Liverpool 2016/17

[casserole of nonsense]

No Stony, I am far from happy. I am one of those "this is our year" fans, every season I expect us to win the League. I was 22 when we last won it, I'm 48 now and every year the frustration gets worse! If we had won it in in 2014, I would have gladly given up my seasie and let the younger lot go. I've got high blood pressure because those f**kers can't win us the League...

Bet you would't have given up your season ticket. You'd have been back for more, you know you would! When Mancini won us the FA Cup and then the league the year after, I thought "right, I've seen all I wanted to see, all I dreamed of seeing through all those miserable years, I'm stopping now, we'll never top the Aguero moment". But I'm still there every week, home and away, even those horrible UEFA matches.

Maine Road was known as The Wembley of the North.

Also Vale Park https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vale_Park and seemingly Roker Park and a proposed ground for Derby County...

You're probably right, hard to walk away.......your Aguero moment, even I went crazy when he scored that, you'll never top it as a single moment. We had the reverse, Michael Thomas in 89!!
Those UEFA matches will be worth it if you win it.

The Aguero moment would have been the time to walk away, wouldn't it? But I couldn't, not for want of thinking seriously about it. I look around me at home matches now and I don't like what I see. Aways are still good, mainly because it's the time-served and devoted that get the tickets and some of the grounds are still proper.

I'm not sure I care whether we win the UEFA thing, that ain't what it used to be either.

I had just moved to Barnsley at the time, and I warned my lad that the pub would be full of rags and not to rub it in too much if we won. We were the only blues in the pub and they had two screens, one with the rags/sunderland game and another in the main bar with City/Qpr.
When the final whistle went at Sunderland a huge fucking cheer went up from the back of the pub with all the local rags jumping up and down. Then you know what happened. I cheered, but I still didn't really let go until the final whistle, years of seeing us fuck up had seen to that. When it did blow and I saw Joe Hart launch that ball, it was fucking indescribable. We were the only blues in the pub and every single person who wasn't a rag came up to us and shook our hands. Barnsley fans, both sheff clubs, Leeds, Liverpool fans(more than a few) even gooners. I didn't take my own advice and was bouncing up and down in a rapidly emptying back room as all the local rags scuttled off home. I will admit that the local rag I had been talking to throughout the game was magnanimous in defeat. What a fucking day.

Liverpool were at Swansea, we had just conceded in a 1-0 defeat, you were 2-1 down, United 1-0 up. Absolute shocker of a last day. then Dzeko, teased it and when Aguero scored, small-time or not, I celebrated that goal like a lunatic. Never done that for a non-Liverpool goal before, partly because it was incredible, but mainly because you twatted them in the process. How it must have felt for you lads, I can't even imagine.

Indescribable. I remember going away to Bury and more City fans being in Gigg lane than Bury fans and we still fucked up. Winning the league less than 15 years later was unbelievable. When I started supporting City, Mike Summerbee was in his pomp. When I first took my lad, Nicky Summerbee was playing for us.

Not small time, I've had people from all sorts of teams tell me they celebrated that moment harder than any goal not from their side. The drama of the moment, the fact that it was the rags, all contributed to it.

We were teased the last few weeks of that season. Hearing the rags were beaten away while we beat West Brom at home and our fans walking home were thinking of the permutations of what could happen when Everton played the rags was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've enjoyed as a football fan. The permutations and then what occurred was the most delirious, delicious and enjoyable day when we played QPR.

Why are there so many rags in Barnsley, Stony? Both my Barnsley cousins are rags, both no reason to be, both never been to the swamp. What's going on?
