A Shakespearian Drama
02/06/05

A Blue, or not a Blue: that is not in question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The Red Hordes outrageous moment of fortune,
Or to take arms against a doubting world,
And by opposing, burnish Euro silver? To try: to win;

Once more; and by winning to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That Blues are heir to, 'tis a Goodison consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To try, to win;
To win: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in the European theatre what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off the fields of play,
Must give us pause: there's the wavering respect
That makes calamity of such loyal blue support;

For who would bear the whips and scorn of rule change,
The red oppressor’s wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The despised neighbours wail, UEFA officials delay,
Their damn’d insolence of office rightly spurns
The patient merit of the worthy takes,
When the ginger man might his Euro quest make
With sweet flowing movement. A man to be reckon’d,
Inspiring belief under those European lights.
But still we feel the dread of something to be lost,

That undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No team returns, a red puzzle that will
Make us all bear those ills we have always known
Than fly to another level that we know not of?
Thus the red conscience doth make cowards of them all;
And the native Royal blue hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale pink cast of doubt,
Great Anfield moments of genius are in short supply
With this regard their current fortune turns awry,

And they fail in the name of justice. - Soft you now!
The fair Beneathus! A numpty in thy orisons,
Be all your sins remember'd.

William Shakespeare - a Blue, obviously.
