    I was there I can still see the winner trickling over the line in front of me.

    My first ever visit to Wembley. What an absolute ****ing ****hole.....

    Mine was just before my 9th birthday when we lost to the Hammers. Yet of the two of us, you're the reverse jinxing oh he of little faith.

    That must have been a real buzz at the final whistle.

    Btw, can you remember if you were down-heartened when Rush scored for them? The 2025/6 Peter model would have got his phone out* and still been posting "But Liverpool never lose when Rush scores" even after our second, even in injury time, probably even after the final whistle.

    Ah, the innocence of youth, eh?

    *Well, you'd have cut your scarf in two and used semaphore back then but you take my point.

    Honestly...? I was convinced we were going to win. And i had a dream about it the night before. I never remember my dreams. I knew of the whole Ian Rush thing but when you are 15 you dont give a **** about that. I felt we had them

    Anfield 89. Again, 100% convinced. Just this feeling. I was telling everyone we'd do it and was called crazy.

    Every year we have won the league in my lifetime I have said at the start of the season that we could win it. And the only years where I said that and was wrong were 1999 and 2003.

    I know when we are good enough. It just hasn't come up that often in the last couple of decades

    Two years ago we were good enough (aftr a slow start) but City were ever so slightly better.

    This season.... well, in any other year we wouldn't win it. But this year, we really, really should.

    And yes, i was off my head. The terrace was going crazy, grown men crying. You always remember your first trophy.

    I was there the following year for that ****ing awful day against Luton. Poor old Gus
