Hah, sometimes I do feel sorry for him. I think he'll get a spot in the game against Blackpool.
One can dream.
It's the famous boom bust yearly cycle!
Still now is not the time to be worrying about anyone else! Since the days of doom and gloom when RA first took over we've reestablished ourselves as the dominant English team and coupled it by being the most consistently polished team in europe as well.
Well to be fair, Liverpool probably will win the title again at some stage. Let us not forget that utd went 26 years without winning the title yet they didn't have a "when did we last win it" attitude. I don't think anyone could realistically dismiss the possibility

Just ran the last fixtures through the predictor:
Blackpool only edge it out because Birmingham lose to Fulham and Spurs. They can't really do anything now to stay up - they could try and get lucky and beat man u at home (if united field a weak team).

Personally, I'll be happy to see West Ham relegated.

Lol @ Rio, stay on your feet.
Expect a bunch of drunken tweets from him in a few hours. :/

If Jamie Redknapp mentions Liverpool again I think Nev will punch him.
I totally agree with where you are coming from but there are other aspects (which imo are significantly different from 20+ years ago)
1) Man City can tempt players into a CL playing team
2) They can also throw even more money around given point (ie last season some players may not have even considered City as they werent in CL, now thats very different)
3) This is probably the closest 5/6/7 placed EPL teams have come to top four positions in a while - who knows if it will be the same in 12 / 24/36 months time
A few teams need to go through re-juvination (Chelsea, Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool and City and probably Spurs spending moderately as well), the "best" chance Liverpool have of getting back into the top four (and staying there) is that their aquisitions continue to work perfectly (and in the case of Carroll work better), and one or two of the other teams planned overhaul fails...........or team charachter overcomes "money"
A much larger capacity stadium - and the team making it a success quickly (not always the easiest proposition) would be a great asset too before any of those around / above Liverpool currently get stronger
I agree with pretty much everything you've said there, my point was merely that Liverpool will likely win it again at some stage. The only alternative to that statement is that Liverpool will never win it again, which I find highly unlikely. Maybe it will be in a few years, maybe 10, maybe another 20 ,but I'd feel much more confident of saying they will at some stage than they never will. When did they win it last is not really an absolute barometer for saying they won't win it again ( thank god, otherwise we will never win the world cup again, or have an English wimbledon champion )
