Typically after winning the FA Cup last season thanks to Gerrard's amazing last minute equaliser against West Ham (see pic in 2006 review entry below), Liverpool have bowed out of this year's competition with barely a whimper! Very upsetting, but it has happened to Liverpool so often these last few years - we've won more than our fair share of cups but we always seem to get knocked out pretty easily and early on in the same competition when we're defending the trophy the following season. Also, it was the end of an amazing run for Liverpool at Anfield, no team had beaten Liverpool there since Benfica knocked us out of the Champions League last March, and Liverpool had actually beaten 15 out of 17 teams who have played in league or cup matches at Anfield this season, drawing with the other 2. Ah well, runs like that can't last for ever I guess.No complaints about losing this game. As much as it pains me to say it (especially if any Arsenal fans like Harry are reading this) Arsenal fully deserved this. They got their tactics spot on and just when Liverpool had got 1 goal back, were dominating play and looking like they might get an equaliser, up stepped the fantastic Thierry Henry, despite still not being fully fit, to put it beyond doubt - how classy that guy is, my favourite ever non-Liverpool player. No complaints, but it does put a dampener on my mood for the last weekend of the college holidays!

unlucky boyo - pompey ftw!
sweet, sweet Arsenal! Oh well there is always the Carling Cup...oh no, we just beat you, I can't remember the score though, I can't count that high!
Rub it in why don't you! I'm already embarrased enough - see the post I've just added about this latest disaster!
Fair dues to Arsenal's kids though - they did the job, and left me and other Liverpool fans thoroughly embarrased and miserable.
