We'll expose ourselves as a fan of Liverpool. We jumped for joy when Craig Bellamy hit the decisive goal at 74 minutes to oust Manchester City in the Carling Cup. We get it, it's only the Carling Cup. But, it's a cup and it means Liverpool are at Wembley. Sixteen years since Wembley. It has been a long and painful sixteen years.
Manchester United has since become the dominant force in English football in the sixteen year absence. Sir Alex Ferguson has completely redrawn the map of English football. We have hurt with every Liverpool loss and burned with every Manchester United victory. But now, we have a chance at a simple redemption. Victory at Wembley will not make it all better, but it will help to soothe our rage.
We'll admit it. Craig Bellamy is on our Fifa Squad for Wycombe Wanderers. (We like to start in League 2 and work our way up). However, our best goal scorer is Raul Meireles. We were saddened by his departure. But, our favorite is the Dutchmen Dirk Kuyt. His work ethic is unquestionably the greatest we have on the squad and if or rather when King Kenny sells him we will mourn as if we lost a close relative. We shan't forget though. But, for now, we shall bask in the victory over the endless and bottomless wallet that is Manchester City and pray for a victory at Wembley.
