Liverpool Crowned Champions: Joy, Relief and Celebration
Liverpool FC have once again captured the imagination of their supporters, lifting the Premier League trophy for the 2024-2025 season. On the latest episode of Chat G&G from AnfieldIndex, hosts Grizz Khan and Gags Tandon shared raw, emotional reactions following Liverpool’s crowning moment.
Intoxicated by Liverpool’s Triumph
Grizz Khan captured the mood perfectly, admitting, “The intoxication comes from my love affair with this football club.” Describing the aftermath, he confessed, “Today Gags, I am so battered and so bruised I’ve been relaxing putting my feet up in the sun in the garden trying to recover.”
The intensity of the celebration was not lost on Gags either, who revealed that he spent most of his free time re-watching Liverpool’s official coverage. “I’m still rewatching it,” he said. “Every single second of it… anytime I get on my own, I’m watching it.”
Joy After Decades of Waiting
Discussing the significance of the title, Grizz explained the scale of the moment: “You wait 35 years to celebrate with your fans,” adding, “We’ve watched everybody else win it for 35 years… dreaming of when is it going to be us and yesterday we got it.”
It was a poignant reflection on the past pain, with Gags noting, “We’ve been within touching distance at least three times and then we couldn’t even celebrate.” This season felt different, a catharsis not only for the players but for the fans who had endured so much.
Party Like It’s 2025
Throughout the episode, humour and happiness intertwined. Grizz joked, “Party like 1999 is an old thing – it’s got to be party like 2025, mate!” This sentiment captured the sense of relief and uncontained joy amongst Liverpool supporters.
He also referenced his playful antics with a Manchester United fan at work: “When I unzip got the white Liverpool shirt he was like ‘You bastard.'”
The hosts were quick to highlight the natural flow of celebrations, with Grizz proudly stating, “None of that in my opinion was pre-planned or pre-ordained. It was all natural flow and that’s what we’re about.”
The Champions’ Mentality
As Liverpool’s new era under Arne Slot begins, Gags pointed out how the club’s winning culture endured: “Slot touched upon that… he said the winning culture and mentality of this squad – amazing.”
Grizz agreed, stressing the influence of experienced leaders: “Look at the players behind – Mo, Ali, Trent, Robo, Gomez – you’re going to look up to them.”
The episode also touched on individual stories, such as Ibrahima Konaté’s struggles. Grizz shared Konaté’s feelings: “I felt like a flipping loser,” highlighting the centre-back’s resilience through past defeats in finals before finally tasting league success.
