Topic: Winning Title #19*

[Boaty McBoatface]

With social distancing, the lads should go down one at a time like they're on Soul Train.

[Statto Red]

Murphy, at least Owen kept his mouth shut (about us) when he left

Owen has been quite complementary over us winning it, Murphy can't help himself but be a bitter twat.

[Red Beret]

Wish the Premier League would relent now and allow us to play the last seven games with our CWC winners patch.

[Dynasty]

Michael Owen or Danny Murphy. Who's the bigger arse?

Owen is alright to be fair he's always positive about us no bitterness, unlike Didi and Murphy who talk some utter bollocks at times especially when we weren't winning stuff.

[So… Howard Philips]

Wish the Premier League would relent now and allow us to play the last seven games with our CWC winners patch.

Do we have a Champions League patch?

[Red Beret]

Do we have a Champions League patch?

Well yes, but that is only worn in the CL. 

I believe when clubs in other European countries have won the CWC, they've been allowed to display the patch in the league, but we were only allowed it in the Wolves game after we got back?  And for the FA Cup too.  I don't think the Premier League likes the competing brand (or something).

But marching out as the newly crowed English as well as World Champions is no small feat.

[Thepooloflife]

Not the whole story.

Chelsea playing FAC semi that weekend so it will be moved.

Maybe 21 or 22 July.

Oh yeah, forgot about that - cheers mate. At least we know it's the Chelsea game for presentation.

[RedForeverTT]

Just on that picture, does anybody reckon Michael Essien is thinking "Eagles, Richardson & Dong aren't fit to lace my boots"?

It was a special piss take by Alex Fergurson. Look at their match day squad. Half of them weren't even in Utd the next season.

We have so much slack we could do the same against City. Put on Shaq and Adrian

[Statto Red]

Yep, because of the sleeve sponsors we now have in the PL too, which we don't have in the CL, with the CL kits we'll have the LFC style printing for name/number, were as the PL shirt, i think you have the choice for PL version or LFC version printing for name/number.

That's stupid of the PL. The Champions of your league also being European, European Super Cup and CWC holders is a great big fuck you our league is the best statement. They should be crowing about it, not hiding it

[PaisleyPrint]

I can relate to pretty much all of that. I'm glad you stuck around, and I'm glad I did too. I've learned over the years that even the darkest of times come to an end and the light returns once more. There are things and certain people who have helped me through the darkness, and LFC have always been one of them.

Take care of yourself and enjoy every second of this wonderful time.

Ps, regarding those dark clouds. Try not to fear them. Life's like the weather. It can't always be sunny. They'll come and go at times, but they can never stay forever. When times are tough I often think of when I fly to go on holiday. You can take off in grey cloud and rain. Five minutes later you are above the cloud in bright sunshine. The lesson for me: although we can't always see it, the sun is always there and will be seen once more. 😊

This is quote worthy.

And aren't we still the reigning European Champions or has the elimination knocked it on the head?

Does this make us the Corvid-19/20 champions?

[kavah]

Seen the Paddy Power indenial on Liverpool wining the title?

It's ace.

It's completely stupid, like Forest can have 2 stars on their shirts for there european cup wins in the EFL, but we cant have stars on ours in the PL.

From 1975.


edit: Can anyone tell me what track Peel played straight after there?


Have since found out that Peel sent back a copy of The Damned 'New Rose' 7" but sadly this got lost with the covering letter. Gutting. Here's to you John!

[jillcwhomever]

When is the trophy presented, anyone know.........v Chelsea ?

Chelsea have an FA Cup game. According to Pearce when he asked the FA the belief is it could be the home game before, though it’s still to be confirmed.

[Henry Kissinger]

Hi, newbie here.

I've seen Liverpool win it a few times in the 80s and it felt run of the mill at the time. Now, after 30 years, I just feel a sense of relief. But I have been watsapping all my 20 and 30 something year old footy mates asking them to describe the feeling so I can really soak it in. And their responses made me want to cry. Phenomenal times. 

Welcome to the fold.

Although I have to say it's a bit fucking shit to come on here and tell us you've had friends sharing with you their feelings on winning no 19 and not sharing even one of their responses with us.

Tsk.

[Red Beret]

Yes, but the CWC patch goes on the chest.  It would have been nice for us to wear it in our first game as English Champions.  Our next opportunity to display it wont come until next season's League Cup!

That's stupid of the PL. The Champions of your league also being European, European Super Cup and CWC holders is a great big fuck you our league is the best statement. They should be crowing about it, not hiding it

Yep!

[Red Beret]

Whoops!

[Dr. Beaker]

Raven lunatic!

[Alan_X]

It's completely stupid, like Forest can have 2 stars on their shirts for there european cup wins in the EFL, but we cant have stars on ours in the PL.

Clubs can add stars to their badges for various reasons.

Yeovil have four stars for five seasons in the top four tires,

Villa have one for their European Cup

Bury have one each for their 2 FA Cup wins in 1900 and 1903

Huddersfield have three for winning the league in three seasons - 1924, 1925, 1926

Ipswich have three for their league in 1962, FA Cup in 1978 and UEFA Cup in 1981

Forest as you say for two European Cups

Notts County have one to commemorate 120 years since their 1893-4 FA Cup win...

We could have 40+ stars for all of our trophies but unlike all of the above, we are not living on past glories or small clubs celebrating minor successes.

I subscribe to the Ronnie Moran school of thought. Never mind what we've won in the past, it's the next trophy that matters.

In all the papers I read at the weekend one article talked about some of the changes they have made at the club, and one was to take down all the photos of past Liverpool teams with trophies and replace it with the pictures of the trophies to be won in the future.

[Samie]

I agree with Alan mostly. The only time I wouldn't mind stars on a kit is in European matches. So next season our European kits have six stars above the liverbird. 

[PaulF]

Yeah. Don't mind a badge to show you are reigning champions. That said we'd need Luke Shaw's kit to fit our collection on.

[24/7]

Dumb line from Danny Murphy. Not the brightest light in the harbour and extremely disrespectful to the Liverpool side. Personally I would ban him from Anfield for life.

Nah not having that. Bring him in and frog-march him into the museum past all the trophies he never won then force him to lace Van Dyk's boots on the pitch just before kick-off

[jillcwhomever]

That I would like to see, with Virgil looking down on him with contempt.

[Red Beret]

That I would like to see, with Virgil looking down on him with contempt.

I would pay money to see that.  He has to go down the entire line of players and tie their laces.

Knowing that bitter twunt he'd deliberately tie the laces together though...

[24/7]

That I would like to see, with Virgil looking down on him with contempt.

I'd rather see Virgil paying no attention to him whatsoever - Murphy doesn't deserve his contempt and Virgil's bigger than that

Didn't Man City have stars on their kit a few years ago for decoration 

[PaulF]

I've paid no attention to the guard of honour idea until now. I think I saw kdb say we deserved it, and I'm sure there will be mixed feelings from the city players. Is it urban myth or did hard shoulder shitting tramp start it to motivate his players for next season?
I'd quite like to see something arranged by our squad when they take the guard and turn into something for the covid victims or the NHS or the 96. Maybe they could take the knee.whilst in the guard.

[Red Beret]

I think the only City player who'll struggle with the Guard of Honour is Sterling. 

[Red Beret]

Hadn't seen this.

Just think, another couple of seasons and we should be able to sew the US flag on our shirt ... that will make a few regular contributors very happy! Seriously, I think a simple Liver Bird badge is all that is needed to say "We Are Liverpool".

[Sangria]

Hadn't seen this. 

Call me spiteful, but I enjoyed "Bring me home".

Klopp: "We will not 'defend' the title next year, we will attack for the next one."

#LFC

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Klopp stressing again and pleading people not to gather outside of stadiums.

Hopefully people listen to him

[Barneylfc∗]

How is it possible to love that man any more
