Chelsea v Liverpool. Only in England!


OK, so explain that if you can! Tonight should have been a non event, Chelsea were as good as through to the semi final and Liverpool, without Gerrard, surely had to focus on hunting down the Mancs in the Prem. And what happens? Two teams packed with experienced players went out and played like a bunch of kids on a Sunday afternoon. You could explain it if this was a game between two teams of Brits, but there were only 3 Englishmen on the pitch! So why, why?

All credit to both clubs. I have posted why I hate Liverpool FC and nothing will change that, but tonight they went to Chelsea and went one better than the mighty Bolton Wanderers managed on Saturday. Four goals at the Bridge! What a shame for the Scousers that Chelsea scored four of their own in reply! But what a joy for the neutral! 4-4 on the night and 7-5 on aggregate, that doesn't happen outside of Roy of the Rovers comic strips! Even my son, who has taken Aldershot to the Prem on his Playstation 3, was calling the game "stupid"!

Mad, crazy, breathtaking, hilarious - you name it. And what a great goal from Lampard to nail the result for Chelsea! Come on you Hammers, put jealousy to one side and applaud both teams for a great game of headless football!

I don`t know about the Jealousy thing, but it was a great game of football. Not too sure about the picture though!!!
Liverpool turned up wanting a win & Chel$ki thought all they had to do was turn up. I`m not sure what their manager said to them @ half time but by Christ did it work!!!
Good game

Good game, good game. Alright Brucie? Thanks for looking in! Nice to see you, to see you nice. You get nothing for a pair, not in this game!

Great game. Better team over 2 legs went through. But how do those so called fans who booed their team off at h/t feel now.? And what about those flags - totally embarrasing

Hammersfan said...

I missed the flags. What's that about?

There was me thinking, once again, that this was a West Ham blog

Anon 22.51, if you don't like the site, stop looking in and complaining. No, hang on, keep clocking up the hits. If I introduce advertising, you could end up putting money in my pocket! Funnily enough, West Ham play football and, well, er, Chelsea and Liverpool play er, er, cricket?, no, er, er, baseball? no, er, er...that's it, football! Can you spot the link?

Great game... How Alonso didn't make the shortlist for Player of the Year I don't know

Hammersfan said...

Amazing to think that Benitez was trying to offload him in the summer. How is Lampard not in Player of the Year? I think he has been brilliant all season. Typical that he scored twice in this key game.

apache said...

Yep, I agree, I think Alonso and Lampard have both been brilliant this season, carrying their team at times.
