    Did you see Dimitar Berbatov's unusual interview today? The one where he interviewed himself? It's incredible.

    You can read it in full here, but let me dig out a little snippet to entice you...

    Dimitar Berbatov, the journalist, asks: "Some media say you don't want to play for PAOK any more?"

    And Dimitar Berbatov, the footballer, replies: "This is why I am giving an interview to you, and not to people who are coming up with stupid things like this."

    Before we go any further, I want to open up tonight's debate. Below is a little graphic we produced on Saturday... and I think it'd be great if you guys produced your own 'Be like' spin-offs with a football theme.

    Keep them clean and we'll use some of the best ones. If you're sick of Bill, Jurgen or whoever else you've been told to model yourself on, feel free to head straight to the next entry.

    Liverpool v Stoke (19:45 GMT) (agg 1-0)

    Evening all. Ready for some cup semi-final action?

    Of course you are.

    Liverpool lead 1-0, but Stoke are more than capable of turning the deficit around. We might need 90 minutes, we might need 120 minutes or we might need penalties.

    But one way or the other, we'll be waving off one set of supporters to Wembley later tonight.

    The Wembley arch is coming into view.

    Liverpool fans can almost touch it. Stoke fans too.

    Jurgen Klopp? He can't see a thing because his glasses are broken.
