Liverpool v. Chelsea - 2 May 2010 - KO 13:30
« on: April 30, 2010, 10:13:47 pm »
We're emotionally exhausted, the team is physically spent, and there's the media-driven "win and hand United the title" narrative hanging over our heads like the Sword of Damocles.

What to do but pick ourselves up, shake the badness out of our head, and concentrate on the next one.

(Mods, please feel free to lock if there's a similar topic floating around in the ether. Or if this is just too painful to face after Thursday.)

Well, last night tipped the balance for me. This season will fuck us over right until the last whistle.
 To help the mancs win the title would be the final act of misery, unless we also lost at Hull next week and ended up 8th.
 I've endured enough shite thank you very much, so I want a narrow defeat.
There, I've said it, for the first time in my 45 years I actually want us to lose.
 Fuck this season.

In fairness, the media are only reflecting on what this means to all fans and those with an affinity with either club (even if they ARE doing it in their usual OTT fashion)

Got a text similar to that the other night.  In all seriousness unless the most unlikely set of results happen tomorrow to give us a hint of 4th then I'd hate to hand the mancs the league.  Take a defeat and secure Europa in the last game with a draw or a win.

Esp with that twat fergie patronising us from on high today.

It's about pride for me. Against Fiorentina with nothing to play for we folded. This time round I expect much more.It's about pride and character, and I want to see the side bulging with it.

There's no chance of 4th - to be honest I would accept us losing especially if Rafa were to play some of the youngsters during the game.
Goodbye & thank you Rafa. You've given us more than we ever had a right to expect from you and you stayed loyal and fought for us even when some of our own turned on you. I truly hope that you find somewhere with the support that you deserve & win everything in sight.

I have a sneak feeling that we will draw, and the Mancs will draw. It will hurt more if they couldn't do the job, when the title was offered to them on a silver platter by the team they are trying to get off the perch. Much like the Blackburn episode years back.

I agree. It would be an insult to the majority of our fans if the players put in an abject performance and thankfully i can't see it happening. Hope we hammer the plastic c*nts and all this "we'd be gifting the mancs the title" is a load of bollox. The season is determined over 38 games and not one.

As for the match, I think we'll lose anyway. I think last nights game would have drained us physically and mentally, added to the fact Chelsea will have had a weeks rest and they didn't even break sweat against Stoke.

Think results tomorrow for Villa, Spurs and City may determine the selection. This game and the Manc game should be kicking off at the same time IMO. Can't say I'm wanting us to lose but I don't think I'll be as pissed off as I normally am should the chav twats beat us.

This is true, I swear, last week I looked out of my kitchen window about 7.00 a.m. and there was a load of magpies in a tree, within a second another one joined them. I quickly counted them and there was 10. So I thought did I see 9 or 10, which would be the most fortunate. I googled it and 9 is for a kiss and 10 is a magpie you must not miss. I thought fucking yes, both will do, either way something good is going to happen  ...............................   did it fuck mate. So that 'one for sorrow' meant fuck all to me, however many times it scrambled behind Pepe's goal as a teasing little c*nt, honestly it didn't affect me, I wasn't held back to squeeze its scrawny little fucking neck, the bastard.

John Aldridge: I’d have to Kop it against Chelsea


I’M not sure which way it will go against Chelsea on Sunday.

As a Liverpool fan I never want us to lose. At the same time I’m sure none of us want to stand by and watch Manchester United overhaul our record number of league titles.

I don’t believe we’ll get fourth place now anyway so I’m not sure the Chelsea result will have any real bearing for us. Does Rafa Benitez decide to give the likes of Dani Pacheco and the other young lads the chance to experience playing against Chelsea, or does he go for it and play his strongest side?

All I know is that if I was out there and we got a penalty in the 89th minute to make it 1-1, there’s only one place it’s going. Right in the top corner – of the Kop!


Haha, too fucking right. Well said.

Haha! When he puts it like that, fair enough. But if we were 0-1 down, it would have to go in surely.

Either way, Chelsea need to show they deserve to win the league. If they beat us, so be it. It wouldn't be nearly a bad a defeat as it could normally feel..... but honestly, nothing would make me happier than to thump Chelsea 5-0.

I'd love it if we battered Chelsea 3 or 4 nil, no matter what it did for United, but the result I would hate to see is a draw.  That would be terrible and is fucking probably what will happen.

Records are there to be broken, it was going to happen someday so we just have to deal with it and fight to get it back.

I don't care if United win the title, I don't care if Chelsea do, all I care about is Liverpool FC and nothing but the strongest team will do IMO.

Where a club that plays to 'win' and achieve great things with pride and passion ... wanting us to draw/lose pre-game is not why i support this club and what makes it so great. Imagine, our owners (past, present or future) have/had this small time mentality, maybe thats part of the reason were in the position as a club at the moment were in. Fuk chelsea, fuk man u and fuk the media, were Liverpool FC and i hope we absolutely destroy the life out of chelsea tomorrow and that the entire planet see's it! Even if they get number 19, we'll come good again and surpass them!

We will win. I also expect Sunderland to pull off a result later in the day too.


This! :wave


Although, I'll admit that this has me more worried than anything - for once the Daily Mail wrote something worth reading:
......................

If Fernando Torres is to stay at Liverpool Kop must be united for Chelsea clash
By Des Kelly
Last updated at 12:38 AM on 1st May 2010

 Imagine Fernando Torres looking on in bewilderment as his own supporters celebrate defeat. Imagine the Spaniard standing by as the fans wallow in failure because it denies their rivals a moment of success.
Those misplaced loyalties could make a proud competitor like Torres think about his career. The realisation that the business of winning trophies was to be had elsewhere might even make him quit. But you don't have to imagine it.
This is not fiction, or some speculative fantasy of how things might play out on Sunday if Liverpool surrender against Chelsea.

It's actually one of the main reasons Torres is to be found at Anfield now. When the Spanish striker was playing for Atletico Madrid, he was appalled when fans of the club he joined at 11 and captained at the age of 19 delighted in a 0-6 hammering by Barcelona.
Their masochistic glee was inspired by the consequences of their team's feeble submission. It ensured that their city rivals Real Madrid would not win La Liga.

But Torres admits that dishonourable episode propelled him towards the exit. 'Yes, that was a key day, maybe the day that I was finally convinced to leave,' he admitted in a thoughtful interview.
'After losing 6-0 and seeing the way it happened, after seeing all the fans, who had always been right behind their team but now weren't, I was really hurt.
A team that's used to winning just doesn't go through an experience like that.
'At all clubs, the fans really hate their rivals and keep an eye on their results. But one of the problems we always had at Atletico was that the fans were too focused on Real Madrid; that was symbolic of our bad times.
'When you're not achieving anything, you focus on your rivals and hope they lose. But you reach the point where you think it's time we looked at our results and left Real Madrid alone.
'If your fans want you to lose, it's a sign that your team has nothing to play for. And when that dawns on you, it hurts.'

Those words will have a renewed significance tomorrow when Chelsea step out at Anfield in their potentially decisive title clash.
In every pub and in every car making the journey to the game, the debate among Liverpool fans will be the same: to go against the natural instincts of a fan and pray the side loses, denying Manchester United their 19th title?
Or to urge the team on in the faint hope of finishing fourth and salvaging something from the wreckage of a season?
All week, Liverpool message boards and internet forums have been buzzing with conflicting pleas to fold or fight on. But with Rafa Benitez's 'guarantee' to finish fourth looking more and more like a note to Father Christmas, many supporters admit they would readily accept defeat if it prevented Mr. Ferguson from completing his plan to 'knock Liverpool off their ****ing perch' as he famously promised on his arrival at Old Trafford in 1986.
I accept that internet forums are not always the home of rational debate, but there are certainly enough Liverpool voices out there willing to offer their support to Chelsea for one day and the reaction in the stands will be just as fascinating as the response of the players on the pitch.
One website post urges: Show your support for Chelsea 'Pool fans: Wear Blue to the match!' It's not likely to catch on.
 
Others simply hope for a Chelsea beating, to guarantee that goal difference doesn't become a factor in the final reckoning. Other, more sensible heads, respond by accusing these renegades of being traitors to the cause.
There is no doubt that happiness can be found in the misfortune of your enemies. There's nothing noble about the feeling, in fact it represents the worst of human nature, yet it would be hypocrisy to pretend it doesn't exist.
The sight of the traffic warden handing you a parking ticket and then tripping over a kerb can warm the insides like a deliciously evil hot toddy. But the sentiment of fans is one thing, the attitude of professional players is another entirely. They have their own points to prove.
The fact that Benitez is making loud noises about fixture congestion suggests he might be laying the ground to pick a changed side. Add that he has a chance to escape to Juventus in the summer and a conspiracy theory suggesting his parting gift could be an act of sabotage on Ferguson begins to look alluring.
However, football is not that accommodating when it comes to predictions, particularly in this topsy-turvy season.
If Chelsea win, it will be because they are the better team. If United fail, it will be because they lost at home to Carlo Ancelotti's men when it mattered four weeks ago and have not been able to recover lost ground.
Should Torres decide to seek a new home after the World Cup because he cannot stomach playing for another club that watches enviously from the sidelines when honours are handed out, Anfield will only have itself to blame. That is why real Liverpool fans will not want their side to lose.
