I like that new Torres song (same tune as that song from Die Hard 3 or some composer that I'm too ignorant to know)

It's 'the animals went in two by two', or at least that's the name I know it by!

And it is a great song - can't beat a good bounce, as captured here at an empty Old Trafford http://youtube.com/watch?v=1Rfihh4xrjU

Can't make out a bloody word out there, laa. What are they?

Also, I have that down as When Johnny Comes Marching Home, from the American Civil War. That said, they could well be one and the same tune.

Put to best use though by Mr Strummer and the boys.

Aye, they're one and the same tune methinks. Words are:

His armband proved he was a Red, Torres, Torres
You'll Never Walk Alone it said, Torres, Torres
We bought the lad from sunny Spain,
He gets the ball, he scores again,
Fernando Torres - Liverpool's number 9

At this point everyone starts bouncing around and repeating the the same tune with lots of 'nanananana'ing. Can't really see the bounce on that OT video, though.

The armband thing refers to some picture of him while he was playing for Athletico where his captain's armband is unravelling and it's got 'You'll Never Walk Alone' on the inside - apparently it's some motto between him and his mates, has nowt to do with us!

Excellent. At our place I'm afraid he'd simply receive "Fer-nan-do Tor-res" followed by clap, clap - clap, clap, clap in much the same way that Jay Jay Okocha did along with anyone else that happens to have five syllables to thier name. Next season it'll probably be "Gar-y Do-her-ty" or suchlike

His shirt it proves he is a White, Gary, Gary.
Rbk it says in text-speak shite, Gary, Gary.
He's played for Spurs - who gives a toss?
We love him more than his ginger boss.
Gary Doherty - Wanderers' number forty-three.

I really can't wait for tonight - I have a feeling it's going to be a special one, both on and off the pitch. Haven't looked forward to a game this much since the Chelsea 2nd leg last year... Don't think I'll be doing much in work, today; I can't concentrate!

A bit like me blurred. I'm totally disinterested and turned off by the constant hype of the Champs League, and will as I have done for the last couple of years, avoid watching any of the games tonight or tomorrow.

On the basis that we got a nob-head on the site a couple of weeks back after the Arsenal game saying he's glad we're going down (probably because theyv'e generally got turned over at the 'Bok), the Scouse get my vote for tonight....

Should be a good game, looking forwards to Arsenal effectively being out of all competitions. nice people.

The only problem I can see here, is that I can't see any of the English clubs stopping them red bastards from down the road. Guess I'll just have to rely on Barcelona...

Liverpool 0-1 Charlton Athletic

Liverpool v Arsenal, European Cup 1/4 final

If you'd told me 4 years ago that we'd be staring down the barrel of our third European Cup semi-final in four years (and not even mentioning winning it once and being runners-up once) I'd've told you you were barking.

Not knocking it mate

Just saying that from my perspective, the best chance of stopping the red bastards would be by Barcelona in the semis. The thought that they might beat an English team in the final, does not bear thinking about when you live opposite a "Red" pub.

Alternatively, any English side beating the feckers with an 89th minute goal or on penalties would be marvellous, but too heart stopping to contemplate....

I seriously hope we do not get to the final if it's against the Mancs, for so many reasons. Unfortunately, Barcelona are shite in semi-finals in general, the big catalan bottlers, so I fear, like yourselves, that the Mancs will be off to Moscow, and more than likely to appear in an all-English final.

Liverpool will win. Arsenal look tired for me and their back four is not good enough.

Traffic on the M62 is queuing from Burtonwood back to the M60, and on the M60 it's queuing clockwise down to Carrington and anti-clockwise past Prestwich. Looks like you might have to make do with 'one of those special Anfield European second halves' old son because God knows what the M6 must look like.

On European nights it's only scousers though don't forget, they just walk 100 yards down the road

Chances of clapping half way through YNWA as the teams come out tonight?
