[The Fletcher Memorial]

So, I was given an idea for a banner for Rodgers by The Fletcher Memorial who wanted me to come up with something similar to the Obama "Yes we can" posters, with the words changed to our own from 'Poetry In Motion'. I don't like to directly copy things, so I went with the idea and put a bit more to it in the style of graffiti street art. I can change the font, layout, format, add an idea or two more, whatever the general consensus.

Wow! Nice one Mac, I wasn’t expecting that! I love it!

Though I fucking hate critiquing peoples work when they’ve gone to all the effort especially as I only had a very vague idea in the first place, so I can’t be getting all frilly-knickered about it now.

But, if I had the ability to change it, it would only be in the following:

Portrait
Red and white only
Lose the Liver Buildings
Lob a white (or yellow) liverbird in a suitable place somewhere, like a stamp quality to it (i.e. stamped on, not a postage stamp)

In the mean time, I have this as my new desk top in work.

Don't want to sound preachy or like some old fart, but it'd be nice if everyone just turned up and applauded and sang and cheered instead of filming it all. Looked like a sea of cameras last time. It's great to see the video clips and all that, but there's probably enough of them now. We know what it looks like. Time to put your phone or camera away (it's hard to applaud and film) and just show them how much their efforts have been appreciated.

Gutted i missed out on a ticket, so won't get the chance in the ground, but I'll be there outside to let them know how much I've enjoyed the ride. It's the least they deserve.

You do sound like an arl fart, but I just so happen to agree with you!

Too right!

Dropped my middle one (aged 12) to the school bus this morning, and on the way I said to him "what do you reckon for City tonight then" ?  He turns straight back to me and says "they'll probably win, and win again on Sunday, seriously dad our chance has gone I reckon"

Cue me beginning the 'believe' speech trying to talk him round.

He stopped me dead and says

"I do believe dad, i've always believed.  I've just spent the last 2 months HONESTLY believing that we're going to be Champions.  Beginning of every season you tell me we're going to have a good season, and I believe you because like you always tell me, we used to win things all the time, you've seen the reds do it and you know what it feels like.  Grandad does the same, he always tells me that we're one of the greatest clubs in the world, and we're good enough to win things.  The difference is this time, I've seen why now.  Up to now i've seen us win the Carling Cup and beat Everton at Wembley but we haven't really won much else and I can't remember beating West Ham in the FA Cup.  But, honestly dad, REALLY believing that we're going to be Champions for the last couple of months has been boss, i'd love us to nick it on Sunday, but if we don't we'll do it next year, I HONESTLY believe that now.  We are getting there early for the bus again on Sunday aren't we,we ought to you know ?"

Wow such matured thoughts at such a small age... Better than some of them here seeing the negative sides of us in the last 2 games...

More like this ...

Haha.. whatever it takes!

[Jonny5]

well done everyone its been a great effort whatever happens.

whatever the outcome sunday we should celebrate whats been a fantastic season.

[Feorax]

People forget the reason we wanted 4th as our target in the first place.

To get better players in, so we could build to winning the league. No matter what happens now, we're probably about 3 years ahead of schedule. It will happen.

Thats brilliant mate, you taught him well, you must be very proud.

Yes mate, they sent a message out about 40 mins ago saying that they'll send the details tomorrow.

[Alan_X]

They just don't get it, because they aren't like us. They're just observers, we make ourselves part of it for better or worse. Fuck 'em. They'd love to be us. Our players and staff need to be left in no doubt that, despite whatever mistakes they may have made in the last couple of games, we stand with them. We believe in them. There's a few in there who won't realise what being part of this club really means, not their fault, they're young or foreign or whatever. There's a reason that the likes of Sami, Luis Garcia, Didi, Xabi and Big Jan can't let go of this club and that reason is us. They will realise on Sunday that they are part of our family and they'll never find a better one.

Spot on.

Bigger, louder more raucous than all the previous ones please. Sadly working, would loved to have made the trip.

[IrishSu]

I never comment on the football threads but just wanted to pop in to say mr. Irishsu, our young lad and myself are flying over tomorrow night. We don't have tickets for the game but looking forward to soaking up the atmosphere. Will definitely be there to greet the team. Come on you mighty reds!

[Hij]

I'm there.  What time?  From about 1pm?

I only arrive in Liverpool at 1pm.

Shame I can't make it, but just want to say well in to everyone who turns up to this. Show our players we're proud of them whatever happens.

"You're dead right we are son"

I did the same with my little one at the school gates.

Wiping the tears from my eyes, I got down on my knees, held his hand, told him I have something very important to tell him and gave him an impassioned "believe speech". He remained silent throughout: observing, processing.. dare I say it believing?

When I finished I rose and he told me to fuck off, everybody was watching us and I was embarrassing him.

You've brought him up well, what a post.

Brendan should get him in the dressing room first game of the season in August & let him tell the players that.

[Mattiavelli]

Just got home from Vietnam after living there for the past few months; booked my ticket back hoping this would be our year.. alas! Having to watch the previous welcomes on youtube and the like has killed me and although I've no ticket for the match I'll definitely be there supporting the boys after one of the best seasons in my living memory. Come on libpool!

[rhylred]

Lucky enough to have been to every game home/away will be there Sunday,christ if ever a team deserve it,its these lads....

"You're dead right we are son"

That's brilliant AJL.

My little boy is only 6 and it's his 1st year watching us properly. He's listened to me banging on all season and really gotten into it. These last couple of weeks though he's been really quiet and down as it's slowly slipped away. I feel worse for him than I do for myself. I've told him the same things you've told your boy and he's been so excited this year that I'm gutted for him. I still have hope but daren't say anything to him as he'll face the disappointment all over again if it doesn't go our way on Sunday.

Instead I've started discussing with him how great the season has been, how proud we are of the manager, the staff and the players, how Sunday is going to be really special regardless etc, etc

We had our picture shown last week on 'LFC World' on LFCTV when they show the fan pics before the end credits and it's the only time I've seen him smile the last couple of weeks. In my head it's gone but I'm hoping that on Sunday that smile will return!

[TepidT2O]

Will be great to see this.

Let the players know we still believe!

Spion Kop 1906 ‏@SpionKop1906  20 hrs
We're planning to meet the coach on Sunday. Details will be tweeted tomorrow.
Up the Reds.

[lostandfound]

I was the gobshite who was telling people that the coach idea was a mistake the Friday before Chelsea because of the pressure it put on the shoulders of the players, but I do intend to be there on Sunday, to give up on the players now would be fucking crazy. We WILL finish 2nd    but I'm dead proud of the lads this season.

Hope all the flags on the Kop and the support in general improve as they have this season as we look forward to the next Campaign.

COME ON THE FUCKING REDMEN

I don't think you were a gobshite.......i think all the mounting pressure did eventually have an effect. Everyone was trying to keep the excitement under control but it got too much...... Was amazing to see and hear.... But we lost track of the each game as it comes and started looking at the big prize.
Something both the team and us as supporters can learn from next season.
