Class game by Barca, a deserved win in my eyes.

Messi was better. If we had had a striker like Thierry Henry at Liverpool, we would do well. He can play alone quite well and he has pace and trickery. Changing subject again, it was good to see Chelsea lose tonight!

Are you sure that's what you meant?

I'd say he went for the ball and didn't see Sisqo go for it with the head. Fair enough. Just hope Sisqo is back soon as he seemed to be having a good game so far. Things can only get better for the home tie :thumb:

Someone clone Thierry Henry and we'll be set for some league titles.

Boring game, although a 0-1 isn't impossible to get back from. Great freekick move by Benfica as the defence was taken by surprise. I can't recall seeing Rafa so pissed as he looked after the goal came, I am glad I'm not the one he'll be looking at in the dressing room. The good thing is that Liverpool have to attack at Anfield from the go, gonna be a much more interesting setting for that game than this.

Houllier did well to acquire Markus Babbel back then and even if he started poorly in the red shirt he certainly did well during the season. I'd go for Babbel because he was solid defensively and he scored many goals for a back. Steve Finnan has grown immensely in my eyes though.

That is a very good reply.

Ahem, and Cisse coming on as the obligatory guest appearance he's accustomed to.

Eheheheh, Arsene Wenger never sees when one of his own players does a nasty tackle and they used to do that a lot in the championship-winning era of some years ago. Not saying that they don't do it now (obviously...), but what goes around comes around

Natural ups and downs shouldn't be too unexpected, come March and out we might be look better again.

Well it certainly isn't going our way at the moment, Black February has started for us. One would hope that they pick themselves up for the CL matches with Benfica at least.

They won most of the 2nd balls yesterday, Makelele and Essien did a good job at that.

He looked alright from the little bits I saw, although judging him against an Arsenal defence of dubious quality isn't too relevant.

If that is the cribs show on mtv with nancy dell'Olio, I saw the show with Robbie Savage. Unfortunately. That plasticated woman looks s*** and so is that program. One of the worst things I've seen.

When you make millions, you too could probably afford to bleach your teeth!

I'd say Reina's handling of corners and crosses has improved quite a bit since the last post about him I bothered to reply to.

He'd do good for cleaning the white out of the Anfield turf.

This I can agree with, he is the same player now as he was when he joined Pool. And that right foot of his is so weak a wooden leg would be just as good, nay better. Many players might be like him, but that right leg is particularly visible in certain situations. His workrate saves him a fair bit though.

I think not.

Yeah, I figured some perv might say something like that Well, no it is a dog, a rottweiler in fact.

Eh, rightclick your mouse and choose save target as...

I'd say Harry fell over a tad easy. In my opinion that was a pretty doubtful red card, but I was playing with the dog when it happened.
