We played em off the park at home and the emphisis was on them to come at us on their turf. 3-0 in total Ha Ha Ha
is BillE a girls name? cos you know Fuc# all about footy.......
I dont understand how you can say neutrals cringe? If it was arsenal or united it would be tactical genius, but since its rafa, theres more jumping on the rafa out band wagon. Rafa has done better than wenger since arriving at anfield, FACT. but i dont hear wengers name being called
Rafa Benitez is your man though.
At the risk of getting all Barry Glendenning on you, I will address two of your points Cory.
1. YOU need to look up the word "neutral" in the dictionary. I do not support Liverpool and I do not support Inter Milan. That is the definition of neutrality.
2. The Gaffer wrote a quite favorable piece congratulating Liverpool which also appeared on this blog. All that I said was that they were effective but boring. So, in fact, EPLTalk is tipping slightly in Liverpool's direction if anything.
Tim, If you turn off your crazy Liverpool supporting lens for a second and read beyond the first paragraph, you will note that I said it was only expected that they would come out and play for a draw.
That doesn't mean that I have to choke down a shit sandwich and praise it profusely.
I point this out as you have taken it upon yourself to write an article under the assumption that the "Neutrals" that watched last nights game all are of the same opinion as you.
You have then attempted to contrive an excuse that as you are neither a fan of Liverpool or Inter Milan you are in fact in a position to comment as "A Neutral" (notice the emphasis on A Neutral) yet have delivered an article stating as though this was the opinion of "Neutrals".
Please make up your mind, either you are making a statement through your own opinion (Neutral) or you have been nominated to speak and comment on behalf of all Neutrals (i seriously doubt it).
Alternatively we can only decipher from reading your "article" that it is simply conjecture as to the opinion of how "Neutrals" might have perceived last nights game.
Ultimately as we are left ponder from this "article" as to the "author's" reasoning and to how his opinnion was reached we can only conclude that either the "author" has simply formed the opinion through that of biase, or the thought process used when writing the article was flawed, naive and distincly amatuerish.
In a nutshell, the "article" is flawed, amatuerish, naive and possibly biase, a very poor "article" from a very poor "author".
Liverpool were clearly the better of the two teams and if Torres had been present in that side we would have had the finisher that we so desperately needed to clinch another UCL title. Milan had two chances in the game which they took, very similar to Liverpool's champions league exploits of two seasons previous. All in all the two final's evened themselves out.
Winning the Champions League "by luck" does not make Benitez a better manager than Wenger, however, by acheiving the feat of reaching two finals in 3 years and consistantly reaching the knock-out stages of the tournament does. This is amplified when you consider the side present in the '05 final consisted of Djimi Traore and other Houllier signings of similar calibre.
The definition of "Neutral" or "Neutrals" is that you do not support either side in a conflict. I do not support either Liverpool or Inter and am therefore neutral.
I do have biases, as does anyone, but I don't see how they are relevant here. I don't really see how commenting that the second half of that match was extremely dull is biased.
If you wish to discuss biases, how about a bleating horde senselessly berating anyone who even dares be objective about their club's performance.
SORRY FOR DOUBLE POST I FORGOT TO TYPE A NAME
you can be as objective as you like but if you don't like the criticsm dont post your opinion on a web site that promotes a response, and as for "a horde bleating senselessly" it seems that rather that the horde are just pointing out the frailties of your opinion to which you have taken exception.
You have also failed to grasp the context of my comment thus identifying your inability to compose a thoughful response in defence of your poor article.
At which point did i say i was an "expert on great writing"? Yet again the "neutral" taking it upon himself to make a sweeping statement on behalf of "neutrals", you must have such a big ego to think you are the mouthpiece for every "neutral" in the land and that your opinion represents "neutrals".
at some point Liverpool attacked during the second leg hence the 0-1 score (the clue is in the score line), or did Inter score an own goal?
The other point is if you have an advantage why risk that advantage by exposing your defense? Maybe if Arsenal or Man U had learnt to be bit cleverer when they had an advantage it might be a case that Man U had more than 2 winners title's and Arsenal could at least boast 1, as it is there is only 1 English club that can claim any real consistency of success in the competition and we all know who that is, for all the bleating that envious opposition fans make there is only 1 vital stat and that is 5.
You are the butchers dog of journalism.
Any ol fool can work out that the European game is all about protecting what you have, when you have it. Perhaps this article stems from a deficiency with the team you support BillE in that they cannot protect what they have, instead going gung ho and blasting a rather large hole in their foot?? Could it be that your team can only play one way and as a result get knocked out at teh qtr final/semi final stage??? Could that be it.
Any football fan worth their salt would be commending a professional performance in knocking out a classic Italian team?? But oh no, what you want is a team, to go out like headless chickens anfd come off losers. AC Milan 3, man utd 0 anyone???
bring on any of the British teams, theyll be sent on they're way like all the rest of them, and people like you will be made to look like the fools you truly are.
