COME AND CELEBRATE THE 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE GREATEST NIGHT IN LIVERPOOLS HISTORY WITH THE MEN THAT MADE IT HAPPEN

Ask any Liverpool fan to name the greatest match in the club’s illustrious history and the chances are they’ll say ‘Istanbul’. Well Istanbul comes to the Echo Arena Liverpool for an incredible night on 25 May 2015, marking the 10th anniversary of that incredible night in the Ataturk Stadium where red-shirted heroes carved their names with pride to see Liverpool claim their fifth European Cup crown.

And a decade to the day, Monday 25 May 2015 those same Liverpool players will be gathering to celebrate that anniversary at the Echo Arena - and you can be there to join them for an exclusive one-night only event, The Istanbul Reunion Night.

We’ll be reliving the game with comments and commentary from those at the heart of the Miracle of Istanbul. They’ll take you through the build-up, the nerves, the tortured emotions as Milan went 3-0 up.

But they’ll also talk about the sheer enormity of the comeback, the tension of the penalty shoot-out and, finally, the euphoria of seeing Steven Gerrard hoist the cup above his head as Liverpool sealed their place in history.

Jamie Carragher Liverpool’s vice-captain on the night said: "If the fans who were in Istanbul on the night come and create that same atmosphere, the roof will come off the Arena.”

Heard this on the radio. Laughing here lol

The bad whoppers.

"Istanbul reunion" lol

 

[bizzaro]

the pact failed last year in spectacular fashion...recall games v Chelsea and Crystanbul. Also, Jags's injury time equaliser this season. Remember the old adage applies : 'when you dance with the devil, you don't lead'

Ultimately good triumphs over evil.

Its why their captain on national tv shouts "dont let this slip"

Only to then slip

And deny them what they sold their souls for.

To the team they blame for everything and primarily their hooligan history.


It was so perfect I saw many a blue with tears of happines roll down their cheeks. From laughing so much.

The ref will ensure progress

...talking to a reds season ticket holder in work yesterday, he said he got a seat in the paddock for the League Cup game. Just in front of the main stand and Director's box he said he was star struck and spent the 2nd half taking pics of Fowler and Rush behind him.

They are an odd bunch.

Not surprised he was taking pictures of people behind him, considering the rubbish on the pitch.

 

[Further Harm]

These fellers have some testing weeks ahead of them. After the international break they have 13 games in 6 weeks, across 4 competitions. Literally no let up.

My heart is bleeding purple puss for them.

It's certainly a ready-made excuse if it all goes tats up.

A couple of practical observations (and not from a psychiatric view - obviously the first thing that springs to mind)...

'Priority Booking' ... Presumably for Premier grade RS ****heads as opposed to the run of the mill sweats and zombies. Though it only allows one day's sales in advance - surely not long enough given the vast numbers involved ?
'Istanbul Reunion Night' ... Er....shouldn't this be in 'Istanbul' ? Although its commendable that theyve gone up in the world from The Olympia/Royal Court where they usually gather. I wonder if they'll have one of their turns on again...you know the one who sings eloquently about Manc ****s and Munich. Then again with all their vast experience in the many wallet-squeezing heartwarming productions they've done regarding Istanbul, they've more or less camouflaged that. Perhaps RS showbiz stars like Daniel Craig and Sue Johnstone will front this one....there wont be a dry eye in the house.

Sturridge on his injuries:

“Maybe it's hereditary. My uncle had a lot of injuries when he played, my dad had them as well. Maybe the Caribbean vibes give me speed but it also makes you more vulnerable to injuries because of the fast-twitch muscles."

Racist.

 

[bluelife]

Echo arena? Saddens me that enough people would actually go that they can afford to get the echo

 

[Deleted member 28206]

Haha. I don't usually buy into abuse of the RS, I'm usually just humoured but that's brilliant.

Precision science at its purest

Precision science at its purest

Luis Suarez was very influential on Sturridge. "Eeet iz your negro fast twitch muscles Senor Studge"
