Hi lads. Sorry I've been away for a while. You may remember I had seats in the Kop for the Besiktas game.
Anyway the reason I've been away for so long has been due to some personal life problems. Turns out, my girlfriend didn't approve of me going to watch Liverpool and told me to choose between her, and going to the game. I naturally had to choose the love of my life.
It was bloody brilliant watching Balotelli slot home that penalty right in front of me ;)
What an experience. Only just getting my voice back today from all the chanting and singing (well, and the blazing argument with the ex), but I'd definitely do it all again! (The game that is)
Can I just say to all the people from Liverpool, I stayed after the game until Friday afternoon which meant for the first time, I got to leave the Anfield area and get a look at the City (after getting heavily drunk at the Sandon and waking up in a hostel on the next morning).
The Docks and the Cavern club were my personal favourites. Just the entire City in general though. It was incredibly historic. Just a quick question for the locals, what is that bloody awesome looking black cube building by the docks?! It looks like something out of a sci-fi!
A great experience though that hopefully when I'm older and richer can become a more frequent thing. No woman is going to tell me how to live my life :)
{Ed002's Note - I am glad you enjoyed - the Cavern is not the original of course.}

it's a block of flats (apartments in the brochure no doubt)called Mann island. Glad you enjoyed your stay. I think we should all meet up for a pint one day and take a LFC game in, if anyone from this site is ever in Liverpool again that is, would be fun.

Thats women for you. Probably that time of the month! My lifes hell when that's coming up.
Anyhow Adam your only 21 so should be having fun at your age. Chin up mate.

Just remember the argument when it comes to her interests. And if she doesn't have her own interests then beware, cause what she resents isn't your interest in football at all!

Ed002, did you have to burst Adams bubble, some things are better left unsaid.
Adam, its a new block of offices and apartments, a lot of people complained about the ultra modern style being built so near to the more "traditional" Three Graces (as well as other buildings) close by which are three of the most famous buildings in Liverpool, they were built early 1900's.
Glad you enjoyed the game, how cool was Balotelli by the way?

Cheers Ed002
That's pretty cool Dan. Also, I'd be well up for meeting up for a pint if i'm ever in town again.
MarcO and hjikle your replies did make me laugh haha. Agony Aunt stuff ;)

Cheers 18and5. Balotelli was Magnifico ;)

Adam, if your ever back in Liverpool give me shout on this site and we will certainly meet up and hopefully a few more on here would be up for it too. A nice Stella breakfast and a win for the reds, can't ask for more than that. Hope it happens.

Am I right in saying you hadn't been with said woman for too long EMS? I just can't fathom why someone would have a fit and throw about ultimatums for such a thing as going to see Liverpool play in Europe! I mean, I would catch hell for it, but then again I have 2 young kids, no money and live in Scotland, so I could understand the missus's grievances, but by the sounds of things you're better off out of it mate!
Glad you had an awesome trip, now get out there and get you some strange!
23 Feb 2015 14:08:11
Don't worry EMS soon you'll get to the stage where she practically pushes you out of the door to the game just to get some peace! . Or that could just be mine haha
