Re: 2013-14 EPL Thread.

Season is over. Liverpool doing well and their "non plastic" fans (funny how their fan base has increased 10 fold in the last 2 months) getting a bit ahead of themselves has helped to create some brilliant memes and vine videos.

Villa just guaranteed survival so they will be in party mode. West Ham did the same and played their cup final vs Tottenham. Be surprised if City win either by less than 3

You would think so, Villa would fancy their chances against them their record in big games is better than anyone's but their away record is the worst in the league. West Ham are good at popping up when you least expect it especially at the end so I could see a possible draw with one of them. But a loss to either of them would be a major slip up but this is the beauty about this sport anyone at anytime can surprise all it takes is a little bit of luck and sometimes an act of god.

When it's been 24 years it's a little easy to get ahead of yourself and really every teams fan base grows when your playing well even the Bulldogs. I've got a couple of Pool jackets and even at the start of the Season I get a little nod in the street when I wear one and that's enough for me to know there is plenty around.

Anyone sightings of Hose B Romero or Marcov ?
The first time they've blown the league since 89 ( back then they won so often it didn't matter)

Following the dogs always gives us some perspective, and if we get ahead of ourselves things go balls up.

Just picking myself up off the floor Remi! What a game. Although naturally i would have loved to have seen the Reds win (i'm such a rusted on fan of 20 years ), Palace deserved the draw. Looking at the elation and pure joy of the Palace fans...i was ok with it. And isn't it great to see a match played in a traditional setting rather than just another concrete monolith!

Gerrard's always reminded me of Brad Johnson. Local boy who becomes a one club player, a leader and shows his passion. And in an era when players regularly swap clubs, put themselves before the team and don't really care for the supporters, that's nice to see.

What a finish to the season for them. You must be proud.

Re: 2013-14 EPL Thread.

What a season, what a ride. Liverpool were one of the best if not the best team to watch in European football this year. Certainly the most entertaining team in the EPL, the mix of attacking/midfield brilliance and defensive calamity had everyone guessing what will happen next, all the way to an improbable title chance. Many clubs and supporters now fear Liverpool again.
Gee, we sure smashed some good clubs off the park and created periods of tension against lower teams. Liverpool eclipsed expectations this year regardless of what happens in the final round. 11 wins in a row? Just incredible. A century of goals! The English kings of Europe have sure been the entertainment kings of England!
A return to the summit seems a far more likely reality now than it did for many years. Fenway sports have revived the club off the field and fair play rules may even the field even more in coming years. For many tangible and less tangible reasons, Liverpool are the greatest club in the world, a rich history of success and tragedy with fans pervasive to all corners of the planet, loyal fans as Rooner mentioned, there has always been lots of shirts around and a sense of camaraderie from the other side of the planet. Liverpool fans aren’t the band-waggoners that other clubs enjoy. The Adelaide supporter groups have been a riot, win, lose or draw, incredible atmosphere, singing all the way from before to after and during the game.

Very proud of the progress of Liverpool this year to where they rightly belong again. To come from 7th last year to title contenders up to the last game has been an amazing turn around for a club without the resources of the teams around it. To think that in December the depth of the team was sorely tested in that a teenage reserve team defender played against City in December, very unlucky not to take some points that game too, such is the belief Brendan instills. Other teams may have had more injuries but those teams had a far greater capacity to absorb them.

Lots of Schaudenfraude around brought on by a desire to be in Liverpool’s position. Bring it on, I’m proud, millions of us are. Good luck to you all.

Brendan Rodgers has been amazing with his game plan and his man management he has really created the careers of many of Liverpool’s young stars and given the great Stevie G (the Chris Grant of EPL!) hope in his twilight years. A new four deal is well deserved for this, still learning, up and coming manager.
Flanagan, Sterling, Henderson, Allen and Sturridge have come from questionable to world class in one season, have a look at the England team, these guys have years together on various competitions.
There are plenty of quality young reds waiting in the wings too and some decent players on loan.

Skrtel 7 goals, Torres 4.

So next year and beyond… a young team and more money available with the lure of Champions league certainty. Another year into the young players. An awe inspiring captain. The big names will come, more so for football than for money.

Football at fenway! Liverpool vs AS Roma at the red sox to come.

When you walk through a storm….

Congrats to Man City for the consistency over the season and Chelsea for their ability to force teams to play on their terms. Brendan has a bit to learn from these guys yet.

Oh and… go the Roar! Classic final of defence dominating before an injury turned the game on its head.

So begins the Rodgers era.

How are your teams travelling? Haven't heard much, they must be irrelevant. Cheers for your interest in Liverpool lol

I don't have a lot of time to post Remi, I wrote the spiel above for the Liverpool supporters group and thought I would share.

Very ... I had resigned myself for relegation back in March. Saying things like 'we can still make it mathematically' (you know you're in trouble when this chestnut comes out). But to do it so emphatically is brilliant. Kind of justifies the coach swap half way through the season
