How on earth did Liverpool do it? 3-0 down at half time and then they scored 3 goals in 5 minutes early in the second half to draw level. Finally, they were crowned Champions of Europe after a penalty shoot out. To think I was going to switch off at half time!

Poor Stevie Gerrard was almost in tears in the interview afterwards. After staying loyal to the cause for so long I was especially delighted to see him finally lift the famous trophy. Since the club have now won it 5 times, they get to keep it forever – impressive!

Since the demise of poor Notts Forest, I would like to foster a Premiership team to give me an interest until Forest return triumphantly to top flight football. For the past few seasons I have always had a soft spot for Arsenal. But after tonight, Liverpool might just have a new fan, and I suspect I’m not the only one.

However, I might leave them alone as I don’t want to jinx them. After all, when I first picked a team out, I was between Nottingham Forest and Chelsea. Forest were actually doing better at the time and just look at the way things have turned out!
