Just noticed this topic had been made! Was up for the game on Saturday as a 21st birthday treat for my daughter, had been trying to get tickets for a league game but had to settle for this - and what a treat, loved it!! Six of us travelled up, three of whom hadn't been to Anfield before so I arranged to do the matchday stadium tour as well.
Three family members and a friend got up at half three in the morning and left home at five to get to us - left ours at six to get to Anfield nice and early for the tour.
Game was good fun to watch, brilliant to see some of the players still ooze quality - Dagger, Johnno, Garcia, Dirk, McManaman, Stevie "Shoooooooooooooooooooot" Gerrard, Hyppia, Paddy, Paddy's mate, Cisse (bless him and his busted legs for turning up here and putting in a great effort), Carragher (who provided a couple of funny moments), special mention for Mr Kennedy for getting up and down the wing at least 3 times and Mr Versatile Bjorn Tore Kvarme (wtf did I just say!!!).
For Milan, Pirlo, Cafu, Gattuso, Kaka, Rui Costa stood out. Loved the Milan goals, sweet as, the pair of them.
Was bubbling inside at the attendance and thinking how we can fill the ground for a charity match when the playboy plastics are playing in front of empty seats against Premier and Champions League opponents - they aren't in the same stratosphere as us when it comes to how "big" a club we are.
Got home at midnight, tired but happy after a fun day - other side of the family got home at twenty past one!!
Still need to get two tickets for any home game this season to finish my daughters birthday treat so if anyone can help out it'll be very much appreciated!
