As Bill Shankley , the late manager of Liverpool F.C., used to say.. "Football is not a game of life or death..it's much more important than that."

I went to Liverpool the other week to watch Newcastle.. and although we lost I had the good fortune to meet some really lovely, warm, genuine people.

For our friends across the water... for 'football' read 'soccer'.

I have often wonderered if soccer or American football crowds chant at games, because here ,sometimes the humour and singing is better than the football.

love and happiness
