When I started out following the reds the trophies just kept coming, it was great but I was too young to get the full enjoyment of it. At 12 our last league title would arrive, never thought id have a wait of 30 years for the next one.
In that time we won an FA cup, was big then, and gave the feeling that something big was just around the corner..2 of the worst seasons ever followed..Roy Evans came in. The league cup win had me thinking the good times are just around the corner, but despite some lovely football the good times didnt come back
Enter Gerard. Probably the bleakest point of my time, to that point. Then bang 2001 yes now your talking trophies, were back. A few more cups over the next couple of seasons was nice but still not getting there....
Enter Rafa, boom, heaven European cup bagged....now were back, FA cup and title challenges, anytime now the league will be back, but then bang, cock owners ruin it...I should have known. Enter Hodgson, now officially the worst time of my tenure as a supporter......
Out go the knob owners out goes Roy, in comes the king, in comes a cup, hang on that didnt take long....boom, the king is out, are these more knob owners? Rodgers comes in, hmm give him a chance.....lovely football, nearly pulls it off, failure to take what you have stops him ending the famine.....out he goes..........
Enter this man.......really, words cant be found. Everything about him and what he has done.... Another European cup and then the holy grail, he ends the famine and in style. This month he brings us a European cup quarter final, and all going well a semi ginal. He brings us an FA cup semi final and he brings us a potential title decider. Weeks after bagging the league cup.
No matter what we end up its just a pleasure to be on this journey again, here we go gathering cups (maybe ) in May. Some still like a moan about things. Just enjoy living in this moment. Enjoy what this man has brought and is bringing. Take it from the likes of me who had it, thought it was a given, seen it taken away, thought it might never be back and now hear it is, the good times going for the league, going for the European cup,, the FA cup and the league cup already secured.
All down to this man.....7 weeks to go, lets get full on behind him and the lads....Enjoy the ride
