Liverpool v Real Madrid. Match thread

Re: Liverpool v Real Madrid. Match thread

Highlight for me was Micheal Owen arguing that Liverpool were the best team in Europe, Rio wasn't having it, Owen was arguing with a passion that he genuinely believed it

He then doubled down on his claim at being a clown by saying that the Cross for the goal was a Shot, Stevie G looked embarrassed by that and just lost for words

5 winners medals for Bale, he hast done too bad in Spain

Owen was an embarrassment. Even before the game started he said that Liverpool were another level up from Madrid and he expected a comfortable win. When his beloved team was turned over he thought he could salvage the situation by his inane claim that regardless of results Liverpool were the best team in Europe. Part of that golden generation of England footballers who always believed they should have won the World Cup even though they hardly ever progressed beyond the quarter finals !

Why can't people support what they want? You may well be stuck in the hell that is port talbot but wish to dream of other things

They can. Just don't act like you're one of them. Scousers are people from the city of Liverpool not people from elsewhere that have decided to support Liverpool Football Club.

Would you expect the best team in Europe to play three hundred and thirty minutes of Cup Final football in a season and not score a single goal?

I don’t get as wound up about plastics as some, but I just don’t get the mind set behind a man in his forties or fifties whose lived in the Rhondda valley all of his life wandering around his home village with a Liverpool shirt on like I saw two doing at 8 o clock yesterday morning or the mind set which has a stain glass Liverpool FC window put in his house like someone who lives not far from me has done.

There are plenty of lows for most fans who choose to follow their local and/or home town team, but they only make the rare highs that much more enjoyable when they come along - plastics don’t get such feelings, I just don’t get how they could experience the sort of pride I feel when City win something or reach a Final.

Re: Liverpool v Real Madrid. Match thread

Random question - how do Cardiff City fans from north of Thornhill and west of Culverhouse Cross feel knowing they'll never be "proper" fans of this club in the eyes of some?

From the Valleys? Actual plastic. Gotta be born within spitting distance of Sloper Road to be a *true* City fan.

I know :hehe:

Didn't even win the league.

Before he said he thought they would blow Real away.

I thought they would win but it's a champions league final against real Madrid, was always going to be close, particularly based on Liverpool's other finals this season.

Aye

It's a completely different situation and not comparable

Merthyr , Aberdare , Bridgend , Pontypridd are half an hour or so from Cardiff

People from there are supporting local football

Carmarthen is about half an hour from Swansea and likewise they do the same

But Cardiff and its catchment area are 3 hours from Liverpool and the vast majority of these Welsh Liverpool fans have no link to Liverpool or Manchester etc

They are plastics , simply hanging on the coat tails of success

Someone from Bargoed getting a coach to watch Cardiff City play Barnsley on a rainy Tuesday night is not a plastic glory seeker and it really shouldn't need explaining but there you go . Someone from Bargoed getting a South Wales valleys Reds etc coach to watch Liverpool whilst not bothering with Cardiff or Swansea ?

Well ......

I’m 40 miles from Cardiff and in roughly 1200-1300 games, only once have I had a comment due to my accent.

Well...

I’m surprised you’ve given it a response.

Interestingly, there’s supporters of Merthyr who feel the same way about City fans from the area.

I suppose it’s about personal perspectives.

They don't. It's now not about winning something, or getting close, it's more about how much 'silverware' they get in a season and is it enough for their fans not to be disappointed. The number of times in recent years I've turned on the Radio [5 live mostly], where they have got together a couple of rival 'fans' from the top clubs discussing who won more FA cups in the last 15 years, more league cups, more Champions League wins, finals.

Knowing a few of them, I worked out they all seem to be stuck in the mind of a nine year boy, love MOTD and they choose their team on who was the best back then. Different strokes for different folks, they seem happy, they even go to Anfield or old Trafford now and again you know…..in 30 years it will be Man City tops worn by them
