Liverpool Thread 2014/15

[squirtyflower]

Growing up I always wanted to be a sports reporter, but probably best I didn't take that career path as that would have been my exact response to Brenda at the mention of missing Flanagan.

Anyway, in other news, apparently tickets are now selling for nearly £2k for "Dat Dare Steeeevvviiiiieee Geeeeeee"s last game at Anfield. What is that about???!!!!!

I actually don't mind the lad but the media forning all over him is sickening already. Media blackout for me this weekend (other than City Swansea obviously)

Palace to claim a draw after being 0-3 down?

Can't see that ever happening
Liverpool only ever come back from 3-0 down, they would never lose a 3 goal lead

I really don't know what I was thinking.

Of course, the Mourners would never let that happen.

Would they?

Can you imagine the weight on this man's shoulders? The sheer burden on this Atlas, lugging around the hopes and dreams of millions of Liverpool supporters worldwide for all this time? The critical mass of his own dreams and hopes of glory for his own club? It's not measurable. It's not comparable to things you and I have experienced or ever will. His rewards have been great - the luxury and comfort of a great life, the acclaim - but the weight on his shoulders? The screaming catcalls of his inferiors mocking his every mistake at every turn, thousands of horrible cretins giving him two fingers, emptying the reservoirs of their abuse in his face, plastics eponymously laminating signs to commemorate an error that had almost nothing to do with them. He's a human being and all these barbs left their marks, surely.

But he's so much more than a man, isn't he? He is an avatar of our potential greatness manifest. People will argue that he was born great, but this discounts the countless hours he spent breaking himself down and building himself up again, getting himself fit for club and country year after year after year. Never failing to answer the call when it rang out across the commons.

I am a soft c*nt, sitting here with wet eyes trying to find words worthy of a man who has meant so much to me. That goal against West Ham, the violence of that strike, a howitzer like I've never seen before, in a moment when mere mortals would have shit themselves to death. And coming hot on the heels of number 5 a year earlier. It felt like we had turned a corner and would never stop winning things again. It didn't work out that way.

BUT ...

You say the word "Istanbul" in this context enough times, it becomes nearly a cliche. Our enemies and naysayers far and wide remind us that it was 10 years ago and ask what we have done for them lately. We know better, don't we? Miracles never devolve into the mundane - they are, by their nature, eternal, immortal. We had no business winning that title. We could have folded at any point and no one would have blamed us. We were undermanned, overmatched, at just about every stage of that tournament.

But we had Steven Gerrard, and that made all the difference. That always made all the difference. He always made all the difference. His imperfections and mistakes kept him close to us, because he was and is one of us. He's only human.

But he's so much more than that.

Fuck me that could have been written by some of those twats who receive an Oscar and then proceed to thank the fucking world and his wife.
Comical Ali at his best.

^lol funny as that is you've just scratched the surface on RAWK:

A song for Gerrard:

You're just too good to be true
Can't take the ball off of you
You've got a heavenly touch
Just like Souness and Rush
When we're all drunk in the bars
We thank the lord that you're ours
You're just too good to be true
Can't take the ball off of you............

My God, they are off the twatzoid scale and hilariously, they think everyone loves them for it. Slippers.

Also WTF is this" We had no business winning that title. shite. Has anyone told Rawk that they didn't win the title?

Couldn't agree more.

Brenda, you sadly believe your own rhetoric and you have been exposed as the fraud that you are. They had an ideal opportunity to retain a CL spot this year and Brenda has blown it big style. They will now be tinkering mid table for another decade or so.

But at least they will be able to write some tear jerking poems about it.
