Every cloud has a silver lining, although you might be hard pressed to convince Liverpool fans of that after their team was dumped out of the Uefa Champions' League last night. The good news, such as it is, is that the Reds will now play in Europe's second-tier competition, the Europa League, screened for free on... Channel Five! Woo-hoo! "The new Europa League has already proved to be a great success and the prospect of Liverpool, Everton and Fulham joining so many famous teams from around Europe in the gripping business end of the tournament is fantastic for Five and all football fans," says Five's head of sport, Robert Charles. It's even better news for Five's football presenter Colin Murray, who is a Liverpool fan. Why the long face, Col?
