We are Abel to challenge Chelsea
Abel Xavier has said that we can make a title challenge this season. The eccentric Portuguese remembers the dressing room atmosphere from his time at Anfield when we reached the quarter finals of the Champions League and finished 2nd in the Premiership:
"I think Liverpool can challenge Chelsea, even this season. Steven Gerrard said Liverpool were European champions but nobody gave them credit for that. "People think the fight is just between Manchester United and Arsenal to challenge Chelsea. But I believe Liverpool are involved in that fight as well. I was not surprised that Liverpool won the European title. "I knew when they faced Chelsea in the semis that they would get to the final because of the fighting spirit in the dressing room, that was one of those precious things I have experienced in my career."
Let's hope he's right.

You have not been able to challenge Arsenal and manU for 15 years. Why do you care about challenging Chelsea? You are just a cup team. You should be greatful for that, because it will disappear soon too.
Yeah, right. Good thing you help us out with the facts here anonymous. Liverpool won some cups lately and can call them selves the champions of Europe (can you count to five?). Something no team from London can. You can't buy that cup as you can buy your way to the top of Premier League, you actually have to earn it.
BTW, this were the standings in PL less than two years ago:
Round 13, season 02/03:
Liverpool 13 9 3 1 24-10 30
Arsenal 13 9 2 2 28-13 29
Chelsea 13 6 5 2 23-12 23
Everton 13 7 2 4 16-15 23
Man U. 13 6 4 3 17-12 22
Newcastle 13 7 1 5 19-16 22
Middlesb 13 6 3 4 16-10 21
Blackburn 13 5 5 3 19-14 20
well. . we will see in just a few days how we handle Chelsea :)
Spoken like a true arsenal/chelsea fan, European Cups 0!
