Fucking hell, I know they did well and fair play to them, but the BBC Football front page has 11 separate articles about this one game.
It was only 8 this morning...

Yep heard the term 'European Royalty' used again today - horrible term, horrible club.Yeah yeah great perfoamcne blah blah. And it was, notwithstanding Barca were pathetic and gutless.
But as ever it’s the reaction. It’s the fans. its the media. The utter lack of humility. The utter lack of self awareness.
I can't stand them. Apart from one of two long liverpool fans, I can't remember when I saw someone saying a word about them in last 20 years over here.. suddenly, all those ****s who watch 3 football games in a decade trying to preach me about their love and sympathies for Liverpool and shitting at City.. Absolutely no difference between them and Rags. These are probably even worse.
What is it Pep says, 'if you dont run, you sit next to me on the bench'. I watched about half of the game yesterday and couldnt believe how slow and utterly lacking in intensity Barca were. If your team relies totally on one individual, there will be times he lets you down. Last night was one of those times.Messi is 32 and has played 868 professional games. Even if the team wanted him to be running around (they don't) he doesn't have the legs to do it anymore.
He's got 48 goals and 22 assists this season, that's over half their goals, and the other half he mostly creates. He literally carries them in 50% of the game, all the other 10 players have to do is defend competently and he will win them the games.
The idea he let them down is complete and utter horseshit, and the idea he let them down because he didn't run enough, is the kind of thing you'd expect Dyche or Pulis to come up with, it belongs in 1970's lower league football. The reality is, after he dragged them kicking and screaming into a 3 goal lead last week, his teammates let him down.
That is an overly harsh assessment of an outstanding footballerhe had plenty of opportunity to go elsewhere but chose the safe option of staying at a club he won the lot with, as good as he is he's a wimp imo. Needed to prove himself abroad out of his comfort zone.
They even mentioned it on Newsnight last night after Brexit and May. Just when you think " a bit of politics to get my mind of it".Against my better judgement I checked out the Daily Mail football website. There are 44 (yes, forty four) articles on Liverpool and the miracle of Klanfield. It was a great achievement all right but 44? Spurs' game against Ajax comes below all of these.
But he's never done it in the Turkish league so he can't be that good..........He’s doesn’t need to prove himself to no one.
Will go down as the greatest of all time.
You were indeed correctI don't want to boast, but I posted on here yesterday "Prepare for 'The Miracle of Anfield' ". I feared the orgasmic media reaction, and I was right.
Entitled, over-exaggerated sense of self importance, only important because of history and wages paid by sponging off the tax payer. The dippers and royalty have more in common than might initially appear.Yep heard the term 'European Royalty' used again today - horrible term, horrible club.

But then they've still got the Jermaine Pennant money to fall back on......I will be glad when that Coutinho money runs out for them.
Absolutely. I've said it before, but most of their team and even their manager (despite his blaming of the wind and grass) are actually fairly likable professionals. I mean Salah dives a bit and Mane's got a bit of a nasty side, but they're no worse than plenty of other players. So it's quite an achievement for them to be so disliked despite this, and that comes down to the sycophantic and obviously biased media that everyone is sick of, and their fans, who crawl out from under a rock every 5 years when it looks like they might be about to win something and then disappear when they go back down to 5th or 6th.They even mentioned it on Newsnight last night after Brexit and May.

Whatever about disliking Klopp or the team or hating their fans cult-like party-line brainwash regarding us,.
It's the media overdrive and their pundits everywhere that really gets to me.
Why do we always have some ex-Liverpool player on for all our games. You can't avoid them. Carragher, Beglin, Owen, Fowler, Souness.
No matter what channel you go to you'll end up with one of them.
I'd rather stream a Portugese or Croatian channel or NBCSN, TSN or Ten Sport or anything else at all.
What does 'European Royalty' even mean?
They're in denial that they've paid a King's ransom to even compete when their manager said he wouldn't?
They ponce around like a bunch of entitled Princesses?
They arrogantly believe everyone should prostrate themselves before LFC as they do the Queen?
They're 'not amused' by any other team who has the audacity to win something instead of them?
Or is it because their fans are a right royal bunch of up themselves, cultish cretins?
