A very good year

Big E · March 1, 2006

Brilliant post from TTWAR, i've added a few of my own:

So since 2001 the following has happened (of the top of my head):

New songs to have taken off:

Hou leads the Reds out

Tell me ma (Cardiff twice-1977 version revamped)

FOAR (First new Liverpool song since when ? At Anfield the Forest will fall, Scouser Tommy, Underneath the Floodlights 1978/79 ?)

Allez Allez Gerard Houllier (sung for at least 45 minutes non-stop in Boavista)

Michael Owen won the cup (Arsenal song about Charlie Nicholas thrown back at them)

Liiiiiiverpooool (Italian tune-first basic Liverpool chant since ?Liverpool Liverpool? to ?Here We Go? circa 1981. First heard at Goodison 2001 finally penned at Arsenal 2002)

John Arne Riise (Dortmund 2001)

We?ve got a big Pole in our goal (Brucie song revamped)

Can?t take the ball of you (Ste Gerrard)

Ring Of Fire (Fulham 2004)

Rafa La Bamba (the best manager song ever-sung for 15 minutes non-stop at Spurs Carling Cup 2004)

Ste Gerrard Gerrard

We all dream of a team of Carraghers

Mor Mor Mor -Morientes

We Won it 5 times

His feet stick out of bed-Peter Crouch

You aint got no history

Gary Neville shags..

Duncan is a tampon/Everton in Europe

Rockin/Scousers all over the world

Gary Macca/ Love yer baldy head

Luis Garcia drinks sangria

Great atmospheres:

Roma home and away 2001

Barca semi 2001

Man Utd 2001 (There?s only one Jap Stam)

Roma 2002 - GH returns

Ipswich/Garry Mac send off 2002

Birmingham away 2003

Spurs away Carling Cup 2004 (described by John Mac from RAWK as the best away atmosphere since Arsenal at Villa Park 1988)

Olympiacos

Juve home

Chelsea home CL semi (described by some arl arses as the best night ever)

Man Utd away (You were sold to the USA)

Man Utd FA cup home

Other notables:

Out singing, out flagging and out bannering Mancs in Cardiff 2003

So many great banners-wine for my men, Grafton, my eyes have seen the glory etc

The Rafatollah (funniest best thing I have ever seen)

Mosaics for Houllier, Juve etc

Owen being told he should have signed for a big team

The Homecoming

Back from the dead - Cardiff 2001, Istanbul etc etc

not to mention 1 EC, 1 UEFA, 1 FA Cup, 2 League Cup, 2 Euro Super

Has it ever been as good as this ?

Just realized how dull the 1990s and most of the 1980s was?maybe the inspiration is successful European cup campaigns.

Remember how lethargic the 1990 title celebrations were ?

And this the era of jester hats and soccer am...
