Oh wow! Liverpool beat Juventus 2-1 in the 1st leg of their Champions League Quarterfinal clash. Juve have apparently only conceded just two goals the entire tournament, and here they conceded 2 more to Liverpool. Of course, this happened at Anfield so I am worried that they won't manage to do the same in the 2nd leg, but they have surprised me this entire CL so who knows what could happen.
Also great is the fact that now they are only 1 point behind 4th place Everton in EPL. I had all but thrown in the towel for their attempt at a CL spot for next season i.e. top 4 place (obviously, Chelsea, ManU and Arsenal were all locks for the top 3 spots already even early in the season). But well a win over Everton and a win last weekend (with Biscan's late goal) have now taken them 1 goal behind Everton. With a few more games left in the season, ending up in 4th seems more a possibility now than it did a couple of weeks ago.
And now that we are in the topic of football, I find it absolutely ridiculous and even hilarious that Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer ended up in a fist fight against each other during their loss against Aston Villa. When I saw the report that they were both thrown out of the game due to a fight, I thought it was because they had a fight with someone from Villa. As it turns out, it was with each other! It's the first time I've ever seen two people from the same team fight. Not the best of weekends for Newcastle.
