The more you think about it, the more you realize that 'The Slip' could not in any way have been a coincidence. It's written as perfectly as a scene in an award winning movie.
Liverpool on course to finally break the title drought. Their most hated rivals nowhere even in the picture. A roaring victory in front of their fans against the only team with a chance of taking the title from them. Their inspirational captain, their leader, the man who most Liverpool fans would say embodied their team for the duration of his time there, gives a chest thumping, inspirational speech, that this does not slip now. Roll on the next game, against the manager who probably hated Liverpool more than anyone else in the game at that time, and the very same captain that gave that speech, that used those specific words, slipping, goes on to slip, giving the ball away and leading to a goal that goes on to derail their title win.
If someone didn't watch football or didn't know about this event, and you explained that to them, they would have a hard time believing it was real and not something out of a movie. It's just so perfect it beggars belief.
