Hope alive for Chelsea

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has not conceded this season’s Premier League title after his side beat Birmingham 3-1 on Wednesday.

The victory lifted Chelsea to second on the table, six points behind Manchester United and with the leaders still to play Ancelotti’s side and Arsenal, their faint hopes of retaining their Premier League crown are still alive.

A Florent Malouda double and a goal from Salomon Kalou gave Chelsea the victory at Stamford Bridge, one which had Ancelotti contemplating their run home.

“To win the title we’ll need less points than last season,” Ancelotti said.

“We won it with 86 last season. Now, with 80 points, United can win the title. They need 10 points.”

“We are happy tonight because we’ve reached second place. We await to see what happens in the next five games.”

Ancelotti won’t be ruling his side out of the title race right until the final match of the season, when his side travel to seventh-placed Everton.

“In football, I learned that everything can happen in the game right up to the final whistle,” he said.

“You can win the title in the last minute and you can lose the title in the last minute. If we thought that one month ago we’d have a little chance to come back to fight for the title, I think that everyone could have said we were crazy.”

“Our aim is to try and win every game. After that, we can see our results and our position in the table.”

“Six points (gap) at this stage with five games to go will not be easy, but we don’t have to think we can or can’t do this.”

Ancelotti also hailed Didier Drogba after his terrific performance, with the Ivorian providing two assists and looking far more deadly than his fellow striker, Fernando Torres, who started on the bench before making a brief appearance as a substitute.

Birmingham manager Alex McLeish was disappointed with his side’s slow start to the match, conceding two goals in the opening half-hour.

“Shocking start,” McLeish said.

“We did the same thing here last season and gave ourselves a mountain to climb. But we hung in there and never gave up.”

Birmingham are only five points above the relegation zone with five games remaining and McLeish has set his side a target for survival.

“I would say we need another win,” he said. “We’ll try and get as many points in the last five games as we can.”

Keeping Hope Alive

By: Noel | April 4th, 2011

Hope can be a curious, slippery, manic depressive sort of thing at times, and over the past few days there has understandably been talk of accepting reality and adjusting those at times painful hopes and dreams accordingly. European competition seems out of reach, with the team having looked unimpressive in defeat against Roy Hodgson’s West Bromwich Albion. Pepe Reina’s departure seems a near certainty in the circumstances. The reality that Steven Gerrard’s only getting older and more injury prone, and that Daniel Agger may never truly be healthy, is beginning to sink in. And the prospect of the first season without continental play in over a decade, with the resultant difficulty attracting top level players over the summer to boost an exceptionally thin squad, looms.

The players, though, still talk of hope:

We have still got a bit of catching up to do on Tottenham. They only drew and if we had won we would have closed the gap on them.

There have been plenty of times this season when we thought European qualification had gone. Wigan at home, West Ham away. But then you get a couple of good results after those and you think it’s back on. With this defeat it looks as if we are even further away now, but you never know–a couple of good results and we could be back in it.

Or so said Jamie Carragher, a man whose re-embrace of the long-ball has done the club no favours after a brief reprise following Dalglish’s appointment, a short and hope filled month when all involved seemed to buy into the need for pass and move football and keeping the game on the ground.

Still, though his passing tendencies may at times be misjudged, his words are not inaccurate. Over the entire season, the club and its fans and supporters have seemed to at times bounce directly from fears of relegation to hopes and dreams of Champions League action. Even focusing on just the most recent weeks provides a fine example of this bipolar roller-coaster, with a flying win against Manchester United that fueled hopes of both moving up the table and of helping to keep United from another title providing the high point. Yet that glowing victory was itself bookended by a pair of dull and, quite frankly, dire performances against Braga in the Europa League that reminded everybody just how thin the squad was–and how far it still had to go if it was to ever return to the kind of flowing, dominating football seen in Europe only a few seasons past, let alone the heights of the Liverpool Groove that marked Dalglish’s first stint as manager.

That second match against Braga that saw Liverpool drop out of Europe certainly felt like the end. Felt as though, for the latest and last time, any realistic hopes for future European competition were well and truly dead. And yet the very next match, an at times attractive victory over Sunderland, saw eyes turn to the table, where Tottenham didn’t seem nearly so far away in fifth as they had only a day earlier. Moreover, Tottenham was still concerned with this season’s Champions League and had a tough quarter-final against Real Madrid looming, something that could put Liverpool in an even better position to nab fifth as Spurs were at a stage where there could be little choice but to focus most of their energies on Europe.

But then, of course, Liverpool lost to West Bromwich Albion. And not just any West Bromwich Albion: Roy Hodgson’s West Bromwich Albion. And they looked horrible in doing so. And it threw away any gain that could have been made in the table when Tottenham slipped up and drew against Wigan.

The players, though, still talk of hope, with Jay Spearing chipping in alongside Carragher:

We will never give up the fight for Europe and there are still plenty of points to play for.

With Tottenham only drawing it was a great opportunity to close the gap but it was a massive disappointment for ourselves…

We were disappointed with our performance on Saturday but we need a big response against Manchester City.

It’s hard not to wonder if a player or Spearing’s talents–no matter his local heart–is as much as anything an indictment of just where this Liverpool side stands, especially when compared to those filling similar squad roles on the side he’s soon set to face. Still, if the team can find a way to pull together with a strong performance against an at times similarly uneven football club, then there’s no reason to think fans might not turn to the table afterwards. And it’s not unreasonable to think they might find cause for just a little bit of hope, and a dream or two of what if.

Whether those rekindled hopes would be a good thing should events conspire to allow them, or whether it would be just another false dawn to be snatched away, is another question. Because Liverpool is almost certainly out of Europe, and they likely have been ever since the combination of Arsenal choking on the Carling Cup and the players themselves choking on Portuguese opposition put the nails in the coffin. Just about everybody has been aware of it on some level, and talk of accepting that reality has come up before this latest setback.

But hope can be a curious, slippery, manic depressive sort of thing. And with the right set of results there’s still room for hope to hurt everybody all over again. Or to finally come through in the clutch and provide an unlikely and upbeat end to the season. Because it’s easy to say you accept the season is over, but it’s been said before and it didn’t stop people from finding hope all over again when a few results went Liverpool’s way. Just as it won’t stop hope from creeping back into the frame should results fall the right way next weekend.

    Tweet « Gerrard’s Groin Falls Apart, Kate’s Face Breaks Out, and Other Monday Notes | Home | MikeNoel I gotta ask, where did you find that pic of Pepe? It's great. I can't find any pictures from the match.EdAlso worth checking out is http://zimbio.com and http://daylife.com/photosNoelTry here: http://galeria.lfc.pl/index.ph...MikeThanks guys.alabamabobI don't see Dalglish recalling any of our fullbacks or going out for a emergency loan. My thought process revolves around the following:
1) we're not getting relegated
2) European football could have been within our reach, and still might, but after the season/luck we've had I'm not going to waste tooo many dreams (maybe just 4 or 5 a week)on that.
3) I'd say, lets blood the young ones. Get them a taste. Maybe a few of them would have the fire in their bellies enough to do us some good. What do we have to lose?
4) Were we not so berift of defenders at the moment, I'd also say let Carra take a seat on the bench. He gets far too hoof-happy, when he would be better off passing the ball short. He was also absolutely destroyed (save one likely goal saving block, who else right?) the entire game defensively.
5) Put the team in position to do well next season. We're not rebuilding, we're reloading.Tom FooleryPretty much my underlying thoughts...blood the youngins and bench Carra is a good approach in my book. And, I love that last line.Tom FooleryOooh, and the emergency loan thingy was brought up during the matchday thread, I think.
Anyone know anything about the possibility of picking a fullback up until the season ends? Or recalling one of our various loanies (ie. Insua, Derby, and dare I say...Konchesky)?Tom FooleryWhile its true that the table and upcoming, potentially season changing, matches leave plenty of room for hope, I can't help but have my doubts, and it is largely due to the list of players occupying the treatment table. Don't mean to be a downer here, but 0 recognized fullbacks (happens to be where we develop width and thus crosses to our towering CF) leaves me feeling a bit bleak. I've never been one to "give up", and I'm far from that stage, but I think that we have to realize that not qualifying for Europe this season doesn't make it a lost season. There are plenty of silver linings, we've had huge ups to go with the downs..owners, player development (from the academy to first team, not to mention the loanies), coaching/medical staff, etc. We are far from the pit of dispair, and we aren't about "to do a Leeds" as we were constantly reminded of at the beginning of the season, but we may have to exercise some patience and realize that every disappoitment that the present and the future holds (there will be plenty) comes a shinny little light of positivity to keep our hope alive. We support LFC, and in case you don't know, this is a great club that will always have something to keep people supporting it, pushing it forward. We lose as one, we win as one.
Here's to winning...and losing, because I'd much rather support the Pool when we lose than support a winning team with no soul.GalahadThreepwoodI love that last sentence. I would rather support LFC in the Championship (God forbid) than support Chelsea in the Champions League.BgurakanWell put Noel - a week of hopelessness followed by a ray just before the next kick off with predictions of a convincing victory with no basis - probably why the next game never comes fast enoughHysterical HoosierWhat? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is!
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Hell no! And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough….The tough get goin'!
Who's with me? Let's go!
MikeYou should post more often. Yeah.Red2deathI'd have to agree with Carra too, especially since the next two games are against Man City and Arsenal. Apparently it takes a certain level of opposition for Liverpool to play decently. Anything below that and the players won't even bother to show up.

In any case, within two weeks we'll know if this season has been a complete utter disaster or just a mitigated one.

Here's to our tenth crucial summer of the past decade.blog comments powered by Disqus

Copa Libertadores wrap: Velez keep hopes alive, Leon suffer setback

Velez Sarsfield won a bruising Copa Libertadores clash with Union Espanola on Thursday, while Leon de Huanuco’s campaign is all but over.

Qualifying for the continental tournament through their second placing in the Apertura of the 2010 Argentine Primera Division season, Velez Sarsfield needed a win at home to keep them in touch with Group 4 leaders Universidad Catolica.Ricardo Gareca’s men duly delivered with a 2-1 result against Union Espanola, elevating them to second in the group standings.Defender Emiliano Papa opened the scoring for the home side, lashing in the rebound on 23 minutes after a close-range effort from striker Santiago Silva had been blocked by Union goalkeeper Eduardo Lobos.But the lead lasted just 11 minutes, with the Chilean outfit equalising when defender Leandro Delgado beat the off-side trap to flick his header past Velez shot-stopper Marcelo Barovero.Having gone close in the build-up to the opener, Uruguayan Silva did not leave empty handed when he nodded home in the 69th minute after Maximiliano Moralez’s cross into the area was sent back across the face of goal.Velez survived several desperate attacks as the clock wound down, and could also be considered lucky not to have accumulated more than three yellow cards after a handful of robust challenges went unpunished by Brazilian referee Salvio Spinola Fagundes Filho.Union drop to bottom of Group 4, but are just three points from fellow Chilean side Universidad in the standings, with two games remaining.Bolivian club Oriente Petrolero hopes of progressing beyond the competition’s group stages are well over, but they provided a hammer blow to Peruvian outfit Leon de Huanuco’s own campaign with a 2-0 win at home.Alcides Pena’s 17th-minute opener was complemented by a 78th-minute sealer from Bolivian international midfielder Jhasmany Carlos, handing Oriente their first points of the stage.The result leaves Leon de Huanuco three points and goal difference from second-placed Gremio on the Group 2 table, with the Brazilian club possessing a game in hand. Colombian side Junior are the runaway group leaders, having won all four games.

Inter still alive in title race

Inter Milan assistant coach Giuseppe Baresi has predicted a thrilling battle for the Serie A title as Inter close in on rivals AC Milan.

The defending Italian champions defeated Fiorentina 2-1 on Wednesday to remain third on the table, five points behind leaders Milan.

Napoli sit a surprise second, two points ahead of Inter, with 13 games left to play in the season.

It is a remarkable turnaround for Inter, who were as many as 13 points adrift of Milan in December before beleaguered manager Rafa Benitez was sacked and replaced by Leonardo.

Speaking after the win at Fiorentina, Baresi tipped his side to keep up the pressure on their cross-city rivals as the fight for the Scudetto intensifies.

“Well, of course after the defeat in Turin (to Juventus) it was even more important to win today, to put that behind us and then we know that here if you lose a match you’re out of the games,” Baresi said.

“I think that winning in Florence now, against a Fiorentina side in good shape that have had seven or eight good results beforehand shows how well we are doing well and how we want to battle for the the top of the table.”

“Nothing changes now. We know that three points are important for us in every game from now on.”

“We are playing catch-up, so every match is very important for us. Nothing changes. We’re there or thereabouts, with five points less than Milan, so every match is like a final for us.”

Inter midfielder Esteban Cambiasso hailed his team-mates for their determination to find the lead after Fiorentina drew level 1-1 in the 32nd minute.

Giampaolo Pazzini continued his goal-scoring glut with a winner after the hour, and Cambiasso rejected suggestions Inter had been less than impressive at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.

“Maybe you think it was not a great effort, it was a great effort for us,” Esteban said.

“We have played 12 matches since after the break, so don’t tell me that it wasn’t a great effort. You make me laugh.”

“We definitely started well. We scored and then, as it happens when you play so many matches in a row there was a little lapse from us.”

“At 1-1 we showed that we are a great team and wanted to score rather than just being cynical.”

“We showed that we still wanted to dominate and played most of the second half in Fiorentina’s half of the pitch, apart from a few counterattacks from them.”

Crawley Town keep the magic of the cup alive

Sought after Tubbs

Congratulations to non-league Crawley Town who have become only the fifth team from outside the top four divisions in English football to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup. They are the first team to do so for seventeen years.

Remarkable

The fourth round game at League Two Torquay United was a remarkable match that had a bit of everything in it.

The start of the game was delayed due to congestion as over five thousand fans, one thousand two hundred of whom were from Crawley, tried to pack into the Plainmoor ground.

The Blue Square Bet Premier League side took the lead through their much sought after striker Matt Tubbs in the thirty-ninth minute of a fairly even and uneventful first half.

Life

After the break, the game really sprung into life. Torquay had chances to equalise but then their player Zebrowski, not only picked up two yellow cards in a minute to reduce his side to ten men, the second one was for handball in the are to give Crawley a great chance to seal their victory.

Torquay keeper Scott Bevan saved brilliantly from Tubbs’ spot kick and the game was still wide open. However, seven minutes later Crawley were awarded another penalty. This time McAllister stepped up, but again Bevan made a fine stop to keep his ten man team in the game.

Despite being down to ten men Torquay, who were themselves trying to get beyond the fourth round for the first time in their one hundred and eleven year history, poured forward in wave after wave of attack, but couldn’t find the equaliser even when ten minutes from the end, Crawley also had a player dismissed.

Underdogs

The game had everything that a good old fashioned FA Cup tie should have and the underdogs won out in the end.

Having said that, Crawley are not a typical non-league side. There is money and ambition at the club and in the Summer they spent over
