we won't win the champions league this year

[Tom]

Tom, was it meant to be a referral to your Westham prediction post?

exactly, and every other final we've played in the last few years.

Don't take it too seriously Tom.

Yeah, jeez I go away for a few months and they let all sorts in. What's the world coming to eh?
I propose a "gold club" so oldies like me can engage in gentle conversation without being bullied by ex-inmates of the "zoo".

But seriously It was a pessimistic jokey type of post, the type of which in the past I have posted many times.

Interestingly the overreaction to it makes me suspect i've touched a nerve. Just a hunch like.

I'm sure I remember you doing the same thing prior to the FA Cup final, you little minx!

[enema of the state]

you posted a very similar thread on kt in 2005 and it didnt pan out like you called it.

you have always been excessively pessimistic - i gave it up as the protection mechanism it was for me, many years ago

can i give you an optimists view:

Reason 1
We wont get past chelski, because:


i) they owe us one for the last semi.
ii) it's maureen's last season, and the players are doing it for him.
iii) at some point all that money has got to pay off.

we will get past chelsea because
1) we beat them in a semi every year
2)it's maureen's last season, and the players are doing it for him.- yet we still beat them in the league when we never have before and outplayed them in the 1-0 defeat.
3)at some point all that money has got to pay off but it has already happened and abramovic's millions will count AGAINST chelski come the semi
4)lfc do substantially better with a euro refereee than with ANY of the premiership goons who consistently favour the chavs/mancs

Reason 2
if we do get to the final, we'll loose to the mancs, because:

i) they always beat us in big finals.
ii) it's fergie's last season, and the players are doing it for him.
iii) it's the 40th anniversary of their first european cup, this year they are the team of destiny.
iv) after their huge victory last night they have the big mo, they are the team of destiny.
v) they're a better team than us.


I can feel it in me waters.

if we do get to the final, we WONT loose to the mancs, because:

1)they wont be there
2)they had their greatest ever european night yesterday and theres another team from the bavaria region who might just fancy another little helping of revenge in their way
3)they can stick their "team of detiny up their arse"

stand by for number 6

[Helios Creed]

Not at all. It's great to have the old fella back!

BAN THIS SICK FILTH!

:Wipes spittle from screen:

[TheStig]

at last somebody with a memory longer than a gold fish.

And you said we'd lose to who ever we were playing in the CL Quals this season too .

[Red_Polo]

And Benfica last season!

Apart from the fact that they first won it in 1968 - 39 years ago, not 40 - and Ferguson has said it won't be his last season - not forgetting that we beat them in the League Cup Final (not a big final in your view perhaps) - thanks for your views. I would have watched the game, but your forensic examination of the likely outcome makes it clear that I'd be wasting my time. So thanks once again. I won't bother now.

I won't of course disrespect your hagiography by suggesting that even an ageing Milan are too sophisticated for the team given a spanking last weekend by the sleeping giants that are Portsmouth as you obviously know more than I do about football.

I don't understand the reaction, but then, I am a pessimist too

We must be wary of Chelsea, when we knocked them out in 2005 it really hurt them. Do you remember Cole saying how he couldn't watch the final and us winning it was like a kick in the guts because it should have been them? They now have their chance to revenge that hurt.

We must be wary of Manure (assuming they get through) when the key players are fit they are a very very good side. Ronaldo is at the moment playing some of the best football in Europe, whilst the likes of Giggs and Scholes are having wonderful Indian Summers. It also looks like they have that old Manure mental toughness back and they will thrive on the pressure of a one off game.

We are great in Europe partly because we seem to play well against European opposition, playing Manure, and to a lesser extent Chelsea, will be like playing Prem game and so our Euro form will count for nothing.




Having said all that, not all is doom and gloom, I keep reminding myself that AFII's avatar is yet to be wrong this season and that on OUR day we too can beat anyone.

Fingers crossed and as Neil pointed out, lets just enjoy it.

Go Go Super Liverpool

Despite being a member of KT for many a year i've never heard of you before EST. So sue me.

Looked like a usual TOM post to a n00b like me.

[brightred]

How fine is the line between a great season to remember and a totally ****e season you wish you could erase MIB style? A handfull of CL games I would suggest. ****ing anything could happen either way, but which side are we on ffs? Have some faith in our lads, we've turfed Chelsea out before and we're not even certain to face Man Utd. But if we do, then we all know we're a different proposition in Europe. This negative stuff is bollocks, we can ****ing do it and we should be dreaming of number 6, not sick thinking about how others will beat us.
