Writing this on the penultimate day of the season, a year that has been nothing but stupendous by all means. I am not aiming this to be a season review because the season is not yet over (at-least for some). My sole aim is to project the positivity that has been with us for quite some time now. So I shall begin, but then again which point can be deemed as the starting point, that is a question troubling me for quite some time. Some say it was the Derby game at home the others believe it was the game against Arsenal but I would love to say it was the game at the turn of the year. The game against Hull a month back was a disaster to say the least and this one was also coming at a point where we were flat as a punctured tire. We were not in a good position at the end of 2013 as we were just below the top quartet which was our main aim at the beginning of this roller coaster ride.

All this felt like I was a ship travelling through high waters; up and down, left and right swerving about wildly never knowing whether it’s going forward or just standing there.

This plethora of words is stemming from a single event and probably a single emotion too. All this inside of me or for that matter every fan/supporter (read whichever word you like) is a direct consequence of the ill fated m...
Life can be hard and uncompromising or even downright painful. But sometimes it gives you happiness mixed with anxiety just like eating a chocolate with a sour coating, it tastes sour at the onset all the while making you want to spit it out but you hang on because you know the sweet part is coming. And when it does, nothing can be as tastier. Thinking of chocolates reminds me of why I am writing this, our beloved Liverpool FC. These last few years (especially under the one whose face resembles an owl, isn't it?) have been downright sour but we knew the sweet part would come. All these years we had that feeling of disbelief and even disgust at times. Nobody knew when this would go away but we all knew it was somewhere there lurking behind the dark clouds. Now the days of owls and whiskey are over, the days of Chihuahuas and laughter are here. The sweet in the chocolate has finally broken past the layers and layers of sourness; we have finally managed to wade...
