ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

Being somewhat selective there. The RS got to the final and won it in 1984 so why not say 1977 to 1984. Maybe that is a bit too close to 1985 when the same team got to the final again but brought shame on the whole country.
I remember the finals were crap. 1977 was a fairly decent game but the 6 following finals all finished 1-0. Turgid stuff.
 

It just means the whole competition is a farce.

That Liverpool team shouldn’t be winning 6 games and the fact that they did just reiterates how poor the standard is.

All English clubs are miles ahead of everyone else.

Based on what we seen, we’d have beaten all 3 of those sides and this is the worst Everton team we’ve had for some time IMO.
Dont think Everton would of got those penalties and red cards .
 
Prediction for this weekend that Villa take them all the way before succumbing to some last minute winner. Media tugfest for Klopp, Liverpool, and Gerrard, with oats on the head all round and Gerrard auditioning for his future job.
Bang on. It will be a pundet/Media tugfest right from the start to finish . Then , there will be about 15 different stories about it on the Sky Ports App
 


I know that in hindsight this sounds crazy but when Tommy Smith scored the header (1977) I was really pleased for him.


A lot of Blues didn’t begrudge them their victory that night.

A lot even turned up at their parade and rally at St. George’s.

There was a festive atmosphere.

Then Emlyn Hughes took the mic and the days of the “friendly derby” were over.
 
Those teams all won cups when the PL wasn't as strong.

Football goes in circles especially in Europe, Italy hasn't won a CL since Inter in 2010, Madrid and Barca won the CL when the PL, Serie A was weak and Bayern won one out of that 6 year span when those 2 Spanish teams had stranglehold on the competition, those 2 Spanish teams had it so good.

It's the PL time now to be top of the food chain in Europe, it's like the dominant period England had when English clubs had the European Cup for 6 years in a row from 1977 to 1982.

No better time for Pep and City after a 5 year spend of £950 million to finally win one in these "turbulent times".
