Golden Past, Red Future

Over the years, being a Liverpool fan as being frustrating and at times, thoughts of "why do i bother?" fill your head. I wasn't born when the golden era was around, but I've seen enough videos and been told enough to know how spectacular we was. Having to hear this on a regular basis can get annoying because the same people who say this is the same people who at the moment are slating this club. Yes, we haven't won the league and yes it's being hard, but we have to stick together. I'll admit, I do get frustrated, especially as I've sat and watched my team throw away a game they have dominated, and i will admit that at times i've thought, "why do i bother putting myself through all of this?". But even though i have these pessimistic moments, i could never see myself supporting another team, and god forbid stop spending my money going to games. So this is where i get to my point.

I've been brought up with the "good old era", banging about. How the likes of Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush graced the pitch and made it impossible for the other team to score. But think about this. This golden era, wasn't made over night, it took alot of time. Just like the old saying "Rome wasn't made in a day", well "LFC wasn't made champions over night". It took time. Look at Bill Shanklys, first few seasons at Liverpool, it wasn't ultimate success. Probably in the modern era, he wouldn't have kept his job, but people stuck by him, and he made the basis of a team that to this day is the most successful team in Britain. What I'm trying to say is that, don't give up yet. Don't write this season off and for God's sake, don't write Rafa Benitez off, because for the first time since the last title win, it seems that we have a manager that could just bring us back the holy grail of football. We just have to be patient, and keep behind our lads and not get on there backs.

So next time your at Anfield, don't start the booing, we are kopites, we don't do that. Instead chant "we are champions" or "poor scouser tommy", anything but the boos. We don't want to be classed as the boo boys of the premiership. We have been lucky to have a golden past, and it seems to be we have a red future ahead, lets make that golden too.

...and with this I just want to say, us kopites, aslong as we got each other, we'll never walk alone.
