Chelsea 1 Liverpool 0 : It could be worse, right?

Isn't EVERYONE tired of this already? Chelsea vs Liverpool in a Cup knock-out tie?

And what type of luck has Liverpool had lately? Meeting Arsenal all the darn time in domestic cups and then getting Chelsea AGAIN in a Champions League tie.

And Chelsea is a goal up after the first leg. Bleeargh. The entire season is being set up for a Chelsea vs Man Utd show-down on three fronts; we are right on track with that.

So I tell myself: it's only one goal, it could have been worse and at least Liverpool has the Anfield home ground advantage for the second leg. I don't know if it's going to be enough. Hopefully Benitez really has something else up his sleeve because the hand they played this morning was not that convincing.

All this after Jordin sang You'll Never Walk Alone on American Idol, and sang it not very well. It's enough to make a Liverpool fan grumpy. Let's just hope nobody decides to sing 'Ring of Fire' on AI in two weeks' time. It is just as well that they have already done the country music theme.
