A tentative start, and QPR taking the lead wasn't what we' hoped for, and news that Villa were winning wasn't what we wanted to hear either.
But on 40 minutes Ian Rush banged in the eqaliser at the near post, past future England 'keeper David Seaman, but, Villa were winning 3-1 by now, so perhaps the title wasn't going to be today.
At half time, the talk was of whether we could still get the 3 points, and finally win the title on Tuesday with a win against Derby County, but as we all know, football is such an unpredictable game.
The second half starts with Liverpool looking eagerly to score the next goal that would put us in the lead, and on 63 minutes, we were somewhat fortunate to win a penalty, which John Barnes calmly put away to give Liverpool the lead.
Looking comfortable for the win, and the minutes ticking away, a shout was heard from somewhere behind me on The Kop, that shout soon turned to a roar that swept like wildfire around the whole of Anfield, looking around puzzled many people were unsure of what was going on, then from what seemed to be from the same place the shout was heard from, a cry of "champions, champions" was heard, this spread round the ground even quicker than the roar.
It had turned out that Norwich had pulled 2 goals back to make it 3-3, the somewhat quietened atmosphere had turned to one of celebration, "you'll never walk alone" all but drowned out the final whistle, it was confirmed, Villa had drawn 3-3 at home To Norwich, and Liverpool FC were champions again.
After the game, we met our coach at The Sportsmans pub, owned by Liverpool midfielder, Ronnie Whelan, who was there after the match, along with fellow central midfielder Steve McMahon, so we stayed for a bit and had a few celebratory drinks, which was nice.
Final Score: Liverpool 2 QPR 1
