got out of the shower too late, saw the opening gambit with the liverpool fans attempts at reconcilliation for heysel, liverpool fans are the best in the world, the most dignified, the most respectful and above all the most passionate.
last night's game was 20 years in the making and despite alaves and the successes of 2001, it felt much more important to our fans and in turn they erupted the place in noise and support. i would have given anything to be there.
i let andy and hils pop over to the hogs head and stayed at home until they'd reached it so i wouldn't miss more of the action than i needed to.
good move. about a minute after they left sami hyypia (sambuca for the rest of the night) scored a belter, it was one of the best most furiocious most passionate, all round most awesome opening to any game i've seen in a long time.
for us, this game and proving outselves against the best in the world meant everything. and those boys played their little hearts out. god bless 'em.
special mention to scott carson! where the fuck did he come from?! absolute legend!!
made it down to the hogs head and had to wait like a plum for about 10 minutes as the other two had fuct off down the end of the street to the atm, i had no money. what was worse is that the volume in the pub was really low, i doubt i'll ever watch an important game there again for that one reason.
watching games on tv is bad enough, i go to the pub for an improved atmosphere... it was better in my house on my own with the vol on max and when sambuca scored the whole place started vibrating madly! if you've ever been round mine you'll know what i mean.
then there was luis garcia's goal. not bad.
fucking absolute legends all of them!
second leg is gonna be tricky, we really needed a third after their goal, the game died down then as both teams seemed to settle for it.
alcohol abuse:
hh - strongbow snakeybee (x3)
fc - fosters + sambuca (x2) + vodka lemo
that was within about an hour and a half. and then i was no use to anyone.
i hate alcohol. sometimes.
i spewed and left. froze my ass off outside waiting for the hils. got in a strop (read: massive, verge of splitting up esque arguement) with her. had angry pissed off sex. it was good.
and its seemed to have solved most of our other beefs with each other.
her sis's mini baboo's are coming round in a bit so i get to meet them for the first time... good job i havent got a hangover so hopefully i can be fun uncle weeeil.
gotta mop the floor now. blehhh.

We did get to hear one of my favourite chants on the televised version, though I suspect only because the Kop was the loudest it's been in years:
He's red, he's sound, he'll twat yer with a pound

I've been to every home CL game this season, but couldn't get a ticket for this one, which really pissed me off.
I don't think we can really complain about the Juve protest, although I am worried about the Ultras next week.
