I will be in Liverpool in a few weeks time and naturally I will be seeing us play at Anfield and also do the stadium tour.
So, getting a little exicted now and was wondering if anyone has been and how was your experience?

We never looked interested for the rest of the game and in the second half it got worse as Svensson ghosted into the box from a corner and headed truly. We got one back with 15 minutes to go through Heskey but we lost 2-1. I would have to wait several years before seeing my first win at Anfield.
My next match wasnt until the 07-08 season when I went to Anfield to see us play against Barnsley in the FA Cup but despite and early lead through Kuyt, a second half header from Foster levelled the scores. Then late on right in front of me sitting in the Kop, Howard lost possesion after a decent penalty shout, got back up, won back the ball and rifled it into the bottom corner right at the death. Again I go to Anfield and again we lose. We put out a good side that day and should never have lost, there goalkeeper, Steele played a blinder. I was beginning to think I was a curse.
A week later I was back at Anfield for a league match against Boro and my curse seemed to continue with Tuncay coasting into the box 9 minutes in from a free kick and nodded home. I was thinking I should just leave as I was a curse. But then Fernando Torres happened. I was in the Anfield Road end right near the Boro supporters and a quickfire double from Torres silenced the Boro fans and the Liverpool fans started up a ... "You're not singing, you're not singing, you're not singing ANYMORE!"
Torres completed his hattrick in the second half and a late Downing goal made it a 3-2 win to Liverpool for my first win watching the boys.
Next up was a trip to the Reebok where we won 3-1. An own goal from Jaaskelainen gave us the lead, it was a howler too. Weak shot from Gerrard that was actually going wide and somehow Jaaskelainen managed to put it into his own net. Babel and Aurelio completed our scoring and Cohen got a late one for them.
Back to Anfield I went for our next match which was a glorious 4-0 smashing of West Ham. Another Torres hattrick and one for Gerrard. And a week later I watched the boys crush Newcastle at Anfield 3-0. Pennant, Torres and a Gerrard screamer were the scorers that day.
Then I was back at Anfield just last week to watch Torres score his volley to give us a win against WBA. Ive also got tickets for the Steau Bucharest game at Anfield next week. Which will be my first European night at Anfield. Im pretty ****ing excited.
Sorry to bore you with my stories. RevDog, you're gonna ****ing love it.
