I will be missing the first half of this game due to work. Looking foward to this game. Two teams are different from 2 years ago in Istanbul. Kaka will be the main threat for Milan. Gerrard for Liverpool. I am going for a Liverpool win in Extra Time.

I hope AC win, the bullshit surrounding Liverpools fickle fans is cringe-worthy

Liverpool all the way for me.

English club.

Found this video on youtube

Pretty good video and really builds up the suspense for tonight.  I can't wait

Liverpool will win. show the mancs how to do it

200 fans stuck in John Lennon airport apparently. All have tickets!

Quite a lot of milan stuck at milan airport staff went on strike yesterday they all have tickets as well.

2-0 to milan at a canter

2-1 Meeeeeeeeeelan.

1-0 liverpool, Crouch

C'mon Milan. I know a couple of people down the pub Saturday night who will be unbarable should the Scousers win.

Liverpool for me. Well up for this game.

If AC Milan win, Scot will become Ultra again  :D

this should be a good game. Milan have to be favourites but id like to see a Liverpool win for English Football. plus this would piss off Fergie and Jose big time as they can't win this thing for shit but Liverpool can do it twice in 3 years  :soapy tit wank:

Liverpool are my favourite club out of the 'big four'.

If that happens BWB will be back on here spunking everywhere!

I hope to Jebus that Liverpool take a thrashing.

Agreed.

Whats your big 4? surely its man utd, Aresenal, chelsea and liverpool

Swindon
Swindon Reserves
Swindon Under 18s
Swindon Under 16s

What about Swindon ladies?

I think that's universally excepted currently.  And of those I prefer Liverpool - the lesser of 4 evils.

Ok no arguments there

They come in at number 5

Come on Milan,unlike Liverpool they actually play football.

i'm not fussed who wins, just hope it's a decent game.

I seem to remember Liverpool playing football in the 2nd half of the 2005 Final.

 :D

and when they outplayed and deservedly beat Barca over 2 legs :wink:

arsenal are the best of the big four.

They play the best football by far. If they were the best team they would have won the prem

Arse certainly are the nicest to watch of the big 4, but certainly not the best.

well they are my fav anyway.

And mine. At their best they are awesome to watch.

Trouble is, they try to pass it in the goal too often.

agree tails

Man U have and always will be my fave of those 4. Great football with end result included.

As pretty as Arsenal are to watch, it would do my head in supporting them (and thats before the ticket prices)  

JUST FUCKING SHOOT! ARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

I predict Liverpool taking the lead and losing.

I hope its another boring game like the fa cup as i have to go to the library to revise :(

2-1 milan. I reckon liverpool to take the lead through a header cos milan are poor in the air but kaka will live up to the billin and turn the game. Plus loads of my mates seem to love the pool because they are real fans  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

wheres everyone watching it? i take it walkabout it going to be heaving

Over here all I have seen a day is people wearing Liverpool shirts (perhaos with the tags still on the shirts?), FFS I bet they have never been anywhere near Anfield yet alone watched them play.

And worse of all they smerk at me in my Town shirt

I fucking hate glory supporters :x

I like liverpool tbh.The atmosphere the fans create should be praised

As a Swindon fan, I couldn't give a toss - so I'm off to watch Derren Brown tonight.  :beers:

what one fucking song over and over, or the annoying champions legaue 5 times song only when they are winning?

there support is nothing special just over hyped by the media

Agreed.

All clubs have glory hunters, Yeovil are taking over 30,000 to Wembley when their average home attendance last season was just over 5000!

The top teams obviously have more people jumping on the bandwagon, as they're more successful.

But the Liverpool fans who actually go and support their team should be congratulated for the noise and atmosphere the generate.

And they've only got lots of fans because they were glory boys when they were kids. There'll be an awful lot of Chelsea fans around in 20-30 years time

Most kids are glory boys.

I had to take a firm hand with mine when he started showing a penchant for Man Utd.

To be fair though, he was about 7!

possible but if the success wains they may move on to another team.
For example there is a little kid in my street, in 2001 when Liverpool won the treble he wears a liverpool shirt, when Manchester United won the league a few years after he had a manure shirt on,
now surprise surprise he has a Chelsea shirt - talk about shirt for all occasions.

when i was a kid during the early to mid 80s i supported liverpool.i then went to watch swindon and that was that.alot of my mates from then are still liverpool fans, who started supporting them for the same reason as me(they were the best team then)
so the chelsea theory is a good one i think

I have also been told by a Liverpool 'fan' that I shouldn't wear my FC Bayern shirt as I don;t have the right to as I have only been to watch them once.
He has no links whatsoever to Liverpool whereas my majority of my family come from Bavaria very close to Bayerns former ground, I think I have every right to follow Bayern,as I consider it my local team

support Swindon, follow whoever else you want I reckon

Used to be the 'big 5' in the 80's and early 90's if i remember correctly?

Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton and Spurs ?

Word for word, what arriba said.

Pretty much the same.

Although for me it was the 70's and Spurs.

For me it was the 90's and Man Utd.

I heard from maldinis mouth last night that the fans were amazing i have been to anfield 6 times now and it still beats anything i have been to before.I was younger then though

Can't wait for the game, hope the English team win (fuck off with all the full of foreign players bollocks). I expect it will be tough and, despite not giving very much of a fuck about any team in the premiership, when any English team wins in the champions league it feels like England losing. I hope i'm not miserable later.

Come on the 'puel.  :beers:

the way i remember it was that during the 80's liverpool were hated by the neutral in the same way that man united were hated during the 90's, and chelsea are hated now!

come on milan!

Why is Simon Cowell the referee?

Yep and me .

I seem to remeber loads of lucky last minute penaltys at Anfield.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: They're clearly the worst performing team out of the top 4 and they're one of the least likeable teams in the world. Hope Liverpool come back tonight, Milan don't deserve to win this.

Gerrard really should have put that in.

I wish ITV would stop talking about how Gerrard changed the game two years ago....he didnt, it was Didi Hamman

Supremely lucky Italian cunts.

i did inzaghi first scorer and milan to win 2-0 @33-1
no more goals please

fuck fuck fuck fuck cunt wank bastards

Unlucky arriba.

I fucking hate those ITV commentary cunts

:nod:

I watched it on SS1

that was quite a decent game to watch. quite scrappy but far better than the boring cup final at the weekend.

inzaghi amuses me

what i didn't understand was pennant moving more central in the second half.

And some commentary magic from david pleat when crouch was brought on.

" liverpool will be looking to get the ball to the feet of crouch, and get him running at the defenders"  :?

  Milan were pretty poor, but still had more than enough for the Scousers.  So much for the much vaunted "best league in the world"  2 wins in the 15 years of Champions League.

That's because everyone is concentrating on the league.

Lucky first goal off the shoulder, proper Clive Allen job, good 2nd but Liverpool deserved extra time really. Having said that, bovvered.

Always seemed like Milan had another gear if liverpool had the ability to step their game up a bit. To be fair Liverpool started ok, but after that it always seemed like a pretty comfortable Italian win. and good stuff too. Fuck those scouse bastards. Actually that's unfair. I don't think I've ever met a Scouse Liverpool fan.

I thought Milan were there for the taking, but Benitez is so negative it is unbelievable. Milan had two shots on target and scored both, and I think Liverpool had three all game.

Harry Kewell was absolute crap when he came on.

Saying that Milan should not have been in Europe at all after being found guilty of match fixing, and UEFA didn't have the balls to throw them out.

Second half dead equal - first half all Liverpool but the spawny italian gits get a goal that was utterly random, actually handball but Agger went to sleep so suffered the consequences.  That was more of a handball than Brian Burrows against Everton in th FA cup when it was blasted against his arm in the first minute and he got sent off - yes I'm still bitter about that!
PS I hate Inzaghi he's a fucking waste of space and I've held this view for over 10 years. Can anyone compare him to Shearer, van Nistleroy, Shevchencho - he's just a goal hanger thats crap but lucky - vent over!

The one in the 90's? I could swear from memory and being there that it was Ian Culverhouse.

Thank god they lost, time for the Liverpool shirts to go back in the wardrobes me-thinks

it was

Dead right - that'll learn me not to try to remember anything when I've had too much.  It was January 1997 and we lost 3-0.  I think Borrows arrived a couple of years later

I bumped into Culverhouse in Eros of all places :oops:  about a week later, and he insisted it hit his chest.
