Who gives a toss about the Arsenal.

Couldn't agree more! I was even cheering Bayern last night as well! Felt very odd cheering for the German's but fully justified if you ask me

One of those problems with the "Shock! Big boys lost" games. Nobody else gets a look in. I'm really pleased Liverpool won (and that's coming from a Man Utd fan). Just need Man U and Chelsea to win tonight. If that's the case, you can bet tomorrow's papers / radio will still be talking about the gooners!

I defiantly hope Man Utd lose but i am not too bothered how Chelsea do as long as they pick up a few injuries.

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? ARE YOU???



Entertaining games from what I hear. Chelsea were unlucky, and Inter deserved the win. Lets see what happens in a couple of weeks time. Here's cheering Liverpool for Sunday.

Bring back Tim Howard!!!
He made one mistake this season and is dropped, Carrol has made many in very important games

Neither keeper has been in particularly good form this season. Having said that - it's all relative. 2nd in the league - 1 loss in how many games before this one? and that was against Chelsea. Could be worse - we could be the gooners and have "Germany's finest" Lehman. Germany must be in a bad way if people reckon he's their number 1 keeper lol

Well we will beat you in the Champions League final so you have only got the Premiership to worry about!

Anyway heres some pictures I took yesterday in Cardiff on my phone!

Rafa on the outside of the stadium:

1000s of Liverpool fans gathering before going into the stadium:

Just 2 of the 7 or 8 footballs being kicked about by the City Arms:

Flags attached to the NCP carpark:

A Chelsea flag/scarf seller tried to make there way with there stall through the Red fans....needless to say within about 1 minute all there scarfs/flags and hats and been thrown into the air and then...

and the smoke from the bonfire of Chelsea stuff:

Then some guys with a big framed picture of Rafa Benitez came through the crowd! Ra-Ra-Rafa Benitez, Ra-Ra-Rafa Benitez..........

The view from the steps of the stadium:

Inside:

Floating badges!:

After the match...unfortunatly:

With just 10 minutes left those fireworks and lights could so easily have been red! oh well...roll on the Champions League final!

My team Norwich City threw away a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 at home to Manchester City. Robert Green was to blame, me thinks. :crying
