Coz I'm turning into a football freak

Fulham 0-1 Liverpool

"Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez looked like becoming the latest Big Four manager to fall to the curse of the Cottage.

Then up popped substitute Yossi Benayoun, four minutes into injury time, to smash a right-foot shot past Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer to send Liverpool the top of the Premier League."

I stayed up til 3am last night watching the game in star sports. At first I thought Liverpool could easily goal against fulham but i was so wrong. Last 20 minutes of the game I was already losing hope but thanks to the sub Benayoun who made a goal during stoppage time, liverpool was able to win. Dossena and Dirk Kuyt were replaced by Babel and Benayoun during the last 20 minutes of the game. I thought that was a wrong move by Benitez because Dossena and Kuyt are really good players but the goal made at stoppage-time showed that it was a wise decision. :)
Liverpool's game was really superb! They were just all pumped up and ready to win. Torres, Alonso, Dossena all hit the bar during the first half. They deserved it since they dominated the game :).
They're now on top of the premier league and let's hope they stay there. :) Aston Villa, please win :)

“We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still, the expected’s just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives.”

“Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.”

“We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.”
