96 Points on 96 Minutess

entry picture

30 long seasons and now that moment has come.
In that time 2 European Cups have been won.
And domestic Cups too, our captains have kissed.
But the biggest prize of all we have sorely missed!

Heartbreak there has been over those many years.
Near misses and touching distance, ending in tears.
But lots of times too, we where never even in the race.
Slipping down the table with bankruptcy to face.

Then Klopp came along with a bold vision in mind.
He asked us to 'believe' and success we would find.
That success came in Europe with victory in Madrid.
But at home we fell 1 point short in our Title bid.

We amassed 97 points, an amazing 2nd place haul.
Koppites became 'believers' we answered Klopps call.
But after such a gallant effort how would the team fare?
Could they go 1 step further, dream should we dare?

This season will go down in history as it came to a stop.
The World suffered a pandemic, no flags on the Kop.
Thousands of lives lost and World lockdowns the norm.
All sport took a back seat, too many deaths to mourn.

Would football return, with about 9 or 10 games to play?
The decision was was made, they would find a safe way.
So football returned, sanitized and behind closed doors.
Goals would be greeted in silence, or with canned TV roars.

Pre lockdown Liverpool where brilliant and Title bound.
Man City chased our shadow, despite their dirty pound.
So when the season resumed, we quickly put it all to bed.
The Title was coming home, our City that night turned red!

Now tonight at Anfield, our players should not feel alone.
96 Angels will be there, making Anfield tonight their home.
So when Hendo raises that trophy, high into the Anfield sky.
Let's not forget those we love and miss, and the reasons why.
