Liverpool’s loss of form over recent months is nothing short of incredible. Since Liverpool hit the top of the table there was only one way they could have gone, but no one would have predicted that they would have fallen so quickly, and it quite such a dramatic fashion.
However, I feel that I might have stumbled across the answers. Gerard Houllier and Phil Thompson have been replaced by robots.
I also know who did it.
Christian Gross.
Yes, I can see the bepuzzlement in your tiny faces. I can hear those exclamations, so I guess I’d better explain.
Christian Gross is the manager of FC Basle, the club that knocked Liverpool out of the Champions League. The weekend before this tie, Liverpool suffered a defeat at Middlesborough. It is thought that it was before this game that Houllier and Thompson were replaced. It has been confirmed by officials at MFC that there were representatives from Basle present.
So what happens when Liverpool get to Basle? They seem to be under poor instruction, and go 3-0 down. It was only once Sammy Lee starting hurling coins at the players with instructions written on them that they begun to perform, and clawed their way back to 3-3. Unfortunately this wasn’t enough, Liverpool went out of the cup as Basle claimed second spot.
So why weren’t Liverpool’s managers switched back?
Well, it appears that getting his current team into the next round was merely a bonus of a much greater plan that Christian Gross, who is also qualified as a Doctor of Evil, has been plotting since he managed in England.
Tottenham was not a happy time for Gross. His team of flops constantly showed him to be a complete muppet. As such a hatred begun to develop deep within his evil heart. A heart for Tottenham, and all that’s associated with them. Anything that Gross could do to upset Tottenham fans, he would do.
It is believed by many that Christian Gross was one of Arsene Wenger’s secret sources (not to be confused with Colonel Saunder’s Secret Sauce) that enabled him to find his lost mojo, and bring Arsenal back on track this season, because there’s nothing a Tottenham fan hates more than Arsenal success. Seeing Liverpool riding high in the league was a problem. If Arsenal could again win the league, Spurs supporters would be gutted. Liverpool had to be removed from the picture.
Manchester United supporters ought to be trembling with fear when Gross brings his Basle team to Old Trafford later in the year, no doubt they’ll be out to simply injure United’s best players.
Allegations that Christian Gross drugged the tea of the Tottenham players before their FA Cup humiliation at the hands of Southampton can neither be confirmed nor denied.

Good theory.
Incidentaly Ronbot commentator is currently under trial: it has a titanium shelled body, a positronic brain and is resplendant in naff jewellery. Although programmed in over 4 million forms of communication it has only been heard to utter phrases like "bomb along the wing", "he's got to knock it into the big lad" and "Can I go large please?" in Bulgarian.

Incredible theory!!
How on Earth did you figure this out???
I was just about to ask you "What about United?" when I suddenly realised that Basle are in our Champions' League group next-month... *GULP*
Fergie's not that different to a robot anyway.
All you'd have to do is program it to chew for 90 minutes, and then look at his watch every 5 seconds untill the final whistle is heard, and we would never know the difference! :)

Lol, nice one.

Some great thoughts there, especially the coin hurling with instructions written on them.
