      Hope Steve and the rest of the Anfield faithful have a smile on their faces after the game tonight. Tough call, but I have a sneaking feeling that they can get to the final again.

      If you’re stranded in the pub Steve, will all those Blues let you watch it???

        Think they’ll need that luck Bob – Messi seems to have found his mojo again just at the wrong time for LFC.  I recokon an exciting couple of ties whatever the result, with a fair few goals (so expect two nil-nils and penalties!). I watched Ajax last night and was very impressed – especially first half. Not a given they will get past Spurs but as a neutral I don’t mind who gets to the final or wins as long as it aint Spurs.

          Yes I can understand that BL, but why does every other London team supporter hate Spurs? I always found as a neutral and a Forest supporter, that Arsenal was a rubbish away game. All their fans had this superior attitude, as if the old Highbury was some sort of superior ground to every other stadium on the planet. Upton Park and the Den, I loved, but then I liked the old East End.

          QPR brings back a great memory:

          Among our crowd that travelled down was a real idiot who just could not keep his lip zipped, especially amongst police escorts. At one League Cup replay, we were streaming down South Africa Road and into the tunnel, with 4 mounted coppers escorting us. The idiot says “That horse is mare.” Copper says “No it’s a Gelding.” “Has to be a mare, there’s a  (c***) halfway up it’s back!” The copper made his horse lean its huge backside into the idiot, who spent the game in a police box under the stand and missed Forest thrashing QPR on their own ground. You just cannot afford to have some fans travel with you, they attract trouble.

            Bob I don’t hate Spurs – but I know a few of them and the thought of them winning it doesn’t bear thinking about I’d never hear the end of it. A lot of younger West Ham fans seem to have invented a rivalry with Spurs which I don’t get at all – their rivals are Arsenal and ours is Millwall (I’d also have Chelsea in front of Spurs – and there’s no real beef at all between West Ham and Arsenal). Interesting hat you say about Arsenal, not the first time I’ve heard of it but not experienced it personally. Probably Herbert Chapman, the Marble Halls of Highbury and all that.

              Strange game. I think we played well, they was just more clinical. I don’t hold out much hope now. If we would of got an away goal I’d of been more positive.

              But you never know.

                Yeah that’s how I saw it Duke. Even 2 would have been manageable but blimey what a free kick for the third. No way did 3-0 reflect the game though. Your boys should have scored at least one and probably two. Difficult to see Barca not scoring at Anfield which would make it nigh on impossible (and its a stretch already). They were saying on the radio Spurs played a lot worse but are still bang in their tie wheres as yours played a lot better yet they are all but out. Funny old game!

                    Watching the game, I honestly believed for a good while that Liverpool were going to score at least twice. Well I forgot about Messi, the little genius. It will take some doing for Liverpool to score four and keep a clean sheet for the return fixture, but we have seen Liverpool overcome odds before: I don’t think this team knows when it’s beaten.

                    Now, if only Messi could go down with a short, debilitating illness…

                      He seems to suffer with that “rolling around” illness.
