This is why Liverpool are not a top club. Lack the mental ability to hold on to a lead. Very saddening to watch that fall. Hell, I'm shocked Arsenal didn't win.

[Kaney]

Disappointing. We could have put an end to the match if Giroud had figured out how to shoot, a good few times. Absolutely terrible in the first half though.

Defensively we're a mess and have been pretty much all season. Rodgers has shown nothing that suggests he really knows how to fix it either, apart from 'chuck Enrique on at left wing'.

Reading pull a goal back with 3 minutes' normal time to go. 2-1.

Ooh err.

[GoGo Yubari]

Here's a .gif of the Bale goal. Magnificent.

2-2

looooooooooooooooool

[Lineker]

Only a good night for Everton, then.

Alfie for England (as a super sub, obviously)!

[Lineker]

Clint Dempsey made 24 passes (83% completion) in 71 minutes. Lewis Holtby made 24 passes (79% completion) in 22 minutes. What an incredible difference.

ADAM LE FONDRE!

We previously took an entire second half to throw 2 goals/2 points away. Now, with improved dedication and practice, we have been able to cut that time to just the last five minutes.

There's efficiency for you.

At this rate I can see it being us, Reading and Southampton going down. Everybody seems to be picking up points apart from us.

[Khain]

I don't feel that bad now

Reading just picked up a point...

Will Rafa make it to the end of the deadline?

I meant Wigan. My bad.

[Szumi]

They picked up a point yesterday...

[Lineker]

Quit while you're ahead brench!

Wenger has just confimed that Kieran Gibbs will miss three weeks after suffering an injury tonight. Seriously, the lad is worse than Darren Anderton!

[Matticus]

It looks like Reading are going to do their usual, slow first half of season, hit form after Christmas routine, thats been in affect since McDermott took charge. This would be the 4th season in a row if we keep up the good work.

[Gazz]

Everyone knows Wigan will become invincible in April and May. They're not going down.

[Sam]

It's really tough to predict the bottom 3 as Reading are now competing and others are all picking up points. The only team that looks gone is Villa. QPR getting 5 points from City, Chelsea and Spurs suggests they will put a run together, perhaps starting at southampton
