It is in the stars

If you're not convinced that Liverpool can go all the way this season and lift the European Cup for a fifth time, then consider these facts.
In 1978, the year Liverpool won their second European Cup, Wales won the Rugby Union Grand slam,
Liverpool lost the League Cup final to the team who went on to win the League Championship and the Pope at the time sadly passed away.
And in 1981, the year Liverpool won the European crown for the third time, Prince Charles got married while Coronation Street's Ken and Deirdrie also tied the knot.
It just may be written in the stars that the Reds will end this campaign as Champions of Europe. Again.

They were massive even then. Most weeks their home games were the best attended in the whole of the country, and their visit brought the best attendances at away games even though Liverpool were winning everything in sight at the time. That must have really ****ed them off!

Its still in the stars but I just got this sent from a Newcastle fan....

closest Ive come to agreeing with a geordie.

There have been a whole host of omens circulating the internet about Liverpool’s chances of winning the Champions League. However, at St James Park we’ve found the most convincing one yet…

2001 Igor Biscan and Djimi Traore are Liverpool players. Liverpool DON’T win Champions League

2002 Igor Biscan and Djimi Traore are Liverpool players. Liverpool DON’T win Champions League

2003 Igor Biscan and Djimi Traore are Liverpool players. Liverpool DON’T win Champions League

2004 Igor Biscan and Djimi Traore are Liverpool players. Liverpool DON’T win Champions League

2005 Igor Biscan and Djimi Traore are Liverpool players.
Champions League Winners ????

I have a feeling that with Liverpool winning everything in sight as you said John that might just have p****d the mancs off even more?

I find it quite incredible that someone would come out with a remark like that. Not only did Manchester United lose some great players in that tragedy England lost them also. I don't know if anyone remembers seeing Duncan Edwards play but he seemed destined to be one of Englands brightest stars. No matter how much I dislike a team, and I make no bones about it, I have always disliked Liverpool, I would never gloat about their tragedy such as what happened at Hillsborough. I'm retiring from this particular thread because I believe it has sunk to a depth that I do not wish to be involved in. Remember Bagpuss, that Liverpool FC will be travelling by plane over the coming years when playing in Europe. How would you feel if a similar tragedy happened to your team and someone made such a callous remark as you have. I sincerely hope that your words do not come back to haunt you.
