    It's not the winning, it's the taking part.... or some such tosh.

    David............but doesn't someone always have to lose ?  Otherwise you couldn't have a winning team ?

    Doesn't losing make you a better person.......learning humility, makes you try harder, blah, blah ?

    Just trying to cheer you up image

    Fanks, all cheered-up now! image Yes, someone always has to lose, shudda been Chrystal Palace last night and Chelsea the game before.

    Being umbled ain't helping either. image

    Liverpool supporters make natural gardeners.  But look at it this way, if someone said last summer, you can come second, go into Europe, get the whole nation talking about you again, make Man Utd look rubbish, have a feeling that you're on the up.  Come on David, we would all have gone for that.  So even though my tomatoes are stringy, and the peas are a nightmare, pretty much everything else is lovely in the garden, the weather is pretty good.  Nobody slags off a team who score goals, but leak at the back, but they can't bear teams who defend for 90 minutes.  Liverpool are exciting, and a metaphor for the ups and downs of life,  and that's how we love them.  We have to go forward into next season with a sense of optimism we haven't had for yonks.  So just harvest what you can for now image

    Palace did Blades at old Wembley in play offs 92nd minute, first & last time I was there. We got home and next morning I needed a saucer of milk to coax OH out from under the bed. image 

    Saucer of milk David ?? image

    Sending you hugs David image

    I thought the same as Kef, so glad your not poorly, another hug image

  • Well yes, you have a point, BB......specially about Man U, just a pity it's at a time when everyone is beating them.

    OH is Arsenal so good day for me gardening last Sunday as both my boys went to the game. I do have a groan when footie seems to be on ALL THE TIME!!!

    David, look at it this way....  We nearly won, and then we didn't.  Normally, every Man U fan in the country would be ripping the whatever out of us.  But it's like someone stuck an enormous cork in their mouths.  They can't say stuff all.  For once, they are silenced - more silenced than a field of nettles after a glyphosate bath, quieter than slugs in a pub, less effective than greenfly in a plague of ladybirds.  Face it, nobody was delighted watching Man City play this season, but Liverpool had all sorts of people fired up with the romance.  No team does romance and heartache like Liverpool.  We have all the makings of a team to love.  Barcelona had that a few years back - we went to the Nou Camp when they were kings, and it was magic.  Liverpool will come back and prove it's all about heart and not a bank balance, once again.

    I think I'll get me remedial knitting out from under the settee.
