To borrow a line from Dame Edna, if the Scousers want to learn a foreign language, they should try English.Just seen a photo of Liverpool fans with a banner saying "Grazie Roma por Mo Salah" which is basically half-Italian/half-Spanish
No, I'm not fun at parties.
Mates have got it coming to them, they've been chucking it to me the last few weeks so I've got pay back on my mind lol
Only if they win it as they are guaranteed to be in pot 1. If they don't win it they will have a lower coefficient than us.Pretty sure them getting to the final could also affect which pot we go into when next season's CL draw is made.
Indeed. If they weren't such obnoxious bastards we might have a tiny bit more enthusiasm for them winning this.Lol at the people saying they're happy for our rivals to do better in a competition than us, as though not admitting they're jealous somehow makes them better people...im jealous and im not ashamed of that fact.
Fuck Liverpool, their unbearable fans and their pundits, I hope they get humiliated.

As a team... fair play to that Liverpool team. They beat who was infront of them and made it to the final which is quite a feat so credit to the team.
The fans though... fuck the fans. They're fans are entitled as shit and can do one big time.
It'll be interesting to see how Liverpool approach the rest of the season, because they're not yet guaranteed a CL spot. If we beat West Brom and they lose to Chelsea it all gets very interesting for them with them having to go for it in their final few games whilst they have one eye on the final. Looking at how their league form it's hard to bank on them.
If Liverpool don't make it into the top 4... who's had the better season? Them for making it to the CL final but no top 4 or us for yet another top 4 finish?
I completely agree. They have some of the worst and most irritating fans in the league and a gang of god-awful pundits wanking themselves silly over the whole thing. I was delighted for them in 2005 but I can't think of many things worse than them winning it this time around.
Yes they've played some superb football at times this season and yes they have the first player in the last decade who's looked like having anything close to a chance of breaking the Ronaldo/Messi duopoly on the Ballon D'Or. But they are likely to finish 4th, perhaps even 5th in the league, they went out of the Carabao Cup in the first round, they were knocked out of the FA Cup at home against the worst team in the league managed by Alan Pardew and they've relied on shocking refereeing decisions across multiple rounds to get through one of the easiest routes to the Champions League final ever known. We've played a harder set of Champions League fixtures than they have this season and we went out three rounds ago!
Depend on if they win it or not. If they win it their season is amazing, finishing fifth wont change that.
Losing the final and finishing fifth would make this a horrible season
Oh for sure. If they win it no question they had the better season. If they lose it though... is getting to the final enough
Agree. Some proper jealous fans on here. Fair play to them. Nice to see an English team doing well imo.
You clearly don't have a Liverpool supporting older brotherI’m bucking the trend here but I’m delighted for them. I spend enough of my energy hating chelscum and the woolwich Arsehole. I can’t hate everyone. It’s not as if we’re catching up with them, I hope they win it.
Let's be careful with this mindset. On paper maybe we might be able to argue we had the harder games, sure. Still that's how the CL works. That's how these tournaments work. You can only beat who's infront of you and they did. I mean let's not get it twisted, they demolished Man City over two legs. Man City who are running away with the league. Looking at how much Man City have run away with the premier league and their talent on show... they're up there as one of the best teams in Europe and Liverpool embarrassed them.
Then they managed to outlast the team who just eliminated Barcelona... so not like they've just had pushover after pushover.
You mentioned 2005 and I totally agree with you on their win then, I was thrilled for them and was rooting for them throughout all the knockout rounds that season.I completely agree. They have some of the worst and most irritating fans in the league and a gang of god-awful pundits wanking themselves silly over the whole thing.

Interesting snippet from the BBC on the fabled Klopp :
"Yet the former Borussia Dortmund boss has struggled since winning the 2012 German Cup final.
His past five finals have all ended in defeat, a statistic that will have to end if Liverpool are to be crowned champions of Europe for a sixth time."
They did thrash Man City but they benefitted hugely refereeing decisions and their fans attacking the City bus to rattle them for that first 45 minutes. I still think that had either of City's disallowed goals across the two legs been given then Liverpool would have gone out.
The "Roma beat Barca" case is a fairly weak one. It's the "Scotland are World Champions" argument from 1967. Roma may have beaten Barcelona but they are not Barcelona, they are the 3rd/4th best team in Italy who shocked everyone to have gotten as far as they did and it was a significantly more favourable game for Liverpool than if Barca had gone through. Do we need to fear teams in League One who beat Wigan this season just because they knocked Man City out of the FA Cup? And even then, Liverpool almost let a 5-0 lead slip and could easily have done with better refereeing calls.
If Liverpool beat Madrid then they deserve to lift the trophy. Of course they do. You beat what is put in front of you. Just find the whole thing cringeworthy. Is this Liverpool side any better than the Benitez one with Torres, Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano etc? How about the Rodgers side of Suarez, Sturridge, Sterling, Coutinho etc? I'd argue no in both cases.
Rare that I want a Chelsea win but I really hope they beat them this weekend.
I will watch it, should be a good game, if Liverpool win, I'll turn it off before they lift the trophy. If Madrid win it's going to be awesome trolling some of my Liverpool supporting mates, especially if they go to Kiev to watch.Now there's a final I won't bring myself to watch.
