Back to normal from now...................... 
For all against a Standing Kop, tonight was a reminder of times passed.
Stevie G ........ if you want to swap that for a vacuous chelsea crowd, it says more about you than us.
YNWA at the start of the 2nd half was a breathtaking, unwarranted, unconditional show of support that ONLY happens at Anfield. 
Even the Greeks were impressed, from the first, through the mosaic to the last bit of 'your not singing any more' --- followed in true Kop style by a great ovation for the Greek fans.
i'm sorry, but we are LFC and at the end of the day it goes fucking dark.
if and it is a big IF OMHO Gerrard goes, i for one won't bear any grudges, i can honestly understand his need for winning things and like he said he is 25 soon (or is it 26??) he could have gone last season but he's held out to see how things will pan out, anyone who's a Liverpool fan has to give him the benefit of the doubt, it's not like he was like Michael Owen and has done an interview 2 weeks before and said "honestly, we are closer than we've ever been to signing" and a week later he became a Real Madrid player, i just wish Owen would have had the honestly Gerrard has in the weeks leading up to his departure if Gerrard is going to depart, at least he has been honest from the onset if he decides to go elsewhere i for one will support him and understand his reasons, i don't want this to be seen as a "Gerrard is going" thread but if it's to be "Que sera sera", we've been in this position before and come out smiling, Yes it will be sad if one of our sons see's fit to leave the place he started but others have done it and we've coped, no-one is indespensable, don't get me wrong, replacing Stevie G will be a task and a half and probably then some but if that that's the case, i'm sure Rafa will do his upmost to try to put plasters on the open wounds we will all be feeling, i have faith in Rafa Benitez much more than i had in Gerard Houllier as much as i loved him and put my faith and trust in him , i feel Gerard Houllier took us as far as he could physically(sp) and mentally, he was a great manager but he did the best he could and was not quite enough. In my eyes he will always be one of Liverpool's great managers, we all knew it was time to move on and when we did we couldn't have wished for a greater manager than Benitez, he has already brought the club on in leaps and bounds so far this season, mostly with the home record which was unfortunately broken the other week, but a better record than last season, i know i have blabbed on for ages about Gerrard and Houllier and just LFC in general but i just felt this was my chance to put my opinion out there for you all to either agree or disagree with.
I really hope Stevie doesn't leave but at least if he does we can rest in the fact that he has been honest with us all from the start.
I love Michael Owen but i wish he would have just come out and said that he wanted to leave instead of misleading the fans and letting mother's (like myself) go out and buy their son's LFC shirts with his name and number on the back.
The Kop is an awesome place to be in any match but in a game like tonight's i would have given my left arm to be in there tonight with my boy.
i couldn't get any tickets as hard as i tried but we watched sky sports 2 and we had a blast, beer got knocked over and my lamps went west but i didn't give a flying fuck coz we won!
sorry to all who think i've made no sense whatsoever in my reply to this thread. feel free to give me as much shit as you like coz i've probably waffled on for far too long and gone on about things that aren't even included in this thread but hey, i love LFC and had to get it all off my chest, don't expect me to bite back if you give me shit coz i won't, i have my opinion and you have your's, fair do's.
that's it, rant over
