Liverpool Back On Form... And Off To Istanbul

uwwedoogie · May 3, 2005

May 1984: Rome: Liverpool are crowned European Champions for the record (for an English club) 4th Time...

1989/1990: Liverpool win the old Division One this being the last (to date) that they would win the top divison...

1992/95: Defeat Sunderland for the FA Cup/Bolton for the Coca-Cola Cup...

In 5 years that is very dissapointing for the team that ruled both England and Europe in the 70's and 80's...

Late 90's: Becomes common for Liverpool to finish mid/top table...

2001: Some pride is found when they win 5 honours in 6 months... (FA Cup, Worthinghton Cup, Uefa Cup, Charity Shield, Super Cup)

2004/2005: Gerard Houilier is sacked as Reds manager and Valencia coach Rafa Benitez takes charge... he begins by selling Kop King Michael Owen for a meer £8m with exchange of Antonio Nunez (who is shocking) to Real Madrid... he makes up for it with signings of Xabi Alonso, Luis Garcia & Fernado Morientes...

Early 2005: In Carling Cup Final, out of FA Cup, forth place is best we can finish...

March 2005: Chelsea start the run for their treble by beating Liverpool at Cardiff for the CArling Cup...

April/May 2005: Chelsea defeat Bolton to grab part 2 of 3 winning the league... however all dreams are smashed, revenge of Cardiff is carried out when Liverpool beat Chelsea in the Champions League Semi Final in front of the Kop... and off to Istanbul we go... it's been a while but after watching them tonight... its the European Cup for Rafa's first year (Yes, I'm confident) and then Jose we're coming after the league...

I predict that Liverpool will be shut out against AC Milan.

This final is going to be a blowout.

uwwedoogie · May 3, 2005

Alonso'll be back so you'll see... trust me you'll see!

Mullen4Prez · May 3, 2005

come on Ac Milan!

*BOOMCHAA!* · May 3, 2005

NOOOOO.

LIVERPOOL ALL THE WAY!!!
:heart:

DaveC · May 3, 2005

Good luck not getting picked apart by Shevchenko.

and actually scoring a goal.

Jizzer, you're are narrow-minded. I have good taste :wink:

Chizip · May 3, 2005

you just like looking at soccer guys

but i love it when you call me jizzer :drool:

timothius · May 3, 2005

Truly a great win for my Reds! That goal will be debated for the ages (at least until Friday...).

I truly don't follow them as much as I should... Now I wanna play CM :drool:

randhail · May 3, 2005

Great win by the Reds. They are the masters of the "bend but don't break" philosophy. I see them getting a first half goal against Milan and holding on for dear life in the 2nd half and raising the Cup at the end of the match... Now if they only could get their act together and jump past Everton to claim the last champions spot for next season.

Anyone else think Michael Owen is regretting his decision to flee Anfield for a "chance for success in Europe down in Madrid?" He might be the Nomar Garciaparra of soccer.

:lol:

Only a virtual goal could defeat the undefeatable master of the game, aka José Mourinho.

Since you can't have the same luck and referee in the final, the cup will go naturally to ACM, and Rui Costa will score to revenge his friends.

Would this be the same ref that gave Chelsea over 6 minutes of injury time in the 2nd half? If a virtual goal can defeat the undefeatable master, that doesn't speak to highly of his skills now does it? Liverpool was better on this day, tis the nature of sports.

Mourinho is a tool.

PSV 2 - Milan 0 in the 79th minute. :ohmy:

Vorsprung · May 4, 2005

FUCK FUCK %^&*^&*@#$!!!!!!!!

1stepcloser · May 4, 2005

PSV 3-1 Milan

milan score in the last minute and go through on the away goal rule. bastards. they didn't deserve to go through at all.

Vorsprung · May 4, 2005

^ That's what I said....only a bit less emotional..... :wink:

1stepcloser · May 4, 2005

Cocu's goal at the end was ace though. PSV played better in both legs, yet they haven't gone through. gonna be a boring final now

I used that exact phrase watching the game with a scouse friend. Oh the puzzled look I got.....................................

U2@NYC · May 6, 2005

When in the final match? I will happen to be in Istanbul in two weeks for work :hyper:

uwwedoogie · May 6, 2005

May 25th... 3 weeks...

AC are going down...

and to bedouin fire if Chelsea are so great they would have at least scored in one leg...

but no hard feelings... well done in the Carling Cup...shame about the champions league... HA HA!!!

look if you want me to shut up just give a little ssshhhh!!!

:wink:

Mullen4Prez · May 7, 2005

AC Milan

I find it astonishing that such a poor team (and I mean POOR) has made the european cup final. It makes no sense how a team in 5th in the premiership, 30 points or so off chelsea can make it into the last 2 teams in Europe. Maybe Football isnt as strong as it used to be around europe.

1stepcloser · May 7, 2005

Liverpools defense was watertight in both the last 2 rounds. the fact that against Juve and Chelsea they only scored one goal in each game says it all. it says it all for their style of football as well :yawn:

you're right, they were not so strong as i was expecting.

nevertheless they scored so much as liverpool. the only difference was that the ref from the second leg counted a fake goal as a real one.

^ sorry can't talk I'm off to Istanbul...
