It doesnt matter, Kerr is a gimp and still thinks Carr is a messiah even after having a bit of a shocker this season.

Hats off to Liverpool - I cannot believe one team can get so much luck in 1 match.

Perfectly good goal for Milan disallowed - Gerrard played the ball through in the tackle.
Prior to first Pool - the linesman had his flag up for offside and though Milan never got the ball back he took it down.
Dida making a hash of Smicers shot.
Gerrard diving for the penalty and getting it, then the penalty save falling nicely for Alonso.
Shevchenkos miss.

Shame they can't defend it

Dunno why I'm even bothering replying to you as you're obviously looking for a reaction. But don't be so stupid! It wasn't luck, it was pure grit and determination that won it for Liverpool and fair play to them. A fantastic match and real out of the seat stuff.

Congrats to the Pool!

Due the excessively large hangover im currently suffering I have concluded it is all not some part of a beautiful dream. At 3-0 at half time never did I think it could have turned out so well. The hell that is penalties I dont know how me poor old heart didnt pack up!

Well done Liverpool, a great match and a great result.
Will HK ever play for the team again?
Wouldn't it be funny if you didn't get to play in next year's though?
(even though you do get the trophy)

Anybody know what odds betfair were going Liverpool to win the cup at half time?

Chong

I am still shocked tbh and emotionally drained. I have to say as an avid manu fan, congratulations to our great rivals liverpool, an absolutely amazing performance and maybe the best Champions League final I have ever seen.

Hopefully not, him and baros can go and form a new team for pansy, alice band wearing gimps who dont like to be tackled.

Guy:Incognito

Actually, what was up with theMialn players for the penalties, everyone of them looked scared ****less, not good for some of the best and most experienced players in the game. Dudek looked on top form and Grobbelaar-esque.

nice return.

This wasnt one of the great Liverpool sides but hopefully now Benitez will rebuild the side into what Liverpool used to be all about. Its going to take a few seasons thats for sure :)

Its a real shame that they cant defend their trophy.

RE*AC*TOR

What a night. I'm still in shock. I still don't know how we won that match. Beyond belief.

Spot on tbh .

The best comeback I think I've ever seen - what a game, what team spirit! It's truly something that money can't buy... Dudek was absolutely incredible after the first half - though I can't see him remaining too long at Liverpool .

sleepwalker

first off let me said congrats to liverpool and all liverpool fans

and also that we probably all got to witness what will be referred to for the next 20 years as the greatest european cup final ever, also its great to see a premiership team win it, pity they wont get the chance to defend it but i have a feeling chelsea might win it next year anyway

...exactly the same.

The cup has been 'kept' by a few clubs in the past who have managed to win it 5 times.

As far as I know, the current European Cup that liverpool get to keep is only a few years old...

the penos:

shevchenko looked petrified. you could tell by looking at the guy that he knew was going to miss. he rushed the shot i doubt he even picked a side, result being it went straight down the middle.

one thing i have to praise liverpool on is outstanding sportsmanship throughout the game. I don't think there was a nasty tackle in the entire 2 hours. congrats are due.

RE*AC*TOR

Also I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the staff at the Merrion Inn for their patience with me, and I hope their insurance premium doesn't rise too steeply as a result

But seriously - Carragher should be Irish. Look at him for feck sake!

I couldn't be happier. I know plenty of ManU fans shouting for Liverpool last night (there was even one at my table).

The night brought back emotions of Ireland beating Romania on penalties, of Ray Houghton scoring that goal, of Collymore closing in. In a year when Greece are the European Champions its fitting that the underdogs have done it again.

Just found out that I guy I play football with (an Arsenal fan) lost €10000 on the game last night. LOL.

quarryman

10k?!!!

did he put the money on AC to win at HT?

zAbbo

haha 10k, what was the return on that, evens ?
so he was doubling it up. I can imagine him at half time....then 15mins later

Board@Work

Is it true that we get to keep the cup as it is our fifth win..


Just wondering...

Something for Liverpool fans who might want to relive the night from work (If ya went in this morning)

OMFG,i am not afraid to admit it ,i simply cannot stop crying when looking at all the TV reports and websites today.
Totally incredible night.
To all the constant doubters all season here on boards ,HAHAHAHA YOU WERE WRONG SO VERY VERY WRONG!!!!!!!!!

ZENER

Hearty Congratulations Liverpool and their fans here on boardsie. Fantastic rollercoaster game of football that will go down in history. I'd love to see the heart-attack statistics for last night and the number of new babies born in 9 months time in Liverpool called Steven or Jamie or Jersy !!!!

My kids are totally confused now . . an avid ManU fan donning his black ManU shirt screaming like a fooking loonatic when our arch rivals in Red - Liverpool - scored the 3rd goal . . . priceless !!! The psychiatrists bills will be huge !!!

A great nights entertainment lads and a well deserved victory for the 'Pool. The only downside is we'll be hearing about this for the next 50 years from Fishy :rolleyes:

I've just read this whole thread

Fair play to Liverpool, congratulations.

Oh my god im just so proud of the 'pool today!! Was absolutely gutted at half time, really thought there was no way back. Was always a slight glimmer in my mind we could come back but id be lying if i said i actually realistically thought they would, but by god what a 2nd half performance.

Carragher. what can i say other then immense. Man of the season before tonight but the way he puts his body on the line time and time again is just incredible!

Was delighted for gerrard as well, he's had a tough time of it. If you look at it from his point of view, he was obviously totally torn between wanting to do the best for his career but also to stay loyal to his club. Could see him getting cold feet about leaving when he pulled out of the 2house deals in london and i think last night made the decision for him. When the itv interviewer asked him about next season and his face kinda changed to be tense and he just said he'd be sitting down with the manager and rick parry to talk, then went away a lil bit, came back and said with a big smile on his face "its looking good though". Wonder if he would have stepped up for final pen if sheva hadn't missed..guess we'll never know...

Just absolutely delighted, last night was the happiest i've ever been in one burst in my life - amazing!

And finally i read through all the posts from when i left work yesterday and i must just give a big THANK YOU to all the people who, be they man u fans or whoever, gave their support to liverpool and also the congrats after the match - Much Appreciated!

And to those like The Monster and [DM]-TheDOC- i feel quite sorry for you for wanting to take away other peoples happiness at a time like this. No need to be so negative, luck didn't win liverpool the champions league, determination, effort, heart and results against Leverkusen, Juventus, Chelsea and AC Milan did. And lets also remember liverpool were the only team this year not to lose a single match in the Champions League this year, something milan could not have said even if they had won yesterday.

WELL DONE THE POOL!!

I hope that was to win the trophy and not 90 minutes as the 90 mins would have been a loser

Champions League winners 2004-05!!!!!!!!!

Wow…..if somebody hadn’t seen the match but read a report they would have though it was a work of fiction! That match last night was a advertisement for soccer, the agony, the ecstasy, the drama …it had many non-football fans hooked. Liverpool did not have a team of superstars but money can't buy grit & character and not a lot of teams would have came back from 3-0

Rafa: Surprise team selection but up made up for it, rallied the troops and turned things around.

Carragher: what can i say f*$%ing Legend. Man of the season before tonight but the way he puts his body on the line time and time again is just incredible!

Gerrard: Brilliant second half, gave everyone a lift

Dudek: learned Grobelars video off by heart, brilliant saves

P.S. Imagine if Hamaan started………..

Lets hope we don’t have to wait over 20 years for the next one

I am a nuetral football fan last night and if I am honest I wanted Liverpool to win because im always up for the underdog.

But this I gotta say to all you people out there saying liverpool deserved to win. They didnt. Liverpool did not win that match Milan threw it away and Shevchenko produced one of the worst misses I have ever seen. the first save was excellent the second one wasnt he knew absolutely nothing about it shevchenko had the whole net to aim at and still amnaged to hit dudek with the ball. It was worse than schoolboy stuff.

Th game should have been dead and buried but Milan threw it away. The second goal should have been saved by dida no doubt about that.

I can not beleive that Milan lost that game it wasnt as if liverpool started playing excellent they didnt mialn just lost the plot totally.

Liverpool have got to be the worst team ever to win that trophy and I guarantee all of you they will still finish a maximum of 4th next year in the premiership this has no bearing on how they are going to be next season.

Dont get me wrong the greatest respect for them winning but all teh hype and excitement around the match has blinded too many people about what actually happened. the honest people out there will agree that shevchenko missed an absolute sitter it wasnt a great save it just hit and also they threw the game away.

But football is football and liverpool won the game so congratulations to everyone involved with the club especially Rafa Benitez who is an excellent european manager.

It will be a long long time before they win the premiership though and they are by no means the best team in Europe. The best team does not always win

Much as its Hurts to say it, well done to the Pool, I never thought they'd do it but when they reached the final it seemed inevitable. Enjoy it guys and never say that United fans can't be gratious! I enjoyed the game in a kind of perverse way, I think I need a shower!!

I hadn't opened this thread until just now and I have to say speeding thru it's like looking at one of those animated flick-books where the line-drawn face changes from a smile to a frown and back again all over a handful of pages.

It was entertaining in itself to see all the ABL schadenfreude at 3-0 turn into grudging praise at 3-3 and then swing back to bitterness when the magnitude of Liverpools achievement finally sunk in. At the same time and all the Liverpool hope turn to pain, humiliation and acceptance at 3-0 only to turn back to disbelieving joy at the final whistle. All this condensed into the short time it took to read this thread.

Fair play to Liverpool for producing a comeback that you'd have scoffed it if you saw it in a Hollywood movie. I don't think I've ever seen a game quite like it at this level ... probably never will again. I always thought the 1999 final would go down in history as 'the ultimate comeback' final but somehow this has eclipsed it imho. Also it's nice to see a football club (albeit a huge one) that's still in touch with it's community (and ending in FC) take the big one! Gives hope to us all!

BTW what were you all doing sitting here posting during the game anyway? I couldn't take my eyes off it for a second!

LizardKing

Oh What a Night .... Oh what a hangover ... European Glory for the Pool once more .. Should be able to attract some top players for next season now ...
