Liverpool/Everton FA Cup semi at Wembley. Nice!

Note on a Liverpool board when Everton had to go to a replay with Sunderland:

"Wait til they find out we've booked all the trains, buses, and taxis!"

Both sides need something to lift them up a bit right now.

How do you get 90,000 Liverpudlians to Wembley?

It would be great if we could do just that!

Turn back the clock or bring back the Beatles?

Hoosier Titan · April 03, 2012, 10:14:09 PM

Both! We only have two Beatles left, and those of us who remember them the first around wouldn't mind turning back the clock.

I have to say that having had the music of the 60's and early 70's comes as close as anything can to making being old worth it!

I think I would like to turn back the clock, just to enjoy everything I rushed through the first time around.

Peter Crouch scored this amazing goal against Man City a couple weeks ago. This snappy video provides the evidence, and just the kind musical accompaniment I've come to expect from the land over the pond.

On another note, its been a good couple weeks for former Liverpool strikers......not so much for current Liverpool strikers. $:-\$

Also its become pretty commonplace watching Man City games to eventually see their fans crying at some point in the game, usually after conceding another goal. Such as this

or this

Which prompted this brilliant message from a young Man City fan who has no doubt not yet felt the weight and pain of living in ManU's shadow for decades. Ah, youth.

Poor City fans. They had such high hopes just a few short weeks ago.

Goes to show, its tough to build a championship team around the headcases such as Mario Bolatelli and Carlos Tevez...

And after watching Paul Scholes score his 3rd goal since re-joining the club from out of retirement, it doesn't look like as much of a desperation signing as Patrick Vierra made it out to be after all. This clip of Fergie's reaction to Vieira's comments is priceless:

Liverpool escaped disaster in more way than one this afternoon.

3-2 winners at lowly Blackburn on a late winner by Andy Carroll after leading 2-0.

But the story was back-up GK Doni being sent off with a straight red meaning he's banned from this weekends FA Cup semi-final. Pepe Reina is already banned after picking up a red card vs Newcastle last week. Third choice keeper Brad Jones filled in admirably today in his Premier League debut for Liverpool, though he gave up a PK and earned a yellow card himself. Liverpool was within a judgement call by the ref from having all 3 keepers unavailable for the FA Cup semi-final.

Watched the FA Cup semi this afternoon. Good to see Andy Carroll get his moment finally. Not the greatest game.

I think Tottenham will win on Sunday.

Chelsea 5 Tottenham 1 --prediction fail!!!

Actually it was a pretty good game until Chelsea scored a third then Lampard unleashed a wicked free kick, and it all kind of fell apart for Spurs.

great and unique view

Big Andy worked his socks off for that. He muffed a couple of chances before that but he kept working and it finally came good for him. He had a similar game-winner against Blackburn a few days earlier; that one was great because the 'pool were down to 10 men. Andy defended well.

The previous two goals on Sunday--one for each side--were due to defensive miscues on the part of the center backs. Agreed, not a great game. A great day for Merseyside in London, though.
