An hilarious quote I got from Telegraph.co.uk:
“Can you imagine Italy hiring an Englishman to run their national team? Nor can I. But at least under Fabio I’m sure you will go farther in the World Cup than for ages. So congratulations, England - you’re the new Jamaica.”
Priceless.
The Premiership is great to watch. Fantastic speed. Great tackles. But I’ll watch the El Clássico today to witness some real football.

Not half bad, is it?
An excellent goalkeeper. Talent and experience in defense. An excellent and explosive midfield. And deadly young attackers.
With Gerrard as captain, of course.
I was just having fun with the Telegraph Fantasy Football application and this is the team I came up with. Mind you, it was not easy as there is a limit of £50m to spend.
But, once more, it’s not half bad, is it?

Liverpool beat Besiktas 8-0 yesterday and this is the new record triumph in the Champions League.
Of course, the same Besiktas beat Liverpool 2-0 only two weeks ago.
But as you all know (by now) Liverpool is unpredictable: on Saturday the team was lethargic (i.e. against Blackburn) and three days later sets a new record… We, Liverpool fans, are used to that.

I’ve just watched Liverpool destroy Derby 6-0. Liverpool has played four matches and, normally, should have won all of them but Mr Styles thought otherwise… This is not as big an issue though as Liverpool is now top of the Premiership.
Liverpool already had the best defense and midfield in England. Now we have the best attack: Peter Crouch, Dirk Kuyt, Fernando Torres and Andriy Voronin. 11 goals in 4 matches is a good return on investment, don’t you think so?
I believe Liverpool will win its 19th Premiership title at the end of the season. If you really want to know why, it’s because Liverpool has for, the first time in more than one decade, the best squad among all the teams in England.

Tomorrow, my Liverpool FC will once more play against Milan AC in the Champions League final. Two years ago, we won in, arguably, the best ever final.
The Liverpool players have worked hard to get to the final and they are ready.
I know that Liverpool FC will win tomorrow. This is written in the stars.
I am proud to be a Liverpool FC fan. We are not going to war. We will respect Milan AC. Our players have a job to do. They are professionals. And so is our coach and mastermind, Rafael BenÃtez. Every true Liverpool FC fan knows that Rafa has a secret plan against the Milan AC players. With Rafa, we can win over any team. Barcelona and Chelsea can testify.
I predict that Liverpool FC will win by 1-0 tomorrow and the scorer will be… Captain Steven Gerrard!
An update at 02:05 on 24 May:
Liverpool has lost the game 1-2 with, believe it or not, two goals by Inzaghi. I watched it at home with three Liverpool fans and we mostly agreed that Liverpool (and especially Gerrard) did not play a great match. Liverpool was, during long stretches, better than Milan AC and Gerrard and Xabi Alonso should have scored.
Anyway, congratulations to Milan AC
