Finally! - Gotta read this about the game...

Liverpool Football Club - General Discussion

Postby dawson99 » Wed Apr 06, 2005 7:21 pm

Right people.
As some of you may know (none of you WILL know) I never really write on here in the evening, but today I have to.
Im always complaining about the press, as are we all, and about how Liverpool are always getting the tough end of the stick.
All the papers today, broadsheets and tabloids were just concentrating on the Carson ‘Howler’ and not mentioning the skills.
Then I saw this title: Superhuman effort keeps reds in hunt’
Where did I read this? The Liverpool echo? Nope.

The Evening Standard. London’s very own daily tabloid. The ooters actually have something to finally be proud of ;)

Im not gonna type it all word for word, but it’s a fantastic article, and here are a few snippets for you.

“Liverpool are fast emerging as the Clark Kent of European Football. They enter the champions league telephone box as stuttering, bashful mere mortals and emerge as world-conquering superheroes”

What a fantastic opening eh? Wanna hear a little more? Alrighty then…

“Their first half performance last night could have been scripted by a comic book writer as they put Juventus to the sword with a display that reminded Liverpool fans of the club’s finest European nights…
…Inspirational skipper Steven Gerrard played the part of superman to perfection as he delivered one of the most stirring performances of his Liverpool career. One moment he was reeling off majestic passes, another he was whipping in vicous set pieces or he was breaking up Juve attacks with the tenacity of a pitbull”

The article goes on and on in this manner, but does say that the job is only half done, and the second half is where the real work needs to be done.

Im only writing this as I want people to know that not all of London hates Liverpool. Journalist Wayne Veysey is one fan we can definitely count on to rile up the fans in the best way possible.

Come on you reds!!!!

.. that's a nice read...

...I suppose one gets to the point where you just stop reading the press and enjoy the moment.. knowing the effort your team has put in, the passion with which they have played and the driving force of a focused leader at the helm.. Benitez of course..

I myself only read the Guardian.. and it's reporting can be ok at times..  but ain't LFC.tv a good read when we win :)

Yep a few headlines today where mostly about Carsons howler and not the fantastic scenes we witnessed.
There is no-one anywhere in the world at any stage who is any bigger or any better than this football club.

For me the Sunday Times is head and shoulders above the rest of the drivel out there. I buy it every week (if we win) - they must cut down a whole forrest to make one copy but i only read the sport supplement (this takes most of Sunday to do!). There was a cracking article in there on Sunday along the same lines as this one with the focus being our fantastic form in Europe. They also printed a picture (which i have since cut out) with Stevie, Carra and Rafa depicted as the Incredibles (although they reworded it to the improbables). It was pretty cool. Would certainly make a make a great banner or descktop - I want one! Jonny Mac? ????

Hmm readin the article made me realize something.  If we beat Juventus 4-1 away :D  then we'll have the same aggregate as against Bayern Leverkusen !!  Im off to put my money down for that.  I wonder if there are even odds for such a rediculous score
