It was truly amazing. Benfica trying to waste time the whole match, Porto scored so late and they had no time to react. We basically stole the league title from their grasp and won the league on that night, Jesus' reaction says it all, one match remaining which we would never lose.
Wasn't so good getting stadium chairs thrown towards me and literally hitting me, got lucky to just walk away with a scratch in the end... it was worth it to be there.
Still need to laminate my ticket lol.
You're right though, our team to win that season was a struggle, the season after was a piece of shit, but we're back, looking decent in most areas (dodgy defence though)
Barca's midfield is dead, that's why.
Messi's doing his and Xavi's job now.
Iniesta isn't as sharp as he use to be and now he's injured.
Xavi's been dead for more than two seasons now.
Busquets is slow with play but doesn't get the defensive help he needs because...
...Mascherano spends his time as a CB to cover for Pique and Alves who are both dead.
Barca should have kept Alexis and spent the Suarez money on two new CBs & a defensive minded RB. Should have stolen Koke too.
arnie noooooooooooooooooo

Unbelievable.. We have scored 37 goals and conceded 10. That takes our Goal Difference to +27. Barcelona is in second place in the league in terms of most goals scored: 23, Valencia is tied having scored 23 goals as well - oh and tightening our defensive line-up playing 4-4-2 isn't too shabby either.
What a time to be alive, all is right in the world.
Hala Madrid!

This team is better than La Decima team.
I want to test it against Chelsea and Bayern. So good.

It's too early to say something like that. Maybe the team is peaking really early, maybe it isn't. The point is it's too early to make that comparison.
People were saying the same shit with Bayern last season.

You know I think Liverpool fans expect way too much from Origi. He's just another 19 year old, and he's coming from another league. He's a very good player, but pinning all our hopes on him coming in and transforming our team is dangerous thinking.
I really think if we want to see an immediate impact, we need a Firmino, Volland or Reus.

It was the good kind of wat!
I know, right? Just got back from an awesome trip, and I just don't feel like doing anything ;_; but we have to, if you wanna afford another awesome trip.

...wait, so we sucked despite winning again?Empoli 0 - 2 Juve
0-1 Andrea Pirlo
0-2 Alvaro 'Elbuyback' Morata
---
If we play against Olympiakos as we did against Empoli and Sassuolo, we are DEAD. Which we probably will, seeing how Morata is currently the only player with any pace in our team. Not a single one of our midfielders in anywhere near on acceptable form at the moment, except maybe Marchisio, but not really. Pirlo is dead, Vidal is half-dead, Pogba has been frustratingly cold-hot in the past two months. Tevez seems to be going through a slump, Llorente hasn't hit his stride yet. And knowing Allegri, Morata will probably get benched again. What's more, both Ogbonna and Asamoah got injured yesterday and are in doubt, so, yeah. We'll probably be forced to field Padoin. In a decisive CL match.
Europe League fo' life.

Quite. I honestly don't see us winning against Olympiakos. Our midfield is dead and we're getting absolutely NOTHING from the wings. The only way I see us scoring is from a FK/corner or a Morata counter. Knowing our CL luck though ... Yeah.

DUDE what the hell happened to your face :lol :lol
I genuinely don't care anymore :lol let's just draw and crash out so we can sack Allegri, sell Artorias and I can go out on Tuesdays again already
now why would anyone want to be a cat
I would just jump under the nearest bus immediately to start another life
hopefully not as a Bayern or a Barca fan though.
or fucking Juve, man. ONE life as a Juventino is more than enough (punishment).

Back in the 90s I had an Italian friend. He was AC Milan fan. I admired that so much. Italian football was the shit back then. And in the 00s I feared Juve because every time we played them we lost. Fucking dead Delle Alpi haha. It was the worst.
But look at you guys now : (
Where did it go wrong, Yurt? Where?
So I've been thinking about Liverpool's results recently and how we're slowly losing touch with fourth place. If we lose at home with Chelsea next weekend we'll be potentially 6 points off of fourth and a staggering 15 off of first after just eleven games.
When Rodgers first came in he had some clear season by season goals for his original three year contract.
2012-2013: Challenge for Champions league places.
2013-2014: Achieve Champions League place.
2014-2015: Challenge for the league title.
Now Rodgers just about kept his job after the first season thanks to his 2013 form. Last year we obviously nearly won the title so he actually overachieved but this season is the total opposite. We're just about challenging for a champions league place but the league was already lost in September.
We have a potentially dangerous game against Madrid midweek with us almost certain to lose by a good margin given the nature of the Anfield fixture. This leaves us potentially facing the exit from the group stages and into the Europa league causing us to play Thursday nights and have an even more sluggish affect on the squad like we see with Spurs.
Now here's why I've quoted Penny. Since Dortmund lost to Bayern they are presently in the bottom three of the Bundesliga. Now when we appointed Rodgers he was firmly second choice behind Klopp.
If Dortmund sack Klopp and Liverpool lose to Chelsea and Madrid, I think the Liverpool board will sack Rodgers and move for Klopp in the international break.
This is the part you both call me crazy.
