The One and Only* - Chesney Hawkes



Only one English team has ever beaten Barcelona FC at the famous Nou Camp stadium in Spain - and that was in the mid 70s. Last nite (early this morning in M'sia), Liverpool FC rewrote that history! :-)

No, the record still stands that only one English team has ever achieve that feat - only that now, that English team has done it TWICE!!!!!! Yes, Liverpool FC is the English team to have beaten the home side at Nou Camp, Barcelona - and they have done it two times!!!!!

Just in case you missed the game, here are the Liverpool goals:-




Admittedly, both are a result of mistakes of the home team - but victory nevertheless is sweet!

I suppose all is fair in (not love and not war) football.. sometimes. I only really like Messi in Barca. But glad the Liverpudlians shocked them.

Arsenal has been abit too crap lately to inspire any confidence ahead of the CC final with Chelsea. still, fingers crossed! Better them than the Bank of Chelsea, right? I'm sure even u would agree with that. haha.

Football is weird - a team which lost 2-1 to Newcastle can beat Barca at Nou Camp!!!

Take heart - Liverpool went into that game after having a string of bad results. Perhaps it'll be the same for Arsenal this Sunday?

hooray! 3 cheers for loyal Reds' fans! you'll never walk alone. :-)

i miss watching games at the pub. i watched the game at a mamak over a roti planta, wif mozzies feasting on me exposed legs! and we were at the mercy of the mamak owner who would change channels to watch the other games as and when he felt like it!
