It was billed as the clash between the table toppers against the bottom club. All facts that we had pointed to a Liverpool win. But alas, football is a funny game. With Harry breathing new life to the London club, they shocked the Reds 2-1. One would say, "so what?...its just the 10th game into a 38 game marathon" True, but being a club that have not won the Championship for the past 18 years, any hiccups would just be derailing that dream.
I am still pissed the morning after. Losing to a last minute goal after hitting the post several times is really, really disappointing. AM is disappointed too. He couldn't sleep until 5.30 am. I could relate to that. When I was his age, I would easily be affected. I think he has gotten that bug. After losing a big game, I would think and re-think what went wrong. Wait till AM actually plays football and he will relive the feeling himself. Winning every game is near impossible so this is a life experience.
Right now AM is avoiding newspapers just like I did then. Liverpool losing just made our weekend less happier.
