It's international week, so I'm bored - hence this thread. Come up with some dream Liverpool-related moments. I'll start us off: Dream End to a Season It's the '09/'10 season finale and The Mancs, having won the league the previous season and crowed about it all year long are on 18 titles with Liverpool. Unbelievably, the last match of the league campaign is between the top two at OT, with Liverpool trailing The Mancs' by three points and a goal difference of nine. Fergie is so confident that he has announced his retirement and they've appointed a new manager, Brian Kidd (well this is a dream thread), ready for the next season. The match goes almost perfectly for Liverpool, who demolish a full strength opposition. However, with three and half of the four minutes of injury time gone, it's still only four nil and The Mancs are chanting, "Champions" and "The Perch is Ours" all round OT. We can't get out of our own half and the ball is in Pepe's hands with the ref looking at his watch. Seeing Van der Saar on the edge of his area bouncing up and down in anticipation of number nineteen, Pepe launches the ball down field. The whole ground goes silent - even the travelling Reds who've been singing YNWA for the last five minutes - as the ball bounces in front of the keeper and loops over his head. It starts to drop goal-wards but agonisingly clips the bar, landing the wrong side of the goal line. However, the back-pedalling VdS who is reaching for the ball, stumbles at the last second and knocks it into the net. The ground - and nation - goes wild!!! The papers next day are full of side-by-side images of Fergie and Rafa as the trophy is presented at Old Trafford - one an apparently broken man, the other with a wry smile of vindication on his face. However, the Scots legend has one last chance for a glorious finale in the Champions' League final the following Saturday - against Liverpool. Incredibly, after a catalogue of UEFA errors and cock-ups, the venue is Anfield and somehow the ticketing allocation means that three sides of the ground are draped in Liverpool Red. Following on from the crushing title defeat on goal-difference, The Mancs are humiliated from the word go - three goals down inside the first ten minutes to a Torres hat trick with Rooney sent off for blasting the ball at his own manager in anger, Ronaldo substituted after the hardest fair tackle in the history of the game by Jamie Carragher leaves him concussed from hitting his head on the deck and Rio Ferdinand humiliated by Torres megging him three times in succession before his third. The match ends ten-nil, with Carra getting six of them, and an enormous banner is shown on The Kop that has a huge image of Big Bird from Sesame Street wearing a Liverpool shirt next to a speech bubble that reads, "Demento's retirement has been brought to you by the numbers 19 and 7". The following day, Ferguson is admitted to a geriatric ward in Manchester with saliva dribbling down his chin as two million Reds turn out to welcome home the Liverpool team. So that's my little dream for this morning. Let's have some more. How about dream goals, tackles, saves, etc?
