well, this is my first ever blog & i dont really know how to start off. just giving it a try. let me start off with my latest addiciton FIFA, its not the organisation i am talking about, it's the EA sports pc game. i just went into the topper's room once & saw a few guys playin the game. so i just thought why dont i give it a try. copied it onto harddisk and started playin n guess what, i even bunked classes so that i could play.
Then started watching football on TV, started liking it and had to ditch cricket (my first love). But then T20 has given cricket a new dimension and i am happy about that.
It was on may 13th 2006 that i saw a football game with thorough interest. it was the FA cup final Liverpool vs Westham. At that point of time i was not really a fan or supporting any club. Liverpool had the most miserable of starts with an own goal from Mr. Carra & went further down with miserable goal keeping. But then it had to be Gerrard who had to inspire the team. A pin point cross found Cisse and he converted it with a nice volley. Gerrard then capitalised on some confusion in the box and slammed one into the left top corner.
But then i thought may be both the sides would just sit tight and defend. Some Mr. Konchesky scored a freak goal, it was supposed to be a cross actually. 90 minutes were over. 3 minutes of injury time was added on. Then it was Mr. Liverpool who had to come up with the goods. That poor fellow had cramps, struggling to run, forget taking a shot. and beleive it or not, out of nowhere Gerrard belted one from 30+ yards out & it went in like a rocket. Liverpool went on to win the game on penalties and i knew which team i was gonna support for the rest of ma life.
LIVERPOOL!!
YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE!!

I just read your blog now and somewhere at the back of my mind i felt that, THIS is one of those blogs where i must leave a comment. As i finished i observed and realised some fascinating charectaristics about the 'abhi'.
Dude, the very first thing that struck me was the amount of detail with which you recounted your first match. Right from the date, month and year to the very last detail of the goals scored. It must have been really a BIG day in your life to recount everything even after nearly 2 years. shit! thats some helluva passion for the game u got there pal!. and dude i can clearly see that u pretty much said everything frm the heart. nice ;) i hope that ur blog recieves several visitors to read ur wonderful blogs which i hope u write( or else i'll be there somewhere near to kick ur ass). chow.
whoa! you're one diehard fan of Liverpool.. and that conviction till today.. awesome man.. keep going..
'football' is not just the game they play there.. but also fans like u i guess..
expecting more such quality posts from u!
