Hard to keep it real after toppling cowardly Madrid and hated United

I’VE had better weeks. Of course there was always a trophy or two at the end of them.

Who saw that coming? You did? Liar! There’s an extra dimension to our play when there’s a challenge and there’s always hope when Gerrard and Torres are together, but come on: eight goals in a week against the nabobs of narcissism?

Maybe it wasn’t the wisest move for Real’s ‘Pravda’ to headline their build-up “This Is Anfield — So What?” especially after their 5-1 aggregate prediction had already been reduced to laughable ashes.
