It's 10:30pm and I've just returned from Griff's house where we watched the UEFA Champions League match between Liverpool and Olympiacos of Greece. To qualify for the final stages of the competition Liverpool needed either a 1-0 win or to win by 2 goals (i.e. 3-1 or 4-2). Well, the first half went badly and at half time Liverpool were losing 0-1. A dramatic effort was needed. Well, they delivered! Goals from Florent Sinema-Pongolle, Neil Mellor and a dramatic third from Steven Gerrard with less than five minutes remaining sealed Liverpool's place in the next round. It was genius. Another one of the greatest sporting moments I can remember.
So in the space of just over a week Liverpool have achieved two incredible last gasp wins that hopefully will help define the rest of the season and the team's future.
