If I can ramble for a second....................
I REALLY REALLY feel that the players and fans have really learned and grown through our tribulations this year.
1) Gerrard has been brought down to earth.
2) Rafa truly knows his team better (even with the massive injuries) and the team is being sharpened and fine-tuned.
3) We have stepped up in Europe when it has counted (even with all of the injuries) and we know that we have the class to win.
4) Crucial players are getting their sealegs for the Premiership.
5) I am learning to be faithful to a team that hasn't always been the sexiest.
We have had worse "luck" (if you believe in such a thing) and we have stepped up most of the time.
Plus:
- We have to win at least once against Chelsea this year statistically speaking. I would trade a win on Tuesday for all 3 previous losses.
- We are going to play the deciding game at Anfield.
- We have won many games in the CL without Alonso.
Sounds like Chelsea is about to be upset next Tuesday.
Alonso's tears clearly show how much he cares. (As an aside, would Steven have felt so bad?) Next week, it will be tears of joy.
Walk on Reds..................
Mourinho was customizing his flashy blue racing car -- applying the finishing touches of go-faster stripes, aerodynamic spoilers and a fat f@ck you exhaust -- while on his red car, Benitez was trying to glue together a broken chassis, repair bodywork and replace burst tyres.
