Just for those of you who are wondering what last night's posts are about - my team Liverpool won the Champions League last night in one of the most amazing games of football that I've ever seen.
Liverpool have had a pretty poor season playing in the English League but came into their own in Europe's premier competition. They were underdogs in the final and were 3 - 0 down at half time which should have meant that the game was over. 3 goals in quick succession rocked their opponents, Italian giants AC Milan back on their heals and after extra time, with the score locked at 3 - 3, they ran out winners on penalties.
Liverpool are England's most succesful club side and this was their 5th win in the European competition - the previous time was in 1984 however and Liverpool has struggled to recapture former glories. Hopefully this feat - probably the closest comparison I can make for those of an American persuasion is for a wild card entry to win the Superbowl, will be the start of a new Empire.

Excellent game - well done Reds.
Probably would beat the 1999 final if it wasn't for the fact that that was United and they beat Munich (doens't come much sweeter than that).
Still I wonder whether they're going to find a way to let Liverpool defend the title - 'twould be a crying shame if they weren't let in - I say they should take Everton's place...
I was actually tempted to drive up the M62 last night just because I could.
Glorious stuff
I am still surprised that this game hasn't gone the way of the dinosaur. ;)
It probably doesn't go "the way of the dinosaur" because so many people play and love the beautiful game.
