The average age is 24, but exclude VVD and Endo and it’s 19 — three 19 years olds, an 18-year-old, and Harvey who is 20 but I swore was like 23 because he’s been around forever. Unbelievable stuff.
This team is better than any drug. The high, the emotion is unmatched. And the pride. There are no words that make justice of what nights like this one means for millions around the world.
Huge thanks go to the captain, Virgil van Dijk, whose performance will go down in the annals of LFC’s history, and his teammates who never stopped fighting no matter how young, tired and wronged they were by that cunt of a referee.
But first and foremost, an enormous debt of gratitude is owed to Jurgen Klopp, the man who changed our history 9 years ago and brought us back to where we belong. If only his time wasn’t coming to an end.
As for the 1bn plastics with their little blue flags, who have violated any sporting and footballing sense of fair play, they got exactly what they deserved. Pain and anguish watching their collection of mercenaries fail against a real football team who showed them once again that money on its own is never enough. I have two things to say to them: “Imagine being us” and “fuck off”
Well I listened to this in the car whilst stuck on the Autobahn this afternoon. I asked my wife who’s idea that stupid road was. Hitler, apparently. I always knew he was a bad man…
That was astonishing. I can’t believe how front footed we were in extra-time. I was prepared mentally to lose and still be delighted with the exposure the young lads had from the game. To go and win it, that was incredible.
U23’s vs Southampton please. Stick Diaz in a cryogenic chamber for the rest of the week.
