That was so sad!
Oh Michael, why did you ever leave?
You were so good at Liverpool!
Oh, if only he'd stayed, things could have been so different...

*sigh* Oh well!
Onto happier news and on the subject of Carra's day, have you checked Xabi's twitter account?!!!
This is what he wrote for Carra:
"Carra-dona testimonial today. LFC legend!! Congratulations mate. Sorry not to make it..."

How cute is that?!!! I almost died. XD

I did indeed see his tweet. It's so lovely to see the bonds that current and former players still seem to have.

Thanks for reading and commenting.

Wow, this is amazing. I suppose that Michael's thoughts in this story, his doubts, his hopes, his worries, are quite similar to what every Liverpool fan must be feeling about him, only from a different perspective. We wish he'd stayed, wish he'd continued being great for us, wish he'd never left Stevie - and he wants to be remembered for what he did for the club and not for leaving, wants to be considered part of Liverpool by the fans as well as his (former) teammates, and also he wants to still mean something (good) to Stevie. And even though it's awfully sad that Stevie isn't speaking to Michael anymore, I think that it's also understandable because Stevie has been tempted to leave too, what with all the problems at the club and the bad last season and everything, but he didn't do it, and I suppose he's reproaching Michael of taking the easy way out instead of fighting. *sigh* Well, don't we all. It would be wrong, somehow, if Stevie and Michael were talking again, or being friendly with each other again after all that happened ( ... )

I failed to reply to this yesterday because my head was on the verge of explosion and I didn't want to thank you with incorrect spelling, ha.

Thank you so much for your comments. I love how football-centric your thoughts are, because that's very much what I was trying to focus on when writing this. Michael Owen stirs up so many emotions in Liverpool fans, and I can't begin to imagine how much awkwardness he deals with on a daily basis. And I don't know what his relationship with Stevie is like, but as you said, I'd understand if it was strained.

If you'd like to watch the match, some kind person at ontd_football uploaded it here. I think that the first half is worth watching, for nostalgia's sake. :)

Thank you again. ♥
