Post Match "We're in the Champions League Final"

No it isn't. It's the trophy that proves you're the best team in the country where Liverpool play football, and most Liverpool fans know that
Which is still irrelevant on a global scale. The whole world watches the CL Final and if you win that your standing goes through the roof. I get the provincial mind-set over the international one - I lived more than 20 years of my life on Merseyside - but times have changed as FFF said, it's likely the younger generation of fans prefer the CL too because beating the likes of Barca & Madrid to the trophy is a greater feat. Or maybe I just saw us win too many titles when growing up, whereas winning the CL never gets old, it's always a massive buzz.
 
I don't give a tin fuck about "global scale" or whatever that means. And if you think wanting to win the title over the CL is "provincial" then you can fuck off too
 
It’ll be through the club on a fancard. I’d imagine it would be the same 5,000 getting tickets for the away games bringing the availability for the remainder to 5,000.
5000 tickets in the ballot and about 40000 entrants. Odds aren't great.
 
Agree with Bren here, love the CL and the status it gives you by winning it but not winning the title in 28 years is a killer and I’d swap number 6 for 19.

The premier league should be our bread and butter

Winning a cup competition is great, big ears more so....but the league...

I'd trade Kiev in a heartbeat to have won the league this year
 
Doesn't matter... We can't win the league this year but we can win CL.. going all hysteric over something like that is just pathetic. Enjoy this moment and we can celebrate the league next season.
 
If we were winning league titles regularly, then Big Ears would be the bigger prize, and the likes of Man City would probably swap a league for the CL right now, and I'd bet most of their players and backroom staff (and their Arab owners) would go along with that. For us, there is a desperation to win the league that means I'd take a league title any day. It doesn't need a second thought.
 
Guess you need to get your dictionary out. And go fuck yourself you egotistical cunt.

Froggy, come on now, revel in your global scale and leave the little provincial people and their tawdry, small-time aspirations alone.

Although maybe you should try and reflect why most Liverpool fans* would prefer to win the title again than the CL, and respect that.

*Again, perhaps I might need to caveat that by saying ones who are from Liverpool. It is perhaps correct that fans more interested in a "global scale" might not agree, which would then beg the question about the difference between certain types of Liverpool fans and their viewpoints about trophies and their value/ desirability.
 
Of course back in the day you couldn't win the European Cup unless you'd won your league. So yep, league title for me every time.
 
I did a poll!
That was damn quick !

I do think that age comes into play here so it would be interesting to see what the likes of Portly, Vlad, Tom and Pesam think. Or maybe I've just lived abroad for too long 😀

Exactly

Arguably the champions league is worth less now than it used to be.

I am from Liverpool* dickhead.

* OK woolyback but 5 miles in a straight line so near enough.
 
Bollocks you did.

Brendan : *Again, perhaps I might need to caveat that by saying ones who are from Liverpool.

So by adding the caveat, the sentence becomes "most Liverpool fans from Liverpool"

The "most" is still in there, meaning "not all", so happily includes mongs like you

And more often than not I still refer to the European Cup and the title / league / championship rather than the Champions League or Premier League respectively. I'm also old enough to remember everything we've won since the mid-70s and I've seen us win playing badly, lose playing well, riding our luck and being cruelly denied. All of the wins were ace, all of the losses were like daggers through the heart. I think Macca's had a bump on the head.
 
I'm just quite happy we can even have this discussion with a straight face.
I've spent chunks of this thread rolling my eyes. Is it even possible to do that with a straight face?

I'm trying it now. I look like I'm doing the After Eight challenge without the After Eight.

This would be exactly my thinking.
Once we have another four or five league titles I might start considering swapping an additional one for big ears
