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.

On the basis that we took 4 points off Madrid in the group stages, should Liverpool lose the final, anyone I know who is a fan will be getting it both barrels.

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.

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.

Indeed. If they weren't such obnoxious bastards we might have a tiny bit more enthusiasm for them winning this.
Any small bit of respect I had for Liverpool went that day Suarez was tearing us a new one and I had to listen to these two bellends in the pub slabbering that "we run football now" and "Liverpool deserve to be in the Champions League, it's where we belong".
It also doesn't help when the majority of this country is either Utd or Liverpool.

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!

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?

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

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.

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

No
No one cares who lost the final. At the end of the day that scenario end in EL next season, and that is just a bad season

If Liverpool didn't act like such self-entitled ****s then as a neutral I would like them to win as an English team.
But they're such big-headed cocky fuckers and so ingrained in the media that I just want them to fail miserably as much as possible.
Looking at other teams up there:
- Chelsea, completely scummy racist club funded by dirty Russian money who we also have a bad relationship with. Also had a lot of nasty ****s playing for them.
- Arsenal, don't really need to explain that one...
- Manchester United, hmmmmm a slightly lesser evil although I've gone right off Mourinho thesedays (used to find him quite amusing) and in Ferguson's day they were nasty cheating ****s quite often. If van Gaal was still in charge of them I MIGHT have rooted for them.
- Manchester City, completely fake plastic team who has just thrown money at everything. Plus Guardiola (I refuse to call him Pep) acts like a spoiled brat when things don't go his way.
So in a nutshell a lot of English Teams are just not that likeable really, or at least the ones who regularly contest at the top of the table.
If the likes of e.g. West Brom or Southampton for example were contesting in a European cup final I would happily root for them.
You clearly don't have a Liverpool supporting older brother

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.

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.
Something happened to them after that, or maybe it was more specifically after Benitez led them to within a whisker of the title in 2009 and it all started to go down hill for them in the league. The cultists came out in force to replace Hodgson with Dalglish, and succeeded, and since then they've just got worse and worse.
I have a few good mates who are the reasonable kind of Liverpool fan (they do exist), but I can't be happy for them when Pool do well any more. The cultists have ruined the way I look at that club.

That could be the mental blockage / Achilles heel that might be Klopp's biggest problem.
During the build up to our FA Cup semi final the press, pundits and dickhead trolling rival fans
kept reminding us that we had lost 7 semis (now 8 of course) since 1991 ... Will those same folk be reminding
Klopp about his failings ?
Somehow I doubt it, the media darlings will give him an easy ride.

I still think you're massively discrediting Liverpool here. Man City may have been a little rattled sure but to be 3-0 down in that manner that quickly is more than just being rattled. Liverpool played well and deserved to beat Man City, especially over two legs. Liverpool were the better team over 180 minutes. Even still... the main point of bringing up Man City was that they have played good/great teams.
As for bringing up Roma, that was more the idea that yes, some teams may seem better on paper but that doesn't mean they're going to win or should get any less credit for winning. Barca 'should' have beat Roma but they didn't. Does that make Roma better than Barca? No. But Roma are a good side and proved difficult to beat.
My whole point in all this is Liverpool deserve to be in the CL final. As a team they have done everything asked of them in that competition. Yes in the FA Cup and Carabo cup they didn't perform and they're likely to finish below us in the league again but they have produced when they needed to in the CL. Is it the greatest Liverpool team ever? No. But it's doing what it needs to do so no matter how much we may dislike their fanbase etc... we should give them credit for making it to the CL. It's not a fluke. It's not luck of the draw or anything like that. They just have kept winning when they needed to and fair play to them (by them I mean their team, not their fans. Fuck their fans)
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.
