Liverpool FC

Everyone who says Arsenal were robbed and that it was not a foul on Ryan Babel are forgetting one other thing about last night's game.

The final score was 4-2!, take away the penalty and its 3-2, Liverpool still go through, Arsenal still go out, so stop crying and shut up. Decisions go for and against everyone over the season, look at Liverpool v Chelsea on the opening day of the season, Chelsea were awarded a penalty for nothing.

If a penalty was not awarded, we still scored another goal after Ryan Babel chased down a clearance and fought off Fabregas (who was pictured pulling his shirt, this could have been a penalty aswell) to score past Almunia.

Stop the excuses, the best team won!

 Obviously this article was meant as light hearted banter, yet everyone is making out like this is the first time anyone has ever mocked the opposition after a game.

Arsenal Vs Liverpool

absloute crock of shit! The whole tie was decied on TWO decisions. you got the call and Arsneal didn't. Arsneal were the better team overall in fact but that may come over as sour grapes! Simple, you got the penalty and we didn't and ours was more clear cut! Forget the 4th goal as that can happen when a team has to chase the game. Bullshit decision and bullshit way to decide a great Euro tie. Absolute pile of .........

thats why you beat us both

thats why you beat us both times we visited the Emirates right? because you were so dominate in all three games. oh wait. im getting confused, you never beat us at the Emirates. sorry i get so confused.

were through to the next

were through to the next round and you're not. plus i dont remember u beating us the season you bell piece.

If everyone would watch the

If everyone would watch the foul again, Fabregas first pulls Babel's arm, taking him of balance. Then Toure comes across his shoulder knocking him back around (horribly clumsy challenge in itself). Fabregas fell to his knees and put his head down because he thought he had been called for the penalty. If Fabregas had not pulled his arm, which is a penalty in itself, I think Babel would have been able to stay on his feet, just as he did when Fabregas pulled his shirt on the 4th goal.
Arsenal did not score enough goals, that is why they were knocked out. Plain and simple.

liverpool v arsenal

i think what all arsenal fans a failling to understand is, is that it was not the penalty that changed the game it was the terrible defending for two goals by senderos.arsenal probably play the best football in the country,but,nice football does'nt always win you silverware.the pool march on because they play the type of football that gets the result.

sick gooners

get over it your out liverpool are master ov europe we just dont give up and never will its ok playin your good lookin football but it dosnt work in europe you gooners only play 1 way liverpool can play 4 or 5 ways and that works. and it was a pen i seen ste gerrard stick it away ha ha 5 times and figers crossed its 6 moscow Y.N.W.A

Forgetting what

You are forgetting my friend that there was a penalty on Hleb that was'nt given and if that was given you would have been out at 3-2 since Arsenal would have been on the away goals rule. As for scoring through Babel you are also forgetting that that would not have been scored had Arsenal players not poured forward in search of an equalizer. What goes around comes around my friend. I look forward to seeing you playing in a lower division one day....because that is where you lot of idiots are heading

tony's picture

In search of an equaliser?

why would Arsenal go for an equaliser at 2-2?

mug,

get off this site, you loser, like your team, in europe you are crap. you could,t even keep your lead in the league, you fell away like you allways do. you let the mancs take the prem. you and arse will be playing in the lower leagues, nice football no end prouduct take defeat like a man because you must be use to it by now...

re forgetting what

I tell you why hleb didn't get the penalty. That's why he fells to quickly and he's doing this kind of things regularly. Now shut up heal and go trash the manure crap on sunday. If you wish to watch us playing in a lower division we hope to c u there to beat the crap out of you like we did yesterday.

IT WAS A DEFINATE PENALTY

IVE WATCHED THE PENALTY INCIDENT MANY TIMES ON YOUTUBE AND I DONT KNOW WHAT THE FUSS IS ABOUT ? IT WAS A DEFINATE PENALTY TOURE PULLED AT BABEL , I MUST SAY ARSENALS WAS AS WELL BUT TOUGH, YOU CANNOT JUST BLAME THE DEFEAT ON THE PENALTY DECISIONS.

ARSENALS FINISHISHING WAS CRAP LIVERPOOLS WAS SUPEB, ARSENALS DEFENDING WAS CRAP LIVERPOOL WAS MEDIUM, IN THE FIRST LEG BRILLIANT IN THE SECOND
.
ARSENAL FANS NEED A REALITY CHECK , HALF YOUR TEAM PLAYED CRAP IN BOTH GAMES, AND SENDEROS IS A CLOWN WANDERING AROUND THE BACK FOUR LIKE IN SOME KIND OF DREAM WORLD.

WELL THE ONLY TEAM LEFT DREAMING NOW IS THE ONE WITH THE BOTTLE TO WIN THE GAME, I SUGEST YOU GO BACK TO YOU OWN WBSITE AND WALLOW IN SELF PITY.

WE WILL SEND YOU A POST CARD FROM MOSCOW, AFTER WE WIN THE CUP FOR A SIXTH TIME. BYE BYE ARSENAL.

russia here we come...

the old grandduke, of anfield rafa,has got a 11men he,ll take them to russia,and we,ll win the cup again...gooners,are goners...

Lmfao, lower division eh?

Lmfao, lower division eh? Where the fuck are you in the league? Just count yourself lucky at the end of the day, you got off with 2 decisions that awarded you into the next round.

anyone remember arsenals 1st

anyone remember arsenals 1st goal, looked like hand ball to me????

Piss off. You are coached by

Piss off. You are coached by Arsene Wanker!

what? thats silly, the 4th

what? thats silly, the 4th goal wouldnt have happened if the pen wasnt given.

arsenal had pushed their entire team forward to get a desperately late goal.

are you new to football?

its ok, dont cry

Its ok to feel disheartened after a loss...

Hey, Im an arsenal fan and I

Hey, Im an arsenal fan and I would like to say:

Its foolish to think that.
Just think as to why arsenal only had one man behind the ball? It was because of the penalty, and arsenal were chasing the game. if the penalty didn't occur, it could of finished 2-2, its not like arsenal would of been going for a winner.

Its simple to say that, but in fact, your wrong sorry. Well done though, for beating us, you should tremendous character, and i remain gracious in defeat. Fairplay to Liverpool, hope you do well.

Jamal.

tony's picture

Good to hear from an Arsenal fan

jamal, it was a great game, obviously the article is a bit tongue in cheek, but we did score again, and even without that we were still attacking well, there's no guarantee that Arsenal would have held on.

You say take away the

You say take away the penalty and it's 3-2. If you took away the penalty it would have been 2-2 and Arsenal would not have had 9 men forward and only Cesc to chase against Babel. If the penalty had not been given you probably would have gone out of the competition.

are u thick

since babel's goal was after the penalty how could you say the penalty doesnt matter. are u thick?? what if the penalty wasn't given who knows what could happen in the minutes remaining. A game can change completely because of 1 pass or one wrong refereeing decision. You guys were lucky after being outplayed in huge parts of both games. I guess the Champions League is your competition so the UEFA gods are smiling down on you. Hope you beat Chelski though.

give it up arsenal

well done to liverpool, arsenal can point to a few suspect refereeing decisions but the fact is liverpool took their chances on the night arsenal didnt. i seem to remember adebayor missing a golden chance in the 2nd half but noones saying if he had converted that it would have been a different story.gooners grow up,take a look at your teams mistakes before you start using the old united trick of blaming referees

As a Liverpool fan I'm

As a Liverpool fan I'm chuffed that we're through but the piece at the top is embarrassing, I'm not sure you totally understand football if you don't get that they were pushing all of their team forward which they wouldn't have done if the penalty hadn't been scored.

BUT, i doubt that Arsenal

BUT, i doubt that Arsenal would have put 9 men in attack if the score would have been 2-2, so i dont think that babel would have gotten that chance IF the penalty was denied. tough liverpool might have scored the 3rd anyway, but we will never now.

best thing to to now is to move on.

The worse team won

You are a really stupid person. You honestly think than Arsenal would have left one player in their own half and put everyone forward trying to score some more goals they would not have needed!!! They were through at 2-2 and would have had all their players back defending bar maybe one. What a cunt you are. And you are forgetting the other penalty Arsenal was not awarded at Emirates. So even with Babels goal Liverpool would have had 4 in total (that is if the penalty had not been GIVEN yesterday) and with the penalty that should have been awarded at the Emirates, Arsenal would have four goals as well and go through on more away goals! So get your facts strait cunt before you go mouthing of about something you obviously have no knowledge about. Liverpool does not deserve to go through and they know it. The worse team won solemnly because of wrong decisions by the referee, but then again it was always your only chance to go through. Enjoy, you have not earned it!

you lost,,

every one gets poor decsisons by refs, we had one with chelsea, yes it was a pen at your place, but you had enough time to score another goal, you did,t thats your players fault. good football no end product. thats been the story of arse, fot 2 years, why? too many youngsters, no experience , thats down to your manager. you threw the league away to the mancs, and i thought you would have won that. no you need to ask the question why do we allways fail at the end. you played well, and the fist 25 mins you played really well, after that we deseved to win .

moaners

unfortunatly for arsenal games last 90 + minutes and 20 minutes of unsustainable brilliant football is not enough to win a 90 minute game, such beauty takes great exertions and takes its toll in the later stages, to complian is churlish liverpool were stronger over 90 minutes its as simple as that, arsenal should pace themselves in such big games

SCOUSE4LIFE1979's picture

You see it ppl like you

who try to act like men behind a screen...see the things is ...if arse had a forum worthy of going to , you wouldnt even be here...so how bout u get it right lad...Its Liverpools competition...thats why we hav been in three semis for the last four years....you have been in a final and lost to the team we beat....so why not face facts and try make it to second place at least...coz you know u aint winning anything but the shit on your and your teams boots.

"The worst team won"

You sound like that moron Mourinho. You better get over it caus everytime you look in the record books, they will say LFC beat Arsenal 5-3 on Agg

Cannot believe this!! Thought that your Gunners were sportsman?? Come on la,dont be like them Manure's and Chelski's fan's and learn to accept defeat like a true sport.

Yep I love all the refs

Especially the one who was " supposedly " kuyts neighbour.

Arsenal outplayed us for the

Arsenal outplayed us for the first 20 mins. Gerrard, alonso and mascherano didnt even turn up. The whole team seemed to forget that Arsenal need to be closed down to stop them passing like they did.
It's obvious Rafa told them this at half time, because we were a different side - even Alonso made an effort !
All credit to Arsenal for trying their best, but you dont beat Liverpool at Anfield on a European night. Simple as.
Makes amends for last seasons result in the cup.
Arsenal fans, get over it - all your bitching wont change a thing. We beat you, thats the end of it.
You gave it your best, but it wasn't to be.

Poor little infantile

Poor little infantile gooners.

The majority in fairness, recognise that you can't really blame the refs. They were only on top for 20 out of 180 mins.

C'est la vie...

YNWA

Watch the game

Only on top for 20 min. Wow, you Liverpool fans do no actually watch the games do you??
At the Emirates we had some 15 shots on goal and Liverpool 4. Yes 20 min surely. Next time, watch the game, just checking the final score is not enough.
Liverpool laid back and refused to play football with out some 20 minutes in the second half at Anfield!

ziggy

your right, but you could not score, who,s fault is that? your team great football but no end product. also its about winning, not how you play. for 2 years arse have played nice football, were has it got them? yea nowere..

comments about this post

Rather than starting personal insults, just take it as the joke it was meant as. Everyone is making out like this is the first time anyone has ever rubbed a result into the opposition afterwards. If you go on any generic football forum you will see fans from both teams arguing over the result.

My personal opinion on the game is as follows; the way Arsenal played at the start i thought Liverpool were going to get stuffed. It was only when we got a goal that we got back into the game in terms of possession, there were still times when Arsenal went forward that was reminiscent of Barcelona v Liverpool years ago, when they passed the ball round for ages before scoring; however Liverpool still got forward well, although we didn't have the clear cut chances like Adebayor had, but we still got shots away from the likes of Aurelio and Gerrard.

In the second half, we deserved that second goal. We had alot more of the ball after that, then Theo Walcott tore us to pieces before settting up Adebayor. This still left 7/8 mins PLUS injury time for either side to get a goal. Liverpool were going forward still , and yeah we may have been fortunate with the decision considering Hleb's wasnt given the previous week, but throughout the season decisions will go both for and against EVERY team.

The way everyone has reacted is odd, like i said earlier, there is no way you can guarantee Arsenal would have held out against us? Flamini (who has been one of Arsenal's best performers this season) had gone off earlier in the game, so there was a blow for the Gooners. There's no guarantee Liverpool would have scored, but we had the momentum to keep going forward; it was from a Liverpool attack that Walcott got the ball before running the length of the pitch before setting up Adebayor.

Who cares,We are through

Who cares,We are through Arsenal aren't And BTW Arsenal had 4 chances to beat us this season and failed in all of them.Who do you blame the ref or yourselves? Get a grip you bunch of sore losers if you were so much better than us then surely you'd be playing Chelsea now right? Idiots!

Bad moaning losers

Nahhh

Think again... Most of Liverpool's players can't even deal with Walcott!!!

reezal77

yea, like arse can,t deal with babel. ask fabcas..

ok mate so the penalty is

ok mate so the penalty is not awarded and the score remains 2-2 do you think arsenal would have 9 players in your penalty area with seconds to go. i mean i know our defence was shambolic at times but it wouldnt be shambolic enough to lump 9 players up top when 2-2 with seconds to go. you had the rub of the green last night and last week. how did mascherano not get booked? what makes matters worse is that last week's ref now comes out with yes it was a penalty but i thought hleb just went down too easily. forget 2 legs of chelsea liverpool, do us all a favour and just play a penalty shoot out now and put us all out of our misery.

hahahahaha haaaaa

Its so funny reading these sore loser Arse fans in any case whether we deserve to be through or the refs gave us the decisions instead of your lot or arsene wanker was to thick to realise that liverpool players have a hard time dealing with speedy players e.g. theo (self confessed LFC fan)walcott until too late or whatever other sorry excuse you want to conjure up, it still does not matter because WE ARE THROUGH AND YOU ARE NOT. HAAA HA! goodluck in the uefa cup next season.

ziggy maximus at the

ziggy maximus at the emirates you had 11 shots on goal with only 5 on target, we had 4 altogether all of which were on target. At Anfield we had 9 shots on goal, you had 6. So all together you had 4 shots more over 2 legs. I've watched the second leg 3 times now once at the stadium, twice from sky plus, i'm aiming for 6 as its become a bit of a superstition. I advise you watch the second leg again, once we equalised we dominated the game and Arsenal resorted to kicking the ball anywhere as they couldn't deal with the pressure coming from all angles of anfield.

In the long run

I'm gonna have to agree with the mickey mousers and say that it's unfortunate but these things do even themselves out in the long run.

Which is why I expect to see Liverpool relegated next season having conceded 97 penalties in front of the kop after having played an amazing 86.9% of every game actually attacking the opposition with not a single hoofed ball in sight and some pen pusher at uefa even has the audacity to rule that liverpool players should receive a yellow card for every bookable offence, rather than the current setting of one card for every ten transgressions.

Nah, seriously though, your spirit alone got you through...when Arsenal concede a goal they go to pieces for a while..you lot do quite the opposite...in that sense, I have to begrudgingly accept the result. Over the two games, there were quite a few incidents that really could have gone either way and not a single one fell in favour of Arsenal...but thats just how it goes sometimes...kinda like tossing a coin and getting it wrong a dozen times in a row, it can happen. If Arsenal's performances had resulted in them winning by three clear goals over the two games, there probably wouldn't have been very many complaints from the Anfield faithful, but they didn't and thats that. On balance of play, you could have been murdered but ultimately, we made more mistakes than you, at both ends!! Can I say Liverpool were lucky...hmmm..not so sure, you make your own luck. Were Arsenal unlucky? most definately....but then again.....you make your own luck

I just have this feeling that Chelsea are due a result against you lot but I am counting on you to stop the real forces of darkness from making their first appearance in a "real" major final. Now, if you wanna see lucky, then that lot in blue really do take some beating.

Come on you reds!!

THE PROBLEM WIYH ARSENAL IS

THE PROBLEM WIYH aRSENAL IS THEY FLATTER TO DECIEVE, LOADS OF POSSESON VERY LITTLE END PRODUCT.

WENGER SHOULD HAVE HAD WALCOTT ON SOONER,IF NOT FROM THE START, WENGER SHOULDN'T HAVE PLAYED THE CARTHORSE SENDEROS, WENGER SHOULD HAVE SPENT MORE MONEY IN THE SUMMER ON EXPERIENCE.

LIVERPOOL OUT FOUGHT ARSENA , THERE DESIRE WAS GREATER, HOW MANY ARSENAL PLAYERS DID DIDDLY SQUAT OVER THE TWO GAMES ?, CLICHY SENDEROS GALLAS HLEB TOURE VAN PERSIE , HOW MANY LIVERPOOL PLAYERS PLAYED BADLY GERARD LAST NIGHT BUT NOT MANY OTHERS, WE WANTED IT MORE AND GOT IT.

ARSENAL ARE OVER RATED AND WENGER IS A WINGER,ONE DAY YOU WILL LEARN THAT ALL THS POSSESION FOOTBALL WITH NO END PRODUCT GETS YOU NOWHERE, HENCE ANOTHER TROPHY LESS SEASON.

A great game. Aresenal

A great game. Aresenal deserved to lead and Liverpool weren't in until Hyypia header - an Arsenal slip up! Torres a brilliant goal and then a fabulous Walcott run. In a tight tie it was always going to be the smallest of margins. Hleb WAS fouled at the Emirates - no pen. Babel, maybe a foul and given! I would be upset if I was a gooner. As for the fourth goal... I doubt Arsenal would defend like that in "normal" play - so Babel would not have had such a chance.
Aresenal could easily have gone through given the rub-of-the-green, but... this is football and such things happen. All I can say to the rather cocky Liverpool fans on this site - Chelsea might have their say this time around. If so, it would be nice if you could comment on the site with as much enthusiasm as currently shown.

Get over it, get real

Just what is this great Arsenal side that lost to a worse team that is Liverpool? you have no divine right to win anything, oh and there's a point you haven't won anything. you managed 3 draws and yesterday's defeatagainst Liverpool. You are all but out of the premiership race, and the other domestic competitions as well as the champions league now. So by what measure are Arsenal a better team than Liverpool? Don't blame referees for this penalty decision or that one. The fact is you contrived to concede 5 goals home and away against an allegedly poorer team, that says nothing for you. Get over it ! you simply aint as good as you claim to be. It's a shame you are so deluded, coz you actually do play some good stuff. If you conced 5 goals you deserve nothing

SENDEROS -AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

YOU SAY YOU DOUBT ARSENAL WOULD DEFEND LIKE THAT IN NORMAL PLAY CHIPWINSTOW , YOU FORGET THE SENDEROS FACTOR HE IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN IN THE BACK FOUR .

I dont know what ur all boasting about!

As a happy Man U fan I would like to thank all of Liverpool and their good mates the referees for taking The Arses out of the equation.
They might have given us a problem but if you lot make the final you will just end up grabbing your ankles as usual and running scared tring to hide away from the ball. You will never have it in you to beat Utd so laff it up while u can and good luck with 4th place. 4th lmao if the shoe fits etc.

another double

as i'm not English ,i never was involved in all those London-Manchester-scouser confrontations,my preferences are generally based on the quality of the football played by the team.although i understand that many cockney gooners will curse me for this-)),i'm wishing you to win the ChL and beat those cowards (in case
they win the penalty shoot out at Chavski CSKA once again).

Liverpool did it again and proves that they r the best in europe

ohh It's a pity to see our rival's fan talking shit!!!!!!
Babel has a fighting spirit when he get ball on his feet and replay proves that the referee was right.let say the referee was wrong,i'll urge everyone to watch again how Diaby scored;Hleb control the ball perfectly and passed to Diaby who scored a great Goal indeed but Hleb take the ball with his arms....

For the 1st leg Hleb went down to easily that's why the referee did not award the penalty and its a right decision.

Don't be such a bad Loser!!!!!!!!!!!
See You nxt Season Arsenal

i've never been to

i've never been to LIVERpool,but i heard a lot of things about your beatiful town,people say it's as beautiful as the football you play.
Athens 2007,Moscow 2008(though here i'm flattering you,lol),it's gonna be The Bridge 2008.
Be proud,last night you conceded the most beautiful Arsenal goal i've ever seen since i support them .
Enjoy you shite football ,hope you win the Uefa cup next year.

ok lets start off hleb

ok lets start off hleb should of had a pen but wernt given thats unlucky. babel was a pen cos a was pulled then cliped by toure he tryed to stay up but couldn't. saying if you had the pen last week dont mean you would of won cos liverpool would of played diffrent.lets talk about who played better liverpool had more poss more in your half and more shots on and off target in the second leg. ok lets get to boring football i rember when it was boring arsenal i bet none of you complained then it won you trophys if any of you supported them then witch i dout. plus liverpool have scored the mot goals in the comp so cant be that bad.

i fink liverpool's gonna

i fink liverpool's gonna overcome chelsea over ze 2 legs.Chelsea's style is easier for us to cope with than Arsenal's. It is more predictable, less fluid and slower. As stated above they don't look anywhere near as dangerous as they did under Mourhino. Their defence is not as formidable as it used to be and Terry is looking pedestrian. We haven't looked in danger against them for a while now.
Remember this - When you can cope with Arsenal 3 times in one week, then Chelsea are minor in terms of football class.

At the end of the day all

At the end of the day all the big boys are through to the semi finals. If Arsenal supporters were able to generate any kind of atmosphere at the Emirates then perhaps the ref would have bowed to the pressure and given them a pen in the 1st leg. As it is instead of losing 5-4 on aggregate they lost 5-3. Arsenal supporters only have themselves to blame.

u guys make me laugh

look at ya! the mighty arsenal u lose in the cl and then it starts to dawn that u aint winning the prem and all u can do is whine about it. u guys realy put the COCK in COCKNEY y dont u bunch of mardy wankers accept that u lost and shut up whinging ya inbreds. and manure as for avin us in the final u aint gonna get past barca u bunch of dirty manc scum why dont u lot get back to doin what u do best and and go and find some of your underage cousins to nonce up

What a great 2 legs, We lost

What a great 2 legs, We lost but we have nothing to be ashamed of. We played great football and for the rub of the green we may have been playing chelscum. Both teams contributed to 2 great legs. This game would have been worthy of the final. But lets be honest the semi final won't be worth watching for a neutral because both teams will be there usual negative self.

It was a foul ny fabregas,

It was a foul ny fabregas, causing babel to lose his balance into Toure who tried to get out of the way fearing the worst. THe only problem is that Fabregas was outside the box. Correct decsion would be direct free kick yellow to fabregas.

Key incident in the game was not the penalty, but Gerrard accidentally catching flamini late leading to his substitution and the very professional but infinitely less effective gilberto.

imagine dis..

Before the game, Fabregas was moaning that we play too defensively and dont allow them their usual game.. But look wat happened when we came out to play.. We matched them stride for stride and were far better than dem in long periods of the game.. So IN YOUR FACE, Fabs!! ;)

Red4life

Why don't the Gunners fans

Why don't the Gunners fans concentrate their efforts on motivating their team to beat ManUre on Sunday instead of whinging about losing at Anfield? Beat the Mancs on their own turf and the title might yet go to the Airline stadium.

Liverpool beating Arse in the European Cup is just destiny. The big club must always wipe away the smaller club when the shit hits the fan. It's nothing personal.

julez's picture

agreed..

so true.. now after we beat chelsea, maybe the blues n hopefully they will win the premiership.. it'll gud for us..

Red4life

Lets be honest, Gunners were Robbed!

Obviously this is a bit of a joke!!

However,
Some one said they watched it on youtube a lot and it was a clear cut penalty, so what! i watched it and did not see any penalty at all, he bearly got brushed and threw himself backwards into Toure (Babel is a great actor for sure).I bet you watched the Hleb foul and it was not a penalty, huh? Its funny but i have not heard one sports analyst or commentator say difinitively that it was a penalty!! even ex liverpool players are saying the gunners didnt get the calls.
I would respect Liverpool fans a whole lot more if they were just honest and say that these two call were the difference! Arsenal defence was not good but both teams would have scored the same amount of goals if this penalty was not given, even without the Hleb call!

Lets be truthful! do ur best Liverpool but i would be telling a lie if i said i wanted u to win because as fans many of u r not showing much class at all!

Best of luck regardless!

Irrelevant

Just a thought on the penalty.

The reason arsenal lost the tie is that they never manged to hold onto the lead - in spite of all the glorious football, they conceded a goal to us quickly everytime they scored.

Regardless of whether it was a penalty (i think it was, but hey) - at 2-2 you thought you'd won (Adebeyor doing his little dance) and switched off.

AT 2-2 BABEL SHOULD HAVE GOT NOWHERE NEAR YOUR PENALTY AREA FROM THE KICK OFF TO BE IN WITH A SHOUT OF PEN.

whether it was a penalty or

whether it was a penalty or not, we go throu 5-3. the only thing on my mind now is chelsea. YNWA

We deserved to win!!

The best (tactical) team won!
Rafa had a tactic he knows nobody in the prem can play football like arsenal so why try your just goin to get outplayed! So what did we do? We shut you down, suffocated you played irregular football and dissrupted you. As far as a tactical diaply Liverpool played better! We had a objective and we done it.

Language

There is no need to insult each other it just shows a complete lack of respect for each other.

It was the referees who made the decisions not us & we all get decisions going against our teams.

I'm sure we'd all prefer Arsenal to have won the league this year & wish them luck for the remainder of the season.

The truth as it stands

Passion for the game - but why go out and slag off other teams, especially if (as in this case) decisions were made by the ref. I watched both games and replayed both incidents a few times. Two different refs and my opinion both were penalties- the only difference is that Hleb seemed to have fell too easily.
As a Liverpool fan i appreciate Arsenal's presence, flair and quality in the league-no doubt most enjoyable team to watch. Liverpool have an aurra especially on European nights and no other team compares to the Anfield crowd especially on those special occasions.
The fact is Liverpool won. Yes Arsenal played superb first 25mins but after that it could have been anyones.
Lets not criticise where the teams are and who is the better. Recent stats at the end of each season that Arsenal have ended up below Liverpool in the past 2 seasons and Arsenal have won nothing whereas Liverpool have the FA Cup and European Cup - also managed to reach the final of Champions league last year.

Arsenal are destined to win something soon and they deserve it - but lets not get carried away each season and then run out of steam.
Arsenal also have great fans and their is a lot of mutual respect between Livepool and Arsenal fans.
Absolutely fantastic game - shame there could only be one winner cos it could have gone either way.

Liv v Arsenal

I dont particularly like Jose Mourinho but i think he has one thing spot on. Arsene Wenger hasnt won anything in 3 years yet he is idolised by all.. Yet Mourinho won 2 leagues in a row, carling up, and cup double and gets sacked...

At the end of the day its about trophies, who cares how you play???

Arsenal - get over it you lost, the sooner the better otherwise United are gonna thump you on Sunday.. In fact they are going to thump you at least 4-0!

DRY YOUR EYES

DRY YOUR EYES ARSENAL...ALWAYS EXCUSES ...FACT -YOUR NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!

Paul N..

1) Us admitting it was a penalty ain't gona reverse the score or situation or fact tat ur team is out..

2) It was the ref's decision, not ours.. He called it as he saw it.. We dun control his eyes..

3) If he's hav called the penalty, there's nothin we can do.. U definately wont see us whining.. And if he missed giving us Babel's penalty, we wont be whining either cos we believe we hav enough of class n composure to finish off the game from open play, which we ended up doing anyway.

4) Results like that go for n against any teams.. U wont see Wenger moaning when incorrect decisions are in favour of his team.. In fact, he 'misses' incidents like those.

So grow up, quit whining, and watch us win the Cup.. :)

to Paul N again..

The other thing is tat i'd like to do is to thank ur team for helping us progress.. U guys weren't killed, rather killed urself by ur awful display n horrendous finishin, notably by Adebayor. Wenger had about 60m worth of funds but he chose not to spend them on new players.

Our class showed tremendously. We both had the same probs, whereby we had to move Carra to rightback n u guys had to move Toure there.. But luk at our replacements.. A joker called Sanderos n a warrior called Skrtel..

When Rafa saw in January tat Agger was gona be a long term casualty, he quickly swooped for Skrtel.. Wenger in spite of his injuries chose to hav faith in his bunch of players.. So who's to blame? Ur manager has been gettin it all wrong.. The fact that the trophy cabinet hasn't seen any addition for 2 yrs now (n soon to br 3yrs) speaks for itself..

For all its worth, quit whining and try to regroup and win at Manure this weekend while there's still a mathematical chance..

Red4life

Sure! Arsenal should have

Sure! Arsenal should have been awarded a penalty in the first leg, but that doesn't make the referees decision in the second leg any less of a penalty.

And even if Arsenal had gotten a penalty in the first leg, would they have scored? Pepe is a great penalty stopper and the only of Arsenals players that would have the nerves to take such a penalty is van Persie and he was subbed at the time.

To all that say that it wasn't fair on Arsenal I would like to say this. Football isn't always fair. If it had been, then we would have beaten all of Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea at home this season, but that wasn't the case. What goes around comes around.

The team that scores the most goals get through. It's as simple as that.

wait for next season

let by gones be by gones....4-2, i rily don't think arsenal had the guts to win the game,,,,liverpool defended superbly and not forgetting the awesome torres goal..i must say it was poor defending from arsenal.....see you next season perhaps...sorry you haven't been able to beat me this season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When will Hicks sell?

It seems to me Hicks will be in charge next season too which begs the question how much money will Benitez have to spend in the summer? Another run to the Champions League semi-final surely means a lot of cash. If we make the final that'll be 3 in 4 seasons (amazing) which means not many more clubs in Europe can have earned more from the most lucrative competition in club football than Liverpool FC.

Add to this the fact that the difference in money between winning the Prem and coming 3rd or 4th isn't massive then you wonder why we seem to have constant money problems to buy top players.

We should be able to afford a new star name every season. If we want to win the league next season we need to spend at least 60-70 million in the summer on 3-4 top class players.

Will we have this money if Hicks stays in charge?

i agree with u redpool... we

i agree with u redpool...
we need the money we earn this season for immediate results...
a world class striker and a winger ...two players and then get the young players thru the ranks...
the young players will also learn when they play with the gerrards, torres and wishfully eto'o next season...i really hope we get eto'o next season cos i think barca (tho im a big fan of theirs)is goin thru a mini crisis...

1red1pool

hicks is saying he wants parry out, to bring in a new team,to help rafa get the players he wants. he has said l,pool require,one leader, and thats me.he also said with him in charge the new ground, will be done , and rafa will get the surport he needs and money. well i dont belive him, and i want hicks out..

hicks

well now its all coming out, parry knew about the meeting with klinsman. thats what hicks is saying,he said gillett and parry set up the meet, parry does not denigh he was there, but said he was told to be there.the only answer to all of this is for hicks, gillett. and parry to leave. they all shouid be ashamed of them selves. they have let the club down. and every day they stay its making the club a laughing stock. its time they all grew up and did the best thing for lfc. and leave...

HICKS IS RIGHT ABOUT PARRY

HICKS IS RIGHT ABOUT PARRY , PARRY IS THE ARESHOLE WHO RECOMENDED HICKS & GILLLET, HE ALSO GOT A HALF ILLION POUND BONUS FOR DOING SO.
PARRY HASMT DONE A GREAT DEAL COMMERCIALLY FOR THE CLUB AND HIM AND RAFA DONT SEE EYE TO EYE.
SO FOR ONCE HICKS IS RIGHT.

Agree with Eddie

It certainly kills me to think I would have said "Hicks is right" someday, but he's correct. Parry's presence in the club wasn't the best thing around these corners... and we certainly need a commanding presence in a CEO post.

Ian Ayre was vocal the other day saying Chelsea isn't a big club... I guess he's trying to prove himself for that post!

HICKS....and co...

the deal should be if hicks goes, and gillett then parry should go too.this is the best fof lfc, clean the board and start fresh. no more childish remarks to have sucess, it must start at the top. and it is clear the top is rotten i feel sorry for rafa having to work with them and parry has let rafa down. he says he only got the club at heart then resign, with hicks, and gillett. its time for all of them to go.

On Hicks recent comments on

On Hicks recent comments on Parry:

a) Rick Parry has been Liverpool's CEO for 10 years and we haven't won a league championship under his leadership. "Our commercial revenues have not kept up with other top clubs during that time, which has made it very difficult to compete for the Premier League.

this is undeniably true

b) It was time to ask him to resign, due to his inability to manage an organisation, his seemingly arrogant attitude to our supporters and his lack of communication with [manager] Rafa (Benitez).

we can debate whether this was the right time, but the arrogance and lack of communication have been corroborated by past comments from others and his general lack of management skills have been inferred for years.

Other things we know about Parry
-his involvement in the Athens ticket fiasco
-his involvement in discussions with Klinsmann
-his rejection of DIC in the first place
-he knew that debt would be put on the club in the first place
-his near inability to hold onto Gerrard
-his dithering in the transfer market
-his willingness to go ahead with a stadium design that was both 10-15 years out of date and under ambitious

I don't have any hatred against Parry like people have against Hicks but the fact is that he is in a very well paid job, he has never really exhibited any dynamism or even accountability to the fans, he will get a very nice pay off if he does leave. it's a high pressure, high paid job and he should expect the criticism that comes with it.
however if parry resigns n Hicks appoint sme1 he wants,zen he's gonna hav more 'power' in ze boardroom which is not ze case now as gillet is siding with parry.if zat happens i doubt hicks will sell to DIC n we will probably hav hicks as our owner for a long time which none of us wants.
ze ideal situation wud be:Hicks sell to DIC n zen parry resigns . . .

good luck

just 2 say good luck lfc 4 2days match hope everything goes 2 plan

ref

stupid ref wants his eyes tested any other ref would have seen that was a clear penalty apart fromm that well done lads keep it up hope arsanel win or even a draw i dont want manure win

FAIRLY EASY WIN AGAINST BLACKBURN

A FAIRLY EASY WIN TODAY 3-1 GOOD PERFORMANCES FROM GERRARD AND TORRES, BIT DISSAPOINTED WITH BABEL, THOUGHT SKRTEL WAS CLOSE TO GETTIN A RED ALL IN ALL THREE POINTS FIVE CLEAR OF EVERTON , I WOUD LIKE TO THINK THAT FORTH SPOT IS OURS NOW.

Torres & Gerrard

51 GOALS FROM THESE TWO AND THEY HAVE A FANTASTOIC UNDERSTANDING TWO SNSATIONAL PLAYERS IF ONLY WE HAD MOR LIKE THEM. WHAT A COMBINATION.

Fucking Manure so lucky

If Arsenal weren't such bottlers they'd have won 4-1 there today but as usual the Gunners have all the fucking ball and chances and can't put it in net.

I have a feeling ManUre will get battered in the Nou Camp because Barce have better players than Arsenal but play the same way.

ManUre really are the most hyped team and club I ever seen in football. One Champions League final in how many attempts and the media make them out to be amazing.

It's a fucking joke.

The Winger we Need

I went the game today and watched it again on t.v and i thought that although bentley played down the middle today, he was blackburns only threat and that he would not be a bad investment for use to make in the summer?

Any thoughts????

kev j's picture

agree 1red1pool 100%

I feel excatly the same way as u man u are the most over rated team ive ever known! same goes 4 there players i was watching the game yesterday and that fucking andy gray makes me sick when he congrats every man u player and agrees with all the bad tackles they make etc etc.... man u got away with murder as they always do no wonder there fucking hated! its coz the refs are payed by them i think! but it will keep happening unles something is done about it! they got away with bad tackles and hand balls yesterday etc... the manc bastards!!!!

(p)rick parry

why am i not surprised to read that 2 faced back stabbing bastard (p)rick parry was in on the whole jurgen the german affair right from the start. it just goes to show how big this mans balls really are when he doesnt have the guts to tell rafa that he was in on the discussions as well, did he not think that rafa would find out that he was in on it or was he hoping that hicks and gillette would have sold up and moved on by now and it would have all been brushed under the carpet. this man has brought nothing to the club and was the one who wanted the yanks in the first place or was it the fact that he was getting a substantial amount of money for voting them in that swayed his vote towards the yanks. all i can say is that the sooner these 2 idiots in cowboy hats leave the club and take the low life back stabber parry with them the better. i just hope that rafa doesnt decide enough is enough and jack it in because it will be a sad day if he does. YNWA

parry

even if he was asked to go to the meeting, by the yanks.he knows rafa. he could have said somethink to him. sly comes to mind, and i donot know if rafa can work with him , or want to. he like the yanks needs to go the 3f,,k teers are giving are club a bad name. how could parry work with rafa, then go behinde his back, he cannot be trusted like the yanks he needs to go....

hahahaha

just been watching the cl highlights & arsen wenger said they can beat any1 in the world what a joke is that why they couldnt beat us 3x in a row hahaha wot a tosser

Barry Modric Johnson

Good to hear us conected to good quality players, I'd happilly have Garath Barry in my team he ha been an excellent player for Villla, Modric has class , and Johnson is one for the future.

Barry is definitely a player

Barry is definitely a player that deserves to be playing in a top club but not sure about Modric. How much will he cost and how many Croats have ever set the Prem alight? No doubt he's a good player but he is expensive for a guy who has never played outside of Croatia. Normally they don't like the physical aspect of the Prem and I can see Modric, with his slight frame, struggling to adapt. Especially given Liverpool aren't a particularly technical passing side.

As for Johnson, surely we have enough young players in the reserves already waiting for a chance in the 1st team so why buy more youngsters? He looks a decent prospect but won't make our first 11 next season.

We need top class international signings to win the Premiership next season. Benitez needs to focus on bringing in players who will improve the team immediately, like Torres, and not players who will take a year or two to add something to the team.

Benitez has kept himself in a job because of great results in Europe. Now he needs to make a title challenge or ManUre will be clsoing in on 18 league titles this time next year. The time is now for Liverpool to get it right this summer in the transfer market and to claim the title next season.

MODRIC/BARRY

both are good players,barry is sg mate from years back.modric is more mobile than alonso and has more skill. i can only think we are after thease players, as alonso is going. but i do think modric will make it here. barry would fit in to a red shirt as if it were made for him. all in all both good players. johnson use to be on evertons books, he too is good seen him play a few times again i think he has what it takes. it will be a intresting summer for us all. now i have to get back to my russian course.

INTERESTING TO HEAR FERGUSON ON THE TOP FOUR

SAW AN INTERESTING ARTICLE IN WHICH FERGUSON SAYS HE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TOP FOUR WAS IN HOW THEY PERFRMEED AGAINST EACH OTHERHIS SEASO.

FROM THE BIG 4 PLAYING AGAINST EACH OTHER
MAN U HAVE GOT 13 FROM 15 POINTS CHELSEA 5 FRM 15 ARSENAL 6 FROM 18 WE ONLY GOT 4 FROM 18.

NEXT SEASON IF WE HOPE TO WIN THE PREMIERSHIP THESE MORE THAN ANY OTHERS ARE THE GAMES THAT NEED TO BE WON.

FERGIE ADMITS THAT YOU ARE ALLWAYS GOING TO DROP SOME SILLY POINTS ALONG THE WAY BUT ULTIMATELY ITS HOW YOU DO AGAINST THE BIG CLUBS THAT WILL DECIDE WHO WINS THE LEAGUE.

TOWARDS THE ND OF THE SEASN WE SEEM TO HAVE GAINED SOME CONSISTANCY, MAN U HAVE A KNACK OF WINNING EVEN WHEN THEY PLAY POORL, WE ON THE OTHER HAND DROP POINTS.

eddie888

he is right but how lucky have they been? a lot of games they won l.ppol at anfield, boro , arse, they should have lost. next year is going to be one hell of a battle. but the mancs have had good fortune, this season lets hope it runs out.

YOU MAKE YOUR OWN LUCK

YOU MAKE YOUR OWN LUCK, ARSENAL FANS FEEL WE WERE LUCKY AGAINST THEM, WE WERN'T WE WANTED IT MORE.
BOTH CHELSEA ( DREADFUL REFEREEING DECISION ) AND MAN U WREE LUCKY AGAINST US AT ANFIELD. BUT OUR RECOLD AGAINST THE BIG FOUR IS SHABBY TO SAY THE LEAST.

I FEEL MAN U ARE THE ONLY ONE OF THE BIG FOUR THAT HAS THAT EXTRA STRENGH IN DEPTH, AND ALSO THAT LITTLE BIT EXTRA IN CLASS.THEY DONT HAVE MANY WEAKNESSES.
WE ARE STILL FOUR OR FIVE CLASS PLAYERS AWAY FROM WINNING THE PREMIER. WE RE CLOSING THE GAP .

WENGER MUST WISH HE HAD BOUGHT BETTTER IN THE SUMMER,ARSENAL LACK FINISHING, AND STRENGH, THERE SEASON FATERED BADL, AND HEY LOOK A VERY TIRED SIDE.

CHELSEA MANAGER GRANT MUST WISH HE DIDNT PUT OUT SUCH A POOR SIDE LAST NIGHT THEY PLAY ALL SEASON FOR THE PREMIER THEN GRANT PICKS A SUB STANDARD TEAM A BANG THEY DROP POINTS, ( CHELSEA FOR ALL THERE MILLIONS STILL HAVENT GOT STRENGH IN DEPTH BECAUSE THE PLAYERS ON THE FRINGE ARN'T GOOD ENOUGH ), PLUS GRANT IS OUT OF HIS DEPTH.

SO WERE NOT FAR AWAY OUR BEST ELEVEN CAN BEAT ANYBODY, OUR FRINGE PLAYERS LET US DOWN WE CANNOT ROTATE QUALITY FOR QUALITY.
WE ALSO LACK WIDTH, BUT I RECKON WERE GETTING THERE.

WATCHING CHELSEA LAST NIGHT THANK GOD WE FAILED IN OUR ATTEMPTS TO BUY MALOOUDA 15M - 18M WASTED.

eddie888

yes you can make your own luck, but there are times,when luck plays for one side. and the mancs have had too much of it, also with the refs, but i think the arse threw the p/l away it is them instead of the mancs, who should be champs. they run out of steam ,but i would rather watch the arse, than the mancs, i wonder what will happen when ronaldo, gets injured? i think he is there kingpin. still wait till next year mancs...
