    I am disappointed we didn't win the league, but fcuk me, I would take Champions of Europe over English premier division ANY DAY.

    Liverpool aren’t even the champions of their own league never mind champions of Europe.

    My point being shouting for six.

    I was alive for them all. Can I be happy we are now 6 (six) times champions of Europe?

    Shouting :D One sentence on a forum stating a fact isn't shouting to me but whatever floats your boat, have a good night, I'll celebrate Pool being champions of Europe again.

    Spurs fan here. Very average game. Penalty they are now given and refs have been consistent on it....Man city v spurs rose handball + man utd v PSG - I personally don't agree with it but that's how it's done now. Liverpool kept spurs at arms length and Allison made a couple of decent saves when needed.

    My main take away is that was a missed opportunity for spurs due to the fact Liverpool were very average unlike they have been for the whole of the season.

    just because uefa call it the ‘champions’ league doesn’t make it so. Neither team have been champion of their own league in I think 50 and 30 years respectively. It’s a knock out cup competition. It’s a nice to have rather than a must have.

    The premier league for me and I suspect all Liverpool fans every time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,285 ✭✭✭fyfe79


    Stop with this nonsense please.

    Fair play sir, you're one of the better posters on here. Always willing to call out bullsh!t even when it doesn't involve your club. Makes me wish for better luck for Everton next season!

    Firstly it was really nice to commemorate Reyes at the start. I know it seems like protocol and all that but its still really nice and makes you remember this is just a game.

    Secondly Congrats to Spurs they done brilliantly and its awful to have done such a good run and to not win it. They were probably the better team in all but finishing tonight. Hopefully this isnt just a flash for them and they come back stronger for it.

    And lastly this is F all about United City or anyone else. Liverpool are European Champions and deserve it from the season they have had. Top class side with a Manager and team profile all at the right age. For the first time in years we have a side with top class players, who dont look like they want to go somewhere else. I really believe we can push on now.

    YNWA fellow reds

    It's what the teams in Europe subscribe to, you'll have to do some word magic to describe the winners of the champions league as anything but champions of Europe.

    It’s not a league of champions.

    I get your point, btw. The only wins I remember are tonight and 2005 - the others don't mean much to me, tbf - just nice as a reference point is all.

    Much like the whole Utd (20) vs Pool (18) debate. In all honesty I just remember the 1990 title win and about 10 Utd wins, so they're well ahead in my lifetime.

    It's complicated. Changed on other forums it's less complicated to do so though.

    One hell of a consolation though!

    The poorest European final I've witnessed it has to be said. Origi's goal was the best thing about the football but even that paled into insignificance when cast against the good looking streaker, which will be everyone's abiding memory. The hands down highlight was a woman swimming gear.

    The rest was downright dour. The game was effectively decided by a penalty that wouldn't be given 9 put of 10 times inside the first minute. Neither team showed anything of the class they had throughout the rest of the competition or season in general.

    Spurs were out tacticed by a team with no tactical function whatsoever. They had nearly 70% of the ball and never looked like they knew what to do with it. The biggest surprise was that they managed any shots on target to speak of nevermind having 8 of them.

    I've openly praised both of these teams here recently and I have to say this was about as disappointing as it gets in football as a neutral.

    The only club match I remember that bored me more was Man Utd v Chelsea in 2013 when Mourinho decided to play for a draw away to David Moyes' headless chicken brigade.

    I'm actually livid that I wasted my time watching that utter dross.

    Still glad Liverpool won it though. They definitely deserved something from the season even if the UCL was a secondary goal. They might not have been the better team on the night but overall, they were the most deserving so hats off.

    I dont think you know what the word League means

    A lot of people bitch about Pool fans and not wanting to listen to our **** if we win something. But really its people like yourself that make pool fans celebrate so much. I mean do any of your comments even make you feel better? Like saying that Liverpool winning the Champions league means nothing because they arent champions of England. I mean ffs your bringing it on yourself.

    Did you at least enjoy Spurs being the best team in London ;)

    When Ireland play like Liverpool did tonight they get slagged off endlessly on here. Liverpool booted the ball long all night safe in their minds that Spurs wouldn’t have the quality or belief to lay a glove on them. That late last gasp goal for Spurs v Ajax robbed us neutrals of a possibly decent Final.

    LOL!!!!!!!!!!

    Christ, trying to belittle Liverpool winning the CL because they didn't win the league...how petty do you have to be lads. I'm ****ing disgusted to have lost it, but get over yourselves and just give them the credit they deserve for winning it.

    Your fans have been brilliant


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,424 ✭✭✭.G.


    I absolutely hate Jose Mourinho but he's absolutely spot on, finals aren't for performing in, they're for winning. Harsh on spurs who gave me many heart attacks but we've been there an done it and these lads deserved every bit of tonight.

    Champions of Europe, accept it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,569 ✭✭✭mugsymugsy


    I know origi got another goal but looking back at the penalty do we really want them given going forward.

    Yes arm not in natural position but no intention and appears to come of chest first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,120 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    As a neutral - Awful game to watch. On the night Spurs were the better side I thought and deserved more but given the events over the entire season I'm happy that Liverpool won it as while poor tonight they generally have been excellent this season.

    Spurs the better side?

    I don't know. Never looked remotely like doing anything. Smothered almost.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,424 ✭✭✭.G.


    And I've had a great time out here with Spurs fans, credit to their club, with others there'd be no chance of that, too salty to show grace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,976 ✭✭✭✭8-10


    Top marks to the Spurs fans in Madrid

    But **** me what a night for us. Just took a break from some random square where we’ve been singing for an hour

    I’m 3 sheets

    Allez Allez AlleZ

    How many handballs are actually intentional? Very very few.
