I am by nature a cynic
I am by nature critical
I am by nature someone who hates losing
All of these together make me not very good company to say the least when we get beat
However
I can only state how proud I was to be a Red last night. The way the team played in the face of such adversity made me realise truly how lucky I am to support LFC. A monumental task was in front of a manager and team without their best player who just happens to be the game-winner. Was he missed? Probably, but to watch the performance last night you wouldnt have thought so. There was a mountain to be climbed and we gave our very best shot and were so unlucky not to reach the summit.
I liken it to the "Thriler in Manila" where Ali and Frazier slugged it out all those years ago. It ended much the same with Chelsea and ourselves worn out and with them praying for the final whistle. Im sure if we would have carried on another ten minutes we would have won. Who knows? But to come within one goal of winning after being 3 away goals down must surely rank as the game of the season?
Rafa and the players must take credit for a truly valiant effort which had a whole host of emotions (mostly fear for Chelsea fans and then relief) throughout a fantastic contest.
As I said at the beginning, I am a fierce critic when I believe that people dont try their best. And although I could be pedantic and pick out one or two mistakes I wont because this was not about mistakes. It was about courage, passion, determination and effort. What our team did last night was magnificent and for me has done two things:
Shown once again that LFC is a force to be reckoned with and given us the belief that we can push on for the title.
With performances like that we cannot be that far away
Well done to everyone.

Well said, Sir Roger.

After about two hours of bitching and moaning and complaining that we were dumped out of the CL by a player who shouldn't be allowed to play football because of his cheating (Drogba) I went to bed unusually happy because I'm a Liverpool supporter.

The team were up against it from the off but went for it anyway. A never-say-die attitude that I hope will continue in the league.

Come on you red men!

do you know what draining the CL tie is? man u will crack soon due to fatigue. :cool:

by **GYBS** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 4:31 pm

That was my point Octsky , unfortunalty it gets lost on some

by **KennyisGod....still** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 7:24 pm

only problem with the CL bein drainin is manure aint really got any travellin overnite $h1t now, jus a trip to london. wudv been nice hasd they had to go to outer siberia or summat! I really aint bothered which of them gets to the final, jus so long as manure dont win it. like to see the goonies win it if its to be a british club, 2nd choice wud be barca. 3rd choice wud be cancel the whole thing due to lack of interest.

Great post. Totally agreed and it is bang in line with everything I have been saying to anyone who will listen over the passed 48 hours.

I am so proud to support Liverpool. Such an amazing club, great fans, great history. Recently awesome on the field and Tuesday night was fantastic and that's after a loss so it must have been some acheivmet. I got a text from a mate who is a Leeds fan at half time saying 'only Liverpool FC could do this' and that sort of says it all realy. Gutted we scored 4 but we shaln't dwell on the negatives.... The fans did a sterling job as ever. Yesterday, though, well yesterday topped it off. I was watching the events unfold in a sombre state but with an enormous sense of pride for the people of Liverpool, the fans, the club and everybody involved. Such a terrible day on the grand scheme of things but in a way it has shown so many people in the public domain the truth and hopefully it will have done alot of good. t must have been a unbelievably hard day for the berieved, I think the club did a good job for the family's as they have done ever since. I think it was god to see the JF96 chant blasted out, I have heard others say it marred the day it was about remembrence not revolt, but I am not sure...

I have always been proud to be a tiny member of this wonderful establishment, never more so than today.
