The night Liverpool FC and its fans got fed up of feeling miserable
The Kop at Anfield 460[LNB]SMILES abounded at Anfield last night for the first time in what seemed like forever and they weren't just about the Kop's light-hearted advice to the visiting manager about his well-documented fiscal activities.[LNB]There have been several so-called 'turning points' in this most excruciating of seasons and it would be foolhardy in the extreme to begin making rash predictions as to what the hard-fought but ultimately fully-deserved win over Tottenham might mean in the overall context of Liverpool's season.[LNB]It was mooted before the double-header either side of New Year against fellow Champions League-place contenders Aston Villa and Spurs that a minimum of four points was required to give a realistic chance of attaining a top four finish but results across the division in this most unpredictable of Premier League seasons should ensure that no-one at Anfield will be taking anything for granted.[LNB]Perhaps the most important factor to emerge from the Reds' first league win of the new decade (read match report) was a sense of Liverpudlians falling back in love with their team again.[LNB]From the frenzied welcome dished out by hundreds of die-hards to the team bus as it edged up Anfield Road an hour and half before kick off to the trademark 'big European night' style atmosphere inside the ground, capped with a heartfelt and defiant 'You'll Never Walk Alone' at the end, the famed synergy between team and supporters, which many feels defines Liverpool Football Club, seemed to be back in fully working order.[LNB] It is one of the oldest imponderables in football: does the team feed off the crowd or the crowd feed off the team?
