Took the day off work to prepare in the obvious fashion.

I watched the first half down my local, all kitted out and the lot, sadly because i live 'dan Saff' i was surrounded by Manc and Chelski supporters, by half time i was gutted, and getting it from so many angles, i felt like a lass in a porn flick,

So i decided to stroll off home to watch the second half and continue to drown my sorrow,

Well we all know the story of the next hour and a half, needless to say at full time i sprinted back to the pub to shamelessy gloat!!! cracking day!!
As always I am focused on supporting the Cloob and the Manager

Istanbul fell right smack bang in the middle of my college exams. I'd just finished with my ex and needed something to get me through a hard time - that's what Istanbul is for me and what LFC means to me

The build up was absolutely amazing tho, I went to college with red hair, with the club colours on buzzing away. I remember being 3:0 down at half time, my ma walked in the room and gave me that look that said we were done. I laughed (it was that or cry) and told her we could still win it, probably more convincing myself than actually believing it. I never switched off tho, never. Other than that I don't rmember a great deal cos I was only 16 and had a lot more going on, their third goal was amazing tho as was Dudek's point blank double save - that was when I knew we were going to do it. I told he ex to do one that night, I had better things to think about :D the rest is history I guess

Needless to say I failed my exam the next day, with flying colours :D

Sat in me front room with me rents. Them ripping it out of me at half time. I went to make a cuppa and said to them, we can still win. I still say that cuppa won us that to this day, and i'm not superstitious normally.
