Liverpool vs Arsenal at Anfield......What a game
Last year when the two sides met in the Champions league quarterfinals it was a thriller with the game swingin one way and then the other. Liverpool finally won 4-2 sending them into the semis.
With this in mind I sat down to watch the game hoping I don't get the adrenaline rush watching the game last year and the week before when Liverpool drew 4-4 with Chelsea another heart stopper.
The game began and Liverpool were brilliant and created wonderful chances and i was thinkin in my head its only gonna be a matter of time before they score.
Then came the first rush of blood to the head. Some stupid defending and Arshavin scored for Arsenal. At halftime I was still positive that the reds could nick this one.
After halftime Torres and Benayoun scored right away and I was rejoicing. Then came the second rush of blood to the head. Some more sloppy defending and Arshavin scored a beauty.
2-2 and I was still hopeful while all the Manu fans round me were over the moon.
It got worse when some more horrid defending gave ARshavin his Hatrick. Liverpool were trailing 2-3 and the title was slipping away.
Hope. Torres with another beauty made it 3-3. The mood in the room was filled with tension. All the United fans hoping that Arsenal score again and the liverpool fans hoping that we score again.
90 minutes were up and it was still 3-3. From a Liverpool corner Theo Walcott picked up the ball and started sprinting his ass off. Frankie next to me immediately says this is gonna be a goal.
I couldnt believe my eyes as Arshavin scored his fourth of the night. The Manu fans were jumping in joy and I was in depair with hands over my head.
But knowing Liverpool they're fighters and back they came with another goal.
4-4. Incredible.
Thats the way it finished and Although Utd fans were smiling at the end of it. That yet could prove to be a decisive point.
Im sure all the neutrals would have enjoyed it.

The comeback kings
April 14 2009
Venue: Stamford Bridge London
The eve of the 20th anniversary of the hillsborough tragedy where 96 fans went to support their favourite football team Liverpool FC and never returned home.
The stage was set for the quarterfinal of the UEFA champions league quarter finals. Liverpool and Chelsea having met each other 5 succesive seasons in the competetion played out one of the most fantastic football matches ever witnessed.
Liverpool had been bbeaten at Anfield and had conceded 3 away goals and they needed to score 3 to stay in the competetion.
Stamford Bridge has been Chelsea's fortress where no team has ever scored 3 on a European night. The odds were against Liverpool.
Surprse surprise within 30 mins Liverpool were 0-2 up and they looked set for another improbable astonishing comebacks.
Liverpool arent called the comeback kings for nothing. They fight till the very death and never believe its over until its over.
Proof well.......
Anfield 1994-Liverpool vs Manchester Utd- Utd were 3-0 up within 20 mins but the reds fought back to draw level 3-3
Basel 2001- Basel were 3-0 at halftime and things looked bleak for Liverpool until they fought back again to make it 3-3.
Istanbul 2005- Hailed as the greatest comeback ever, Liverpool 3-0 down in the final of the champions league final against a Milan side who were playing football out f this world, came back to draw 3-3 and eventually won the Champions league.
City of Manchester Stadium 2008- Man City were 2-0 to the good at the break before they felt a resurgent Liverpool who came back to win it 2-3.
So things looked as though Liverpool were going to produce one of thier remarkable comebacks ever. However Chelsea came back strongly after the break and scored thrice in succesion.
Things looked over for the Reds but they fought thier way back again to make it 4-3.
The game ended 4-4 and Chelsea credit to them are through to the semi finals but every Liverpool fan including myself can hold our heads high for we support a team which never ceases to believe and never gives up.
We'll definitely never walk alone.....
