Making the little teams look big.

Liverpool fights back for a dramatic 3-2 victory at home to mighty Wigan Athletic. Uh, yes... mighty. Another famous win against a... well, less than famous team. We still need to figure out how to play a full 90 against teams not named "PSV Eindhoven" (and even that was about 85). It was a great relief, though, to see that we could overcome defensive blunders and bail ourselves out of trouble without the services of El Nino. We were capable of winning this one by three given the quality of play.

Dirk Kuyt = Ball of Fire. I can get used to that. Four goals from his last three matches -- he's starting to resemble the man who had so much success in his days at Feyenoord. Happy to see Riera get on the board, too. I continue to be impressed by his play. Poor Robbie is still a largely anonymous member of this squad. Feels like he's pressing too much and its resulting in countless muck ups on attack.

There was a lot made of Chelski's 5-0 win over Boro during the broadcast. Fact is, the likelihood that the title will be decided by goal differential is slim-to-none. Margin of victory as it relates how two clubs compare to one another only leads to speculation. So with that in mind, today is: mission accomplished. All to play for against those blue d-bags next week.

YNWA!!
