Championship Sunday

Join the celebration on Championship Sunday as Liverpool F.C. fans rejoice with the Premier League trophy presentation.

This is the day that we, Liverpool F.C. fans, have been waiting for over the past month! Yes, we’ve known for a while that we could not be caught in the standings, but it’s all about the presentation of the Premier League trophy to start the full celebration. This one will be even sweeter, as the last celebration was muted due to the Covid pandemic in 2020.

As I’ve had the pleasure of both visiting the city of Liverpool and attend games at Anfield, I wanted to share a couple of those moments with you.

This is where it all takes place…

The Sign

Taking the tour of Anfield is a great experience and a must for all fans! Where else are you able to touch the same sign that many players do, as they walk toward the pitch?

My first visit to Anfield was in 2019, during the first half of the season that saw Liverpool win their first Premier League title in a long time! The game that night was a tense affair…

Liverpool – Tottenham

Early in the first half, the Spurs took the lead 0-1 from a Harry Kane goal. In the second half, Jordan Henderson scored the equalizer and Mohamed Salah put us ahead in the 75th minute from the penalty spot. A great result and a fantastic atmosphere in the stadium.

And of course, there is the iconic moment before each match at Anfield…

Gerry and the Pacemakers with their tune from the musical Carousel…You’ll Never Walk Alone, sang by a stadium full of fans! I recorded this before the game of my second visit to Anfield in 2021. That night, we took care of Arsenal in heavy metal fashion with a solid 4-0 win!

It doesn’t get any better!

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Number

Some excellent numbers!

Welcome to week 200 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!

As this is a pretty momentous number of times to have this challenge… why not make Number the theme for this week? There are many options for using Number in your photography from a simple count to deep numerology… It’s entirely up to you and your creative brain to decide on the approach!

I look forward to the innumerable ways you can approach this theme!

Here are some numbers…

Strong Numbers

As you might expect, I took this shot at the Liverpool FC fan store in a shopping mall in the great city of Liverpool; some of my favorite numbers are on display here, so I found myself drawn to one of them and made a purchase. Do you want to guess, which number it is?

The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

Don’t be just a number, as you come up with your number one and two, etc. shots!

Let’s Talk Some Trash!

Broncos will be busted with some Patriot missiles!!

Return for Refill!

The work week is coming to an end once again, or at least slowing down a bit, as there will be some testing that I’ll continue over the weekend.

Of course, like most of you, I have plans for the weekend, but most of them will be rather pleasant and relaxing, as I’m not overdoing it after fighting off this nasty stomach bug!  So here it goes…

  • Guitar lesson on Saturday!  Yes, this will be an hour of fun, as my guitar teacher makes it enjoyable and ensures that at the end of an hour’s playing, I always feel better about my ability than I should realistically.
  • The basement project shall continue…I’ll at least spend a couple of hours to further progress.  Baby steps!!
  • Hang with the dogs!  Did I ever mention that Cardigans are a blast to hang around with?
  • Hopefully not clear too much snow…the forecasters are saying that most will stay south of us, but you never know!
  • And watch the all-important game this weekend, as the Patriots exact revenge on the Broncos to complete their next step in the Farewell Goodell Tour!  Sorry Peyton (not really), but this is not your time, as Brady has his weapons of choice and will not be denied!

Enough trash talk for the moment!  What are your plans for the weekend?  Whatever they are, have a great one!!
