Just look at the homecoming video.  Absolutely incredible. I know I shouldn't mention those plastic shower of shite that just won it, but the difference in their homecoming and ours is embarrassing to even compare.

Cried at half time. Cried at the end for completely different reasons. Rang my Dad and we both sobbed at each other down the phone. No words needed.

Without doubt the best night of my life.

Fantastic day and night.

I ended up in a complete mess cuddling my Liverpool cushion in my chair.  LOL!

Enjoyed the Pumphouse do on the following Sunday, only to get clamped. 

Memorable for sure.

I guess we will do that when we get a new manager/s and if he wins number 6 or number 19.

I was living on an island in the summer of 2005. I watched this game at Cafe Soito, Praia do Norte, Faial, Azores. It is a small village of white houses with orange roofs, and packed with Benfica fans. Benfica won the Portuguese league championship that year and the day they won it Cafe Soito was jam packed with people partying and celebrating. On May 25th the bar was empty except for me and a few friends. My two Manc supporting friends stayed home to watch the first half, and naturally showed up at half time to rub it in. "Liverpool are an embarassment", and "what a shame they made it this far; too bad Milan aren't playing a GOOD team" they said.

Thankfully, they stayed in the bar for the second half, the one half of football that I will never forget for the rest of my life. When it came to penalties I had to tell them to shut the fuck up as they were complaining about how terrible penalties were as a way to decide a championship. They could clearly see the writing on the wall and were trying to ruin my moment, and of course it didn't work. When Dudek batted away Shevchenko's penalty I tore out of the bar and ran through the streets screaming. It was raining, and I was crying, and I don't know if I've ever been happier.

Rafa sitting down for the pens, Gerrard's heroic header, Carra battling cramp, Smicer with the perfect sendoff, Xabi following up the penalty, the likes of Djimi Traore playing completely out of their depth...I will love that squad forever for giving me one of the best days of my life.

What a great night that was, remember at half time was so pissed off I ripped all the posters down from the front room window.

Then at full time like some glory hunter stuck them all back up again.

Haha you soft begger, i was just emphatic we'd made it that far to be honest. Then the miracle unfolded.....

7 Years on... Still can't believe I missed all three goals  :butt ... I was only 11 and at 2-0 I ran upstairs crying, my mum shouted up saying it's 3-0 and I lost it completely, went in the garden and was just kicking the ball about for what seemed like five minutes, came back in and it was 3-3, had to actually go into the other room and put another tele on to check that I was seeing right. Such a great great night and I'm absolutely devastated that my Dad never took me but hopefully we can have another night like it soon.

One things for certain, it taught me to never stop believing.

Just look at the homecoming video.  Absolutely incredible. I know I shouldn't mention those plastic shower of shite that just won it, but the difference in their homecoming and ours is embarrassing to even compare.

If Rafa does end up in front of ol' Hank in the next few days, he should just sit silently & play that homecoming vid.
I think this was 2001, in the Texas state legislature, they were trying to outlaw sodomy, while at the SAME time, trying to repeal the law against bestiality.

I like how he doesn't really celebrate the first goal then gets more mental with each goal.

Wasn't that how we all were? After the first goal, I didn't think for one second we could go on and win it, I was just glad we got on the scoresheet and made things look a bit more respectable.

Mind you, when the second goal went in....

Oh what a night! 

I remember my mum at half time telling me to go bed as it was a school night and it was all over etc.. I told her that we would come back (although in my heart, I feared it was over).

Thanks Rafa and other players associated with triumph :D
