The Golf Club Duo sinks Barcelona at Nou Camp.

That sounds like a cheesy headline. After the Portugal golf swinging incidence between that problem-child Craig Bellamy and ice-cool John Arne Riise, Liverpool seemed to be practising all the wrong moves. And to think the fight started because Riise turned down Bellamy's request of him singing a karaoke.

Rafa ended up fining 15 off the 22 players on the team. The shit had well and truly hit the fan and Liverpool which already was the underdog to beat Barca at Nou Camp was written off completely.

The only problem was nobody told Liverpool they were supposed to go down and roll over, and what followed was a scintillating game where we came back from a goal deficit to stun the title holders.

Dejected at being one goal down, but
You'll Never Walk Alone.

The mother of all ironies - Bellamy and Riise scored the two Liverpool goals. Rafa might have known something that we didn't when he said "This incidence should inspire the players do something special". Only Rafa could have seen an inspiration in this.

Nice way to Kiss and make-up :)

What a result, even the staunch supporters would have taken a 1-1 draw as a good result, to go to Barca and come back winners 2-1 was an amazing result. Barca have only been beaten twice at Nou Camp by any English club, the second team to do so was 1976 Liverpool team.

Since then we steam rolled over Sheffield United and for the statements he is making after the match - Neil Warnock must have had his head knocked in by that defeat.

Big 5 days for Liverpool now. Liverpool play ManU at Anfield on 3rd March and then play Barca in the return leg at Anfield on 6th March. Exciting times. I am looking forward to weekend.

On a separate note Jose Mourinho seems to be loosing his top floor. First he went after Roman Abromovich saying he is not supporting him to make a complete team. Funny, since Roman has already poured in millions of pounds in that bottomless pit called Chelsea.

Then Jose goes after Arsene Wenger saying he is better than the Arsenal manager because Jose has won the CL and Arsene has not. And now he says ManU has had all the luck that's why they are at the top of the league.

Somebody needs to tell Jose to stop cribbing and get on with the game. But then I would not want him to go quiet - he definitely gives a lot of laugh riot material in between the match days.
