Liverpool v Milan in the CL Final, is anyone surprised?

What are you on about? I supported Liverpool last night.

I just think you aren't very good.

You're more interested in Utd failing than your own side winning.

That is true with some of them.

double standards Spanky. This has been the perfect week for me, don't pretend you wouldn't be the same were the roles reversed.

We'll never know

It's exactly the same on either side pip and you know this to be true. I very much doubt any of you lot on Redcafe were backing us last night and it was hardly expected that we do the same tonight.

United have a certain degree of my respect for performances this season, but I wanted you to fall flat on your face before facing us in the final and I'm sure you wanted Chelsea to beat us so you didn't have to contemplate playing Liverpool in the final. Just the way it is.

Been back on this site a day and you'd think that scousers forced everyone here to watch the match last night at knife point. (I'm waiting for it...)

At the end of the day, there's no sense attempting moral highground here after an entire stretford end was belting out 'murderers' and 'won it two times' in a youth cup match.

I wasn't actually talking about yourself or Luis or FG.

More Glenn and CotR.

Of course I didn't want Liverpool to win but I haven't been wumming like some in every thread over the month or so. As long as we win the league I'll be pretty fucking content with what ever else happens, including Liverpool winning the CL and Chelsea winning the FA cup.

As for the last comment I can't be arsed.

I kind of expected it , firstly I didnt expect Man Utd to reach this far keeping in mind challenging for the league and the FA cup , also injuries didnt help , I am happy we have got this far.

Didnt expect Liverpool to win against Chelsea to be honest but really wanted Liverpool to win (mentioned here somewhere) after Mourinho comments.

Anyway hoping for a good final.

Not true. Barca did it last year. Milan reach the final in 2005 and where fighting for the title, same in 2003. Real where fighting for the title and won the CL in 98, 2000 and 2002. Bayern where fighting for the title and won the CL in 2001. Not to mention the 90's when Juve and Milan where playing CL finals and fighting for the title at the same time. So it's not that hard.

Don't Forget the Ajax supremacy in the second part of the 90's. Winners in 95, Vice Champions in 96 and semi finalists in 97.... They also were dominating the Eredivisie.

Yes, and Porto did it too or Leverkusen in one year (reach the final and finished second in the league). Winning both is also about luck. But you can fight to win both, no question there.

@Gone

I agree!

I thought about to mention Porto as well but skipped it in my thread....

Or, more so, when Juventus reached the 96/97/98 finals, winning the league in 95/97/98, and when winning the Champions League was more meaningful IMO, as a limited team could never reach the final with negative tactics.
