I remember Kevin Francis coming on for Derby in one game and the kop singing "what the f***ing hell is that"

 

That was funny.

 

And singing match of the day at Shearer was ace.

 

And happy birthday to Kenny this season as well.

I was at there for that. They followed it up with 'there's only one Blackpool tower'.

Was at that. Nail biter of game with epic moments.

Spurs 7-0

Chelsea 05

[Red Kent]

Forgot about Bruges

[Logic]

#1 Kuyt's goal in the 5-0 against AV

#2 Seeing Riera's shot end in the net in the same game (didn't see the shot itself because of the restricted view...)

#3 Realising we got a pen later in the same game (stopped watching our penalties in the shootout the 25th May 2005 and I wasn't going to start there).

#4 Gerrard's goal to make it 4-0 in the same game.

#5 Realising I was probably about to miss the third goal in my first visit to Anfield when we got the second penalty in the same game.

 

As you can see I've only been once to Anfield. Can't wait for next time! Hopefully I'll see more goals than I don't then!

[JRC]

St Etienne

Chelsea 2005

Olympiakos

Forest 5-0

Newcastle 4-3 96

 

Subs bench would include Bruges, Arsenal 2008 CL QF, the Fairclough Derby in 77 and Roma when Ged came back.

 

Beating Utd to deny them the league in 92(?) was great, but putting it top 5 would be small-time. But, boy, was it good, especialy as there were some angry and over emotional Mancs in the Main Stand near by. Never have I enoyed others pain so much.

 

Would also say I left Arsenal 89 desperately sad, but immensely proud of how close we got, considering the trauma of the previous 6 weeks, and how the fans still stayed to applaud Arsenal.

Yeah, I nearly included that Manc 1992 'always look on the bright side game'. I kinda regret that orgy of schadenfreude now, as it heralded the beginning of their bloody golden age.

 

Auxerre is worthy of honourable mention, as is Palace 9-0, and Roma 2002.

Roma 2002

Barca 2001

Newcastle 2002 (floodlight failure) - the atmosphere was great 40,000 singing and chanting waiting for the match to start.

I knew it at the time.

 

"This is going to come back on us"

 

I actually said that in the pub after.

The outpouring of emotion with the crowd and Rafa yesterday was certainly a top moment in Anfield, in obvious darkened circumstances. Brilliant from the crowd and brilliant from an absolute huge LFC man. How can he possibly manage any other club bar ours, with the same passion at least.

whereas I said - "that's it, they'll NEVER win the league now, the losers"

 

things did not pan out as I'd hoped
