There’s always a next season
After missing a million and one chances Liverpool is out of the Champions League. We did not beat Benfica 2-0 yesterday; we lost 0-2. One can always rely on the infamous Nick Hornby quote: 'I fell in love with football as I was later to fall in love with women: suddenly, inexplicably, uncritically, giving no thought to the pain or disruption it would bring with it'. If you think this quote is just stupid, you don’t really like football.Anyway, I watched the second half with a Finnish friend who is in town at the new O’Learys bar at Stockholm’s central station. We ended up talking to an English guy and I asked him what he thought of Robbie Fowler coming back to Liverpool. His response, “a poor man’s Michael Owen”, still hurts today as our inability to score sent us out of the Champions League. But “there is always a next season”, as a drunk Scotsman once told me at The Halt Bar in Glasgow.

Sorry Eric, men det bästa laget vann i alla fall. Viva Benfica! :-)
Med tanke på Benficas fina historia och Teresas support under finalen förra året när Liverpool vände mot Milan, så lovar jag att hålla en tumme för Benfica framöver...
SLB, SLB, Glorioso SLB!
Great match at Anfield, great goals, I think we were the best team in the two matches.
Sorry Eric...
Abraço!

Tomé! It's ok, I have always liked Benfica and I wish you all the best of luck in the next round. Since you are facing Barcelona, I guess you need it.
