*Shakes head* Everton again.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

They had great players, but looking back, they obviously had some sort of psychological issue. Not only did they bottle the Champions League final that year, but they'd also bottled the league earlier to Juve after having led them.

 

Doesn't take away from LFC's achievement but the Milan side that year was a bit overrated.

 

Nah.

[Ne Moe Imya]

The lowly AC Milan team of 2005

 

 

Dida,

 

Cafu,

Maldini,

Stam,

Nesta,

 

Gattuso (Rui Costa 112),

Seedorf (Serginho 86),

Pirlo,

 

Kaka,

 

Shevchenko,

Crespo (Tomasson 85).

 

Wow, you forget what a good side that was!  Could make a decent case that that list of players is up there for the most quality in every single position of any club side in history.  

 

Strange that they didn't win more than they did (although in saying that, most of the same players won the league the year before this and the CL two years before and two years later).

[Hades]

The Juventus side we got past in the quarter final wasn't too bad either.

 

Buffon, Thuram, Montero, Cannavaro, Camoranesi, Emerson, Nedved, Olivera, Zambrotta, Ibrahimovic, Del Piero

That Juve game at Anfield was something else. Straight out of the traps. I was jumping all over everyone when Garcia's goal went in.

[Jennings]

... neither have I ever heard a Liverpool fan bleat on about the mancs the way the shite do about us, quite the opposite in fact, even when the mancs are winning in finals most of their songs are about us.

 

I kinda agree here. 

Remember when Mourinho was on Twitter just before we played 'em, saying "Liverpool are not the last wonder of the world like you like to say they are."

The next day he rocked-up at Anfield and played a horribly defensive tactic with a squad worth a quarter of a billion quid; they sang about us; we sang about us...and I thought to myself "We fucking are the last wonder of the world, and he knows it."

It's like when Ferguson used to go on about 'knocking us off our perch' when we were all about 20 years past caring.

 

It was like David Hay bragging about the fact he'd just broken one of Muhammed Ali's records while the man himself is sat in his wheelchair trying to open a packet of crisps with his teeth.

True, I've never celebrated a nil nil game so much and probably never will again.

So you're saying we're finished?

 

I don't believe you think that for a second otherwise why would you bother.

 

That's your old defence mechanism kicking in again 'if I say I never thought we'd win anything again then I won't be disappointed and no one can slag me when we fuck it up again'

 

This season is a prime example. When we fucked it all up again in January nobody expected us to do anything this year so nobody was that bothered. Right? Never seen so many people who knew we wouldn't win the league this season so totally fucking devastated in January.

 

Getting back to the original point. I'd rather see anybody win anything other than United and that includes Everton and I'd guess I'm not alone in that. I'll be hoping Chelsea win tomorrow night.

Brilliant post.

[Gnasher]

I've never heard a Liverpool fan try to discredit Manchester United's Champions League Final victories.

 

The first one was won fair and square with a superb side.

 

The second they were played off the park but fortune favoured them in the final few minutes.

 

The third was only won as big head Terry wanted the glory of kicking the winning penalty instead of letting Anelka take it as was planned.

You don't half chat some shite Paco. '20 years past caring' the mancs were going to overtake us.

Back in 68 watching that game (there wasnt many live games on tv back then) I remember being so pissed off when they equalised I went in the yard to play on my scooter. When mum came out to say they'd scored again to take the lead I said fuck off and got a clip around my earhole for mutter such words.

 

Im not sure if it was 68 or 69 when trying to defend the champions cup that they nearly got relegated.

 

2nd one bayern really should have buried them but schmichel made a truely world class save to keep it 1-0 and at the time, I thought that was a turning point in the game. Gutted when the cunts won in the last 2 minutes but it summed them up, never beaten until the whistle went.

 

3rd was a shitfest, wanted them both to lose. The only good part was seeing terry crying like a baby.

[Paco]

I was somewhere between broome and Darwin when I heard on the radio they'd won. Only saw Terry's penalty recently.

 

The 99 one I thought they were beat and was getting ready for a good gloat.

[Scooby Dudek]

There is a major difference between wanting the Mancs to lose and obsessing over every single decision in every single game we play. 

 

I couldn't name the current Utd starting 11 next mind knowing every single player in their Champions league squad from over a decade ago. It is a whole different level.

[Tony Moanero]

The one over there wasn't much fun though

I decided not to go and used the money I saved to pay for a trip to Amsterdam. I couldn't give my match ticket away though.

Vile night. Apart from the result of course.

Yer ma was selling it outside the ground. Not just the ticket.

Igor MOTM.

 

Strange days, indeed.

Strange days, indeed.

i forgot about his performance that night. he as brilliant. 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Here's a good example of the different levels of obsession - we can't even keep to the subject of Everton in our Everton thread.

[Paulie Dangerously]

"Seen they're giving out the lyrics to 'that song' with the tickets now lad hahah"

 

Morning. 

[Harry Squatter]

At least the thick twats don't have to learn the words to their aids ridden "song"

What's he basing this on?

That photo of someone with the lyrics to YNWA written down that was doing the rounds yesterday.
