ROFL good one Hugh, KWALITY :-)
Many believe that gloating over Manchester United’s Champions League elimination is not the Liverpool Way, this is true however reminding the world about our proud history is.
We have officially outlasted Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United in Europe this year, yes we could be eliminated tonight but this very moment they are out of Europe and we are in, and that is a FACT.
What really ticks me off is that when we won the Champions Cup in 2005 and when we were finalists in 2007 they (all those poor lost souls who do not support Liverpool) downplayed our achievement and taunted us on the fact that we had not won the League in many years. Winning the Champions League five times is not an easy feat, ask Roman who has spent millions on Chelsea with the hope of lifting the Cup. Manchester City have also spent millions and a big achievement for them would be to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in their history.
We did not make it past the group stage this year, suddenly the Champions League became a big deal again and they taunted us for playing Thursday night football. “You are playing in the Mickey Mouse cup” they claimed, I wonder how many of them would rather be watching their respective teams play tonight then not playing at all?
And yes we are having a horrible season, but even in our darkest hours we are able to lift our heads up high and sing at the top of our voice “In Istanbul we won it five times“.

This was an excellent post, very motivating and inspiring :)
I posted that photo not to gloat but more to make a point. Alot of UTD fans have said to me that Sir Alec has won the CL twice in his career which is no mean feat to be sure, but it took a long time for him to get his first one and a long time to get the second one too. Liverpool have won this cup five glorious times and while its been a long time since they won the league the ability to win the CL shows that the club is still a big club and also shows that Rafa has the ability to bring glory days to the club again.
After all, how long did it take Alec Ferguson to win his first bit of silverware?
YES……you tell em Antoine, they’re just jealous and envious lot!!!!!!!!!!!YNWA.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A FACT! Brilliant post. YNWA Antoine. And Hugh, YNWA as well. :)
I was watching the United Bayern match last night and had tokeep adjusting the volume on the TV as I could hear nothing….that is until the bayern fans got too loud. United “Tourists” really only sing when they’re winning and not when they’re needed. poor lost souls indeed.
Liverpool have a proud history in the uefa cup and to win this competition in its new revamp the europa league would make liverpool the most successful team in the history of the uefa cup by winning it 4 times, also we would then be playing the european champions league winners next year for the uefa super cup so there’s massive incentive for our lads tonight.
We can then stick two fingers up at man utd because they may have equalled our league championships but there miles behind when it come’s to europe.
Good luck lads YNWA.
Great talk…………You’ll never walk alone.
