As I was sipping my bitter coffee today in office, I cannot help but to think of all the 'problems' that ol'Jon is facing. Work related - tonnes of it, Family related - relative less but somehow significant, Personal related - too much to mention, Health related - minor issues here and there, Appearance related - something bad brewing.
Well someone once told me that everyone has problems. The only ones that doesn't have problems are dead anyway. The theory is that, it is ok to have problems. In fact it is very normal to have problems. It is only bad when the problem affects you personally, and by that ol'Jon meant that you let it affect you personally and went on to a self-destruct mode. It is not that the happiest person in the world has no problems. The only difference with people who are happy and depressed is how they dealt with their problems. Sounds easy enough? It is actually.
Today it is not about me though, today is about the Mighty Reds, the Redmen from Merseyside. ol'Jon had always supported Liverpool. When ol'Jon is growing up, the Mighty Reds went from the Invincible to the Defeatables....if ever this terms exist! Man Utd was on the rise and every 10 kids who played football, 7 would be Man Utd fans. There will be a couple of Liverpool supporters and probably one who support Spurs. Anyway, my choice of love, my choice of allegiance gave me a lot of problems. From the You'll Never Win Anything to the current Debacle that Liverpudians are Racist....we stand strong.
And on February 26th 2012, the Mighty Reds rewarded their supporters with the Carling Cup Trophy. Never mind this is our 1st trophy for the past 6 years. Never mind this is the least desirable domestic trophy(ask that to Chelsea and Man City fans). Never mind if Liverpool won it the hard way. Never mind that 2 seasons ago, Liverpool were imploding and no where near any trophy. Never all those....the important thing is that, Liverpool does not let its problem affect it. Liverpool will not let problems or negativity to stand in its rich history. For one night, it doesn't matter what problems us Liverpudians had. We tasted the 8th Heaven....yup we won it the 8th time! YNWA
Anfield South is Wembley! YNWA
