Liverpool 3 - 0 Newcastle!

Scorers: Maxi Rodrigues, Dirk Kuyt (penalty) and Luis Suárez

Good game. Maxi scored another goal (and early goal) under 10 minutes. Liverpool controlled the ball for another 10 minutes, then went silent up front and kept conceding corners (at least 6 corners in the first half).

In the second half, Liverpool picked it up again, then when we got the penalty Kuyt scored (his 12th goal this season) and gave us that breather. Shortly after that Suárez scored and secured our win. To make it better, it was a clean sheet!


Liverpool are now in 5th place on goal difference. Tottenham have a game in hand, however they have Man City after Blackpool then Liverpool (at Anfield).

Can we finish in 5th place? Possibly, but it's relying on Spurs to fail...and whenever we rely on other teams luck goes against us.




Woohoo! Arsenal beat Man U too!

Liverpool winning 3-0, getting 5th place (on g/d), Spurs drawing (and Chelsea gaining a point in the process) and Arsenal beating Man U. A good day to be a Liverpool fan!

Would have been better for us if Chelsea got all 3 pts and Spurs got 0 (closing Chelsea's gap on Man U and putting Spurs 1pt behind us) but we can't have it all. It would have been even better if it was Arsenal 4 pts behind Man U, and that may have been to case if Wenger learned to use the transfer window a bit better.

Arsenal beating Man U also brings United's g/d down by 1, making it easier for Chelsea to win the league by goal difference if it came to that. Still 3 games to go so anything can happen. And 4 games for Spurs...and 5 for City.
