Liverpool 8 - 0 Besiktas - in which our Footie Bird's closet Scouse sympathy comes to light.

I only got to the pub in the 75th minute to meet with the Footie Geeza yesterday. I still got to see 3 goals.

Peter Crouch helps Liverpool to new heights in record win | European Football - Times Online
Liverpool set a Champions League record last night with an 8-0 victory over Besiktas, the most resounding in the competition in its revised format. They may still require victories in their final two group games to reach the last 16, but an emphatic triumph, the club’s biggest in any competition since 1989 and best in Europe for 27 years, has given their campaign a spectacular, if overdue, kick-start.


Kuyt will still start on Saturday because Rafa is a stubborn bastard. I mean he's right in a way--Crouch is rubbish, but he's on form. Even those 10 minutes he gets to play at the end of the match esin the league he's really looking stellar. BUT HE'S RUBBISH omg it makes my head spin.

Another thing that makes my head spin.

ESPNsoccernet - UEFA Champions League - Valencia v Rosenborg Report
VALENCIA, November 6 (Champions League) - Ronald Koeman's Valencia career got off to a dismal start on Tuesday after visiting Rosenborg stunned his new charges in their Champions League Group B clash at the Mestalla.


HOW THE FUCK DID THAT HAPPEN???? Rosenborg who finished 5th in the Tippeligaen (and my beloved IK Start were relegated), and they beat Valencia twice?!?!? Will Rosenborg benefit next year from the Liverpool rule?? If Porto could win so could Rosenborg haha.

They're being raided by all the big sides of their players after beating big clubs so it'll be interesting to see what happens.

In which our Footie Bird admits a horrible secret

Can I be more thrilled that Liverpool are the only club even relatively safe for advancing in the Champions League?? hah I'd be more thrilled if it were the Mighty City that's for sure..but omg. I have a soft spot for Liverpool. It could be because the Footie Geeza is a supporter. It could be because I dream of a very dirty midfield threesome between Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso, and myself. It's likely because Liverpool supporters hate Manchester United as much as I do--and not because they are neutral ABUs, though the second reason does weigh heavily. Sadly, I didn't get a chance to watch any of the matches this week because of work commitments.

Only two of the matches will be that interesting next week. I think that Milan and Roma might have the hardest trek ahead of them of all the teams (not including PSV lol 3 away goals). Both for the same reason: They are going into really tough stadiums to score against, and they must score and win. Even without the Ginja Ninja(the man to bring Oldham Athletic back to the Premiership), United are going to score at least once at OT, and it's going to be very difficult for Roma to score at all. If Roma can hold United to 1 goal and score they'd advance which gives them an easier time (slightly) than AC Milan

Basically, Milan have to win. A 1-1 draw does them no good (it'd give Bayren winning on AG) and it's going to be really fucking hard for them to score 2 goals in Munich. Also the fact that this is going to be a super high scoring match with Milan on the bitch end, isn't going to help either.

Valencia are going to advance--Chelsea are not going to get the quadrupile (haha), the treble (lollll), or anything else. (Up the Rovers for the FA Cup)

Predictions:

Man United 2 - 1 Roma
Bayren Munich 3 - 1 AC Milan
Chelsea 0 - 1 Valencia
LFC Reserves 15 - 0 PSV (sorry I mean 1-0 Liverpool will sleep)
