Did you actually watch them play last year?

Well in 2005, Liverpool were muck according to many but "somehow poxed into winning the thing outright". So if Liverpool could play poorly and battle through and get the job done why couldnt Milan have done the same last year?Quote:

But if you did, I won't try to convince you otherwise.
I hate the way man utd fans love to berate Liverpool fans over not winning the Premiership in 18 years. what they tend to forget is they went 26 years without winning the thing. Plus I bet they'd swap all those magnificent Premier trophies for LFC's 5 Big ones any time. Liverpool FC is all about the European Cup we won leagues for fun when it was necessary to win it to qualify for the European Cup now Fourth place is good enough to get in without killing ourselves. That's all the league was and is.... the only way into the real competition. I really don't know where the Idea that Liverpool fans want the Premiership more than the European Cup came from IMO that's tabloid tripe.Give me old big ears over the Premiership every time
Yeah I would, I want my football entertaining and successful simple as that. I believe the best way to win is to play good entertaining football. Esp at the highest level.Quote:

Some weeks they lose some weeks they win, true entertainment, better than borefests week in week out in my view.Quote:

I love the way when I made a comment about how Liverpool are boring to watch, a lot of Liverpool fans get so touchy. If you are so confident and so happy about the way Benitez is managing them why are you so touch. I reckon its the fact most Liverpool fans actually know what good football is as they saw it before and they are afraid to admit that they are not actually happy about how they are playing now. It must kill them that Man Utd have won leagues playing great football whereas Liverpool have came 3rd and 4th playing boring defensive football the last 10 years.
I doubt itQuote:

Derby? Fulham? Amongst others, they would maybe make the best 92 teams in the English league:)Quote:

Champions League = Champions, 2nd place, sometimes 3rd place and in some instances 4th place League. Derby and Fulham are a lot better than many teams who qualify for the "Champions" League from other countries so I wouldn't totally dismiss them because they are at the bottom of the Premiership.Quote:

Wayne Rooney has said that he would prefer to win the CL with UTD rather than
win the WC with England and I get the impression that Chelsea and UTD would both prefer the CL than the league given the choice.Most Liverpool supporters
I talk to would prefer to win the league because its been so long.
Take your pick from most of this lot:Quote:

Im gonna put a few quid on liverpool + Fenerbache to progress tonight
Great goal by Arsenal there, usual pass and move action we're used to from them
I'd say Liverpool will beat Chelsea in the semis. Chelsea were poor again tonight and a better side would have got back into it.
How was that a penalty???
I suppose if you've lost your balance and your arms are flailing you shouldn't be going near an attacker in the penalty area. If your name is Toure you definitely shouldn't. :)Quote:

I enjoyed that one.
Don't think it was a penalty. Fabergas caught Babel's hand outside the box, Babel lost his balance and knocked into the other Arsenal player (Toure?).
Didn't think it was one myself either, they do get given though so if I were Wenger and wanted to focus on a turning point I'd look at the obvious penalty in the first leg, or signing Sendaros a few years back :DQuote:

What would you have done? Changed the penalty taker for the most important penalty of the season because he's having a bad game?Quote:

worst of all - we now have another liverpool chelsea semi - the 2 most negative teams in europe going head to head..
sad night for football... i hope arsenal come back stronger than ever next year [and i think they will].. and i hope benitez gets the chop - and liverpool finally get someone to manage them who makes them some bit watchable...
roy evans anyone!!!!

Chelsea being at home in the second leg I think will swing it in their favour. Much easier to play at home in second leg knowing exactly what has to be done.Quote:
