The final match of the season against the relegated Charlton at Anfield. This match would actually determine the chase for the 3rd spot between Liverpool and Arsenal. Although there isn't much difference between 3rd spot and 4th, I guess there's still some reputation and pride at stake.

Arsenal's draw at Fratton Park (0-0) shows that Liverpool and the Gunners with the same points. Liverpool is in 3rd spot with better 2 goal difference.

A match which lots of fans would be seeing Robbie Fowler playing the last at Anfield. We expects a goal or two from him. Unfortunately, in football, things may not just go the way you want it to be. Still, it's great to see Robbie giving his last farewell to his fans. He is a legend, no doubt. We will always remember you as GOD.

I didn't get to watch the match, but just the highlights. Based on reports and highlights, the encouraging thing to see and hear is the fact that Harry Kewell is back. He had a great game and played a part in both goals for Liverpool. His cross led to Xabi Alonso's goal and his penalty from the spot gave Liverpool a point and eventually 3rd place.

It's great to see him back on the field and I do think he looks pretty good in his new haircut. Of course, players like Kewell coming back into the team is always good news. It's just like signing a new player.

With one more big final coming up, I believe every player is geared up for this. They will putting extra energy and effort in training to impress Rafa as they all wants to be legends. Being heros and a part of Liverpool history is something which not every player can do. It would not be easy, for sure. Against the gigantic Milan will never be easy. However, it will not be impossible.

Come on Reds!

You'll Never Walk Alone..
