"Football is the only game where men can act like pussies - they can hug other men, kiss other men, and touch other men's asses, and they're still heroes." - Darren Tan
I swear my heart dropped past my knees when Liverpool let 3 in. They looked like a Division 1 team as they struggled to string passes together. The white shirts were everywhere. I wouldn't have known what to say to them at half time if I had had to. Benitez is a genius.
But that's why football's so beautiful, a game where heroes are made in seconds and villains last a lifetime. Old money, new money, bad management, good management, so many human factors make it such a finely balanced game, an intricate dance that has everyone on their feet.
Truly a sport where every dog has its day, it would be horribly boring if titans stayed titans forever.
Liverpool owned the 80s and looked a spent force as Man Utd rose to the fore and took over the 90s. Arsenal flickered relatively briefly as the epitome of good football, and now it's Chelsea. Or is it? Next season'll be good, so many teams are undergoing revivals, pulling of wins worthy of the record books. I can't wait.
P.S.: The Welsh champions have offered a playoff against Liverpool for their spot in the qualifying round of the Champions league next season - watch this space.
