Amazing quarter finals!! And mouth watering matches!!

On Tuesday morning, yeah, really early in the morning, I woke up to watch the game between Chelsea & Liverpool.. Gosh, that's gotta be the one of the best Champion League match ever (we still got MU's & Liverpool's miracle comebacks in 1999 and 2005 respectively) , even thou I support neither.. 4-4.. Who would have guessed Liverpool came so close to make another comeback, after all they are famous for it.. A cheeky free kick and a penalty gave Liverpool a 2-0 lead at halftime and I was thinking Chelsea is going to be dumped out (I dunno, I just wanted them out).. Then a goalkeeper's error, a stunning free kick and a Lampard goal, Chelsea were looking at 3-2 with 20 mins to go which put them 6-3 on aggregate.. Oh well, Liverpool is doomed.. I was like I wanted to sleep ady, about to switch off the remote when they took off Torres, and wouldn't u believe it, 2 goals from Liverpool in the space of 3 minutes set the pulse racing again.. OMG!! Liverpool is either a team full of surprises or it's just Chelsea terrible defending, it happened against Bolton last Sat.. Was thinking maybe Liverpool might sneaked it after all, one goal is all they need.. However it was not to be, a Frank Lampard special and game over Liverpool.. Final score, 4-4 but it'll go down as one of the best Champion's League games in history..

And this morning, MU became the first team to beat Porto at thier home ground.. I tell u all must really watch Ronaldo's goal.. Simply amazing.. It was like 35 yards out when he shot that unstopable shot.. Even I was stunned, one moment the ball was there, next it was in the back of the net.. That is why he is the World Player of the Year, that is why Real Madrid wants to purchase him at ridicolous prices and well, that's about that.. So now the semi final's line up is all so interesting.. Another all English affair, Manchester United vs. Arsenal.. And this is where I say BALIKLAH ARSENAL!! The other is another mouth watering fixture, Chelsea vs. Barcelona.. Another repeat of last year's finals is on the cards, but I prefer MU to battle out with Barcelona which will be a repeat of last year's semi final.. If Arsenal by some luck got into the final, then a Arsenal - Barcelona final like in 2006 is on the cards.. Anyway, it's guaranteed to be a blast..

And let's not forget this weekends FA Cup semi final matches, between Arsenal - Chelsea and MU - Everton.. Got a sneaky feeling somebody is going to play each other twice in a final.. MU - Chelsea for both FA Cup and Champion's League final? That'll be mind blowing.. =D

GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED!!
AND THE REDS GO MARCHING IN!!
QUINTUPLE HERE WE COME!!
