May is the dawning of the much-heralded ‘business end to the season', the fitting climax to the sweat, tears and bloodshed which have been sacrificed to guarantee a euphoric finale. It is the curtain-fall that differentiates the genuine victors from the once-threatening aspirants and creates an opportunity to watch mesmerising history unfold in front of our very own eyes.

There's just too many interesting responses to yesterday's match to include in my daily, so I'll do separate post in a bit.
Once again Paul Anderson was the hero yesterday as his goal with 12 minutes to go in regulation saved the Swans from certain defeat at Millwall. The 19-year-old on-loan winger scored the equalizer to make it 2-2 at the New Den after the Lions had come back from a goal deficit to take the lead. Click to continue reading...

Here it is:
Reina
Aurelio
Carragher
Hyypia
Arbeloa
Riise
Mascherano
Gerrard
Benayoun
Voronin
Crouch
Bench:
Martin
Kuyt
Babel
Finnan
Torres
Kewell
Lucas
I guess Kewell is playing the part of the super-sub. No excuses for Crouch today, he either performs or drops in the ranks again. Click to continue reading...

Well, it's do or die time, we either win tomorrow or put our Champions League aspirations behind us. I like how Rafa is approaching this match by stating that there is no pressure on himself or the team to advance past the group stage. Whether it's true or not is irrelevant, but a loss at Anfield to BeÅŸiktaÅŸ would be embarassing.
With that said, I truly think we'll run rampant tomorrow and win by at least two goals. Click to continue reading...

Well, this is disappointing news. Apparently Harry Kewell is not in-line to start today at Blackburn and may not even play nonetheless. Rafa has said that he will be extra cautious in integrating the Aussie into the first-team. This may be a ploy by Benitez, but I doubt it. To be honest, King Harry looked oddly spent within minutes of taking the field against Cardiff on Wednesday. Click to continue reading...

Two things on the front page of the official site, Liverpoolfc.tv, are giving me the chills. First, Pepe Reina looks like a cold-blooded vampire who's spotted a fresh drink of blood. Seriously, he's got crazy eyes. Also, if you click on the related article, 'Pepe proud to equal record', he thanks everyone in the defense for helping him achieve the clean sheet record except Jamie Carragher!

Is there any greater club tournament than the UEFA Champion's League? The only one I think comes close is Copa Libertadores, but still, Europe is king. What started out as 60 qualifying hopefuls has dwindled down to 16 and now they will join the 16 other clubs that have already been patiently awaiting their group stage fate. Earlier today the drawing for the group stages was held in Monaco and per usual a lot of interesting and exciting matches will be coming our way in the near future, so let's get started.
