If he had meant it, it was a bloody good goal.
But unfortunately, John Arne Riise didn't want to see the ball in the back of his own net. I just could not believe what he did; it was the last play of the match, all he had to do was kick the ball into touch, it fell to his knees, why did he header it? The general feeling amongst Liverpool fans is that it was a freak accident and Riise is a popular enough player to live it down. The Reds now face a hard task in trying to win at Stamford Bridge next week to qualify for the Champion's League final, but I hope they can do it. After all, Chelsea will have to put out a strong team this weekend to play Manchester United in what is effectively the Premier League decider. Liverpool on the other hand, do not have much pressure on their weekend game, so it would be no surprise if Rafa Benitez rested the key players for the second leg whereas Chelsea's key men might be tired from playing so much intense football.

The Manchester United V Barcelona semi final was a bit of a bore. After Ronaldo missed his early penalty, you knew his team were going to struggle. Barcelon outplayed their rivals and were unlucky not to score. Edwin Van Der Sar was United's saviour. I can see the spanish side winning the second leg 1-0.

For those of you wondering why I study the mystery that is Barney Curley, I will provide you with a little snippet of the enigma:
