Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart...

When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm,
There's a golden sky,
And the sweet silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone…

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone…
You'll never walk alone.

It's starting to sink in a little now. We did beat Juventus. Convincingly. Over two legs. With a patched up side missing most ouf our first team players. It defies belief if you look at Liverpool's league performances this season, ie. losses to the saints and citeh etc, which even prompted a forummer to come up with this gem:

'If Shankly was alive, he'd be turning in his grave'

And now we're in the Semi finals of a competition where only Europe's elite participate. But then Liverpool have always been the Kings of Europe; the best performing English team in the history of all European competitions.

Nothing beats the nervousness of those 90 minutes. I was sat in a pub, screaming, cussing, and shaking with anxiety and fearing the worst every time Juve would come anywhere near our penalty area. Not even England defending the one goal lead against Argentina at Japorea 02; as a goal conceded would've taken the game into extra time.

Here, a goal would've meant The End.

Am I the happiest man on earth? Sure am. Am I proud to be part-scouse? Damn right I am. Thank you Rafa, the 11 on the field, the subs, the club staff and all the travelling fans.

As expected there were some serious disturbances before the game, Liverpool fans were attacked at pubs in Italy and stuff was being thrown at them before, during and after the game. The most sickening thing was some of the banners on display. Here's a selection:





Bet they'd wanna forget the result though.


And here's the Italians behaving gracefully.














A plastic bottle? Oh ur a hard fucker aint ya!
