Liverpool thread

If he was made of chocolate, he'd lick himself to death.

Can't honestly see it. Done nothing to offend me at all so far.

In fact, GDM was there in their main stand and heard a couple of Liverpool fans refer to it as a "lap of dishonour"!

Glad you remembered, mate! Right pair of scallies they were too. Pissed myself when one of them said it, and I remember thinking at the time what I'd do for a season like that for City. How times change :-)

It won't do at all, it just won't do! What we saw was a Liverpool side which looked quite good for the last 15 minutes of the first half taken to pieces by a Seville team which had been ..... taken to pieces by City earlier in the season. What we had been prepared to expect was yet another (?) victory for our old strangers 'istry and tradition. Though these players aren't, this was the team of a thousand great European nights: though these players hadn't taken part in one, this was the club of a thousand (?!) great European comebacks: more importantly, this is the team of the Kop, whose rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" is truly inspirational, flat and out of tune. Liverpool was, yet again, the patriotic choice. Before kick off I was heartily sick of the nauseatingly slushy, sentimental adoration of all things Liverpudlian. It was lucky BT hadn't been able to unearth any scouse virgins to rouse the faithful. Anyway, my family gathered to pray for a Spanish victory, though we stopped short of sacrificing a donkey or lighting a candle.

The first half was an ordeal, but the second half started with a bang and got better. It was splendidly enjoyable. Klopp gave a very good interview before we moved on to the slushy sentimentalism of post-defeat Liverpudlianism. There were the expected moans about the referee, who was a foreigner like Seville's players, about the decisions "which hadn't gone Liverpool's way" and it all culminated in the sickening sight of some adult wimp, in 'pool shirt and scarf, with the tears rolling down his chubby little scouse cheeks. Bless their little (Liverpool) cotton socks.

All that we had witnessed was a match that illustrated one of the great truths of football over the last few years: Spanish teams win European trophies, English teams don't. There isn't any communion with past generations, no invocation of the great and the good of the past will help at all, Liverpool simply are not very good and they won't get any better until they stop living in the past. Truly Liverpool don' make history, they just live in the past. Aided and abetted by the media. Long will it continue.

Can't agree seems a sound bloke to me.

I thought he was very open and honest in his post-match interview last night.

As someone said previously, he was entertaining when he was in the Bundesliga and we saw him occasionally, but now we're seeing on a regular basis, his antics are very irritating.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I still like him.

 

[aguero93:20]

I still like him.

Which in no way excludes you from thinking he's a ****.

With that and not having an issue with refs, I honestly think you may need your eyes testing.

I think that sums my view of him up best.
