Fair enough. Liverpool are damn lucky that you can get in the CL without winning the league nowadays, because we have not been good enough to win it in a long time.
And Eracer, a bit emotional, yes... it's an emotional game. Although I'm MILES away from England, I've been watching the EPL religiously and supporting Liverpool for almost 15 years. I'm as invested as a non-Englishman can be. Sometimes my posts show the positive side of that, and sometimes, well, not so much. A lot like Dirk Kuyt in that respect. The first USA World Cup Qualifier I ever attended was in 1984.... yes, EIGHTY Four. If there is such a thing as a Yank Soccer Nutter, it is I.
The 05 Team which lifted it, we far from shite.... although I do concede they never played any football as precise, attractive, or as effective as that of United do when all the parts are clicking.
Tevez was immense in the final, forgot to mention that earlier. Sure, his real name (in full, Middle Ages style) is "Tevez the Ugly" but what a player. He an Mascherano go from having trouble getting agame at West
freaking Ham to integral parts of two of the CL's top clubs?
For 10 yearls Paul Scholes was the one player from United that I would really have liked to have on my team.... move over Paul. Tevez the Ugly it is.
