"We deserve to win this"I’ve got a drawer full of ‘deserves’ at home - and ‘unlucky’s’.
I hope everyone who says "oh, every club's supporters thinks there is a bias against them" takes a long look at the state of that.
I was born in 1978 so I was too young to remember. Surely it was one of the most useless massacres, perhaps more the fault of the Belgian police than of the hooligans. And then the year before there was Rome - Liverpool. Thanks for the nice thought
I haven't picked up a paper or watched any news programme for the last few weeks as I know I'll be fuming at the reporting.
I don't even like coming on this thread as I can feel my blood pressure rising over the unfair coverage.
If they win, you just know the coverage is going to go on and on, all through the summer. I'm going to move to Antarctica if that happens, only place I'd be able to get away from it all!
Channel 4 documentary - Neil Ruddock talking about Liverpool as 'we'?? Dipstick!!!
Ruddock is self absorbed prick. Was never Spurs never will be. Fucking fat cunt.
It was the fault of Scouse Scum hooligans
100%
Juve fans innocently wanted to exchange scarves and banners and were savagely attacked
That’s what happened
Murdering Scouse cunts
Did any of the scum responsible get prosecuted? Bit naive and don’t don’t much about what happened if I’m honestJuventus fans were families. Those of Liverpool were hooligans. The Belgian police instead of rescuing those poor innocents shut them up in the Z sector as cannon fodder. It's a dark piece of football history.
City fan.
I think l said it on the Ajax thread, but you've really had to settle for being the bridesmaid in this country's coverage of a supposedly all-English CL final. The love-in with those bindipping arsewipes has been nauseating in the extreme. You've had a taste of what we've had to put up with all season. One of the nicest things about this season is that fans of many clubs have found common ground in their hatred for those Berkeley Hunts.
I really do wish you all the best tonight. You aren't favourites but I think that's a good thing. Since missing out on the league, all the hysteria, pressure and cultist nonsense has been building up around the Dippers. Enjoy it, embrace it, and above all.....just win! Please!

14 were convicted of manslaughter, which I don’t know if it exists in Civil law countries, and received sentences up to 5 years. The Belgian courts then increased it to 11.Unfortunately not, it is a wound still open that will always lead me to see Liverpool and its fans as "enemies" even if I respect them because I am a great club.

The thing that amazes me is when they were drawn against Juve in IIRC 2008 their fans made a banner “Amizicata” (I think it means friendship)
Surely the word should be sorry?
What makes them think they deserve to win this? Based on what, the fact that they DIDN'T win the league? And what if Spurs play their best game ever; run rings around the Dips for 90 minutes and win 3-0. Would they still be saying they deserved it? Apparently losing out to City again has scrambled their brain cells. Bus wrecking bastards. ... Go on Spurs."We deserve to win this"

They appear to think they deserved to win the league every season for the past thirty years as well. Just self-entitled I guess.What makes them think they deserve to win this?
