You'll Never Walk Alone...

Almost all of us watched this wonderful ECC final where Liverpool claimed the title 5th times at bangzhi house early this morning. Yup, I do agree that Milan looked the stronger of both sides, both on paper and field. However, the spirit of Liverpool players and their fans prevailed. I really think that the spirit of Liverpool is very amazing, just a few points to show that great spirit that the Kops have that no other EPL team can match.

Before this i just wanna state that i'm not a Liverpool fan, but as a neutral, i really very 感動 that they've won it.

First, the famous song "You'll Never Walk Alone". I know a lot of English team had their own songs. Fans kept singing in the stadium, supporting their own team throughout the season. However which other team had a more famous song than the Liverpool's??? Though till now i still cant catch the melody of this song, I believe everyone who watches football will no doubt know that this is the official song of Liverpool FC. Did MAn U, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle or any other team with a song achieving such popularity and fame?? No, amazing right??? The Liverpudlians made it famous.

Secondly, this is read from the Newpaper. The support the team get from the fans is tremendous. In the 80,000 capacity stadium in Istanbul, only 10k were Milan fans and the rest of 70k were Liverpool fans. To think that Milan is so much nearer to Istanbul than Liverpool is, the ratio of the fans really shows how fucked up Milan is man. HAHAHA... I dunno how they amnaged to get hold of so many tix, but it just showed that Liverpool fans willing ot pay any price to get into the stadium to support their team.

Thirdly, i think Liverpool FC is really a very special club. For those who bought Newpaper today will saw at the last page the "Regards to S'pore fans from Rafa Benitez" and then his signature. I believed he did the same to their fans world-wide. They sincerely thanks the fans for their support man. I cant remember any other team doing that. Certainly Porto didn't do that last season, neither did Milan in 2003, Real Mardrid in their 3 victories recently nor Manchester United in their Treble-winning season in 1999. I never saw a team paying the press $$ for 1 whole page thanking their fans. And for your info, Liverpool always connect to their fans in this amnner which i think is veyr great<----can't think of a better word cos my english very lan...

If you guys remembered, several years back, when Liverpool ex-captain Jamie Redknapp left Liverpool for Tottenham Hotspur because he no longer featured in then manager Gerard Houllier's plan, he actually published a personal letter at Newpaper also. In it, he expressed his thanks and appreciated the supports shown from the Liverpool fans. He regretted leaving the club and Liverpool will always hold a very special place in his heart. So touching man!!! I think really, clubs like MAn U, Chelsea and Real Madrid really only exist to earn $$ and so on, but to me, Liverpool, clubs and players, play football to 答謝 their fans.

And then, just now i watched the ESPN sportscenter, showing the vicotry of Liverpool again. The commentator actually said that a lot of former Liverpool boys were there supporting for the current team of Liverpool players. That includes John Barnes, Peter Beardsley, Jamie Redknapp, Robbie Fowler and Steve McManaman n so on so on..... Amazing right!!! The players were so attached to the club they played for. I think no other club can match that.... I doubt former Milan player like Gullit,Rrjkaard, Van Basten, Desailly n bla bla were in Istanbul supporting Milan... Impressive Liverpool.....

Liverpool is a port in England that made famous by Beatles and their local football club. Let's celebrate Liverpool's victory man.
