Normal service resumes from Tomorrow
Apologies for going AWOL since that night at Anfield... It's all a drunken blur now but I won't bore you with the match reports of the Semi-Final Second leg (Although the sight of Maureen, Terry, Fat Frank and Eidur crying at the end was priceless - not even Roman could buy that!). I will however link to some of the best articles I have come across on the interweb:
Tactical Genius, Rafa Benitez
Liverpool are BACK!
What newspapers say of Liverpool's Win over Chelski
I watched the game at Biggles, a WW2 themed pub near the Dubai Airport, with some other scouse supporters and I have to admit the rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' at the end of the controversial 6-minute extra time ('The ref was a mate of mourinho' - Carra) brought a tear to my eyes alongwith the rest of the supporters as we stood up and joined the chorus.
Despite Chelsea and many media denials to the contrary about Anfield’s atmosphere on big European nights affecting opposition players, most pundits missed the point; it may indeed not faze some of the opposition, but ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ is more than just a song, but a link through history and an extra lift to the players. Hence, Jamie Carragher providing a 10 out of 10 performance.
I would like to give a big shout out for the much-maligned Djimi Traore. Not for his defensive heroics, but for the perfectly-executed right elbow onto Eidur 'I didn't dive to get your man booked, honest' Gudjohnsen. Thankfully the ref didn't see it, but that was justice done, Djimi style.
The next 3 days were at the Arabian Travel Mart, meetings with marketing directors from Nakheel, Emaar, Jumeirah International, Dubai Tourism among others. FVW Germany (a publication that we represent in the region) had a booth and I took our International sales co-ordinator Sabrina out for a drink to Irish Village last night. It's probably the best pub you'll get in the Middle East. It has a nice little garden where the irish band plays all night. I literally FORCED them to sing 'YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE' after they sneakily tried to ignore the first couple of requests. There's also a handy pond available for a quick dip to wash away the beer - Kinda reminds me of the pubs along the bank at Richmond. You won't feel like you're not in a European country.
Anywayz, back to Football, a lot has happened since THAT goal at anfield. The referee has since stood by his decision that the ball went in. Not to forget, he is the only man in the perfect position to see it since TV replayed seemed inconclusive. Mourinho the cunt has been bitching about it not having crossed the line. The man has a history of lying and cheating and I'm glad its all starting to come back to haunt him. What matters is, we're through and Chelski ain't.
In european context, its the best thing that could've happened cuz in european context, who the fuck are chelsea anyway?
Steven Gerrard has hinted he'll stay at Liverpool. Surprise surprise! Never thought he'd be dumb enough to leave for Chelski after what happened at Anfield.
In the end, congratulations once again to ALL liverpool supporters and all those nuetrals who favored liverpool and have left messages on my blog - Thank you for your generous support. Liverpool fans are special, and that fact was ackowledged by all sports writers after watching them blow the roof off Anfield. Here's a collection of whats been said in the press: Mama, We're All Famous Now

BREAKING NEWS 'Hypocritical' FA Now Go Mute
The FA are refusing to comment after apparently being shown to be hypocrites in the row over CL eligibility. Having stated that Pool wouldn't qualify even as winners, it's been pointed out that last year the FA said: "Should Arsenal or Chelsea win the CL, they will automatically qualify next season"
Watch this space - as I'll be putting up a Gallery of some more of the most memorable images from that famous night at Anfield. (including Riise in his underpants - still don't know what the fuck that was about but it has proved to be great for caption contests)

Sean, you're a red at heart and yes from now, for shedding that tear, you're accepted as an honorary scouser. Well done!
This can't have effect in actual fact, that is exactly what I consider.
