    I find it strange that Trent didn't do a post match interview. Mo, VVD, Gakpo, Robertson & Alexis all did one. But Trent is a local lad and didn't.

    I aboslutely love the fact that Arne Sang Jurgen Klopps name after the game just like Klopp did Arne's 12 months ago. Massive respect.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 839 ✭✭✭Dan Steely


    That was nice, giving Klopp the recognition he deserves. Should be the end of it now though.

    As a UTD supporter all my life, hate to see ye win it, really do...

    Ye as fans are quite fantastic tho.

    We played at Anfield a few years ago, and I won't forget the game watching it, UTD vs Pool, biggest game of the season because who doesn't love a rivalry.

    Ronaldo's young lad had died the week in to it so he couldn't make it.

    You up 1-0, Your whole stadium on the 7th minute mark singing "you'll never walk alone"....touch of pure class.

    Enjoy the title this year.

    Worthy winners.

    Hopefully we build on at UTD and we get the 2 biggest clubs going at it again.

    (In the meantime, I hope you loose every game between now and this time next season 😅)

    Congratulations are coming in…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,725 ✭✭✭mormank


    I just heard a stat earlier today that goes something like every year a pope has died there has been an English winner of the Champion's league, so it's basically guaranteed they win it. I just stuck money on them 30 minutes ago.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,725 ✭✭✭mormank


    I've given you grief in the past for some of your wild opinions but credit where it's due, you always post some cracking pictures that I for one would not ever have seen were it not for you posting them. So thank you very much for that. 👏

    Agreed.

    Apart from of course him rocking up for the last game of the season and the parade of course. The parade he never got to enjoy when his team, arguably the greatest team the league has ever seen, won the league during covid. That will be special.

    And then moving forward while he is not an active rival manger, like in his current role, I see no reason why he can't be around for any future successes just like we often see Kenny and other legends in the stands for games or for special occasions.

    I'm too young to remember Shankly or Paisley but from what I've read and heard/watched Shankly rejuvenated this club from the sleeping giant it was and brought us back to the top of the tree and then Paisley really dominated the league and Europe during his tenure. Klopp is my generation's Shankly and I'm just hoping Slot can be my generation's Paisley too and he is off to a flyer!

    Correct me if I'm wrong here but for our 2 teams being the top 2 teams in the league for league wins I don't believe we have ever been in a genuine title race against eachother. The closest I can think of would when Liverpool came second to Utd back in 2008 or 2009 when Macheda scored THAT goal and Liverpool were never really in that tbh, we were just the next best team after ye that season as opposed to true challengers.

    This is Anfield. They know how to make a video.

    Think it needs a bit of distance though. Let Slott become his own man as Liverpool manager first. Then Jurgen can show up from time to time and say well done, particularly after he's retired.

    Besides the obvious, Slot winning the title at his first attempt after Klopp leaving is huge. The years following a legends departure can be lean, can be a period of little or no trophies. That's been swiftly knocked on the head.

    Not enough videos on the thread…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 839 ✭✭✭Dan Steely


    Where did he rob the stop/go sign?

    Good morning champions



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭Talisman


    Is it morning already? My head hurts and I haven't gone to bed yet. 😎



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭happyoutscan


    This is one day I won't be cursing myself for imbibing.

    Morning lads....

    On the plane home, head intact as I stopped drinking ten years ago (thankfully)! What a day yesterday was. There was a feel about the entire day from early on in the city - sun shining, just a getting that something special was going to happen.

    The atmosphere outside the ground was the best I've ever seen it (well, duh!) and the concourse inside the ground was a joy - "Hand it over, Manchester!". I've been going over for a long time so I took a walk around the entire stadium beforehand, remembering parts of the ground that are no longer there (a little office where I used to buy old programmes when I was a teenager) and remembered some people that I'd been to matches with that are no longer around either. It was just a very emotional day throughout.

    The match was a joy. Wonderful atmosphere. At no stage did it feel like there was any danger. It was a case of how many we'd score. Mac Allister was MOTM by some distance - phenomenal.

    The match itself felt like something to be gotten out of the way funnily enough because everyone just wanted to party. Once the final whistle went, it all felt wonderfully natural, not choreographed - I've seen City give fans flag to wave etc. Two balloon replicas of the PL trophy floated across the pitch ten minutes from the end, both burst by Spurs players - the closest they'll get to a PL trophy, bless them. 😉

    Anyway, I've been posting here since the Hicks/Gillett days and there have been some highs and serious lows since, but yesterday was the most beautiful day at every level. What a joy to be a Red.

    The Anfield Wrap lads said on their podcast yesterday afternoon that it felt like your wedding day which I thought was right

    You all have to get to the church on time and there's loads of prep - and there's a tiny thought at the back of your mind that the bride won't show up (i.e. risk that Spurs win) but you just know she will anyway and the church part is just the formal thing that everybody knows you have to get through so everybody can have a big party after



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭Talisman


    Football without the fans is nothing …



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 983 ✭✭✭JPup


    No. You’re right. The two dominant teams in England since the Busby babes emerged in the late 50s and there has never been a genuine title race between us.

    I’d say the closest was during the Evans years when it did briefly feel like we had a chance - although maybe that was because I was younger then. I can’t ever remember thinking we had a real shot at winning it under Benitez. United’s squad was exceptional back then.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,898 ✭✭✭✭8-10


    I think 2009 was a genuine title race. It just didn't seem like it because of the gulf in quality, they were significantly better than us on paper. But a couple of draws into wins and Macheda not being a thing, we would have been right there

    Always remember the away win at Portsmouth 3-2 with Torres in injury time. That was a very fun season

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,830 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    Sure Slot himself said that even after conceding there wasn't anyone in the stadium who feared we were losing the game. It was a formality, in part thanks to our opponent being Spurs lol



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭Talisman


    Liverpool under Roy Evans used to fall away at the business end of the season. Benitez came a lot closer to winning the league. Had the club signed a more suitable player than Robbie Keane, they would more than likely have won the league in 2009.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,766 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Is there some rule or etiquette behind why the Premier League couldn't have the trophy on stand by last night ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,031 ✭✭✭✭McDermotX


    Just traditional that the club get the trophy on their last home game of the season, unless it's still in the balance on the final day etc.

    Best way of allowing home fans to celebrate as opposed to a scenario in having it presented on the final weekend and you could be away.

    Excuse for another bash next month anyway.
