To put it mildly, the result was disappointing. It hurt. But at the same time, the ride to get there was fantastic and glorious. For two hours I was THIS CLOSE to experiencing one of the most joyful moments of my life. We Liverpool fans were really, really alive.
“What do we say to the God of Death? … Not today.” Last week, Manchester City pushed Liverpool to the brink of [highly-probable] elimination in the Premier League. The Reds pushed back.
