Anfield magic brings us back to life again but sinking feeling lingers on

SO TO recap from last week: UEFA don’t have an agenda against Liverpool, Agger is class on the ball, internal politics are being kept quiet and Rafa is a lucky general.

Well, one out of four’s not bad I suppose. Just don’t ask me for lottery numbers.

The incompetence of the continent’s hierarchy hardly qualifies as a shock. These are the good folk who gave us European finals in a crumbling ruin (Heysel), the middle of nowhere (Ataturk) and a stadium without turnstiles (Athens).
