I'm not over this "celebrating" in the city centre last night. What the hell is that all about?

Although it's not surprising, I know all the hotels in town have been fully booked out with Norwegians since The Huddle.

The fools kept me awake all flipping night, and whilst I chose to live in a city centre, likewise I just don't understand. There was a bit of fighting going on by The Vines pub on Lime Street too. 4am this morning I could hear all this 'Fields of Anfield Road' nonsense - and also a bit of aggro about Munich when I got off the train in the evening. I expect this stuff on a Friday and Saturday night and over the freshers weeks in September and I would not have liked it but would have dealt with it if they'd miraculously won the league but it was pathetic. A couple of hundred boozed up members of the alehouse community making street cleaners quiver in fear at the early hours.

They give the city so much to be proud of.

why? the RS would have still lost the title if he hadn't equalised? gerrard's worth more of the applause tbh

Because when he scored that was it done and dusted, the final nail, they knew it, we knew it.
But really it was all down to Jose they lost it, he convinced them Chelsea were there for the taking because of the fixture pile up, and they went for it when they didnt have to, and for that i will always be grateful to him.

i still say sarcastically applauding steven gerrard is the best. mourinho was the one who mastered it yeah. gayle's equaliser made it a forgone conclusion, but city would have still won imo.

can't applaud everyone who's equalised against the RS ha

and i was in the fecking shower missing it all unfold. you know when you don't know the score and you imagine the best case scenario of what the BBC headline will be whilst the page is loading?

mine was "Liverpool throw away 3 goal lead", i only originally opened up BBC to see the snooker score because i saw they were winning 3-0 when i last looked, but yeah, i just laughed so hard when i saw a headline similar to what i imagined. it doesn't happen to them.

A lot of people switched off

 
I literally cannot stop filling my pants every time I stop to think how it all come tumbling down for them.

Normally I'd want them nowhere near a title place as the sweat on would be unbearable, and at times it did seem that way. I do however think the end was worth it as they flunked it in tremendous fashion. Every single one of them is utterly gutted right now, it's one of nature's great events.

What made it worse for them was believing their own hype and acting like they won it - see the t-shirts on sale like utter balloons and yet none of them pulled up those selling those t-shirts. They condoned it as part of the make us believe cringe they invested in.

Not one bit of class was shown. It wasn't about them winning it, it was going to be about how much they were about to get to gloat. See Luis Garcia rolled out at Anfield before the Chelsea game as one of many examples.

In the end it was a Holy Trinity of events that wrecked the whole thing for them:

1 - Steven Gerrard's slip which will be the ever lasting image of his failure to life the trophy they and him wanted the most. After making sure the camera heard his especially designed "don't let it slip" moment in the huddle when they won the title by beating City at home. They threw it away in the next home game by Gerrard slipping. Karma how could I ever doubt you?

2 - Jose Mourinho pulling their pants down. They hate him for some reason and antagonised him in the build up the game. Mourinho played an injury hit team beautifully and showed them how it's done when it comes to the crunch. He then fist pumped the winner in their faces and tremendously rubbed it in with circus comments going down the tunnel. He plays them like a boss vintage violin, and let there ever be no mistake that he detests them as deeply as we do. Mourinho gets it, a man of good judgement.

3 - Crystanbul. Is it out on DVD yet? For the past nine years we've had to endure continual referencing, bumper stickers and even plays about them drawing a Champions League final and having to win it on penalties. Coming from three back was upgraded to a "Miracle". So then the Miracle Of Selhurst Park happened and that title they'd been dreaming over was gone for good.

Town was jam packed full of hotel reservations for the weekend just gone. It was meant to be St Stevie's coronation. Instead they were left to try and put on a brave face and seek for some fallen pride to make themselves feel good about their pathetic out of town lives.

It's a boss end to an all round good season. Everton look like they're on the up and they just blew their best chance of a title for a generation leaving their heroic captain like an incomplete jigsaw soon to be forgotten on a shelf.

Their ex employees in the media along with Mr Suarez's antics have sufficiently patronised "der neutrals" into disliking them more than any champions of the last twenty years.

Their defiant words this week don't even begin to mask the broken hearts and self loathing.

It's ace.

...spot on there Chico. They let the mask slip, and what 'der neutrals' saw, they didn't like
 
I don't recall a situation where so much pleasure was expressed by so many people at so many different football clubs at the demise of an underdog. Let's face it, under normal circumstances we all want the underdog to do well.

Liverpool, this is what your arrogance, your cheating and diving, biting, ignorance and smugness gets you.

How does it feel to be the least liked club in the league?
