Anyone who’s thoroughly enjoyed a screening of Thelma and Louise knows that it matters not how gutsy and delicious a romp might be, eventually your luck will run out. In the case of the two women, they thought best to kill themselves by driving off the Grand Canyon, in the case of Liverpool, Riise chose to nod one past Reina in the dying seconds of the Champions League semi final. Both suicides of a sort.
But have they had it coming? Many an Arsenal fan will point to the umpteen penalties they missed out on in the quarters, even the Milan team of 2005 probably feel the victims of a very surreal accident. And as for Chelsea - was it about time they got one over on their biggest European foe?
Both Liverpool and Chelsea are building a European reputation as the teams most likely to bore everyone into submission, so the big question is: which team would make for a better final?
And would it be wrong to bundle both sets of players into a bus and drive them off a cliff?
Seriously. We’ve got the bus.

Firstly - No such thing as Karma
Secondly - Clearly Liverpool would be better for the final. LFC have been involved with the greatest Champions League final ever (2005) The greatest UEFFA cup final ever (2001)
The greatest FA cup final ever (2006) - So its very much a no brainer.
ALL the finals that Chelsea have ever been involved in have been VERY VERY boring
Chelase are souless, and represent everything that is wrong with modern football.
They know they were played off the park last night. They know they were played off the park at Stamford Bridge in the league a few months back, they know that ony any given day Liverpool can beat them.
A special mention must go out to the bigest cheat ever to play in England. Drogba - You are a disgrace. Kiss your chelsea badge as much as you want, everybody knows you wont be at Chelsea next season. A Shallow gesture that fools nobody. The sooner you leave England the better - How many goals have you scored theis season again?

Hear hear.. Drogba was an absolute disgrace. He didnt even have the good grace to continue to limp about a bit after his divinig. Dive, roll around in agony, Complain to the Ref, get the decision (or not), Jump straight back up and run around.

Do I detect sour grapes? Yes, yes I do.
Liverpool were only there thanks to some very friendly referees.
Last night Liverpool just got a taste of the bad luck their opponents have kept having over the years. The goal that never was, Dudek getting away with standing 5 feet off his line for every penalty Milan took, Materazzi getting sent off for nothing, the penalty decisions vs Arsenal; Sooner or later your luck runs out and for Liverpool last night it did.

And finally when Benitez runs out of luck he blames the ref (who had a terrific game). Blames him for playing too many minutes and givinf chelski all the decisions on throw-ins and corners. Throw-ins and corner?! Twat
