Who’s goal was better? Cristiano Ronaldo’s or Alex’s?

OK, both were outstanding goals in their own right, but what we at Football Corner want to know is, who’s was better?

Tuesday night saw Chelsea defender Alex score an unbelievable 30-yard free-kick which helped Guus Hiddink’s men earn a place in the last four of the Champions League. FIFA World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo scored one of the goals of the season on Wednesday night against Porto. His 35-yard screamer earned Manchester United a semi-final tie with Arsenal.

So who will you vote for? If I was picking myself, I would probably go for Ronaldo’s only because it was from open play. Please place your vote below.

Liverpool do Hillsborough victims proud

It was an emotional day at Anfield as Liverpool remembered the victims of the Hillsborough tragedy.

96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death during their side’s FA Cup quarter-final clash with Nottingham Forest after police made the decision to allow too many fans into the away section in Hillsborough that day.

As I watched today’s service at Anfield, I couldn’t help but feel a huge sense of admiration for the people of Liverpool. The two minute silence that marked the occasion was incredible. Not a sound for the 120 seconds.

Despite last night’s exit from the Champions League, the Liverpool fans gave Rafa Benitez’ men an unbelievable reception as they took their seats for the service. You would excpect nothing less from fans who are undoubtedly among the best in the world.

I am sure the friends and families of those who died in Sheffield 20 years ago will have been delighted with how the day went.

Liverpool still left with a mountain to climb

In the end, it was a weekend that did little to change the outcome of this seasons Premier League title race.

Manchester United still look firmly on course to claim their third title in as many years, whilst Liverpool still have a mountain to climb if they are to win their first title in nearly twenty years.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s men showed a great deal of character (or just got lucky) beating Sunderland 2-1 at the Stadium of Light on Saturday. This result came just a few hours after Rafa Benitez’ men comfortably saw off Blackburn 4-0 at Anfield on what was a highly emotional day on Merseyside as Liverpool fans remembered the 96 fans who died in Hillsborough twenty years ago.

With just six games to go now, you would have to saw it is Uniteds title to lose. They now sit just a point above Liverpool, however they also have a game in hand which is against Wigan in a months time.

I feel next week’s matches will tell us a lot as to where the Premier League trophy eventually ends up. Liverpool host the in-form Arsenal whilst United welcome Portsmouth to Old Trafford. Who do you think will win the title? Comments below please.

Apologies for the lack of posting over the last week or so.
