Chelsea will go on to Moscow...

yes.. the above is not a joke or bluff... i support Liverpool, love them to e bits.. which is why i know they won't be going to Moscow nxt month... if they played well and lost im fine wif that.. but to give away a goal from ur own player is hard to swallow.

has Liverpool had it coming?? one will understand the anguish that a certain manager was pounding his fist to e ground some weeks back. playing at home first in a 2-legged game is always tricky... provided u dun allow ur opponent to leave e ground wif a away goal, then it be easier to go thru e tie. for now, Avram Grant is smiling... Benitez disappointed.. me?? thousands miles from England.. swallowing a bitter bitter pill.

Liverpool last won at Stamford Bridge was in season 2003-04 when Houllier still in charge. Benitez record against Chelsea since he took over???

one league win. one FA CUP semi-final win. 2 CL wins. all of which was not in London. final showpiece in Moscow, home city of Roman Abramovich.. wld anyone of u think Liverpool wld stand any chance to progress??

the REDS have to score at least once to cancel out Riise own goal. last league meeting ended 0-0, lost 0-2 in Carling Cup. all at Stamford Bridge...

this game is as gd as over for e REDs... in addition to e backroom squabble... jus can't wait e season to end now...

i go vegetarian for a month if Liverpool can progress to e final which right now i think is impossible.

i LOVE Liverpool FC and which is y im so honest and confident.
