Sissoko and Son have both played in huge finals too. Son even more so considering military service was on the line.
True. But it's very different to a Champions League final, especially one where there is such a long run in.

Hopefully Poch has got his calls right with regard to preparation and training over the last 3 weeks.
 
Did a stupid thing and watched "The Redmen TV", should of turned it off. They all predicted 3-0 or 4-0 wins and think they are going to batter us. Liverpool fans really don't help themselves they are THE most delusional fan base in existence.
 
Just happened to see my message count (or was I drawn to it by an unseen power?) - it's 666, which has to be a SIGN . This message (667) Kills the devil. Lucky I saw it. phew.

Back to normal, thank God.

Now I have to get a like and a haha before I can post again.
 
It's a fact that Liverpool fans got into Rome and Istanbul without tickets by jumping the gates. Christ, they even tried that at Wembley for the Everton Cup Final FFS.
You murdered Juve fans in Belgium.
Hillsbrough would not have happened if you had not stormed the gates (again)
The worst violence I have ever experienced in 50 years of watching games at over 100 grounds was at Liverpool

Best fans in the world - Fuckity fuck off
Now, please, just go away.

You forgot about Athens in 2007......

Liverpool reacted with anger last night after a senior Uefa official accused the Merseyside club's fans of having stolen from fellow supporters and "out of the hands of children".

William Gaillard, Uefa's director of communications, branded Liverpool supporters as the worst behaved in Europe after revealing that a detailed dossier compiled by undercover police officers blamed the English for the chaos at the Champions League final in Athens.

The accusations are likely to dominate tomorrow's meeting in Brussels between Richard Caborn, the sports minister, and Michel Platini, Uefa's new president. Caborn has already expressed sympathy with fans with tickets who were denied entry to the final, and demanded an explanation from Uefa.

Gaillard yesterday renewed his verbal onslaught: "The incidents involving Liverpool fans have been well known to us before the trouble at the Champions League final. This was just the latest example. What other set of fans steal tickets from their fellow supporters or out of the hands of children? We know who caused most of the trouble in Athens," he said. "There have been 25 incidents involving Liverpool fans away from home since 2003 and those are in the report - most teams' supporters do not cause any trouble at all."

But Liverpool, who sent Uefa a report criticising the organisation and security arrangements five days before the final, indicated that their warnings had gone unheeded. A club spokesman said: "The shortcomings in the management of the situation in Athens were apparent to anyone who was there and this latest statement from Uefa should not deflect attention from that reality."

Liverpool were allocated 17,000 tickets for the 63,800 capacity Olympic Stadium, which the club regarded as inadequate. Despite warnings not to travel without tickets, it is believed some 40,000 of their fans were in the Greek capital.

Politicians in the UK have backed the English club, criticising the organisation of the event. Michael Howard, the former Conservative leader, said the Olympic Stadium was unsuited to staging such an important match and Simon Gass, the British ambassador to Greece, called for an investigation into the behaviour of the police.

Trouble erupted after fans with forged tickets - or no tickets at all - were allowed into the stadium after passing four security cordons. There were reports that tickets were snatched out of the hands of supporters and that some had gained entry by flourishing cigarette packets and photocopied press passes.

Less than an hour before kick-off, police stopped supporters, many of whom did have genuine tickets, for safety reasons because the ground was full. When some fans protested or tried to evade cordons, police responded with a baton charge and fired tear gas. Caborn's talks with Platini are also likely to cover a series of incidents at games involving English clubs in Europe over the past year, including claims by Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur that their supporters were indiscriminately attacked by police in Rome and Seville, respectively..

I will certainly be keeping my head down on route from the fan park to the stadium.

Its been suggested that the ticket could be rolled up tight and stored in the old prison wallet, but i'm not sure even that would dissuade a particularly keen dipper.

Take care of yourselves and each other out there yids.
 
Half of our boys played the semi-final of the world cup (or won it in Hugo's case). We aren't lacking in big game experience.
Alderweireld knows what it's like to lose a final too, when in extra time he was only inches away from preventing Bale to score but failed

Wow

They really are a disgrace and don't want to change. Absolute wankers from fans to ex players

Jamie Carragher himself has said Spurs fans will be shocked by how many Liverpool fans will be in the stadium on Saturday


But Carragher expects Liverpool to be backed by a huge contingent in Madrid, with both sides officially handed 16,000 seats of the stadium’s capacity.

And while Spurs will take great numbers themselves for what is their first ever European Cup showpiece, the former defender thinks Tottenham will be shocked by just how many Liverpool fans are inside the arena come kick-off.

Carragher told The Anfield Wrap: “There isn’t anyone I know who isn’t going. I think what helps is that it’s not a bad place to get to, before [the previous finals] you think of Athens, Istanbul, Kiev - not the easiest place to get to.

“I think Tottenham are going to get an almighty shock, their supporters, and see how many Liverpool fans are there.

“I don’t think they’ll be expecting this"
 
"Victims of it all" is NOT a slur towards Hillsborough. You're too far way to know or understand what it refers to. What Heysel has to do with anything is the way in which Merseyside based Liverpool supporters (and more) have almost swept Heysel under the carpet and refuse to accept any responsibility. On the Liverpool Echo website on yesterday one of the morons posted. "

They stole one or two European Cups off Everton by getting English clubs banned. We'll try and take one back from the cunts.
