Our futbol, finds itself (and I am paraphrasing here) strangled and bereft of the timing that enabled the means... Posted by danielmorales · Comments (0) Topics: Champions League 2008

Pool draw blue all

01:53 PM, Monday, 28 April 2008

This had the feeling of end of season fare from us, It was another case of giving the B team a run out. Therefore I'm not going to waste too much time posting about it. The few notable points were the comeback, Pennant and Insua. To be 2 goals down with 30 mins to go and to fight back for a...

Ginger blunder

01:16 PM, Wednesday, 23 April 2008

I'm sure Riise didn't mean it, but if only he had a right foot, he would have been able to lash it clear rather than head it into his...

Sometimes second gear is all you need. It was all we needed against Fulham on Saturday. If ever there was a championship team in waiting, Fulham is it. We were able to rest a god few of the first team and we still got a 2-0 win away from home. But the credit here has to go down to...

Round three: Game set and match - it's a knockout

01:40 PM, Wednesday, 09 April 2008

It's been described as a modern day classic and it's hard to argue with that. 6 goals and some incredible football from both teams, along with a cracking atmosphere gave us a night to remember in Anfield. This is going to go down in the history books alongside the victories over Chelsea,...
