs is again very very very late....

n sad to say, we all can see the wenger's charges played with conviction and they know wat's the overall plan for the team...but for rafa's players, they didn't know wat to do, they couldn't even hold possession and transform it into a meaningful attack....wth is rafa doing?

if liverpool is out of CL and cannot qualify for CL, liverpool may very well be crushed under its enormous debts and be on its way to become the new Leeds United..
what's e stir with balloons?
nothing to do with that particular ball or balloon you call it
Liverpool got too much debts and the F6 group is not interested to share control with Hicks.
If Liverpool do not qualify for champion league this and next season, the club have to file for bankrupt liao.
So, things are not looking bright at all.
nvm la.. liverpool got so many history lecturer
surly then can fork out the money to buy 1 red piece of poo

well.. reina was distracted by it....plus johnson cocked eye, kicked the balloon away instead of the ball...
The beach ball deflected the soccer ball to the left of Reina.
Even without the beach ball, sunderland was bombing Liverpool goal mouth.
Liverpool fans will be furious with Ah Ben when he lose to Lyon at Anfield next week.
Ah Ben biggest nemesis = himself.

lol...u shud actually say Ah ben biggest foes: his ego, inflexibility and stubborn character...
Liverpool won't go bankrupt even if they don't qualify for the CL cos they are a big club with lots of potential marketing wise, so there will always be someone interested to invest in them...
On a side note, this was the boy that launch that Pool ball onto the pitch...
He looked so happy there having fun at the match... But I guess he must be regretting what he did now... And when the goal went in, I think those around him must be giving him the look of "Oh boy you idiot what did you do! "
