When Liverpool visited Stamford Bridge, I was one of the countless Liverpool fans 'hoping' that Liverpool win, and in the process, continue/start their challenge on the Premiership crown. But the whole world knows what happened.
Ex-Liverpool greats, many pundits and Liverpool fans were saying, "We got 14 points against the big 4 last season. We have to improve on the home form against the lesser sides."
Well, now, if you dont beat the Big 4 this season, I don't see any point in thrashing the lesser sides at home. I know I sound skeptical after just one game against the Big 4, but that was Liverpool's strongest 11 and their strongest "bench" and that was not good enough. (Do not talk about Aquilani now)
I am going to come out and say what many Liverpool fans know, but maybe unwilling to admit. Liverpool, at present, are not good enough to win the title. Liverpool do not have the squad to win the title. And god, I hope they don't.
P.S. Stay tuned to find out why I hope they dont win the title this season.

Question time
The FA has come under serious scrutiny this season for a variety of incidents. Criticizing the referee is one among the many. That brings me to the incident which had me livid.
Everyone knows the amount of added time that was played when Michael Owen netted his winner against Manchester City. 5 min 20 sec. Fergie was beaming, obviously and he was extending his congratulations to the fourth official on the touchline.
Fast forward a few matches, and Alan Wiley played 4 min 3 sec of added on time (when it was supposed to be 4 min).
Fergie was fuming and he has called Alan Wiley unfit to wear a referee's shirt. He was declared unfit for a variety of reasons. Read this to know more.
There have been a series of managers who have been charged by the FA for showing disrespect or speaking out against the referees. Why, Benitez was charged for being sarcastic towards the referee. Will the FA charge Fergie or will they turn a blind's eye just because he is Sir Alex Ferguson?
