Shevchenko
I'm really looking forward to the football on the television over the next couple of days — 3 English clubs in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and what will, I hope, be an all-English final.
As is traditional, I'd like to see Liverpool stuff Chelsea tonight and send the soulless millionaires home; indeed, it would be highly amusing if Chelsea only won one trophy this year, instead of the 4 they might currently be able to win.
To steady myself (for Chelsea are in quite a strong position following their 1–0 victory at Stamford Bridge last week), I'm taking refuge in the fact that, when Liverpool won the Champion's League in 2005, the man that missed the penalty that mean they'd won it was Andriy Shevchenko — now, of course, of Chelsea. It's small, slightly tenuous beer, for sure... but I'm sticking with it anyway.
As for tomorrow, I'm confident Manchester United will score more goals than they'll concede (in true Real Madrid fashion), leaving us with a classic Manchester United versus Liverpool final — the winner of which will be... revealed next time.
