Hello again, unfortunately Liverpool have been knocked out of the European Cup. Just one of those things, a bit of a letdown overall.
The evening was livened up slightly by a slightly drunk Scouser, let's call him Gary, impersonating Muhammed Ali, for example;
"Who do these Benfica think they are?
They play in the Stadium of Light
They're so bad
They should play in tights"
I appeared to be the only one amused.
Another irritating detail about tonight was the presence of one of the most annoying creatures for a football fan watching a game in a pub, the fan of a hated rival (in this case Everton) cheering for the other team. Normally, I'd wager, he has a full social calender. A night off from watching opera and discussing existential philosophy must have been needed.
The really impressive thing about this guy was his failure to explain how Everton weren't on TV at this precise moment (They'd been knocked out in August). He merely continued to say how "Shite" Liverpool were. Some feat of internal logic don't you think.
Ahhhhh......The joys of watching football in a pub, can't wait for the world cup!!!!
