Liverpool finish 5th or 4th and win the CL?

Mr Alan · 13-02-2008 06:53PM #1

Just thinking about this today....

if Liverpool finish 4th and win the CL, i would class that as a super season, the CL being the biggest trophy in club football.

granted, league finishing place would be a disappointment though. (although i'm kinda of the opinion, that first is first, 2nd is nothing when it comes to the league)

BUT!

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?

Shouldn't this be in the Liverpool thread ? What exactly are the options ?

A) Finish 4th and dont win anything in Europe

Finiah 5th and win champions league

Of course everyone will go with b. Didn't they change the rules recently so that the winner of the CL automatically qualifies the following year ?

I think he's asking,

Would Liverpool fans rather finish
4th and win the CL
OR
5th and win the CL
thereby taking Evertons CL spot.

Personally I'd prefer what I feel is the right option,
finish 5th, win the CL, and don't get into the CL, but that's a whole other debate

Mr Alan · 13-02-2008 06:59PM

thats exactly wat i'm asking PHB.

PiE · 13-02-2008 07:03PM

Eh I'd rather beat them on merit in the league thanks.

finish 5th and win the CL FTW:D ha ha that would great:D:D:D

If we win the CL I have not a care in the world where we end up in the league.

no. 2nd would be progression. major progression.

what are you 12? could personally give a flying fcuk about everton tbh. they havent been on our radar since 1980-something, except in 2005. the day i'm happy about finishing below everton or anyone in the league is the day i stop following the team.

so to answer the orignal question, i'll be happy when we win the league, the champions league, the fa cup, the league cup, the super cup, the mars bar cup, the charity shield, the lot.

ps. i'll settle for the league though

~Rebel~ · 13-02-2008 07:15PM

I mistook it, though it meant come 4th, or come 5th and in CL.

I voted for the second (the first option on the poll), but if we win the CL either way, i'd prefer we came 4th as well. Its already a bad season, finishing as far behind the top 3 as we would need to to finish 5th would be pretty terrible going. At least finishing 4th, we have the possibility of gaining a little ground on the teams we should be amongst. We really shouldn't be down slogging away with everton and pompey etc etc

Because you know you won't win the league. If Liverpool were top now or in serious contention you wouldn't be saying that.

Tusky · 13-02-2008 08:10PM

Well if thats the case, 4th and the champions league, obviously.

Yeah, correct. So? We can't get relegated now. And we can't win. So if we win the CL we get into it for next year. So if someone says "you get to win the CL and..." my brain shuts off at that point because the rest is irrelevant.

Daysha · 13-02-2008 09:07PM

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

More babble from Mr Alan! You've been banging on all season long in the Liverpool thread how winning the league would be nice but the most important thing is to CHALLENGE for it. Now you're dismissing a whole seasons worth of opinions and have performed a complete U-Turn by stating that 1st is all that matters, anything else doesn't matter!

You're a gas man Mr Alan.

Mr Alan · 13-02-2008 09:53PM

not as gas as you Pighead.

Yes i feel it is important for Liverpool to challenge for the title this season, but that doesnt really look too possible now does it?

So you change opinions when your original opinion isn't working out anymore. Fair enough I'll fix your original quote so.

The Volt · 13-02-2008 10:56PM

I think the very fact that this thread exists means that Liverpool fans acknowedge the blue threat

patmac · 13-02-2008 11:27PM

If Liverpool fans think it's a two horse race for 4th place between the clubs across from Stanley Park then they have another thing coming

Mr Alan · 14-02-2008 12:56AM

jaysus folks, get your knickers out of their twists!

of course Liverpool fans should acknoledge Everton as a threat, and City and Villa.

Liverpool finish 5th or 4th and win the CL?
