if ever you wanted...

[Uncle Urchin]

a good reason why english football is the best you saw it tonight....

 

Milan were superb in the fist half (and a little lucky) should have been a pool pen at 1-0...

 

but what a magnificent comeback.....no other team in the world could have done that tonight.....

Even as an Everton follower, I really felt for the Reds last night. Must admit dunno how I would have felt if it had been Man United States.

[BOROMAN]

Last night was something special.

 

Although I am a Spurs man, Liverpool in Europe doing the business is something fundemental amount the English game.

 

Also they always appear to have genuine fans, not glory hunting plastic ones like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Man U. Liverpool create a quality atmosphere when they come to the European stage.

 

Yes I grew up on watching Liverpool glory nights in Europe. The early rounds 1/4 finals and semi's on Sportsnight with Coleman, then the treat to have the final live on the box. I also saw the great Liverpool sides of the late 70's & 80's come to White Hart Lane etc.

[coupwotcoup]

Back in the 80s and beyond that, it was the real European Cup, ie the champions of each league, not the second, third or even fourth-placed club.

Teams from the same country could be drawn against each other from the outset ie Forest v Liverpool in 78-79. Now of course it is run by the G14(?) clubs, who whinge about divine rights for this, that and the other. Even had the Frog and the Sweaty moaning this season about their respective teams being knocked out early.

Ah bless em. And why on earth do the automatically drop into the UEFA Cup if they lose early doors?

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

All good points, except from that load of bollards from the spuds fan.

 

I bet you'd love to be in real europe?

Have to agree about the old days of the European Cup when only true champions qualified.

 

Last season, Liverpool finished 30 points behind Arsenal and qualified. This season they have finished 37 points behind Chelsea.

 

Fantastic victory last night and don't wish to take anything away from the present Liverpool side, but their predecessors did things by winning the league first to qualify.

im glad for the first time in my lifetime we have won the european cup in a great match and what happen to the boring 0-0 draw people were talking about although someone may have to tell me about the pens cos i couldn't quite watch

[Fruitbat]

Ask Dudek about the Pens, from where he was standing he must have had a great view, about 3 yards off his line each time !!

[MbrunoB]

Bitter?

[Ian_W]

Larger?

[coupwotcoup]

...and twisted. If the result had gone the other way can you imagine the furore on Five Live and talkSPORT, giving it large about video replays. Of course that is all conveniently forgotten once an English club wins.

At the end of the day you need to be good and you need luck. Simple as that, plus when we beat AFC HX in at least one cup final next season with a crowd of over 1,000 plus!!! I'm lovin' it!

[Uncle Urchin]

I suppose the possibility exists that we may let you win one out of 5/6...don't hold yur hopes up to high though...

 

we're a real bunch of glory hunters down at the ol' stadium... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Johnny the Horse]

Just a thought on the subject of video replays.

 

Chevchenko was ruled offside when his goal was disallowed, but the ball was played back by a Liverpool defender, not one of his team mates. There were no complaints and no deluge of replays, but would Liverpool have come back if it had been 4-0 at halftime?

[The Invisible Man]

No, because they would have lost 4-3.

 

Did the scouse defender actually play the ball back to Shev or did it just hit him? I must admit I didn't see that, I thought he was offside (pity).

 

Pity also that the ref didn't spot the lino flagging furiously for offside before the scousers scored their second.

[Uncle Urchin]

don't be a grumpy spurs supporter Vis.....it was an ENGLISH victory...who fckn cares who was or wasn't offside....

 

its football man.....its a lottery.... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

 

and long may it continue to be so.....
