Being a life long Liverpool fan, there are many sweet memories that help me have a contented nights sleep!

Not only were they too pathetic to qualify but in fact they were so pathetic they let Everton beat them to 4th place!

And the result of the FA letting Everton (who hadn't qualified for a european competition for decades) play in the CL instead of being sensible and putting them in for the UEFA Cup where they might have had a chance was..........

Anyway we were too busy winning the CL last season.

What's your excuse this season? 12th huh? Nice.

You''ll be laughing all the way to the UEFA cup soon!

I'm laughing because it was a funny comeback.

That said, I would like it to come down to Stamford Bridge so we can knock you out.

I hope we don't need a result in that game.....

I'm hoping Anderlectht (sp) can get something out of you and Betis get a draw against us.

Then whatever happens at Stamford Bridge, if Betis beat Anderlecht, your out!!

[MikeH]

If Anderlecht get any points against us we deserve to be knocked out.

Wouldn't Betis need to win at Anfield and have Chelsea fail to beat Anderlecht for that to be true?

A couple of draws in the next round of matches still leaves Chelsea a point ahead of Betis with qualifying in their own hands.

[reds4ever]

Ah, yes. Anderlecht need to beat Chelsea. Shame Lampard got that lucky goal against them in the first tie!!

[MikeH]

That happens from time to time to win a game. (see last years semi-final)

[reds4ever]

Ah, so you admit it!! It was a goal!!

[FrustratedPoet]

It was either a goal, or a definite red-card for Cech and a penalty. I bet every Chelsea fan would have taken the option of conceding the goal and keeping 11 men on the field with 87 minutes left to play.
