Could things really get any worse than this? Beaten fair and square by a better Arsenal team on Saturday in the FA Cup. Come to play them again just 3 days later, and knowing that they would play a 'weaker team' Benitez decided to do the same even though the Carling Cup was Liverpool's best chance of winning something this season. I'm almost too embarrased to mention what happened and the score, and its far too depressing to think about. I've never known a Liverpool defence to be as bad as this, but why did we play such a different defence to normal and why did we persist with Dudek in goal after his dodgy game on Saturday - he was even worse tonight. 4-1 down at 1/2 time and then 6-3 at the end - unheard of at Anfield (in fact I've just heard that Liverpool have not conceded 6 goals at Anfield since the 1929/30 season!). Fair dues to Arsenal's 'kids' they certainly did a great job of destroying us. I'm going to have to go into hibernation to avoid the other football fans at Ridley over the next couple of days - especially the 2 who support Arsenal. Football's off my agenda - far too depressing! (Having said that being a fickle fan I'll probably be back on here crowing as soon as Liverpool get something right again.)

Disaster!

Now you know how it feels to support a mediocre team with no chance of getting any silverware! I feel your pain mate!
A sympathetic villa fan
Talking of keeper howlers - I felt for the Villa keeper on Sunday Lewis. What a disaster that was at 1-1 in the 90th minute!
Good to see you on here anyway - thanks for the depressing comment!
