redfiona99This weekend's thoughts.
Liverpool have blown it majorly. Which makes me sad because I did want Gerrard to get a title before he retires and this is probably the best chance they're going to get in the next few years (unless United continue to be useless and neither Chelski nor Arsenal get a strike whose name is not Giroud [not that I don't rate Giroud a lot more highly than most do but they need another striker]). When it first started looking like Liverpool could win, one of the papers interviewed Jamie Carragher, and basically asked "so Liverpool might win the year after you retire. Thoughts?" And I think they were expecting 'woe is me' which Carragher of course wasn't because he loves Liverpool and wanted them to win whoever was on the team. Because Jamie Carragher is love.
The one upside to this though is that no-one is going try to pretend that Brendan Rogers is actually a good manager. For the love of flying monkeys, please can we not do that.

Samir Nasri is lovely. Asked whether it could be 2012 all over again, his face does "oh please no" and he said that "it's not good for the heart."
Sunderland are inexplicable.
I bet Cardiff wish that they hadn't sacked Malky McKay. Actually, that's not true, no-one at Cardiff wanted rid of him except the owner but he's also about the only person who gets a say in it. If I were another Premiership club I'd go in for Jordan Mutch. He's not a bad little striker.
Unrelated to anything, I do hope we get Mick McCarthy for the World Cup commentary.
Between Weimann, Arautevic and the superstar David Alaba, that's the beginnings of a decent Austrian team.
Nigel Pearson is love. His Leicester team relegate Doncaster, only the Donnie coach is one of his old players so, on final whistle, it's the "there, there" shoulder hug you give to disappointed players.
Gareth Ainsworth of Wycombe Wanderers is also love. On the fairytale of keeping Wycombe up, ""I still believe in fairy tales. I read them every night to my three children and hopefully I can be telling them about the day Wycombe survived."
Lukas Podolski, on the other hand, is a moron.
I did love Robbie Fowler's little dig at Arsene Wenger, "Loic Remy was there, but as usual, Wenger's going to say he didn't see him."
