My heart says Carra. My head says "whatever people with better memories and better analytical minds than me say". =)

With friends like Gerrard17...

That's the one. The towel and beachball came free with the shirt! I was young and stupid. =) It's still available on the Web if you know where to look.

Oh, yeah. Sorry, not gay enough to spot that one. Although anyone that remembers my "new kit" photo from a few seasons ago may beg to differ. wasn't it?

Choon! Or, rather, tune?

If I get a ticket, I'm in, although it's a little short notice to grow anything decent (for me). My preferred style would be the Fu Manchu or Ming the Merciless.

I agree. I've never done it before as I don't agree with the practice of buying tickets with no intention of going to the match, purely for the sake of a future credit (or indeed to sell the ticket on for a profit). However, it's something that has definitely crossed my mind for next season. Whether I will actually try to do it remains to be seen as it goes against my principles, but so does missing out on a big final when I've been to all the home games.

Just seen on the RAWK "Chumpions!" thread linked from Snorky's pissed ramblings thread: REDS GO TO ATHENS AND SLAY LIKE ACHILLES MANCS STAY AT HOME AND PLAY WITH THEIR WILLIES Well, it made me chuckle. :coat:

We made John Terry cry.

We have dreams and songs to sing We have the team and Rafa to bring Us glory on the fields of Athens, aye. I'll get my coat.

Sorry, I know what you mean. 2005 was euphoric, though. So long since we'd last got to a Big Ears final, beating Chelsea in such tense fashion, getting there against the odds, the whole lot. Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic about Athens. I sang and shouted so much on Tuesday that I could hardly speak by the end of it. Certainly not blasé. Getting to the final in 2007 is special, but getting there in 2005 was a different kind of special for me. I guess I've just said it again. Sorry.

Coincidentally, 1992 is the year I started going to matches at Anfield. No way I could have afforded a season ticket though, even at 1992 prices (£11.50 for the Kop, IIRC). By the time I could, the queue had formed. If I'd put my name on the waiting list when I first thought about getting a ST, I'd have had one years ago, but I didn't and I still don't have one. I'm an idiot.

2005. 2005 was just a glorious run. 2007 hasn't felt as special, to me. For example, the PSV home game was pretty much a done deal after the 3-0 win away. As others have said, 2005 was relatively unexpected, and we really had some awesome games in the build-up to the Chelsea match (e.g. Olympiakos). For whatever reason, I don't feel as excited about Athens as I did about Istanbul.

Punch him in the c**k.

What about FCHs that are on the ST waiting list? Shouldn't they get priority over "normal" FCHs? =)

The hour of highlights is on Sky Sports 1 at 2:30pm.

Eurosport's snooker has just finished. Back "after the football" - so hopefuly the CL match - watch this (that) space... Edit: Bah, nope. Moto GP then some under-17 thing or suchlike. Feckers.

I think I read that they plan on making it a single tier, too, unlike either end in the image above. \o/

Shame I've nothing to play it on...

What trophies?
