As good as beaten at half time. Three goals down and not a goal for Liverpool, the fans feeling almost defeated. I was working at the club and the atmosphere was so low that I contemplated going home but I decided to stay.
Fourteen minutes into the second half Liverpool have scored three goals and equalized! The atmosphere at the club, in the town, and probably in the entire Merseyside region, was electric!! (For you Americans, Liverpool is effectively the ‘capital’ of the Merseyside region.) Not a car was on the road, EVERYONE it seemed was watching the match.
Eventually the team win after extra time and a penalty shoot out. The most amazing and unheard of comeback in Champions League football. It was amazing – and I’m not even a fan! :)
I have to go into the city tomorrow afternoon for a meeting. They’re going to parade the cup through the city, I’ll see if we can get out of the meeting early enough to watch the team parade the cup through the city which will be a sea of red. The atmosphere in the city will be amazing I’m quite sure of that.

Hey, I’m just pleased for the city. I won £100 because ten of us put a £10 note each in an envelope then wrote down what minute we thought the first goal would be scored in. I wrote down that their would be a goal within the first minute, the others laughed at me saying that was evidence that I knew nothing about the game.
After just 53 seconds I was the only man in Merseyside who was smiling, albeit not to much :-)

Yay Liverpool! :-) I bet it was fun. It’s always exciting to see the team of your town win a game, even when you’re not a fan. Something in the air, all the riotousness, the happy cheer that will linger for days… ahh I miss that :-) Glad you had a blast!

your photography? love it. theres a difference between a picture and a photograph.. you only seem to have photographs. and yes, the grand central station one is by far the best. just wondering… do you care if i steal it? i want to blow it up to fit on an entire wall… thought i’d ask first.. maybe this will count as having it in writing.
thanks again,Megan
