Twelve thousand, seventy-thirty-three days ago (not everyone counts) My partner and I stood on the old kop and watched Liverpool Edge QPR 2-1, Rush and Barnes did the best things Rush and Barnes did. It's a simple period: less hair, no smartphone, much less knees.

Fast forward 35 years (during this time, like two wrong midfielders, we somehow lost track of each other), and a few weeks ago we finally met again. On pints and nostalgia, he casually mentions that he might jump to Anfield on a weekend, “just to attract the atmosphere.” Going forward again to Sunday's 12.15pm, I sent a message of hope that he would go if he was going to- just being told he was already there, deep.
There is only one thing to do. Imprompt car trip from Lincoln to Sheffield, train to Lime Street, and then crazy taxi to the humans who drive straight into Taggy bars and beer gardens. I'm not lying to you, like I'm rushing into the crowd at 4.25pm, you're never going to rise from Anfield and the beer garden alone.
Next comes an afternoon of complete chaos, catharsis and joy: pints fly, songs with heart and spicy lung ties, old memories settled in dust, and new memories. Thirty-five years after celebrating the Liverpool League victory, we are here: older, gray, slightly squeaky, but impossible, impossible, the same. Liverpool champion, partner reunion and beer garden age. Some things are indeed worth the 12,783 days of waiting. Jason, Lincoln
Last year, when my 13-year-old grandson Alfie returned from Australia, we started to compete together. To me, it's more than just watching football. Just like my own grandpa once did for me, it was about passing on something precious. He gave me my love for this club - this love has shaped my life. And now, standing next to my grandson on Sunday, I feel the same magic again. Watching his face light up, feeling the emotions in the stands, seeing the pride in his eyes - it was overwhelming. It was one of the happiest moments of my life. The bond between generations is based on the fact that games are far more than just games. Andy Gibbs, 69, is a Liverpool consultant
As we all know, Liverpool has a large Scandinavian follower. Especially due to the live screenings of the old first partitions in the 1970s and 1980s. I've been following the team since 1977. With a few friends, I tried to see them live once a year: this season, we saw a rare failure at Craven Cottage a few weeks ago. Still, it's an amazing league season. You just need to provide the hat for Arne Slot - this is a first time hat! We saw the game on Sunday at a bar in Copenhagen. Many young people, but also many old timers, and whenever Daglish and Rush share a little tears on the screen. I know that Premier League tourists are not very popular everywhere, but this feeling is profound. It's as religious as it is - a little childish. This is a childhood thing. Jacob,Denmark
By any standard, this season was excellent, but in the first season he took over as dad/mentor/prime from Jürgen Klopp, every red wish we have in our lifetime, which is really amazing. Needless to say, these players are very talented and all professionals, so I understand that people refer to the legacy correctly, but the Polish and style that has been added to the prosperity, mind, body, and psychological attributes of this particular lineup have made Liverpool elevate what I might have dreamed about this season.

I wouldn't think that what I already need or may be, is that this is something I already need or may be, but every contribution goes a step further than I expected. There is not a lot to be opened around the world, but honestly, I can honestly say that the achievements of this season sometimes I hope that when talent combines hard work and good attitude, great things happen. I'm so grateful to Arne Slot for everything he did for him, which means a lot. ElizabethMerseyside County
After the 1990 championship, I started supporting the Reds and I realized that many other fans in the world did the same. So, waiting until the next championship in 2020 has allowed me to live a joyful and joyful moment. Thankfully, the title hasn't crossed 30 more, but it feels very illusory and unexpected, especially after Jürgen Klopp's departure. There was never a reassurance that we would win even if 11 points were clear, but this did happen when Arsenal scored further against Brentford when he beat the Hammer at Liverpool. Chun WeiSingapore
Yesterday was my highlight. I'm lucky to be in the competition and I will never forget it. Even if we've known for a while, the sheer elation is another matter once the full-time whistle is gone. I've never experienced an atmosphere like Sunday and wanted to do it all day again.

It was so special to see my club, my dad, my grandfather and great-fatherland club win our 20th title. My father was born on Anfield Road in the 1940s and his childhood residence was long been swallowed up by the stadium. He is no longer playing, but I'm glad he's still celebrating this incredible season.
One of the most important things for our family is actually the way the club is distracted by us during a terrible time. For most of the Klopp era, my mom had advanced cancer, and Liverpool won the Champions League and Premier League during this period to her and us, as it was a while with everything else going away. She passed away in 2021, but the club can finally celebrate the Premier League championship with fans. This moment with many family members and friends is very special, but it is also a pleasure to reflect the magic moment you share with people who are no longer here. Jenny, 40s, Editor, Wirrell
It's just a fabulous feeling. I first saw Liverpool on TV on TV in 1977 as a nine-year-old who had just turned around. Of course, we lost to Manchester United and didn't even wear red! But since then, it has supported them. Fortunately, later that week, TV news told me they were European champions. Since then, I have been following their results in the newspaper every Monday until six days after the game! In the 1980s, winning was routine, but so was passion. Then there is the tragedy of Heisel. Then there was a doubles redemption arc of 85-86, where I finally could watch their full live game for the first time in nine years. There are more victories, but there is no huge battle with Everton.

Then, during college, I found a newspaper in the cold winter cold of Canberra. And while doing so, it was discovered that the result of the Nighttime FA Cup semi-finals was not the result, but the destruction of Hillsborough in '89. In all the second half of the year after 1990, I have never left me - a special bond between clubs, cities, communities, communities and supporters. Istanbul's delight in 2005 "Istanbul" and "Damm Co ferguson stuffed with men's season" and the 2013-2014 season collapse. It seems we will never bridge the gap with Manchester United and the city. Klopp then arrived and found a belief again, especially when Salah arrived in 2017. Barcelona semifinals were as special as Istanbul in 2019, but winning on Sunday means more because we have eliminated that man’s leadership. It is true that the journey is as important as success, but after 1990 what happened to the club and without Anfield crowds celebrating this in 2020, it just did it. JulianAustralia
The last time I saw Liverpool win the league was a sophomore in Liverpool University. I've also been to Hillsborough for the next decade or so, and that doesn't matter. Just seeing the street scenes on Sunday will bring me back to a happier time. I am happy for the people of Liverpool. A great city. The best. Warren, 54, Epsom
I have been an avid Liverpool fan since I was 12 years old, long before Mo Salah was born. My brother is a huge UTD fan, so you can imagine how this happened. In 2012, I was able to save £2500 to go to Anfield and watch our game with Man Utd, and we sadly lost to us 2-1.

This season is surprising. With the culture fostering, working rate fostering, I knew from the beginning of this season that he was going to take us back where we were. We returned to the perch! SalamaKuwait
I am an exiled Scouser who spent Sunday celebrations at home with his children (a name Virgil, born in Madrid's European glory) and was still angry and jumping around despite the age of being unable to understand the full force of the moment. Despite some gentle and surreal celebrations in the last championship game, I was about the same age as them in 1990 and therefore couldn’t really understand its gravity, so it felt like my first championship win. It will be delighted to go home for the season to attend the celebrations and parades at the end of the season. It's best for other exiled Scousers and Liverpool fans around the world.
