Lots of generous comments from Liverpool fans. Great bounceback against Inter! Good luck in Italy. The penalty shout - I know these things tend to even out, but for a few seconds, Barnsley fans had terrible flashbacks to a scything down by Gary Neville of Andy Liddell ten years ago right in front of goal (1-1 with a few mins left). Even Alex Ferguson: "It was a penalty - referee's missed it." Bring on Chelsea - hoping our luck holds. <strong>BB:</strong> Good to hear you marked the occasion in style. And I take it you tipped in half a bag of sugar! If we win the cup, I'll send you a whole sheep. Paul: Nice one. Lots of generous comments from Liverpool fans. Great bounceback against Inter!

In the end, I settled for a bacon butty with a strong cuppa!

Well done to all involved, including delirious fans around the world :-) As a Liverpool fan who watched the game unfold on some shaky internet connection from China, even I cheered when Barnsley scored, mainly because they had a stonewall penalty denied them seconds earlier.

'The Magic Boot', 'The Back Four of Seville'? You could be on to something. Pen that 90-minute libretto now! <strong>Zhu:</strong> I just posted the French commentary of the winning goal - to give my post a more continental flavour ;) <strong>BB:</strong> Exactly! I couldn't have articulated it better myself! Dale: Why not? ‘The Magic Boot’, ‘The Back Four of Seville’? You could be on to something. Pen that 90-minute libretto now!

I miss the North American bagel (for breakfast). To me that's a perfection. I have yet to find an equivalent bagel over here. Although I am taking to the scone with cream. Lovely.

I've suffered from some deliciously awful shuddering shoulders at the opera myself. My one opera experience at the Met was for a stunning production of La Traviata. And isn't it nice to know that cabbies provide thrill rides no matter where you go? Sounds like a lovely time, haughtiness and all!
