Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd or Barcelona?

.090408.

Today mark the "final" midterm of my life (Radar System Design and Analysis) !! Hehehe... Hooray!! No more midterms deee... ><

.100408.

Latest update was Man Utd swept away Roma with a 1-0 home victory to march into the European Champions League Semi Finals. Man Utd set a date with Barcelona in the closing stages of the UCL while Liverpool will host Chelsea first on April 23rd. It is the 2nd consecutive season that 3 English Clubs made it into the Semis.

Earlier, Tevez sealed the tie with a brilliant header after finding a perfect cross from Owen Hargreaves to make the aggregate 3-0. With 15 minutes left, it is quite clear that Roma couldn't come back looking at the way they play today. Man Utd definitely had more clear chances but Roma keeper was just too good today to deny few shots. De Rossi could have made it 1-0 from the spot, but found his penalty taken horribly off target at the top. Barcelona got away with a 1-0 win at home thanks to an easy finish from Toure (aggregate 2-0).

*looking forward to 2 things today: 1) Rocket Launching with Dan at 7.30 am and 2) Worship Training in SIBKL at 8pm*

Arsenal vs Liverpool Trilogy!!!

.090408.

The Arsenal vs Liverpool Trilogy came to a sensational ending just moments ago when Liverpool emerged as the better team in the cracking European Champions League Quarter-Final match at Anfield.

Both sides meet in just 7 days with Arsenal twice host Liverpool for the UCL Quarter Final 1st Leg and EPL match, both ended with a 1-1 draw.

The 3rd and final part of the trilogy looks as if it was going to be a 1-1 draw again when both teams levelled during half time. Everything changed when Torres scored a brilliant top right corner shot with 20 minutes left on the clock.

Arsenal fought hard and Theo Walcott made a magnificient run from his own half to beat 5 Liverpool men before passing it back to Adebayor to complete a cool finish that looked as if Arsenal was going through to the semi finals.

Just a minute later on the other half, Babel made a quick dash into the penalty box and was brought down by Toure. PENALTY!!! I was so freaking excited and the match was getting a lil or perhaps alot more intensed by then!! Gerrard stoop up before the ball and took the penalty firmly to beat keeper, Almunia. 3-2 to Liverpool!!!

Arsenal almost came back quickly with some pretty well attacks but Liverpool counter attacks was too good and Babel sealed off the game with a brilliant finish from the counter attack in the dying seconds.

*cheerz* to Liverpool but you have to face Man Utd in the Finals!! (That also if you make it past Chelsea who won 2-0 at home against Fenerbache with an aggregate of 3-2)
