The obligatory football post...

The Blues are not so blue in Europe. Nice draw. Liverpool and Arsenal face Inter Milan and AC Milan respectively, Manchester United have it tough with Lyon and poor old Celtic will need to overcome Barcelona. Meanwhile, Chelsea will be happily squaring up against Greek side Olympiacos. It really couldn't be any more perfect if I'd designed it myself.

Injuries aside, I have high hopes for the Blues this season. Whilst I continue to mourn the departure of Jose 'the special one' Mourinho, the team has been enjoying a rejuvenated performance of late and it appears that Avram Grant might not be so bad after all.

In truth, Mourinho (love him as I do) never managed to cut it in Europe. His focus was domestic, where we excelled, but always with the slightly bitter pill of defeat in Europe and an unjustly empty space in the trophy cabinet.

Surely this has to be our year?

We've won it five times
We've won it five times
In Istanbul, we won it five times.

You've won it no times
You've won it no times
Like Accrington Stanley, you've won it no times.

Much love to you.

You will never stop will you?

Such a shame that you continually fail to beat us in domestic football. What is it about home turf that Liverpool finds so challenging?

Anyway, you can sod off - it is our year!
