Gutted doesn't even begin to describe it. I know we've overachieved, moving from 7th to 2nd, but I can't seem to escape the mindnumbingly, gutwrenchingly crushing feeling that the season was a failure at the same time.

I still hold out some hope for a City loss, but home to Aston Villa and West Ham doesn't fill me with much.

As much as I hate to say it, the manager of the season has to be Tony Pulis. Taking a confirmed relegated side to 11th is outstanding, now this.

The Palace fans at Selhurst Park were in full voice for the full 90! It was them that won Palace the game. But tactically it was all down to Rodgers. They didn't given enough respect to Palace at 3-0, didn't even treat them like a Premier League team! Just went full on on the offensive to try and up their GD. Liverpool deserved that result in all fairness, their back two haven't been up to the standard that you'd expect from champions. Two top class finishes from Dwight Gayle, amazing scenes. Bolasie absolutely terrorised them down the wing. Can't believe Suarez, a grown man, was crying his eyes out at a football game. He was the one that didn't take the chances Yesterday summed up the monumental turnaround Pulis has instigated at Palace.

Brendan Rodgers after Chelsea game: "Any manager can go to defend, its easy"
Brendan Rodgers today:"defending cost us today"
Haha w?nker.

Liverpool are in the Champions league. Man Utd are not. If I was a fan, I'd take that.

Palace.

Fergie told Pulis to take the Palace job. Even off the field he is ruining Liverpool.

I still back Villa to get a win over City. But I'm happy we over achieved this season.

Only because it's a result that you want to go your way

Nope, just that Villa has full backs that look to attack once they get their moment, yes Benteke will be missed, but Aston Villa has been playing some good football since I saw them couple of weeks recently. I could've said that about West Ham game, but they can have bumpy ride, sometimes consistent and sometimes not, yes a bit same to Villa, but their fire power will be more crucial.

 

[El Loco]

You're dreaming mate. Gabby's out with a knee injury and how much money would you put on Jordan Bowery scoring? And Grant Holt has been useless ever since he discovered pizza and kebab. If they go all out I wouldn't be surprised if they put 3 or more past us, given our defensive record this season.

Liverpool's title hopes depend on Aston Villa reserve striker whose last goal was in August 2012 - Mirror Online

If any of the two teams can possibly upset City, its West Ham instead of Villa on current form.

Wayne Bridge announces retirement after glittering career with Chelsea, Manchester City and Southampton | Mail Online

He could have had better career if he didn't waste his peak years at Chelsea getting a fat pay check as Ash Cole's back-up.
