ChristianTroy Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 In all seriousness, I think it is practical to say that as you have mentioned, they are never even close anymore! Winning the CL is a valid way to get huge cash with only a couple of games! The cash can be well spent on good players and maybe one day they have a shot again, even when I think that ManU is just too good right now! R. Giggs is the absolute super hero for me, this guy is around forever and he is still the MVP for ManU (IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibblies Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Meh. I blame Chelsea for that. Liverpool's 2005 game against Milan was by common agreement the most exciting CL final ever and the 2006 FA Cup final against West Ham was perhaps the most exciting final there too. Liverpool played well against Arsenal (4-1) and Man U (where they dominated the game but fell to a last minute lucky sucker punch goal). It's just the Chelsea games that are dull. In the last semi-final, Liverpool were in a very difficult position, having to score but knowing that conceding even one goal against such a good defensive side would leave them an almost impossible task. So I blame Chelsea - who had every reason to attack (they had the safety cushion so should have gone out to score to kill the game but hardly attacked). The Chelsea-ManU matches tend to underwhelm too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Got to agree with you on the 2006 FA Cup Final, the best one I remember seeing in my lifetime. I was not agreeing fully with Jorge Valdano but the comment "a shit hanging from a stick" made me burst out laughing in the office this lunchtime when I read it. I would be interested to know what the actual Portuguese phrase is and the real translation since this is obvisously a direct transliteration.

bibblies Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Don't remember. Only home league and European games count anyway. Remind me who Arsenal went out of the CL to this season? It surely can't have been the team we then wiped the floor with 3-0 away... :smirk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool's 2005 game against Milan was by common agreement the most exciting CL final ever and the 2006 FA Cup final against West Ham was perhaps the most exciting final there too. Not to mention the 2001 UEFA Cup Final against Alaves which we won 5-4, three of the best ever finals and people call us boring. Just petty fecking jealousy if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they pulled another one of those typical for this season games where they were the better team but didn't score. Funnily enough during those other 3 games vs Liverpool they didn't have that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibblies Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 "Those other 3 games vs Liverpool"? I wasn't aware that you'd ever faced us in Europe. The only English team I can remember us facing in Europe and losing to are Nottingham Forest.* *And, let's face it, in European terms, you're no Nottingham Forest.
