We won. yay :p
eeer bad nite, arsenal smashed by chelsea tooo.
i hope u remain a liverpool faithful. i supported liverpool after they won the treble in 2001 but lost faith in them after their continually disappointing showing since then. but then again, i supported man u before that but gave them up cos they were just too good. i dont think i'll remain faithful to any english team cos now i'm for arsenal! the only team i'll always be loyal to is none other than barcelona!
anywayz good luck with liverpool. i hate benitez's rotation policy. torres is a marvel though. love that guy.
