The Kop

One of THE great sounds in Football – Liverpool’s Kop in full voice singing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’.



Last night Liverpool played Real Madrid. Liverpool carried forward a 1 - 0 lead from the away leg and added another 4 goals on the night making it a resounding 5 – 0 defeat on aggregate.


This was the fourth goal being scored by Dossena.


The other goals were by Torres and, of course, Steven Gerrard (2). The score hides the fact that the Real goalkeeper, Casillas, made any number of magnificent saves and was undoubtedly their man of the match.

So we are into the quarter-finals of the European Champions League (yet again).


The singing at the end of the match was even louder!

Liverpool's 12th Man

 

I apologise to all on the Kop on Tuesday night - I meant to point out in my blog posting that Liverpool always play with twelve 'men' on European nights at Anfield. There is no doubt that the twelfth man is worth an extra goal to Liverpool. Opposition players must dread coming out of the tunnel under the notice "This is Anfield".
