Double post.

[Scooby Dudek]

Confident but not cocky, that was exactly how I felt. 

I was also confident we would score from a set piece but obviously didn't want to jinx it by mentioning it during the game. 

Weirdly, after the second went in I felt more nervous, which probably says more about me. 

 

Great report and really looking forward to the fanzine. The diary section alone will be bigger than War and Peace.

[SammyAftershave]

A full season of excellent reports Dave. Well done, it's been enjoyable and informative reading each and every one.

Dave, how about a tlw celebration party where you bring truckloads of the new fanzine along and sign copies and photos of yourself for your adoring fans (fiver a pop for the latter).

 

Every forumite there would buy one. You end up with that beach house in the Bahamas and everyone else gets to celebrate this special moment in the way they really want to: getting all the petty, anal and venomous pieces of oneupmanship we’ve been nursing for years out face to face.

 

(It’d stop half the arguments on here and improve the sense of community no end if people met in person and realised they’ve been arguing with someone totally different to the version they’re imagining.)

 

You know it makes sense.

Great idea.

 

Can I get a lift this time?

Same here. Thinking about it I'm glad we didn't go 2-0 up earlier because that just means the other team have nothing to lose and can throw the kitchen sink at the opposition. Only being 1-0 down means they still had to keep it tight at the back. And then a late goal - well, the perfect result, really.

Great idea, you cunt.

When we won the Pen the Ref took a fucking age before he let us take it. He seemed to be talking to every individual player before he blew his whistle. Because it took so long and Milner was on the bench I wasn't confident he'd score. I thought Loris probably should have saved it looking at the replays but I think he's a very overrated goalkeeper so maybe not.

No.

Great report to end a great season.  The report hit all the right notes about all the right people (even if Big Game James drew a blank).  I'm made up for Hendo & Klopp especially.  The defense was excellent and just carried on from the Barca second leg.

Looking forward to the fanzine.

Man, how beautiful is this family?

Well that scuttles one of our stories from Madrid. This big, shaggy long-haired dude came walking towards our group in the fanzone on Saturday morning carrying a supermarket bag with dozens of tinnies and my lad shouts out - hey, thats Dave Usher! Now Ive seen this guy loads of times over the years standing outside the Kop selling fanzines and as he reached us he never denied the Dave Usher thing and he stayed with us for half an hour talking about how him and his mates made the journey and where to watch the game as (like us) they had one lad with a ticket and the rest lost out in the ballot. We took the 24 hour ferry back after the game and only arrived home in the early hours so I opened Daves report intending to post about how cool it was to meet him - except it wasn't cool it was fucking baking in the Felipe II Plaza - only to find the real DU watched the game in Liverpool! So who is that fella who sells the fanzines and looks like a hippie from some rock band?

Dave's dad.

Great report Dave. Love the referral back to Kiev, where it all began.

[Section_31]

Great read that, absolutely perfect.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Those queue jumpers were pricks. I thought they were going to end in the Mersey. I've never seen Paul get so angry! 

[Pureblood]

I love that Paul gave those upstarts a politically slanted dressing-down.

It has been discussed, as it's the 20 year anniversary this summer.

Could be Andy Knott from RAOTL.

Found my courage in the bottom of one of those many Welsh bevvies Jules put us all on to.
