    Nothing wrong with parking the open top bus on the goal line in order to win a derby :D

    Man City, Everton, Aston Villa.....yeah fair play for a good season and all. But ultimately Liverpool will finish fourth and the others will be scrapping for a UEFA Cup spot. End of story. It's nice though that you's can talk of a Champions League spot and feel what's it's like to support a big club for a while. That's not bragging cos that's still a sh!t season for Liverpool.

    Eh that is "bragging" if I ever saw it. Its one more reasons why people don't like Liverpool fans tbh.

    i think i would actually prefer for us to finish 5th in the league and win the CL, meaning that if Everton were to finish 4th in the league they still wouldnt get into the Champions league!

    any Liverpool fans agree?

    It's like a school ground in here!!!!!

    Football is a game, you're aware of that?

    MrJoeSoap, i'm sure you're not the only one to bookmark it! :)

    and btw, "that why people dont like Liverpool fans" was a bit harsh!

    i think people just dont like fans of clubs that arent the same as their choice! pretty sure its nothing personal against Liverpool!

    Oh it is...

    I "dislike", for want of a better word, Liverpool fans in general more than United, Arsenal or Chelsea fans. I don't know what specifically it is, and its not every Liverpool fan, but I do. Might be the Everton connection in my house kicking in, or the fact that they are worse than the England fans re: 1966 when it comes to boasting about history whilst consistently underperforming in the league.

    Anyway, don't take it personally.

    History? 2005? 2006?

    Liverpool have a lot to be proud of in the very recent past.

    Anyone that thinks Liverpool have even a chance of winning the Champions League this season is a Nutcase! (I'm a Pool fan by the way, we're just not good enough this year)

    Eh....even i'm not that smug. Nobody on this thread has mentioned winning the league this year


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,132 ✭✭✭x in the city


    Lfc fans seem to think they have a divine right to be in the top of the league and the cl automatically, which is bollocks, I can recall your last 4 wins off the drop of my hat so tbh ye need to get your head out of the gutter as ye are absolute gash all season , i mean for a so called big club.!
    EFC on the other hand never claim to be challenging for a league every season or even about finishing in the top of the table, because we know we have not got the strength to challenge that far.

    Villa and City are having great seasons so it looks like this so called top 4 monopoly is going all pete thong.......

    how bad:rolleyes:

    :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

    i think even rival fans admit that we have as good, if not a better chance than most, in the CL

    Yeah I know, but I'm just twisted and bitter. I supported Liverpool in 2005 and was delighted they won it. When they got there last season I didn't support them.

    I am yes, why do you ask?

    as ye are absolute gash all season , i mean for a so called big club!

    I agree that we have no divine right to be in the top 4.

    But even playing gash, if we win our game in hand (westham at home) we are in the top 4.

    wat does that say about Everton/City/Villa?

    "so called" big club? Liverpool are a big club. If you are in doubt about that, you need your head examined mate.

    Pointless and stupid question tbh. I can't believe some Liverpool "fans" would choose to make a piss-poor league compaign even worse just so they could rub it into the faces of the Evertonians.

    Finish 5th and you don't deserve to be in the Champions League, regardless of if you win it the year before. And being honest any supporters who would want their team to do worse then they already are in the league don't deserve to be supporting a team in the CL

    You see, that's rubbbish. Of course the winners of a cup competition should have the right to defend their trophy. And, like it or not, the "champions" league is just an epic cup competition - nothing else.

    If somebody offered me 8th in the league and a win in the CL I'd snap their arm off. Scratch that, you can tell me we will finish 17th; not win a league game for the rest of the year; but still win the CL - I'd snap your arm off on that deal too!!

    League, smeauge. Winning stuff is all that matters. You see, Utd fans probably have hazy memories of 99. But 2005 is still very prevalant in my thoughts; and last year is downright immediate to me.

    The CL final in 2005 is up there with the Robbie Keane goal in 2002 or McAteer vs Holland in Sep 2001 in terms of the most enjoyment I have ever received from watching a football match. I was on a high for days after it. Finishing third now or closing the points difference isn't going to create the same kind of buzz now is it? :rolleyes:

    Similiarly, the defeat against AC last year ranks down there with Brussels in 97 as the most devastated I've been after a game of football.

    That's why we love sport, the big occassion. And I'm not going to apologise for that. For the rest of the Liverpool's season, the CL and FA Cup is the priority. **** the league. I don't care.

    ??? I supported them on the night in Istanbul, nothing else. I'm a Shelbourne/Southampton fan.

    Same way I supported Everton in the 1995 Cup Final and last night against Brann.

    We don't have a divine right, no. But we expect to be there because Liverpool are bigger than Everton, Villa, City etc and should be finishing above that lot. But of course it has to be earned by getting more points.
