You can stuff 4th up yer arse, We'll take the trophy



Well done to Arsenal for a cracking first half display that saw Liverpool go behind Arsenal by 2 goals. They outplayed Arsenal throughout the second half, a performance that made you wonder how a team can go from absolute magic (against chelski) to mediocre (arsenal first half) and then come up with a threatening display in the second half. Liverpool have done that all season.

Steven Gerrard scored from a freekick but Liverpool couldn't find another despite many shots on. Arsenal however,
sealed it with Fabregaz's goal, Arsenal's 3rd. Lord of Frodsham looked threatening at times too but only to spray his shots wide off target.

Now, what that means is, that Everton have secured 4th spot which would see them in the CL next year. It led to Moyes declaring his team the
best on merseyside

However, he did
speak in support of Liverpool getting a CL spot to defend the cup that they look set to get their hands on.

Meanwhile Liverpool's hopes of playing in the CL have been boosted thanks to UEFA President Lennart Johansson who
repeated his views of a couple of weeks ago when he stated that a way could be found for Liverpool to be allowed back into next season's tournament as holders, despite not qualifying through the Barclays Premiership.

Congratulations to Everton on finishing fourth and qualifying for next season's Champions League. Over the season the table doesn't lie and Everton deserve it.

If we beat Milan, then I would say that regardless of the FA/UEFA's decision, I'd certainly swap playing in it next year for winning it this. If we do win it, I expect the old "Best side in Europe? You're not even the best side in Liverpool," to echo John Lennon's comments on Ringo's drumming ability, but the fact is that it's trophies that matter - a fact that has been lost in the media frenzy over fourth place.

Everton may gain some kudos for finishing above the European champions (touch wood) but I'd just like to remind them that in 1980-81 we also finished fifth and won the European Cup - the team in fourth? Step forward West Bromwich Albion.

Whoa whoa Double D, as the great and fictional Captain Jack Aubrey, "Let's not count our chickens before they're in the basket." I mean it is AC Milan after all. It's not like your playing some American USL (third division, which would actually be your second division I guess) side. Don't get me wrong, I'll be watching the CL final and cheering for ya, but don't get cocky and tempt fate. She's a bitch, ya know.
