Posted by Arsenal in Europe on 31/5/2005, 6:08 pm, in reply to "Re: Champions League Final" Last two Carling Cup matches - the first against Chelsea (league winners - played a full strenght side, (and Drogba)) and the one before (in 2003 - ok so 2 years back) against a full strength Man Utd side. Most football supporters remember one of the quickest hat tricks of all time in the top flight, not sure the same can be said of one other goal cos he went round a few players. Good goal, like, give you that. I don't think Hansen or his gay friend 'Lawro' ever needed to pass back anyway, the ball never got as far as the Liverpool defence (Molby was a big lad even then). As Shanks once said, first is first, second is nowhere. Liverpool would never take glory in coming second, third, fourth, fifth. You seem to take great pride in the fact you come second. Hats off. An entire paragraph on our failings, in a season we won the European Cup. Meanwhile, keep ensuring that making the final of a european trophy that does not even exist any more makes your honours board, on the same page that the arsenal ladies honours are given equal acclaim.

"If you're going to include such prestigious events as the Carling 'we're gonna play our under 11's' Cup as a trophy success, then we'll include the equally if not more difficult to win Community Shield. I think that means 2 of our doubles now become trebles!"
"Don't suppose it will be long before you start bleating on about 6 minute hat-tricks from Robbie Fowler, but failing to mention when Thierry Henry single handedly tore your 'Champions League defence' apart. Or how when Hansen and Lawrenson once kept 4 clean sheets in a row but decided to retire 3 days after FIFA outlawed the back pass rule."
"No-one can doubt the scousers success in the 80's (20 years ago!!!!!) or even take their hat off to their success in Istanbul last Wednesday, but you scousers need to face fact, 37 points behind Champions Chelsea, finishing 5th behind neighbours Everton, (who coincidentally got stuffed 7-0 by a certain North London team????) and getting dumped out of the FA Cup by some lower league pile of dump, (nice goal Jimmi!) and not finishing in the top 2 of the Premiership, (Europe's best league!) in the last 15, yes 15 seasons just isn't good enough!"
