United Squad: Weakest in Years?

Exactly.

 

Agreeing with everyone else apart from the deluded Liverpool supporters who are yet to realise that their team can dare to play only on backfoot even on their own backyard.

 

Your INVICIBLES were INVSIBLE in the CL the next season.

 

On such a high horse its comical. Any ideas when you will next win something?

 

Arse4life...your European Cup argument is such a good one and I bow down to your teams vastly superior European record

How did you do in the cup competitions that year? Oh yeah, didn't get close in any.

Invincible my arse, we lost less games than you did in that season in 1999 and also happend to win three ****ing massive trophies.

 

You are making up arguments now as no one has claimed that in this thread you ****ing tool.

Before you go calling someone delusional maybe you should look at the real meaning. Look up schizophrenia while you're at it too.

 

I used to be a delusional schizo...oh no I didn't...oh yes I ****ing did

 

Its been a while but every now and again this tale needs recounting.

The year is 2007 and little bluenose Duncan is talking to his bluenose Dad.

SON “Dad, my mates in school told me that Liverpool won the European Cup for the 5th time in 2005 – are they right dad?

DAD “Yes son, it’s true, but they were dead lucky son, all the way through the tournament”

SON “Why dad?”
DAD “Well in the group stages …..”
SON “What dad, did they have a team from Azerbaijan, Israel, and Ireland in their group?”
DAD “Well no, they had Monaco, Deportivo la Coruna, and Olympiakos”
SON “Well they still sound like 3 easy teams to me dad”
DAD “Actually Monaco reached the final the year before, Olympiakos had won their league 7 times out of the previous 8 seasons, and Deportivo finished above the galacticos of Real Madrid in their league”.
SON “Jeez dad, that sounds like quite a difficult group then”.
DAD “yeh I suppose your right son, but they were still lucky – it took a mi**** shot by Gerrard against Olympiakos to get through”.
SON “oh is that the goal were your hero Andy Gray goes berserk shouting “you beauty, you beauty, what a hit son, what a hit!!!!”
DAD “yes son it is”
SON “oh ok. Well what happened in the last 16 dad, who did they draw?”
DAD “Bayer Leverkusen”
SON “Bayer who?”
DAD “Exactly son, but they had beaten Real Madrid 3-0 at home, and won their group that included Dinamo Kiev and Roma too.”
SON “bloody hell dad, they sound good”.
DAD “yes, I suppose you’re right son”
SON “so did they win on away goals or something”
DAD ”errrrr, no, they won both legs 3-1 each”
SON “oh – well who next then dad”
DAD “Juventus”
SON “How the f#ck did they get past them Dad?”
DAD “Well they did – they won 2-1 at home, and cruised to a 0-0 away draw without Juve having hardly any chances”.
SON “were Juve sh#t at that time – had all their decent players gone or something?”
DAD “well actually they still had players like Del Piero, Nedved, Ibrahimovic, Thuram, and Buffon in the side. And they won Serie A a few weeks later.”
SON “wow, they beat the Italian champions elect – which piss easy team did they get in the semi then?”
DAD “Chelsea”
SON “Chelsea – for f#cks sake – what a piss easy draw – they’ve won nothing, Everton have won more than them”.
DAD “well that season they won the Premiership and League Cup but the Reds didn’t let them score in 180 minutes of football”
SON “Jesus Christ – so Liverpool beat the English Champions elect too”
DAD “yes son, they bloody well did”.
SON “so after all that I suppose all the good teams had been knocked out”
DAD “not quite son, AC Milan awaited them in the final”
SON “no way – aren’t they the 2nd most successful team in the competition’s history”.
DAD “yes son they are”
SON “so were Liverpool lucky because Milan had all their good players out with injuries”
DAD “no – they had Shevchenko, Crespo, Maldini, Nesta, Cafu, Kaka, Stam, Dida, Gattuso, Pirlo, and Seedorf”.
SON “your ‘avin a laff”
DAD “it gets worse son, Milan were cruising 3-0 up at half-time”.
SON “what happened, did they have 3 men sent off in the second half – how did Liverpool get back into the game?”
DAD “no, Milan had no men sent off, the Reds scored 3 goals in 6 minutes”
SON “against the best defence in Europe”
DAD “yes!!!, against the best defence in Europe”
SON “so what happened next - extra time?”
DAD “yes son, and Dudek made the luckiest save ever to stop a Shevchenko shot from a yard”
SON “why was it lucky dad – did it hit him on the arse, nose, shoulder or something”
DAD “no son, his hand”
SON “well aren’t goalies meant to save shots with their hands”
DAD “yeah but that’s besides the point”
SON “then what”
DAD “penalties!”
SON “English teams are crap at penalties”
DAD “not this f#ckin time they weren’t – they only missed one. And that’s how Liverpool became the luckiest team to win the European Cup”.
SON “but I bet when they brought the cup home there was hardly anyone to watch as all Liverpool fans live anywhere but Liverpool you say. How many was there, 5,,000 or so?”
DAD “1 million people lined the streets”.
SON ”so let’s get this straight dad – Liverpool had 3 good teams in their group, they then knocked out a team who had beaten Real Madrid 3-0, they then knocked out the future Serie A champions, then knocked out the future Premiership champions, before coming back from 3-0 down to beat the 2nd most successful club in Europe. And then the whole population of Liverpool came out to welcome them home!!!!
DAD “that about sums it up son”
SON “dad?”
DAD “yes son”
SON “why do they call us bitter dad?”

 

Always worth telling again that one TT

 

I too remember it 1st time around on BBC606.

 

Exactly but sometimes it is the perfect thing for knobheads that claim the win was a fluke.

 

Saying it was a fluke is his way of saying hes jealous as **** his club will never win it.

Still it was a good enough excuse to see your masterpiece tt.

 

It wasn't you was it?

 

No it was you tt.

 

.

 

What the **** are we on about?

 

Being on bbc606

 

Oh in that case i'll own up then.

Yep it was me.
