" So Near And Yet So Far "

History will show that yesterday Liverpool won the Carling Cup but in my opinion that bare statistic fails to tell the full story of what was a remarkable game of football.

At the start of the game Liverpool were 1/10 favourites to win and who would be surprised given their starting 11 cost a remarkable £133m to put together, in contrast our team cost a little over £3.5m. Forget missed opportunities and forget thecrap shoot of the penalty kicks can anyone who watched that game honestly say that Liverpool looked a football TEAM £130m better than the Bluebirds.

MM said after the game that he had asked the players to lose with dignity and we did just that,but with dignity should come an enourmous sense of pride, pride for our remarkable manager, pride for our team and their absolutely refusal to give up and pride for our fantastic fans.

In contrast to the dignity shown by MM Kenny Dalglish could been seen running around with his arms in the air when Anthony Gerrard missed, he was celebrating as if Liverpool had just beaten Barcelona in the Champions League Final. Of course they hadn't his team had just beaten a Championship team by the very narrowest of margins but still there was little that could be described as dignified about his behaviour. In contrast Bellamy, who was winning his first major honour outside the Scottish League, was the personification of dignity.

We ALL now need to move on and we on with pride, determination and total commitment for the last 14 League games starting with West Ham on Sunday.

I still beleve we will make the playoffs and when we get there yesterday proved one thing to me and that is we have a manager who can prepare a team for the big occasion and we have a team who can perform on the big occasions.

As for the fans we will ALL be there daring to believe that this will be the year. So Near So Far yesterday now on to the 14 Cup Finals that will take us to our ultimate target.

The Premier League.

I also hope people can stop looking for a scapegoat for losing yesterday too!!

Gerrard this!, Gestede that!, Miller blah ! blah! blah!

Everyone gave their all and that is all we can ask for as a supporter !

Let's now treat the remaining 14 games as we did yesterday and get to the Premier

Well put,the boys played with pride and passion,they gave everything,it just wasn't. to be. You will get arseholes on here blaming him,blaming him but only a minority of mindless idiots who don't know a thing about football,I suppose every club has them. As you say,"now for the last 14 cup finals". I'm sure the players will bounce back and get us up there with the big boys in the premier league.

Again

I also hope people can stop looking for a scapegoat for losing yesterday too!!

Gerrard this!, Gestede that!, Miller blah ! blah! blah!

Everyone gave their all and that is all we can ask for as a supporter !

Let's now treat the remaining 14 games as we did yesterday and get to the Premier

THIS!! All of them are heroes, gave everything and more and that is all we can ask for!

I completly agree with your views on king kenny firet miserable gits smiled in 10 years. As for bellamy well i think his actions at end will speak volumes for him respect to his former to mates by not running off with the other premier league giant killers.
This is first time I've been on this site and can't believe some people being negative regarding some of our players and manager. They were class yesterday

In all fairness King kenny did speak about us in glowing terms.You cannot begrudge him celebrating as Liverpool have not won silverware for so long.
