Gerrard knew it in his celebration. Lucky to get the win but I'm not complaining. In fact Ludogerets could have taken the lead had that shot not gone off the post.
"Iffy results"... These are supposed to be the best teams in world football by miles. Playing the best brand of football. Playing the most exciting football!
Liverpool scrapes a lucky result against an amateur team with a new debuting 4th choice keeper and Arsenal get humiliated against Dortmund missing 6 1st team players!
Again "Iffy results" = common place for Prem teams;
2011-12 Manchester City dumped out in the group stage. - FA Cup holders Manchester United dumped out in the group stage. - Premier League Champions
2012-13 Chelsea become the 1st & only ever title holder to be dumped in the group stage. Manchester City dumped out in the group stage again, winning none of their 6 games. - Premier League Champions
2013-14 Arsenal making it on goal difference alone. Arsenal usually make it via goal difference or 1 pt more than 3rd. Chelsea losing Basel twice, United have lost to Basel in the recent past too. Madrid, 5-1 walk over.
Prem's knockout phrase record is laughable too, considering the talent and money spent; 12 out of possible 16 make it to the round of 16 in 4 seasons. 6 progress to the quarters, only 3 have made the semis, 2 finalists, 1 winner. 12 for Spanish teams in the same time period. 10 times in the quarters, 8 times in the semis, 3 finalists, 2 winners.
30 games in 3 campaigns, only 8 wins in Europe. 35 goals for, 31 against. Laughable considering they were Prem Champions once and FA Cup winners twice during those 3 campaigns. Not to mention all the money they have spent failing.
I remember the owners saying they'd win it after 3 years too, can't even get to quarters!
Yea mate.. Not even his own league, his own national team! He is a straight up plastic fan.. While he may have some points, it doesn't excuse his extremely odd hatred for his football roots..
This plastic fan has some serious issues, ha.. What a joke.
You obviously don't watch/listen to BBC MoTD or BBC Radio 5 Live or ITV Sport or Sky Sports.
Someone as cynical as me texted into 5 Live saying, "Give it 3 days, you lot will be saying it's the best league again." They laughed, because they know that's what they're going to say!
Hand full of people on a website oppose to hundreds of thousands of people phoning in, texting, tweeting, emailing shows like Talk Sport, 606, etc. Not even close, people are deluded here, Roy Keane has said it plenty of times, people here think this league is the best in every way yet reality has it at 3rd, a distant 3rd too.
Ludogorets deserved a draw here. Pity for them their keeper made a bad choice at the end.
Lucky Liverpool! A post and terrible defensive / goalkeeping handed them a win.
Unconvincing Liverpool and laughable Arsenal aren't sending the so called message that the Premier League is the "best league", far from it.
