So close...

...to Kenny last night that I could have said "Hello", except that I was sat among all the City fans!

Not a Premier League tie but probably the only chance I'll get to catch Liverpool this season.

The last time these two faced each other (8 days ago), City emphatically won 3-0.

This time, it was 1-0 to the Reds who triumphed in this first-leg cup tie; City a shadow of themselves.

The usual controversy surrounded the Scousers however, this time Glen Johnson's two footed tackle which went unpunished and Gerrard and Mancini having a post-match spat in the tunnel.


*Update*

And now Stevie G will be a Red until the end of his career - I'm shedding a tear! :-)
