The Football Season May Be Winding Down But...

(Rooney hugs Ronaldo after he scores forty yard goal stunner)

It's actually just hotting up! What a beautiful game football is.Where do I start?! I always seem to say that because I have not got a clue where to.I will chose to start with my team,and the Man U v Porto match.I have got two words for that "Ronaldo Rocket." I sat there stunned,when Ronaldo scored that magical goal.The goal was almost forty yards out and happened so fast that I ALMOST MISSED IT,BUT COULD NOT WHEN IT MIRACULOUSLY WENT INTO THE BACK OF THE NET WITH SUCH POWER AND FORCE.People just don't score goals from there and,if they try they usually fail.I am a fan and,I know how great he is but,he even surprises me sometimes,and i'm sure he does the same with many others.The stadium as well as the players on both teams were shocked.Manchester United made history that amazing night becoming the first English team to ever win in Porto.I can tell you I was very anxious and nervous throughout the whole game.I'm sure all Manchester United supporters were,but in the end the team held their nerve played well and deserved to win.YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now we are ready for Arsenal who are in very fine form right now,and I cannot predict the outcome of that game,just as I could not predict Chelsea v Liverpool.When Manchester United are playing at their best it is near impossible to beat them,but Arsenal can beat "almost" anyone on a good day.What has harmed Arsenal's chances of success particularly in the league,is their lack of consistency,but a knock out game is different.These are two great teams who play the most beautiful football in the premier league,anything can happen.That is why it is a mouth watering prospect,the rivalry between these two giant clubs is fierce.

Back to the second leg of the Liverpool v Chelsea game.In the second leg,Liverpool were better than Chelsea.However,in the second half of the game Chelsea eventually turned up and showed what they are capable of,especially with that man Drogba who scored the first goal,to get the party started.Liverpool amazingly scored four goals away,something that a lot of the commentators and football pundits said they could not do.But,at the end of the day it still was not good enough,as Chelsea had already done enough damage to Liverpool's chances in the first leg.I thought it was an amazing game,at one point I thought Liverpool were going to go through,but Chelsea prevailed.Chelsea v Barcelona is going to be some game.Barcelona are the favourites and I lean towards them,but it is anyone's game now.There are no easy teams,and like I said anything can happen,each team has not only got to play well,but have the fight in them,as that is what wins games! I said it would be an injustice if Arsenal were to win,but now I realise with just four teams left it's anyone's game.I know who I want in final.I say that with a wink,no prizes for guessing!
