25th May 2005 - Liverpool FC vs Milan

[DazzlaJ]

The most differing emotions I have ever had in a 3 hour spell.

Excited

Hoping that our momentum would carry us to a win, although not confident.

 

Deflated

Thinking please don't be 5, 6 or 7.

 

f***ing Ecstasy

After the Shevchenko miss.


I remember falling of my bar stool after THAT Dudek save.

I think my first boy might have been conceived that night, the dates work out, although in them days nookie was plentiful instead of a treat 

[Redwire]

I travelled to the game without a doubt in my mind that we would lose.  I was f***ing mad in those days...look at that Milan side.

That's pretty impressive.  That was the one night that year where I could 100% guarantee there was no conceiving being done.

We were on the overnight coach up from Bodrum, ten hours or so, and it kept pulling into services every hour and there’d be other coaches from different points along the coast like ours pulling in and setting off, all the same, full of locals young and old but with half a dozen red-eyed Scousers on each of them, staggering around in the gravel asking how much longer.  At one stop there was a forlorn looking lad sat by the entrance to the cafe all on his own sucking the a*** out of a ciggy, pure up the wall, and as soon as he clocked us he told us his tale of woe - 

 

aaah they’ve jibbed me off lads, me mates aren’t talking to me, but I can’t help myself, every time it gets silent on the coach and everyone is falling asleep and it’s dead dark and still, my nerves go and I can’t help it I just start belting out “we’ll...be...running round Turkey with the cup!  We’ll be...”. Ah lad they’ve all had enough of me lad the whole f***ing coach 

 

And we just shook our heads and went inside for a bit and agreed he’s not f***ing coming with us

 

 

[growler]

My greatest game ever. 
 

came back to England to there for the semi and finals. Couldn’t get tickets to either so watched it with some friends at their house and made a mad decision to go to Liverpool for the parade. Didn’t drink a drop and felt drunk the whole time. Don’t remember seeing the bus at all

I was in Florida... I had two tickets for the match but realised I had two weeks in Florida booked over the dates of the match.. I gave the two tickets to a couple of very grateful mates.. 

Watched it in an Irish pub on International Drive after a quick stop at Chuck E Cheese for some s***ty hot dogs to line the stomach... The pub was filled with LFC fans... A lone Arsenal fan came in at half time cheering and taking the piss and did a fast lap of the pub before legging it after a chase started.. 

Full time was amazing. The place went up. I made a bet with my partner at the time that if we win I would go on one of them Slingshot things... Which I did and regretted immediately after. 

I also rang my mates in Turkey on my mobile from Florida... Cost a fortune 

[Tosh]

I stood staring at the telly in tears of disbelief

[Andy-oh-six]

I had to listen to the pens on an old radio I managed to dig out from somewhere. I just couldn’t bring myself to watch it. Repeated the trick for the 2007 semi pens. Shame I didn’t listen to the 2007 final on it!

[D.Boon]

I had to work. Couldn't get out of it. Somehow managed to avoid the score via blasting headphones and not speaking or looking at anyone and watched it "as live" at a mates house. 

I remember dropping my pants after Dudeks save so suspect I was pissed.

[Gethin]

Basement of the Extra Time Bar in Barbican (now a Pret I think?). All 3 floors rammed with Reds basement was like a sauna, talked my mate out of leaving at Half Time, second half and penalties was carnage. Went straight from work and my suit was a write-off afterwards, pints flying everywhere - worth every penny.

I went to a job interview a week after, but I could still only whisper. Three women interviewing me was not overly impressed. 

[smithdown]

I lit a joint at 3-0 and by the time I finished it we were level.  Survived the whole thing still in me fingers.  Sound.

[Molby]

When I got back to the hotel I was hungry so I had a kebab with rice, chips and salad 

[Bogman]

Wouldn't let my mate, dead now (god rest his sole) back into the pub for the remainder of the game, cos he went out side at half time for a la-de-dar, and was still puffing away when G got us back in the game.

Went home, carried on drinking, watched the hole game again then went to work, w***ered, suited and booted wearing my Liverpool shirt, trousers and jacket.

 

[Hightown Phil]

Finished an exam around this time on the 26th. Had been in the country less than five hours. Then I had a sleep. 

[Cobs]

Name names

lets get this sorted 

[PhilM]

Imagine not liking kebabs with all of the variations available. That's like saying "I don't like music" or "I don't like art".

[smithdown]

I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad kebab

I watched it an rented house in Peckham. 3 of us. 2 reds and blue. Even he got into it. Had some mates over too. We were moving out about 3 weeks later. Somehow the living room got soaked in beer. I've no idea how.
