Liverpool v. Barca -- Post Match
Well, well, well...Vein of Form woke up this morning and found lots of angry emails in the 'ol inbox. Several people took issue with our referring to Sheffield Utd. as "pesky". Many readers felt that "crap" or "near the bottom of the table" was more precise. There existed more than a few emails calling Stevie G. (or as VoF would say "Our Beloved Stevie G") a diver and a cheat. Now, it is time you all act like adults and email VoF tomorrow congratulating us for supporting Liverpool Football Club and their advancement to the quarterfinals. They slayed the mighty Barca (sort of) and moved one step closer to Number 6.
A few email-ers took exception to our criticisms last night of certain Barca players and our prediction that not many of those superstars would last in the EPL. All you need to realize is that a former EPL player was responsible for the only goal in this leg...We stand by our remark - as always.
Final thoughts before we forget about Barca forever (or at least until the Real Madrid match this weekend), would include:
Some other CL matches were played today as well.
First, Valencia proved to the footballing world that when Inter Milan wins the scudetto, no one will give a shit. Next, Roma proved that as mediocre as the Serie A is, the French league is evenr worse. Third, we feel rather indifferent about Chelsea advancing. Tis true LFC have got Chelsea's number in the Champions League, but they scare us more than any remaining team in the draw.
Today the reigning Euro and Spanish champions were eliminated, the French champions were eliminated and the soon to be crowned Italian champions were eliminated. Tomorrow the final 8 will be set and the draw is just days away! This is why we love football.

Final thoughts before we forget about Barca forever (or at least until the Real Madrid match this weekend), would include:
- Crouch has got to go.
- John Arne Riise is our favorite Liverpool player right now.
- Rafa Benitez is one year and 3 signings away from figuring out the EPL.
- Dirk Kuyt is going to be immense next season. He'll have one full go-round under his belt and be unstoppable. LFC haven't had someone with his work rate in years.
