Let's Keep Our Chins Up

Losing is never easy to take but this time around, for the first 44 minutes or so, we controlled the match and failed to score. Milan played for a freekick outside the box and it got a Super Pippo deflection to beat Reina. Football is always a funny thing. Maybe the Gods wanted to even up the contest between the 2nd and 3rd most successful team in European football. When Kuyt scored the consolation with around 3-4 minutes to go, you start to become optimistic but I guess we wouldn't be so lucky in every Cup final that we play.

Anyway, kudos to the boys. They played their hearts out and went down with a fight. I will always be proud of being a Red and a loss will not dampen my love for them. Next season promises much more with a nice transfer kitty in sight, these 2-3 months could prove interesting for us. We'll come back better and stronger. Adversity makes better teams.

You'll Never Walk Alone! Let's look ahead to 2007/2008 with optimisim and conviction.

Tonight's the night!

I have not been blogging for a long time bcoz I was undergoing a personal crisis myself. The Champions League Final did not seem to cross my mind as much as I thought it would be. Anyway, I am Liverpool through and through. Liverpool has been my passion for 17 years. They have given me so much joy and excitement throughout the years. I hope tonight will be another one of those nights. Enjoy my fellow Liverpool fans. It is worth the long wait to see us back in Europe's elite. I am sure I will enjoy it tonight. You'll Never Walk Alone!!

Athens, Here We Come!

We are in the final of the Champions League once more after using two exhibition matches to warm up for that big clash with Chelsea (according to Mourinho). Looks like Chelsea are also fighting for one trophy like us if you do not take into account the Mickey Mouse Cup which is the Carling Cup. I am sure at the start of the season Abramovich would have preferred the Champions League over the Carling Cup and FA Cup double. He may even forgive Mourinho if he wins the Champions League and let slip the Premier League title. But, it seems to me his job is under scrutiny. Perhaps, having Benitez's record isn't that bad after all. Did Abramovich praised Mourinho right out in public like Hicks and Gillett did?

Liverpool are a great club. I have never seen a club where the supporters cheer as much when the chips are down. I would love to have a chance to sit in the Kop one day. I just hope my work and salary warrants me to do so before they build the new stadium. Anyone willing to sponsor me there?

3 weeks from now, we will be celebrating this year's Champions League Winner. Let's pray hard that it is Liverpool that is celebrating. Perhaps, Kewell can make his belated appearance this season and produce a scincillating performance to win us the Cup.

Can hardly wait for the 23rd of May 2007. Cheers to the Kop!!!

We are going to Athens and I'm Disappointed!

Yeah, we managed to make Mourinho looked like a joker with his post match comments saying Chelsea deserved to win and nobody will remember how Chelsea played in the semifinals and lost. I admire him to a certain extent. He has the bollocks to talk about rubbish when shit is thrown right on his face. Perhaps, his stupidity in stirring up our team and the fans was the biggest mistake he ever made. What does he mean by there was 'no atmosphere'? We even sang louder in Stamford Bridge. He must be a real clown! :)

Our team was immense. It was not for the purist but it was definitely for the die-hard Liverpool fans. We showed guts, determination, character and like Rafa always say ' game intelligence'. We fought for each other! Never pointing any fingers for blame. I am so damn delighted Agger scored the equalizing goal. It made all the bombardments against him last week sound stupid. He is class and he is going to improve given his very tender age as a centreback. It is absolutely brilliant we are in another European Cup final. Jose can only eny Rafa by now. Let's see who gets sacked at the end of the season. I am darn sure it's not going to be Benitez.

Kudos to the whole team! Go get a few days break and train hard for the final! We will be behind all of you! You did us all proud yesterday. It makes me even prouder as a Liverpool fan who stuck through the tough times since 1990.


Before I end this post, I would say I am kinda disappointed that MU got kicked out early this morning. I would have loved to beat them in the final and send them licking their wounds back in Manchester. It's just too bad they wont be in Athens. Perhaps they can come and support us in the stands since the likelihood of them returning to a Champions League Final is kinda remote. 1 European Cup Final in 19 or 20 seasons under Fergie? That must have been such a blemish in Fergie's record. Benitez is 2 finals in 3 seasons. Beat that, you SCUM!


We are going to Athens! We are going to Athens!!! Forget Wembley, Athens over Wembley anytime!
