1)Just imagine that we manage to get through to the quarter final.
2)Just imagine that chelsea is knocked-out.
3)Just imagine that arsenal is knocked-out.
4)Just imagine that the scums are knocked-out.
Implication - We are the only english team in the quarter final. Suddenly LFC becomes the darling of the english press again (since we are single-handedly carrying the british flag in europe once more). They will lay-off gerrard & baros & hamann & whichever LFC player for the rest of the season. The players feel more relaxed, seeing that they are no longer being hounded in the press and come up with outstanding performance. We go on a run to win all the remaining the league games.
no....it gets better.....

You would have noticed that biscan seems to suffer from an identity crisis whenever he plays against other european teams. Yeah...... he plays like zidane.....no, not that over-the-hill zidane at madrid, but the world class one who was at juventus. No chelsea, no arsenal, no manure...just watch biscan go.
(2)
Hyppia also performs faultlessly in Champ League. And with Carra (doing it week in & week out), Finnan (steady right back) & Traore (turning out to be our best left back in recent times.....can't believe i am saying this). We might have a good defence (in europe at least....) No chelsea, no arsenal, no manure...Our defence might just perform magnificantly (in europe at least...).
(3)
Dudek has used up his allocation of howlers for this season. Just watch him perform in the remaining matches.

Gerrard always comes up with goods in Champ League. So whenever he plays (at least in champ league), he is worth a goal...... So we should be able to score at least a goal in each of the champions league match gerrard plays.

With all the sh1t we went through in the premier league, we have been fairly lucky in the champions league...... On paper, we had a tuff group in the group stage. But deportivo were for some reason woeful. And the other team only plays well in greece. So we were through to the round of sixteen. If we manage to get pass leverkuson, anybody wants to bet against us getting PSV or monaco in the quarters ? We could even get lyon in the semi-final ... looking at the luck we are having in the champions league....

Last but not least....just imagine what it would be like to win the champions league with our worst ever team... It is not that far-fetch when u look at the last world cup where germany went to the final with the worst squad of players in their history. And hamann was in that team, and he is in ours now. Argentina went to the final of the 1990 world cup with the worst squad in their history. Pelle did not play for argentina then...and he won't play for us in the champions league this season.... so u see it is all connected somehow.

so u see, it could be a GR8 09/03/05...if everything goes to plan.
ps....i am not on crack. i am sober. This is the most positive spin i can come up with to lift the doom & gloom in here........

over & out.
