End of an era

Its been what 4 months since I last blogged. Feels good to be typing again. The last few months have just rolled on in fast forward. Crazy shits happened.

And crazy shits happened to Liverpool as well. Ever since the departure of a certain Xabi Alonso they've been sinking. Out of the champions league and fighting for a top 4 spot its been a bad season. Period.

By the looks of it they're gonna have to fight hard to qualify for next years champions league. If they dont, then it brings to the end an era.
Neutrals will always miss liverpool from the Champions league and for a reason too.
European club football history does not have a place for the likes of Arsenal or Chelsea because they have never been champions of Europe. And it will always remember John Terry walking through the Moscow rain and slipping to literally handing the trophy to United.

But European football history will always remember Bruce Grobelaar's dilly dallying to make 3 saves in a row to give Liverpool thier third European trophy in 5 years. It will remember the magical night of Istanbul May 2005 when Steven Gerrard led the Reds to a remarkable comeback.

Whether they are in it or not, Liverpool are right up there with Real Madrid and AC Milan as of the legendary teams of Europe and this spirit is felt to this day at the Kop end at Anfield.

Sceptics may say that its over for Liverpool but in doing so are they overlooking the fact that the Reds have set the bar so high, its gonna take a while before the other teams catch up.

They might say we live in history but thats what is remembered over the years and not when a team gets eliminated.

Or maybe after 2 wins in a row, are the comeback kings at it again??
