Liverpool, the team, I support plays Chelsea in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final. The semis, as usual, are turning out to be cracking matches.
Liverpool didn't play well in the first half against Chelsea and went down a goal. The second half was a different story and they dominated possession in search of that vital away goal.
Tuesday, Chelsea has to visit our house (Anfield) and I hope that the crowd, and the spirit of Liverpool makes a difference. It'll be a difficult challenge, made a bit easier by the likely absence of Chelsea's best defender, Ricardo Carvalho (who set up their goal at Stamford Bridge).
We have a good chance of repeating the great Championship run of 2005 and possibly having an all-English final. Actually, I would prefer that we play AC Milan again because I'm not sure it's healthy for the game to have an all-England final.
Whatever the outcome, all four teams are worthy of the Championship. Though one could wish that Mourinho (Chelsea's coach) wasn't so damn grating.
