Liverpool 3 West Ham 3 (L'pool win 3-1 on Penalties AET)
Remember when all we talked about was how shit it was to be a red fan? Wasn't that long ago either I might add...We'd reminisce about the glory years gone by and how we'd cling onto the hope that maybe, just maybe, that win at against a permiership B team at the weekend was the start of a new era?
How things have changed.
The miracle in Istanbul and all the emotion wrapped up in that day came flooding back. Joy, despair, more joy, anguish, torment, exhilaration and final relief. Even Thomas (a red fan, but still discovering the beaitiful game) was captivated. Lucy on the flipside, spent most of the second half, extra time and penalties in tears due to the sudden screams and hollering!! She was cheering at the end though
Steven Gerrard is without doubt, the greatest modern day English footballer I have ever witnessed. His ability to lead by example and drag the team to victory when it matters most is outstanding.
This cup final brought all the feelings of being a kid and watching the FA Cup on a Saturday afternoon flooding back. The excitement the week leading up to the game, the build-up on a Saturday morning, right up to KO at 3.00pm. My only regret is that again, I can't be there in Liverpool to see the lads bring the cup home. I missed the Champions league parade and now I've missed the FA Cup. More despair.
The future looks good for us reds now though. Progression each and every campaign. Rafa the Gaffer? You better believe it.
