Well fudge. I've only calmed down . Jr is still livid and stomping around like a very very pissed off 12 year old.
I'm afraid to say that I think we drew to Palace due to a combination of utterly inept , comical defending but also a significant degree of arrogance , both on the part of the players and Rodgers.There were comments about the goal difference before hand- ignoring the fact that we had to win the bloody game first. 3-0 ; time to say thanks very much and lets just settle down. Pulis' teams never ever bum up and for us to think we were automatically going to put a sack full past them was arrogant in the extreme. They're not Arsenal , after all.
Our defensive record is not good enough to be champions. I've loved the way we've played this year but there is a time and a place for a slightly more pragmatic approach on occasion. I can't believe I'm about to say this but I agree with something Leggy wrote on the Chelsea game ; given we only needed to draw that , maybe we should have had a different mindset. We won't always score 4 or 5 but we generally look like we may conceed 2 or 3. Agger should really have started last few games.
But we've had a great season- look at the seasons that other "pretenders " have had . Ferdinand's comment at start of season about 3 teams being in contention ( Manure , City and Chelsea) - how'd that work out for you , cock? I've really enjoyed getting to Pub with Jr- great times.
At start of season , I'd have taken 4th. We'll probably get 2nd and nearly won the bloody thing.Hopefully Rodgers has learnt a bit of humility to go with his undoubted talents of getting the best out of players ( example- Sterling , Henderson). Our attack , Chelsea's defensive pragmatism... Jr already has his transfer list ready to go. I'll get him to post it.
YNWA!!!
