As for the Chelsea game although we are through i want to top the group,because as Manure found out last year settling for second place can come back and haunt you.
Finishing second or first, there is no real advantage imo. We could draw a dangerous oposition regardless where we finish [1st or 2nd]

Nervey ending to that one Pheeeeeeeew 
Jesus christ almighty that keeper saved 9 shots FFS.
Im so happy we are through and as Rafa said it doesnt matter if you come top of the group or second, there are no easy teams to draw, once you get through.
Proud of Crouchy today and Niall Quinn sang praises for him all night said he was the best player on the park, and the lad could not have done more if Im honest.
We missed xabi and Luis tonight against them though, our little thumb sucker would have got 1 or 2.
No worries we are through thats all that matters.
WE SHALL NOT
WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED
WE SHALL NOT WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED
JUST LIKE THE TEAM
THATS GONA WIN THE EUROPEAN CUP (AGAIN)
WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED

Is the draw Groups A winners play Group B runners up?
Because im sure last year i was on the edge of my seat waiting for them to annouce random fixtures. And we was lucky because we avoided the 3 Italians in the first round of knock outs.

Thought Fernando showed a lot of improvement tonight as well. He's getting better and better for me. Still not the player I think he can be but I was really worried about him earlier this season, he looked REALLY off the pace. He's looking a lot better now.

Looks like he's got a bit of confidence about him now, that's all. Even a few of his tricks came off tonight. I want to see him succeed, I'm made up for the fella.

Hyypia, Sissoko and Hamman all also played well i thought. Finnan was solid as always. Cisse looked lively when he came on. Riise did well to contain Joaquin. Zenden did his part. Morientes for me was excellent, same can be said of Crouch. Carragher was Carragher. Gerrard looked sightly tired too me. All round solid performance i say.

Yer Morientes improved more in the second half, but if we are honest, our forwards have not settled with a regular partner upfront, one week its cisse/Crouch, the next its Moreintes/Crouch so none have them been able to build up a partnership.
I think Fernando is looking to be in the starting 11 in Germany TBH, he was on the deck more than Heskey tonight, and we played against a Spanish side.

If Riise can keep him quiet then one begins to wonder.....
