I have always considered myself as a football fan, but I have come to realize recently that it is not true. I am not football fan. I am Liverpool football fan. If I was football fan, I would want Manchester United to win next week in Moscow. They have history and tradition unlike Chelsea. They have done it the proper way. I admire certain aspects of the way they run their club. Chelsea has bought their way by using the deep pockets of Roman Abrahmovich. They do not have any history or tradition. They do not deserve to be in Moscow next week, but I will be hoping that Chelsea will beat Manchester United in the final. Football fans will be hoping for a Manchester United victory, but I am not football fan. I am Liverpool fan and I hate Manchester United. I wish Chelsea all the best in the final.


Portsmouth will play Cardiff City in the FA Cup 2008 final. Portsmouth has done well this season and finished 8th in the Premiership table. They have some very talented players in their ranks. David James is one of the best keepers in the premiership. Defoe and Muntari have the ability to provide them goals. Cardiff City plays in the Championship, which is below Premiership level. They finished 12th in the league. Nobody was expecting either team to reach the final at the start of the season. Portsmouth is rightfully favorites to win the final. Liverpool legend God Robbie Fowler will be on the bench for Cardiff. Fowler was my favorite player as a kid. He has endured a difficult first season for Cardiff. I will be hoping that Cardiff win the FA Cup for Fowler. He deserves an FA Cup winner’s medal. It is pity he played for us in an era, when Liverpool was not very successful on the pitch for various reasons. Come on God Fowler!
