MANCHESTER CITY 0 - LIVERPOOL 1

LIVERPUDLIANS HAVEN'T BEEN THIS EXCITED OVER ONE LEG SINCE PAUL McCARTNEY MET HEATHER MILLS !

It may be their first appearance at Wembley since the Spice Boys of 1996 trod the turf in their white suits before losing to Manchester United in the FA Cup final ...... and they are taking it very seriously.

I GET THE FEELING THEY WON'T BE WEARING 'WHITE' SUITS IF THEY REACH THE FINAL
The last time Liverpool saw the inside of Wembley ...... well .... for a start, it was the old Wembley, George Michael was No 1 in the UK charts with 'Fast Love' and the top movie at the box office was 'Twister'. The first ever 'flip phone' [Motorola's StarTac] was on the market at £600 a pop and 'Quake' was about to be released for the PC.

Manchester City have to go to Anfield and win in the 2nd leg if they want to proceed to the final at Wembley on the 26th of Feb .... where they could meet the might of either Crystal Palace or Cardiff ...... Yes, that's how seriously the big teams take The Carling Cup these days ... The likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea see The League Cup as an opportunity to give their youngsters a run out ...... but for a club like Liverpool .... it has become their World Cup.
