A day in the life of a Liverpool Fan: Liverpool Vs Man City Carling cup Semi Final 2nd Leg 25/01/2012
Jan 26 2012 09:49 PM | Lukemeister in General Interest
As some of you may know already, I went to watch the game against City yesterday, so I thought I'd make a short article of the day and my view on the game.
I woke up at about 8.45 AM with some excitement for the day ahead in Liverpool and the game that night. So I had no problem getting myself ready for the day even though I didnt have much sleep the night before because of excitement. We were off for Liverpool at about 11.30 AM once everyone had finished getting ready. The car was cramped it was an alright journey; good weather for a long drive and some decent music on the radio, we finally arrived in Liverpool City centre at about 2.30PM once we figured out where we were meeting some family of 2 of the friends I went with.
Once we had parked up we split up for a few hours, 3 of us went to look at shops while the other 2 went to meet their family. We headed into Liverpool One which is the main shopping area in the City centre. It is pretty funny actually, LFC shop is there and nearly direct opposite is Everton club shop. We looked round shops for a while and I bought a new Jacket for the night ahead. After a while we decided to go track down everyone else.
We found them a short time later in an Irish pub in the City centre; there was a good atmosphere in the pub (full of Liverpool fans) and we stopped there for a few drinks soaking up the atmosphere until we decided we wanted some food. We got some food then we decided we thought we best head to near the ground before traffic on the road got too busy.
We parked up about ten minutes walk from the ground at 6.15 giving us an hour and half to spare. We got directed to a pub on the way to the ground by people who live there who we had met up with and I will say this, the atmosphere was buzzing, everyone was up for the game and the closer it came to Kick off the more we started chanting Liverpool songs. We headed to the ground at about 7.30 giving us 15 minutes until kick off, we easily got into the stadium and found our seats.
When we made it in the Kop and got to our seats the atmosphere was AMAZING to put it simply, it was like a Cup final night, just amazing I cant describe it you have to have been there to feel it. My honest opinion on the game was we played better then City but we couldnt finish our chances and the few City got they took. When the first city goal went in we thought oh here we go :/ but when we got that dubious penalty awarded everyone was praying hearts in their mouths. As soon as the ball hit the back of the net the Kop end went off like a firework. As I said it was an amazing atmosphere, we all went absolutely crazy; the worst part of the game for me was the final 15 minutes or so when it was 2-2, my heart was beating so fast it was unreal. The 3 stoppage minutes seemed like 30 minutes we just wanted that whistle to go and when it did it was surreal; singing You'll Never Walk Alone in the Kop when you know Liverpool are going to Wembley is spine tingling. Man of the match for me was Bellamy he was superb all the time he was on.
We decided to head straight home after the match. The journey home was not as good as the journey there, really heavy traffic coming out of Liverpool, diversion because of a bad accident and bad weather made it not the most enjoyable journey home. Finally made it home at 2 AM this morning.
Hope you all enjoyed reading next installment which will be after the 26th of next month hopefully if I can get ticket for Wembley.
