Jan McNulty Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Did you see the Podcast man (sorry I don't know his name) on Breakfast News? What a lovely interview - I think he, like most of us, thought they had no chance! Fantastic scenes at the end!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridiem Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 No, I missed that! But thanks for posting the full time scenes. Sheer joy!! I never doubted for a moment... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangorballetboy Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Of course, the last British team to beat Barca in a CL semi-final went on to lift the trophy. A good omen? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I saw Liverpool had scored very early on but then was completely engrossed in the Janet Baker documentary on iPlayer. Very surprised and pleased to hear the score at the end of the documentary, with still a couple of minutes to go. Hoping very much Liverpool win the final, particularly if Spurs manage to beat Ajax. And apologies Bridie, I’m afraid I’ll have to admit to googling YNWA and felt suitably humbled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a problem in that my brother supports Spurs, so if they get through it will be a bit tricky. I'm also supposed to be going to R&J with a friend on the night of the final... oh well. I hope she won't mind too much but football is definitely going to take precedence! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 What an incredible night for LFC!! No matter who you support, you surely have to admire them and be overawed by this achievement! My Scouser hubby is 'dead proud' as they say, and rightly so!! Even if LFC don't win the final, they have done incredibly well to get there so should always keep their heads held high, as the song goes.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 For those of you who haven't seen the goals....here they are. I must have watched this at least six times since last night, and no doubt will many more! That last one was just amazing...I've never seen anything like it!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Still hoping the match will be showed on terrestrial tv but no luck tonight so far!! Yes what a terrific outcome but not untypical of Liverpool I've seen them in finals before where they have looked like they were well on the way to losing only to win against the odds! Liverpool has been my team since the Autumn of 1969 when some rough tough scouser kids taught me how to play football ( well after a fashion) in Sefton Park as part of the games lesson. I then had to consult my father ( who played for Woking FC) on the real rules! But in the three years I was in Liverpool I learned what team loyalty was so could never support another team since then! Had great fun teasing all the Arsenal supporter kids when I lived in London though!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Hee hee have just this moment heard Tottenham are in the Final against Liverpool ....another exciting semi final What a shame the final is in Madrid! Well of course want Liverpool to do it but as Tottenham have never won it before perhaps won't mind too much if they manage to do it as long as it's an exciting match!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's a bit closer than Moscow, where the last all-English CL final was held. Didn't start until 11.45 p.m. local time so with extra time and penalties we didn't get back to the hotel until about 4 a.m.! At least there was time then for a few beers in the hotel bar with supporters of both teams! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Do they play the final in the country which won the previous year or is there a sort of round Europe thing or is it even done by ballot? Can't remember now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Just hoping there’ll be another change to the title of the thread tonight and Arsenal (and Chelsea) are added. Given Arsenal’s ability to waste so many chances in recent weeks, I’m not greatly optimistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Looks like Arsenal are through to the other cup...Europa League one which is good for them at last ..now can Chelsea get into that one as well!! It's gone to extra time so another exciting finish! Great for English football at the moment if Chelsea make it through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Yes what a finish I always have to go out of the room when it's that close I just cannot stand the tension.....just wait for my partner to yell "Y-----E-------S " or there's a rather long silence!!!

JohnS Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Virgin internet on the train home is almost as slow as the Sunday service crawling to Milton Keynes so I can’t see what Jan has posted above. But many congratulations to Liverpool ... and not just because the thought of Spurs being European Champions would have been too much for an Arsenal supporter, particularly given Wednesday’s disappointments against Chelsea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
