Im sure the Berlin Wall was still standing last time Liverpool won the league :greengrin
The Champions League wasn't even a thing, the last time Liverpool won the league. :faf:Quote:

I know but we're not trying to claim that we're one of the biggest clubs in the world. :greengrinQuote:

Because these great players won't be trying that hard as its a pre season friendly and there is nothing at stake and they may not be even playing or at best get a half each.Quote:

The managers are only concerned with building up fitness and trying out different shapes so will join in the charade by substituting half the team after 60 minutes and just like every other friendly the game dies and peters out after around 75 minutes.
None of this is reasons for not going as you get to say you watched two of the worlds most well known teams in front of 70,000 people in a happy friendly atmosphere in a top class venue.
Lets not try to pretend its proper football though as its not.
😂 That is a stance taken by those who are jealous of Liverpool’s previous successes and seek to belittle them by any yard stick they can. It’s not one shared by the club and their supporters who rightly still proclaim Liverpool as a massive club in English and European football. The word disgrace in terms of success on the pitch can never be levelled against Liverpool.Quote:

This is not a competitive game of football as nothing is at stake. There is no win bonus, there is no goal scoring bonus for the strikers, nothing goes into the player pool bonus and every single player is under strict instructions not to over tackle.
No one remembers the score and no one really cares who wins or loses other than the diehard fans and even then I doubt it.
Ask yourself this when either team scores how will the players celebrate compared to a EPL or Serie A goal.
The won't give a flying fck.
I am assuming you are a Liverpool fan in which case name me a memorable Liverpool friendly win that you cant get out of your mind and let's see if anyone has heard of it.
It is still a very well worth occasion if this is your thing and enjoy saying "you were there" but the pretence that this is some huge competitive showdown between the Champion League winners and Series A's finest is frankly laughable.
This has never been billed a as a showdown and quite frankly the only laughable thing is your pathetic attempt to belittle what is a friendly and has only ever been a friendly along with the many friendliest that are played every pre season. Do me a favour and **** off with your pish made up descriptions of a pre season friendly game. If you have no interest then fine, leave it to those that do and stop trying to belittle it you sad *******.Quote:

Wee mind working is it......lol.
Liverpool 5 v Napoli 0 in Dublin. Lovely summer night, full house, some classy goals and an all round excellent football evening for those that like this sort of occasion.
Unfortunately you let your rage take over and proved my point utterly and completely as you didn't know this game had taken place or if you did it had completely disappeared from your mind as it was a game that ultimately meant nothing.
Now run along as you are completely out of your depth though by all means have another strop and I promise not to respond. 😂.
I can think of a time it was off it though. 5 years with no European football for any English side is testimony to that. Conquering that part of Europe doesn’t get much commemorating these days.Quote:

And nor should it be commemorated , that’s why I said on the pitch as I was well aware that issue would be raised.Quote:

If watch even a second of football not involving Hibs, live or on TV, I throw chilli powder in my eyes and carry out a 4 day self flagellation process.Quote:

This. You very rarely saw Man City mentioned before their recent success. Always find it odd that Hibs fans go down the glory hunting route when most will dislike old Firm fans for that very reason. Also Hibs fans calling the likes of Liverpool and City 'we' is just weird to me.Quote:
