Carlsberg Don't Do Last Minute Own Goals But If They Did They'd Be The Best Last Minute Own Goals In The World.

As you may sense I am still bitter that Liverpool knocked us out in the quarter finals due to a couple of jammy decisions...YES...but as much as I detest Chelsea, for some reason, the first time ever, I really didn't want Liverpool to win. Weird feeling...perhaps because my best friend is a Liverpool fan and his continuous digs were too much to take when we had our triple leg tie against them and many a Pro game after. Also perhaps because I had layed (bet against) Liverpool to win at home on betfair...Crazy but...Thank you Mr Riise.

However, Chelsea are Chelsea...Cashley is Cashley...so I have realised that no matter who loses this tie, I will be slightly happy. A win-win situation if you will. Preferably once Cashley aka ATM Machine scores an own goal that knocks his beloved Chelsea out of the Champions League. Wanker.

What did I think of the match? B-O-R-I-N-G to be perfectly honest. Chelsea started off better, Liverpool didn't do much in the first half and Mr. Jam himself, Kuyt, finished nicely between Cech's legs after a 'superb' pass. That was pretty much the story of the first half.

Second half was different, Liverpool didn't really allow Chelsea to do anything, they closed down in midfield, didn't allow Malouda to do anything and forced Avram to take Joe Cole off. My friend texted me while the match was going on saying "Drogba doesn't look like he's given up" and "SNAP I didn't realise Lampard was even playing", to which I replied; "Snap I didn't realise Stevey was playing"...to which he replied; "Oh SNAP...I didn't realise Arsenal WEREN'T PLAYING." Scouse bastard.

Riise got confused by a decent ball in by Kalou as Anelka loafed behind, that goal may prove to be as crucial as the Hleb (non-penalty) and Babel's penalty at the end.

Overall probably a fair result in my opinion, even though I didn't think either side really did much at all to deserve anything. So at half time in this tie it is 1-1, Chelsea have an away goal that seems to be rare in this champions league tie and Chelsea play Manchester United on the weekend in their half time break.

Ronaldo to run the show tomorrow in the Nou Camp? If Messi is fit then it may not be. Until tomorrow.

Blessings all...BilZ.

Starting XI - Preview - Arsenal v Liverpool

Good day all. It is difficult to tell what is going to happen today since Liverpool seem to be putting out a weakened side since their only real priority now is the Champions League. It has been reported that Adebayor and Van Persie are injured, but this morning it has been confirmed that Adebayor should be fit enough to play.

I hope that Walcott gets a run out, up front, or in place of Eboue...but I don't know, Wenger has surprised me many a time this season by sticking to Eboue who now has 29 appearances this season with a grand total of ZERO goals from our right midfield. So much for goal scoring midfielders from the days of Pires and Ljungberg.

Anyway, with Adebayor proclaimed fit to play, I expect us to line up a bit like this if Wenger decides to field his 'strongest' eleven for the second time three days:

Almunia
Toure
Senderos
Gallas
Clichy
Eboue
Fabregas
Flamini
Hleb
Adebayor
Walcott/Bendtner

Diaby could be included if Wenger wants to give our key man Eboue a rest, with Walcott switching to the right and Hleb behind Adebayor. We shall find out in an hour’s time.
An unpredictable game, I’m always a bit sceptical when we play in a game that isn't so glamorous as first thought out, like the FA cup tie against United. Both teams will have their heads on Tuesdays game I think.

Let’s hope we have luck on our side today in terms of decisions and Bendtner not making a goal line block for the other team. See you all on the other side. Blessings.
