Hi all fellow friends and LFC supporters. My fiancee and I was at the game at Anfield vs. Man Utd and would like to share my experience there with you guys.

We landed in Edinburgh almost a week before taking a 4 hours drive to Liverpool. Upon reaching Liverpool, the feeling of excitement has already filled up in me as the road signs in the highway points out how close Manchester is to Liverpool. Like as though when you drive along Federal Highway all you see is Klang and Shah Alam. Over there, all you see is Liverpool and Manchester, and occasionally Southampton, Swansea, or other towns which looks familiar because you know the football club.

Arriving a day before the game at Holiday Inn, we decided to take a tour down Liverpool City. It is no doubt a more laid back city with no buzz or tourists like how London is. Though there are not as many tourist, there are many Asian and East Europeans (I assume students) there. Somehow, I remain vigilante as there are quite a number of people both man and woman who were quite rowdy and loud and tipsy before 10pm. 3 degrees celcius at night with strong wind is no familiar territory as well. We decided to get some chinese food and head back to call it a night.

We left the hotel before 8am for the stadium tour. Too excited and also afraid of parking issues. It was a pleasant 15 minutes drive from the hotel to the stadium, passing by Goodison Park as well. There was barely any traffic at that hour on a Sunday. Plenty of free parking spots around, just 50 metres from the KOP. Walking towards the stadium, a junction just right outside the KOP, there were a few police officers and a van, cleaning up rubbles, and were picking evidence off the ground. There were blood everywhere. I thought, there must've been a fight last night. I learned that it was a car accident.

Stadium tour was very informative, fun, but a little rush. My advice is to do a stadium tour when it is not a match day.

View from the Kop.

Going round the museum is free and no time limit. It's a must see. There were plenty of videos, memorabilias like jerseys, and boots of legends and of course trophies. The main highlight - The 5th European Cup from Istanbul. Take a closer look and you will find the lip marks of the players who kissed it and fingerprints of players who lifted it are still visible!

Waited for 2 more hours, got some chinese food just right outside the stadium for 5pounds (enough for 2). It was time to go in. Atmosphere was building and people start to fill the stadium. Anfield Road however, were filled with people like ourselves, 1-timers and tourists.

Players' name are announced and cheered. Jeers were given to the opposing team. The song started playing. Everyone got up, scarves were waved and stretched across. It was loud, yes, hair at the back of my neck were standing, even as I'm typing this. I can't sing to save my life, Ang moh guy next to me can't sing too, but we sang our hearts out.

Sing your heart out, even if you can't sing to save your own life.

The Kop never stopped singing the entire match. However, sitting at the Anfield Road, closer to the travelling fans, it can be quite annoying. I have to give it to them too, they never stopped singing.

Each time the ball approaches both goals, everyone stands up to have a better view, you can hear the flip chairs all go up. Sounds like Joey Jordison on his double pedal. The atmosphere got more intense as the game was coming to an end. The announcer on the mic at least 5 times reminding away fans to stay where they are after the match and will be escorted to their transport back. Would've expected what is going to happen if both sides get out of the stadium at the same time.

We got out sour, beaten, and sad of course. Captain got sent off in a mere 40 seconds and it was the 1st game beaten after the 12 games run, and we never looked good after that. Nonetheless, it is an experience that will never be forgotten. Definitely not my last time there.
