I believe we lost the league not because SG slipped but because we lost Henderson for three matches after being sent off against city. Our recent performances in my opinion have suffered because of his absence and demonstrates how important he is. i think we need to do whatever is necessary to prevent this

Our midfield is woeful without his energy.

We lost the league coz we conceded far too many goals with or without Henderson that year. And we are still conceding into the 4th year!

I always thought it was Nasri's equaliser against Sunderland which kept the points pressure on the Reds. Another team got more points.

Let's not forget kolo gave the ball to anichebe in injury time at west brom and he put it in the corner but it never gets mentioned to make it a draw . As much as I don't like Gerrard as a person we can't blame him for losing it for us

We didn't need to play for the win against Chelsea in that game though, a draw would have suited us down to the ground. Hindsight is a wonderful thing though

It is a collection of a no. of things overtime including the arrogance of our then manager. As for conceding, we concede a lot less than we did then so not sure what that`s about or do you want us to never concede cos that will never happen especially, with the way we play.

ANY straw can break the camels back. It's just a matter of timing. Without the previous straws, each straw would make no difference.
All matches are worth three points, whether they are the first match of the season or the last. Without the previous wins, we wouldn't have been in a position to say 'Stevie cost us the league'. Without earlier slip ups we might have been far enough clear that it was still in our hands after the Chelsea game. It is purely timing. You get three points for a win in August and they are just as important as the three points you get for a win in May. It's just that in May the season is ending and what's gone before is a factor. A loss in August/ September is seen as less important cos there are loads of games left to 'make up for it'. Three points for every game boys. Get over it, it takes 38 games to decide a winner, not 90 mins, or 2 1/ 2 mins etc. Each straw is just as important or irrelevant as the last, it's just timing that foists importance on it.

Hamilton, I'm with you mate, no idea why the past coals are being raked over. But why do you keep using the word litigate? More common in a legal setting these days.
