aye, 200 million quid to win the League Cup - you can't argue with that achievement.

And who knows, you may even win your first league title in FIFTY years this season.

Ah the joys of sportsmanship. When you have won as many trophies as Liverpool, Man U, Tottenham, Arsenal etc start gloating. If Ambrmovich walks Chelsea will go downhill faster than Franz Klammer on LSD!

I didn't even know who Steve Bennett was until you mentioned his name

Neither here nor there as refs are impartial and call it as they see it

Lets be honest Liverpool just weren't good enough

From leading 1-0 in the first minute to being down 1-3 takes some doing
If you don't take your chances your dead in the water

You'd be surprised to know that as a Liverpool fan that I don't agree.

In truth at 1-0 Liverpool were always fairly comfortable. Chelsea had a lot of possesion but didn't do fuck all with it and if it wasn't for a bad mistake from Gerrard then we would have seen it out and won 1-0.

Chelseas 2nd and 3rd goals were like the 1st poor defensively on our part although I always felt that once Chelsea got back into it then they would go on and win it.

I personally watched the game in a pub and most of the pub were supporting Liverpool. It seemed the concensus of opinion was that it would have been nice to see Liverpool hang on to the 1-0 so they could do to Chelsea what they have been doing to everybody else this season and that's bore the pants of one and all by playing defensive football with the "what we have we hold" attitude.

That said it is very effective and it is often the way sides win trophies particularly in the modern game.

I expect Chelsea to go and win the League and maybe the Champs Lge as well now.

i agree with eduardo. i'm a liverpool fan myself. i thought that over the whole game chelsea did deserve to win, but remember chelsea could'nt score against us in 90 mins, it took an own goal to take it to extra time.

Not so. Let's imagine a scenario where RA suddenly gets bored and sells the club.

The ground is owned by Chelsea Football Club and in such a way that whoever buys the club can't then sell the land on which the stadium lies. So that's safe.

While the club made a large operating loss last season (due almost entirely to transfer fees paid) the income generated from gate receipts, TV and merchandising covers about 80% of the wages of the current staff (playing,managerial and others). A few cuts might have to be made, but certainly not a wholesale clearance of players as had to be done at Leeds.

The contracts of the players and the management are still valid whoever owns the club. If RA left tomorrow, Mourinho would still be manager, Tery still Captain, and so on. The success on the pitch would continue.

The "ingredients" at Chelsea may have cost a lot, but it needed a great "chef" like Mourinho to make such a tasty dish. Liverpool were less fortunate in that the large amount of money they spent didn't bring the returns they were hoping for.

"But how to make Liverpool economically prosperous? If only there was some way for Liverpudlians to profit from going on and on about the past in a whiny voice."
