looks of anguish all around as six minutes of stoppage-time were announced but we had been wasting time a fair bit and it doesn't usually go unnoticed. That six minutes went on for nearer ten what with injuries, though it felt like a hundred till the whistle finally went. There'd been a lot of chanting of, “U.S.A!” from our end and it continued a bit as we shuffled our way downstairs.
My mate was in high dudgeon as he kindly drove me back to Lime Street and I don't blame him but I was floating. The team fulfilled my pre-match confidence and though Liverpool are clearly not the force they were, we are showing, apart from Tuesday's shithouse performance (a 1-2 defeat against West Ham), that we can play well against the very best. It's playing against the very worst that worries me. Anyway, deep joy and see you at the Man United match.
