I was still away in Madrid during this game, so again, am posting my post-match thoughts through the medium of the text conversations with Bifurcated David and Liverpool Rob…

ME: *Hola mi chico! Do you mind awfully letting me know the scores of the main title protagonistas del dia. Gracias. Luego. Amor. bX*
BD: *Surely will*
BD: *0-0 HT. Apparently poor*
LR: *Ur 2-1 down!*
LR: *U remain losers. u abandoned them and they couldn’t cope! X*
ME: *As in life: losers are the real winners.*
BD: *We lost 2-1. Rooney with another free kick. Behind twice in the game*
ME: *Qué coñazo. We were at home?*
BD: *Yes*
ME: *Double qué coñazo*
BD: *Mos def.*
