Tryst With Footballing Destiny

[mcgillianaire]

I have just procured tickets to watch Liverpool FC take on Fulham at Anfield on Saturday 22 November. It will be my first trip to Merseyside in 13 years (I think) and my first time to the home of one of the world's greatest football clubs. Unfortunately, I will be sitting with the Away Fans but it was a choice of that or nothing. I won't be able to wear my Red colours but I don't care. I simply can't wait till I hear the Kop faithful belting out You'll Never Walk Alone as the players step onto the pitch. Hopefully Torres and Gerrard will both be fit and playing. There's a total of five of us goin up so it should be an awesome day out. Much drinking and revelry and perhaps even a Liverpool victory.

Meanwhile, I've also bought tickets to watch Liverpool take-on Tottenham Hotspurs at White Hart Lane in the Carling Cup on Wednesday 12 November. The tickets were fairly reasonably priced and it'll be my first visit to the stadium. The top stars will not be playing but it should still be a cracking match. Spurs have a new manager and we're top of the league table. But in bloody typical fashion, you go twenty-four years having watched Liverpool live in action only once, and then in the space of ten days two matches come running along. w00t!

now you see that may be a different thing. At the Ajax match many people wore both an Ajax and villa scarf. I think scarves are a different thing, although being ultra cautious I wouldn't risk it for a premiership match.
