Until it's mathematically impossible, there's no point conceding the title but Saturday's infuriating result against Middlesborough is another unwelcome hitch in our season.

I have constantly stated to friends that I see United loosing more games, and considering we had lost fewer games (same scenario as last season) there was always some hope. Off course, we may still end up loosing fewer games than they will but we have drawn too many. At least 6 of our draws should have been victories.

The Champions League now has a lot more importance in our season. Having been top at Christmas, I am sure nearly every Liverpool fan was eager to see our impressive run continue, but unfortunately it ended soon after.

With Rick Parry leaving the club at the end of the season, Rafa may get his wish and total control of transfers from in and out of the club. I am a little worried that he will hit even more walls with the owners as they will look to enforce a budget that Rafa deems insufficient, but let's hope that it works out better than that.

Liverpool have drawn too many times. Way to many. A similar thing happened last season, but it was an encouraging sign of progress as we began to draw matches we were loosing the season before.

With Torres back, I'm sure we'll have that little bit extra fire power needed to push us on, but draws are no longer acceptable.

I had a blast this past Saturday. After taking my sweet time getting out of bed and out of the house, we made our way up to Liverpool around 10.30am. I tested out the possibility of twittering with my mobile so that I could micro-blog throughout the day.

The first part of our journey was pretty easy, making a stop just before Birmingham. We didn't stop again until we were maybe 70 miles from Liverpool. The Roadchef services we visited was a little shit to say the least, but I just needed to stretch my legs. I checked in with the friend I was meeting there and once we knew where he was, we made the rest of our journey. It wasn't too long after we left the motorway that we found ourselves looking at the slightly visible roof of Anfield from less than a mile away.

After parking up, we made our way up Anfield road and were soon outside Anfield.

Chelsea were not at their best, but I didn't ever really see Liverpool reach their peak. Alonso's goal had a touch of fortune about it, but with an effort tipped over the bar from Gerrard and an Alonso free kick coming back of the post, I don't think anyone could argue that Liverpool had the better chances and were well worth their lead and victory.

Off course, Mourinho would have argued that they were cheated in some way, but Scolari and Benitez had little to say about each other and so much to say about the result, just the way it should be.

The result puts the Reds clear at the very top of the league, and awesome place to be after you've beaten two major rivals early on in the season.

A dream of mine has always been to go up to watch Liverpool play at Anfield. I want to be a part of the atmosphere and I am happy to report that I know have tickets for a match in November.

Liverpool entertain West Brom on the 8th November and I will be there, just behind the goal in Anfield Road stand cheering them on! The game is a late kick off and should be on TV so i'll try and get it recorded... although having said that I don't actually own a VCR anymore!

The tickets were not cheap, and it was a stressfull experience trying to get through online/on the phone for 50 minutes this morning, but definitely worth it.

The last time I saw a Premier League match was when Chelsea beat Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, so seeing a Liverpool win would just be the icing on the cake.

I'm planning to make a day of it and visit the club shop in the city centre, but we'll see how the day goes. I'm planning to take my fisheye camera with me and I think I might be twittering my movements for the whole day. I'll plan to get there as early early as I can and if it's at all possible I'll try explore the stadium and stand in the Kop!
