5 Euro Cups and counting  ;D

The new Champions League schedule for the first leg has been released. Liverpool has drawn TNS from Wales. Looking forward to another great year.

Holy crap. How did I miss this thread???

And yes. I wish I have that CL final on tape. Probably could get it off the net somehow though.

Gerrard =  awesome captain.

And death to Man U. I foresee the downward spiral of the Gunners. (I'll wait until first game of the season to see if I change my mind, depending who Wenger brings in) And Chelski is Chelski, rolling in money but they are class, even if their ethics are questionable.

I have all the goals from the CL final on video as well as some great compilations from the game. They are readily available on the net and if you need help finding them I can point you in the right direction. Here's a link to the Radio City (Liverpool radio station) coverage of the game set to "We Can Be Heroes" Awesome. I also have video of the fans singing YNWA during the final match against Chelski during the CL.

Here is an awesome compilation of the greatest sporting event I have ever witnessed. It's the Champions League final with the Radio City commentary (so exciting!). First one is 80 MB, second is 40 MB for users with slower connections.

And here is a clip of the fans singing You'll Never Walk Alone during half time of the final leg against Chelsea. Sends chills down my spine. If only sports in North America could ever have this kind of atmosphere   :

I'm a fan of a certain song in 'honour' of the Blackburn Rovers...

Couldn't have said it any better!!

Great site RyanNS!!!

But, "You'll Never Walk Alone " can only sound like magic when sung by the Bhoys from Glagow

Liverpool ROCKS

I can't wait to go back there at Christmas and see the new silverware! That CL Final was probably one of the best soccer matches I have ever seen. 2005-2006 is going to be a good year for the Reds.

Liverpool wishes it were the real reds...

I still remember all the words to another great football song of the real reds...

And just to clear something up, no, I am not a bandwagon ManU fan because it is trendy to be one. I have been a ManU fan since I was living in wales for a year back as a kid, and Ryan Giggs was a 'national' hero.

I've heard that the Celtic fans do sing a different, maybe slower rendition. I would very much like to see/hear it because I find it one of the most moving and powerful songs ever. Just don't count on me ever cheering for them though. Rangers all the way when it comes to Scottish football  ;D

 

[RyanNS]

On another note, does anyone know what its like trying to get tickets to a Liverpool, or any Premiership game for that matter? Next to impossible or can it be done? I remember when I was in Ireland for a few weeks I say adverts for trips to games in England for reasonable prices but I never really looked into it. Was wondering if anyone had any first hand experiences?

Yes its crazy haha. Do you think this is crazy because Liverpool were once considered a Catholic team and because the Rangers are Protestant?

Have you ever seen the Tottenham win the league?
Have you ever seen the Tottenham win the league?
Have you ever seen the Tottenham,
Ever seen the Tottenham,
Have you ever seen the Tottenham win the league?


Away in a manger,
No crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus looked up and he said,
We hate Tottenham, and we hate Tottenham.

We had joy, we had fun,
We had Tottenham on the run,
But the joy didn't last,
Because the b*st*rds ran too fast

What do you think....does it have to do with the history of the fans from Glasgow Celtic and the way they emigrated similar to the People who moved to Liverpool.....

My goodness, lads hit this bhoy with a Blarney stone. . .

Hey Rye, on a lighter note, did you get my file?  I think I am internet challenged tonight, tried twice via hotmail, then  I just went with my Yahoo addy.

let me know if it made it!

cheers
