Liverpool 3 Newcastle 0

It's May and Liverpool are still there! With the season coming to an end soon, I am absolutely proud that Liverpool are still challenging for the title. It's highly that they may not win it but what's there not to be proud of? This team has progressed very far under Benitez.

For this game, I was unable to watch as I was in Melbourne for holiday. Despite that, I managed to catch the goals in the news. Yossi, Kuyt and Lucas all scored for Liverpool. For Yossi's goal, it looked offside but as we know, such decisions can go with and against you. Minutes later, Kuyt scored a beauty with a diving header. For Leiva's goal, it was a good goal too. He too scored from a header after being provided by Aurelio from a free-kick.

"Another goal for Yossi"

Before Leiva scored his goal, Alonso had two shots hitting the bar earlier. He must have had a good game. Unfortunately, he was recklessly tackled by Joey Barton, who got a red card for it, and was stretchered off.

With games running out, Liverpool are doing everything they should. They are playing well and keep winning. However, M*n U*d are showing no signs of slowing down either and it looks more and more likely that they will win the league as the season draws a close. Nonetheless, we all have to acknowledge Liverpool has done tremendously this season. The consistency has improved and if some draws can be turned into victories, Liverpool will be well placed for the title again for the seasons to come. As of the moment, Liverpool still keep their hope alive and it's good to see no matter what others may say.

"I scored! I scored!"

On another matter, I was deeply saddened by the news that Sami Hyypia will be moving to Bayer Leverkusen next season. He has been a great servant for the club for a decade and it's just too bad Liverpool can't guarantee him enough games. Over the ten years, I have always been a big admirer of him ever since he started playing for Liverpool. People talk crap about his lack of pace but as some more knowledgeable people would say, Sami is one who never has pace to start with. At this point, I am still convinced he is the better of defender compared to Carragher, Skrtel or Agger. I may be bias due to my huge admiration of him but I am sure there are people who would agree with me.

I wish Hyypia all the best in his future with Bayer and may he win the German league title in the two years. After that, big Finn, please come back and give the youngsters some lessons. Liverpool still need you! Thanks for all the contributions you have given Liverpool. Let's hope there's a testimonial in place for this big Finn. If there's someone at Liverpool who deserves it, it's him.
