If you're comparing with the lack of atmosphere at places like Emirates and Stamford Bridge where teams play those games with alarming regularity for many years infront of a largely corporate middle class audience, then of course it's more special. However, Stoke in the CL would make for a better atmosphere than the likes of Liverpool or Spurs too, because their knuckle daggers wouldn't have experienced anything like it.
Special nights at Anfield is a proliferated narrative from a media that was infused with a lot of the Liverpool old boys wistfully waxing about their clubs glory days in the 80s before it all went relatively speaking to shit.
Unless playing You'll Never Walk Alone before the game and having fans holding their half half scarves upside down constitutes special. Who knows.
Or maybe actually making so much noise that the ground shakes like in 05 and 07 semis vs Chelsea.
If you've never been to a CL night at Anfield quite frankly you can't say shit. We might not sing 'oh when the reds go marching in' repeatedly but our atmosphere is incredible on the big CL nights.
Anymore "special" than White Hart Lane was against Inter in '11 for example? You dont hear other clubs self fellating themselves about making a bit of noise the way Pool fans do.
Well Spurs only get to experience such an occasion once every 50 years so you were bound to be a bit noisy.
Hey, Suarez said he wanted to experience the famous atmosphere, don't be jealous now that Baledinho didn't stick around for famous Thursday nights against FC Dnipro.
Two posts ago you were comparing Anfield nights to Emirates ones, Arsenal who have been in the competition 16 years in a row and you haven't since 08 (?) . And you're slagging off a competition you weren't even able to qualify for last year!
Do you have any self awareness?
So what? The Europa League is an awful competition to be in. It's left you with Sherwood as manager ffs, look at the state of him.
