Former Liverpool midfielder Ray Houghton admitted it was fantastic to be back playing at Anfield once again in the Replay 86 match and said the club will always hold a special place in his heart.  
Houghton was a member of the 1987-88 team which is widely recognised as one of the best teams ever to grace the Anfield turf, and he played the second half of the match which saw Liverpool beat Everton 1-0.
  
"It was great to be out there again at Anfield in front of a great crowd and Kenny and Marina are doing fantastic work for the charity and making lots of money which is great to see," Houghton told Liverpoolfc.tv.
  
"It was a really enjoyable day and it was nice for the kids to see some old faces that they probably wouldn't have seen before, but they can now put names to the faces that their dads would have told them about.
  
"There was plenty of banter in the dressing room and it was like I had never been away from Liverpool. It was unbelievable and all the players will tell you that the one thing that you miss besides not playing anymore is the changing room.
  
"There was some good banter on the pitch as well and you saw the rivalry between Steve McMahon and Peter Reid. It was like it used to be and as a spectacle it was a good game when you consider that a lot of the players are now in their 40's and 50's.
  
"It was nice to play a part in the goal and being at the Kop end was great. Bobby Mimms had made some very good saves but we managed to get the goal even though it looked off-side! We will take that though.
  
"It was great to see Steve McMahon back from Singapore and Steve Nicol from Boston. That just shows you what playing for Liverpool meant to them and it's a testament to what they think of Kenny as a person coming back to play in this game.
  
The former Republic of Ireland star also spoke of his love of Liverpool and said it is a time in his life he will always treasure.
  
"It was always an honour to play for Liverpool and it will always be the home of football for me," he added. "Growing up I had always loved the way Liverpool played with pass and move and the way they used to dismantle teams was just fantastic. To be a part of that great team was just phenomenal.
  
"We were all itching to play in this game as it could be the last chance we will ever get to play at Anfield in front of 32,000 supporters. It is a special place for every player and it was interesting to see that the changing rooms haven't changed much either.
  
"I was expecting to find state of the art stuff in there but it was the same as when I came to Liverpool in 1987. In the best part of 20 years it hasn't changed and I think that's great because the club hasn't lost the spirit of years gone by, and hopefully it will stay like this for a long time to come because I think it gives the place an extra edge."

For Liverpool legend Steve Nicol playing at Anfield again in the Replay 86 game for Marina Dalglish was special and he admitted after the game it was well worth the long 10 hour trip from Boston.  
The former Liverpool star only arrived in England on a flight from the USA on the morning of the match but there were no signs of jet lag and he managed to last the distance and play the full 90 minutes.
  
"It was absolutely fantastic to be back in a red shirt again and play at Anfield and it was a pleasure to be here," Nicol told Liverpoolfc.tv.
  
"When I got the call from Kenny asking if I would like to play I just had to get a flight over to Liverpool, and it was magic and we won the game as well which made it even better.
  
"I arrived in Manchester at 7.45am on the morning of the game but I was okay as I admit I had been in training for this game back in America.
  
"To play in front of a big crowd again at Anfield and be back amongst the boys was just something special. It was a fantastic crowd for Marina's appeal and it was just a great day. I knew Kenny would give stick as normal but it was worth getting more stick again just to come back!"

利物浦前鋒科拿不希望他已經在晏菲路的球迷面前上陣了最後一場比賽。

該名31歲球員在上周六對阿士東維拉時受到球迷熱烈鼓掌，這也是球隊今季最後一場主場比賽。科拿於1月時再次加盟利物浦，不過6個月的短期合約將於今季末完結，暫時仍未知道球會會否向他開出新約。

前英格蘭前鋒科拿說：「在比賽末段時球迷不斷在喊我的名字，令我為之動容，但我希望他們不是為我而餞別。我認為我還可作賽幾年，我對自己的體能狀況最為清楚，雖然我也對今季自己的狀態愈來愈好感到有點意外，但我真的不希望上周末的比賽是我在晏菲路的最後一場。」

It's one season I never thought I'd be sad to see the end of, given it seems to have been going on for the gestation period of an obdurately overdue elephant. But the way things are currently panning out, the end can only come too soon.  


  
Ten wins on the spin: those dark days of winter seem a long time ago now. From goal-shy 'failures' to a team averaging three goals and three points per game since mid-March.
  
Last August I felt this was a campaign where the Reds needed to put down a marker on a future title challenge, rather than expect to make one this time around. I think I described it as building a camp on Everest – you climb in stages. Of course, had Chelsea experienced a disastrous season, this would be good enough for a title challenge; 79 points has won the title in recent years, as has a total as low as 75. But Chelsea remain extremely consistent.
  
While two decades ago 'surprise' teams rarely won England's top division (after all, it was mostly Liverpool), there were always teams like Southampton and Watford who could spring a shock 2nd place finish. These days the surprise tends to come in the team that finishes 4th. The top three rarely includes an unexpected name.
  
I felt establishing a place in a clearly-defined top four was the Reds' aim for the season, although Arsenal, currently 5th after nine seasons spent finishing no lower than 2nd, have found that doing well in the Champions League and the Premiership in the same season is a tall order. The phenomenal 43 point swing from Arsenal to Liverpool in 12 months owes much to the Gunners' inconsistency this term, but also the 21 points the Reds have already added to their 2005 total.
  
A year ago Arsene Wenger compared Liverpool reaching the final in Istanbul with Millwall making the FA Cup final. I take it Mr Wenger is not being so demeaning about his own team's efforts. Arsenal are so far behind in the league, Liverpool have established a clear top three – although I fully expect the Gunners to be back challenging next season. But they are no longer the better side.
  
With three English teams reaching European finals within a year, it's fair to say the Premiership is currently a very strong league, as the country gets back to the levels of 20 years ago in continental tournaments. Rafa Benítez arrived in England when the competition was fierce.
  
I felt 70-75 points was a realistic target this season – even after the difficult start. Even I, with my big red positivity hat on, never expected the Reds to be one win away from 82 points; I'm always happy to be proven wrong by the team exceeding my expectations.
  
But next season is when it will get really interesting. Ten months ago I made the point that teams do not jump from 5th to 1st anymore. So the aim was always to get as close to Chelsea as possible, regroup and redouble the efforts ahead of 2006/07.
  
The first stage of that aim has clearly been successful; the next part is to bolster the squad with quality additions, in order to improve the one or two areas still undermanned, and to hope all key men return fit and healthy from 'Germany 2006'. Then it will be up to everyone at the club to prove this season was indeed a stepping stone, and not the high-water mark of the Benítez years, as happened to Gérard Houllier in 2002.
  
Since the Premiership began (and by using that timeframe I don't wish to pretend the other 100+ years of top-flight football did not exist), the team which won the title – if it was their first in a long time – finished 2nd the season before.
  
Manchester United finished four points behind Leeds in 1992, but won the league a year later. In 1994, Blackburn finished 2nd, eight points behind United, and won the league in 1995. In 1997 Arsenal finished 3rd –– although level on points with 2nd-placed Newcastle United and seven behind Manchester United; Arsenal won the league a year later. Then in 2004 Chelsea finished 2nd, with 79 points to Arsenal's 90, a year before landing their first title in 50 years.
  
With each of those 2nd-placed teams the gap to the eventual champions was fairly substantial. By becoming champions 12 months later they were not making up a difference of a point or two; on average, it was 7.5 points by which they trailed the previous season, with the highest jump made by Chelsea, who were 11 points in arrears of Arsenal in 2004. The closest the Reds can get to Chelsea this season is 9 points, but could still end up double that.
  
While 37 points is an impossible gap to overhaul in one single year, especially with the pursued team showing no signs of under-performing, a dozen-or-so makes it far more interesting.

Difficult patches
  
The Reds had two difficult patches in a season of otherwise near-faultless results. Early on, performances were mostly good, but games could not be won.
  
A similar thing happened in the New Year, although this time the performances were a little more inconsistent with the team looking tired, while it was right in the middle of the Great Strikers' Drought. At the time one newspaper described it as Liverpool's worst strikeforce for 40 years; in the last six weeks, those four strikers have scored 16 goals. And that's not including the goals from sometime-striker, Luis Garcia.
  
Back in February, Manchester United's £60m strikeforce was held up as an example of the quality Liverpool lacked. Now United have failed to score in three of their last four games, and 2nd place will go down to the final game of the season as a result.
  
Those difficult spells for Liverpool undermined some excellent periods of form and consistency, but then that's how seasons tend to go – it's rarely all smooth sailing.
  
The interesting thing is that Liverpool played all four league fixtures against Chelsea and Manchester United during the two fallow periods. These were the six-pointers, and the timing was not beneficial. We saw the difference last week in playing Chelsea when in form and full of goals.
  
But you have to play teams when the fixture list says. That's all part of the unpredictability of football. These will be the four most crucial games next year, and if the Reds can go into them in better form, as seems likely, it will have a big effect on the league table.
  
The two successful periods of the season have been characterised by record-breaking runs. Ten consecutive league wins at the end of 2005 (falling one short of the club record), which coincided with the run of 1,014 minutes without conceding a goal in all competitions. With two games left, the team remains capable of breaking the club record for most clean sheets in a season. Victory at Portsmouth, and it will overtake the win percentage of the great 1987/88 side.
  
And now 10 straight wins in all competitions, the best run since 1990; the hope has to be to make that 12 in a row. Plus there's a midfielder with 21 goals – something you don't see too often. One more goal for Fernando Morientes and that will mean five players in double figures for the season – although only one in double figures in the league.
  
What the Reds need to do is start next season with a similar impressive run, and give themselves something substantial to build on. This season there were too many players going into the spine of the side to expect everything to gel instantaneously.
  
While things might have been different during those difficult periods, I don't believe in focusing on 'what ifs'. I think it's too easy to say 'if we'd won this game and that game, we'd be Champions'. Win games you ended up losing, and you might have lost subsequent games that were won. Who knows? While winning usually makes it easier the following week, it might also breed complacency. Sometimes you need to lose to have a big soul-searching moment, before going on a long unbeaten run.
  
The main 'what if' will be if the Reds draw at Portsmouth and United lose at home to Charlton. Then goal difference will be analysed to death. 'If only' the Reds had scored more goals.
  
If the team hadn't already exceeded expectations, that might be a valid point. But you could just as easily focus on all the clean sheets – 'what if' Reina hadn't made that remarkable save? 'What if' Carragher hadn't made that last-ditch tackle?
  
Whatever happens in the two remaining games, it's been a hugely impressive season. Since 1992, no team has finished 3rd with a tally as high as 79 points, let alone the 82 still possible. That also includes 42-game seasons, rather than the current 38.
  
The last team to do so was West Ham, with 84 points in 1986, although again that was over 42 games. Not that being the 'best' 3rd-placed side in English league history is an honour the Reds will be celebrating, of course. But it puts things into perspective.
  
Two more wins, and we can all put this marathon season to bed – and hopefully the Reds will pick up where they left off in August.

Pepe Reina has admitted he'd willingly sacrifice equalling a long-standing club record if he can get his hands on the FA Cup in ten days time.  
Reina has settled comfortably into life as Liverpool's number one goalkeeper since his summer switch from Villarreal and now stands just one more clean sheet away from his 34th clean sheet of the season - an achievement not reached since Bruce Grobbelaar in the 1983-84 season.
  
With two more games still to play before the season ends Reina knows the opportunity is there to even break the record, but he insists the most important thing on his mind is celebrating FA Cup glory in Cardiff and finishing the Premiership campaign with victory over Portsmouth.
  
"The clean sheet record is still one of the targets we have, but the most important thing is victory," said Reina.
  
"We have two more games left to do it. Next week is important, but the FA Cup final will be one of the most important games I've ever played.
  
"It's normal my team mates and I are already thinking about the final, but there's still a game left which we must try to win.
  
"It's difficult to think about the Portsmouth game when you know even if you win it's going to be very difficult to finish second.
  
"We are close to United, but we have to be realistic. They will play at home and we know how strong they are at Old Trafford. We must still try to beat Portsmouth, and then from Sunday night we can concentrate only on the final.
  
"People have said to me how winning the FA Cup in England is celebrated just like a Premiership title.
  
"I've also been told all about the stadium and the crowd numbers, and how our supporters will be. If we can win it, we can say we've had a great season."

Liverpool reserve team coach Hughie McAuley admitted he wasn't too despondent with the 2-0 defeat by Manchester City and felt there were a lot of plus points to take from the game.  
In a swirling wind City coped with the conditions better in the first half and led 2-0 at half-time, but the Reds were much improved in the second half and had the chances to force a draw.
  
"We had more control of the game in the second half but we still lacked a little more in the final third of the field," McAuley told Liverpoolfc.tv.
  
"We played well in the second half and showed good character and Danny Guthrie and Besian Idrizaj were unfortunate not to score. City dealt with the conditions a lot better in the first half and put us under a lot of pressure and scored two goals when we were asleep defensively.
  
"Overall it has been a decent season for the reserve team and there has been a lot of plus points. I think all the lads have worked hard and improved."
  
One of the players who has had a very good season has been midfielder Lee Peltier who signed a new contract recently. Peltier has had a full season in the reserve team after being hit by injury problems during the last campaign and has been in impressive form.
  
"Lee Peltier has had a very consistent season in central midfield and is starting to learn the game now," enthused McAuley. "He is a lot more intelligent with his play and he is a good competitor who needs to push on now next season and be one of the main players in the team."
  
McAuley also praised coach Paco Herrera who will be leaving the club and returning to Spain during the summer.
  
"Paco is an excellent coach and is a really good man who I have enjoyed working with very much," McAuley added. "I will be very sorry to see him go."

Robbie Fowler is hoping he's done enough to earn a new Liverpool contract and help the Reds bring the Premiership title to Anfield next season.  
The Liverpool striker is still waiting to hear if he'll be offered a new deal beyond the end of this season but he's desperately hoping his performance against Aston Villa last weekend won't turn out to be his last at Anfield.
  
"It was a touching moment for me when the fans were chanting my name at the end of the game," said Fowler. "But I hope they don't think it was a send-off for me.
  
"I haven't heard anything about a new contract, but I'm still hoping that Saturday won't be my last game at Anfield for Liverpool.
  
"I believe that I have still got something to offer - and I think I've got a few years left in me yet. I've been pleased - and even a bit surprised - with how well it's gone for me since I came back and I think I can build on that.
  
"I've had plenty of interest from other clubs, and I'm told there are some offers on the table, because managers have seen that I can still do it. Scoring a few goals hasn't harmed me.
  
"But all I am interested in is getting a new contract and building on what I have achieved since I came back to Anfield. I've had a terrific time and of course I want to stay here.
  
"These are exciting times at Liverpool. Look at what the manager has achieved since he came here, and the progress the club has made. With a couple of decent signings in the summer there is no doubt the club can challenge for the title next season. You'd have to be mad not to want to be a part of that.
  
"It has always been my dream to win the league with Liverpool and I'd love to stay around and give it a real go."
  
Fowler also insists he's happy with his fitness levels and is confident he has the stamina to play an important role in the club's future.
  
He added: "My fitness seems to be the focus for everyone. When I came back it was pretty tough because I'd been out for a while with injury and I had to work on my fitness.
  
"But I'm happy with how things have gone for me and I feel pretty strong. I feel as good as I have for a long time and I feel as though I'm definitely getting there.
  
"I know my body. I'll be the first to recognise when I'm not up to it."

Daniel Agger played his first game since returning from injury but finished on the losing side as Liverpool Reserves lost 2-0 at Manchester City in their final game of the season.  
The Danish international played the first 45 minutes of the game for the Reds in Paco Herrera's final game in charge of the reserves before he returns home to Spain in the summer.
  
Conditions at the Regional Athletics Stadium in Sportcity were far from ideal and City took advantage of kicking with the swirling wind facing them in the first half. The home side scored both goals in the first half and although Liverpool were much improved in the second period they just couldn't find a way back into the match.
  
Last season Liverpool were thrashed 5-0 by City having been on the end of a 6-0 defeat the previous campaign.
  
Herrera made four changes to the team that beat Manchester United on Sunday with Agger, Danny O'Donnell, Adam Hammill and Ramon Calliste all given starting roles.
  
City made the more lively start to the game and were deservedly into the lead after 22 minutes when O'Donnell held back Ishmael Miller. A penalty was awarded and Miller stepped up to slot past Martin for the opening goal.
  
Liverpool were finding it hard to get going and create any decent openings and City made it 2-0 after 37 minutes when Sun Jihai ran onto a through ball, rounded Martin and slotted home.
  
Agger went close for the Reds after 43 minutes when his blistering 25-yard drive from a free-kick was palmed away by Nicky Weaver. That was to be the Dane's last involvement as he was replaced at half-time by Danny Guthrie.
  
The Reds made a further change on the hour mark when Paul Anderson replaced the disappointing Calliste in attack.
  
Guthrie went close for Liverpool after 64 minutes with a superb curled effort from 25-yards out that landed just wide. Adam Hammill then suffered similar misfortune with a tremendous effort that went just wide. Robbie Foy also went close with a long range drive that just cleared the bar.
Besian Idrizaj went close for the Reds in the closing stages of the game with a fine effort that hit the bar.
  
Looking back it has been a good season for the reserves and Paco Herrera and Hughie McAuley will have seen much to be pleased about. The young guns in the team, 17-year-olds Jack Hobbs, Godwin Antwi, Miki Roque and Paul Anderson have all had excellent campaigns and the foreign players adapted really well to new surroundings. The emergence of the talented winger Adam Hammill has also been a big boost while the consistent displays of Lee Peltier, James Smith and Danny Guthrie have also earned them a lot of plus points.
  
Reds goalkeeper David Martin can be pleased with his contribution too and since his arrival from MK Dons he ended the season with a good record of 10 clean sheets in 13 reserve team starts.
