Champions League Final, Tah Dah!

I am writing this at half time as I get so bored of watching the ads, like the one on at the moment with balloons and cars floating around. That’s the thing I don’t like about ITV coverage of football – at every moment they have an ad break, I bet they’d do it each time there was a free kick or something if they could get away with it. And I miss Gary Linker, I’ve become extremely fond of him, he’s a funny and charming sort of guy. Anyway, to the football, and what a fine example of football this match is turning out to be. For the first half my headline would be “Fluking Hell!” I’m just trying to resist eating another Tescos Finest Half Coated Triple Chcolate Cookies, ooh and Sue has just brought in some grapes. I had been really worried before hand thinking it would be either a really dry match or it would be thrilling. So far it has come very near to the latter, we are enjoying ourselves immensely. I have ended up supporting Liverpool, I don’t know why – it just felt right, I guess I’m sort of familiar with them from the Premiership. Another fucking ad break. No I don’t want a clean fence fast with your power spray. However in the Premiership, as we have all been saying lately, they can be a bit boring, apart from that match against Arsenal where they scored a lot. Even in the Champions League it has been pretty painful to watch them, against Chelsea especially. But they looked great straight from kickoff. Unlike the United v Chelsea FA Cup final where it was all nerves, you’d never guess these guys were feeling the pressure – they’ve just been flowing. Liverpool have been brilliant and there have been some inspirational moments of football, so it sort of saddens me to report that at half time Milan are 1-0 up and it’s not really deserved. Was it really a free kick? From the replay I saw, Alonso didn’t , oh my god some crazy men are banging on dustbins on the pitch and the players have to walk through it. Alonso didn’t touch Kaka. When the ball was put down I knew they were going to score, it was a good position but it was a bit of a fluke the way it just bounced off that man’s chest and he didn’t even notice. Two of my highlights were when Kaka did the roll back turn, I’ve been watching football for a whole season as well as the World Cup and the last 2 Champions League and I’ve never seen that before. Someone has run onto the pitch – but the TV wont show us, I bet Gary would if it was the BBC. I should probably watch the match now. Kaka little spin was a thing of beauty, but then Alonso went and did one too which was even better! I love it and will be practising my spinning tomorrow so watch out! When Kaka did it, Mascherano went on to tackle him, go Massy, I thought there was no stopping Kaka, but Massy did a good job, (there’s only one) Tevez would be proud!
Well, it was riveting and it was Liverpool’s match, but they didn’t win, so I don’t want to write about it any more. I get really down when my team doesn’t win and I don’t even support Liverpool, so I don’t know how the players and the hardcore, lifelong fans feel. Poor dudes. They played like winners though. Did you see Kaka’s t shirt? Nice to see the return of Harry “Cool”. I started to write a song about him, to the tune of Skippy the bush kangaroo, “Harry, Harry, Harry, the bush kangaroo” But I need to change the last bit.
