Where do you begin to put the events of the last 24 hours into some semblance of order ? From the euphoria of again winning through on penalties to reach our 7th European Cup Final to then realise with a certain amount of dread that we could potentially be playing our arch rivals in a foreign capital city with 80K + fans mingling together who aren't exactly on each others Christmas Card list ! 

It would have been an unpoliceable fixture IMO and I had deep reservations about going. For those who don't actually attend football games these days you may have fallen for the "product" that SKY and the Premier League have manufactured but all the stuffed animal mascots, hyped up PA Announcers, manic commentators and face painted kids watching football these days doesn't hide the fact that there are some pretty messed up people still intent on hurting the opposition fans (and by that I don't mean signing a big centre forward) ! 


I was actually more nervous tonight about the Milan/United game than I was last night stood on the KOP !  Alas I worried for nothing, worry is such a wasted emotion !   

Milan now await and a cautionary tale for Milan might be that thoughts of revenge from 2005 doesn't help you perform on the night, just ask Chelsea 

Talking of Chelsea I think Rick Parry (Chief Executive at LFC ) summed it up adequately when he subliminally reacted to Maureen's taunts that we are a "Small Club" and a "Cup Side" by congratulating CFC on the return their £500 million pounds investment has returned this season, namely the Carling Cup !   Mourinho doesn't seem to have realised that he is becoming a caricature of himself and naively allows himself to be drawn in by the hacks that purport to be journalists. They light his touch-paper, stand back and watch him go off with his incomprehensible rambles.

Last night was as good as I've ever experienced on the KOP but to be honest it was rocking all over the stadium. Even the "Waldorf and Stadler" characters that tend to congregate in the Centenary stand were up for it last night and the sight of 40,000 Scousers going divvy twirling their scarves had to be seen and heard to be believed. 


The game itself was high on emotion and atmosphere but low on quality with few chances created although of them, Liverpool created the most and deserved to go through. Kuyt's "Offside" goal seemed harsh at the time especially as me, my mate Mark and his 12 year old daughter Emily were going mental for a full minute before noticing the assistants flag.   I broke my golden rule when it comes to my "routine" when we score as I always first look at the linesman , then the Ref  to see if their running back to the halfway line then the players before going divvy and temporarily losing all rationale ! Lets just content ourselves that it didn't happen to Chelsea as we would still be hearing about it in 10 years time !!!!   

A word about the enigmatic Rafa Benitez. It's rather ironic that in an all seater stadium he was the only person seated when the penalties were being taken. The man is gaining "Shankley-esque" status on Merseyside and that in itself is the highest honour he could be granted.

So Athens awaits for Milan and Liverpool in a repeat of the 2005 final. I believe Milan have 6 European Cups so in the interest of parity I think it would only be fair to allow Liverpool their 6 as well to redress the imbalance but something tells me Milan aren't likely to be so gregarious !

gerrard vs kaka...titanic battle! go on gerrard! you need to raise your game!

[maguskwt]

if the game goes into penalties again i'd like to see if how milan cope with it given what happened in 2005. i have a feeling they'll be practicing alot of penalties!

[Ola Mr Benitez]

I think the differnce between us and Man Utd is the way the managers set up their team. AF will always set up his team to beat the opposition wheras Rafa will set up his team to cancel out the threat from the opposition and then score on the break.  Milan are the favourits, but Rafa will set his team up not to get beat, knowing we have the quality to go out and score.

Tactics have to be right have to be right and with Rafa at the healm, you know Liverpools tactics WILL be right on the night.

I agree with this.

I think it will be far tighter than 2005.

Both teams have improved since then, maybe not Milan's forwards but definitely the midfield ,whereas Liverpool are stronger in every position.

100th post here btw. I think I deserve legend status.

It's going to be a very tough game. I'm sure AC Milan will be out for "revenge".

It's going to be a good one though. If we win then great, if not, then at least Man Utd and Chavski won't either.

Milan has another key player besides Kaka, their "deep laying playmaker" who sits in the role akin to a defensive midfielder but often begins their forward movements - Pirlo. He hardly does tackle anyone and this is a key point to upset his game, shackle him and rattle him and deny any time and space he may have to start moves to the irrepressible Kaka and we will be in with a mighty shout.

[akumaface]

I had mentioned before history will repeat itself. So, I was mentioning I wouldn't surprise if we play AC Milan again because history will repeat itself as we will win again for the sixth time! Go Red GO!
