Was going to watch the game as a neutral, but I don't know...the ITV team are creaming their bloody pants over all things Liverpool, the usual old guff that the BBC did in the 70's and 80's, long, lingering shots of the Kop; a reverential silence so we can all listen to them catawauling "You'll Never Walk Alone" as if it was some religious or deeply spiritual moment; shots of the "This Is Anfield" sign; more shots of fat men in Liverpool shirts; "...ah, the atmosphere..."; "...ah, European nights at Anfield...", on, on, and f**king on!!
I hope Chelsea win now, but, with Drogba already clutching his head and falling over as if he has his very own sniper on a grassy knoll outside Anfield somewhere, seems unlikely...
