Get Real man

I've been busy placing more wagers this evening as there's nothing on TV. I almost climaxed when I saw Real Madrid's price. I had a semi already and Real at evens to beat Liverpool almost pushed me over the edge.

How on God's clean Earth can they be even money to beat Liverpool? How how? One can only assume the exaggerated level of respect given to Liverpool here by the bookies is purely down to deluded scousers lumping on with their income support.

I recognise that Liverpool have done well in this competition historically, but the one team that has done even better is Real Madrid. They've won it fifty million times for crying out loud. Also, Liverpool are rubbish at the moment: They've drawn with Stoke, Wigan, Everton four or five times, lost to Everton in the cup and drawn with Man City at home and and have never even played at the Bernabeu! Meanwhile Real have won 9 games in a row and yet the bookies believe that Real Madrid are a coin flip here!? Madness, Madness I tells ya.

Arsenal of course were able to beat Real Madrid on their first visit to the Bernabeu, but as we all know, Arsenal are at least 45% more awesome than Liverpool so I really can't see anything but a comfortable win for Real Madrid tonight*. In fact, Liverpool have as much chance of winning tonight as the Japanese have of making porn without an alien rape theme .


I also expect CSKA Moscow to beat Villa tomorrow and Cologne to beat Arminia Bielefeld on Friday as my flying monkeys have informed me that the Bielefeld team have been stricken down by a consignment of dodgy weiner schnitzel.

Dodgy wiener schnitzel yesterday

Update* - On reflection, I got this one about as wrong as possible. I had to abandon the game after ten minutes as it was so utterly tedious, so I don't know if Liverpool deserved their win, but it astonishes me nonetheless. I should now like to ask you all to observe a minutes silence in memory of my monies. Please bow your heads.
