A C Milan V Liverpool FC – Champions League Final

unklerupert | May 21, 2007 | 10:30 pm

Champions League final
Date: Wednesday, 23 May
Kick-off: 1945 BST
Venue: Olympic Stadium, Athens

Liverpool departed from John Lennon airport this morning heading for Athens, Greece ready for the Champions League Final on Wednesday.

Manager Rafa Benitez has a virtually fully fit squad to choose from ahead of the game, but as usual he will play his cards close to his chest. So, now I will put the mockers on it and give you my predictions. At least it is date stamped and you can all point and larf “ahahahaha” if I get it all wrongety wrong.

I go with a 4 4 1 1 formation

GK: Reina
LB: Finnan
CB: Carra
CB: Agger
RB: Riise
RM: Pennant
CM: Mascherano
CM: Alonso
LM: Kewell (Yes – from the start)
CF: Peter Crouch

With the main man, Steven Gerrard floating in the space between MF and forward, able to revert to a five man midfield when necc, but also free to attack and maraud at will.

I say, AC Milan 0-2 Liverpool at half time after Liverpool fly out the blocks and get an early goal in the first 10 minutes, putting AC Milan on the back foot from the start. I’d then revert to a 10 man defence in the second half with a large corrugated barrier in front to hold back Kaka and Gattuso.

Sorted – see if I’m not right, disagree I dare ya.

Your thoughts welcome as always, doesn’t mean I will display then though if I don’t agree :)

More sensible opinion and knowledgeable opinion is available at the Liverpool Echo site Athens special.

Liverpool beat Chelsea to reach Champions League Final

unklerupert | May 1, 2007 | 11:16 pm

Liverpool FC beat Chelsea champions league semi final 2007

Nothing like a penalty shoot out late in the evening to relax one ready for the kip. Liverpool did the usual and beat Chelsea in a Champions League semi final @ Anfield, can’t wait to hear Jose’s excuses for this one, no ghost goals here mate.

So now we await the result of AC Milan v Manure tomorrow night. As well as Manure are playing at the moment, I have a feeling that AC Milan might nick it with the home advantage. So a re-run of the 2005 Final in Turkey, this time in Athens, Greece.

YNWA :)
