Sometimes I’m just ashamed to be a Liverpool fan

By: Brian | March 8th, 2007

Liverpoolfc.tv is at it again, though this time I don’t really have any beef with the site, but instead, I’m hugely disappointed in my fellow fans. The site has a vote up asking us fans who we would like to play in the next round and PSV Eindhoven is so far the overwhelming leader with nearly twice as many votes as the number two, Valencia. There’s no other reason to explain it other than PSV Eindhoven is probably the ‘easiest’ draw. (No offense to them or their fans, but let’s be honest with ourselves.)

What kind of crap is that? It’s borderline cowardly. I mean, I understand why Chelsea is last, not because we fear them, but we’re just kind of tired of always playing them. I don’t care who we play because if they’re good enough and we advance, we’re going to have to play them anyhow. Valencia was second on the list for similar reasons as well, that being Rafa’s experience with the club. Then you have Roma, a little bit of history there, but again, not exactly the strongest side left in this competition.

A lot of people were happy when we drew Benfica last year and we all know what happened then. Have we already forgotten 2005 where we drew Juventus and Chelsea, respectively. I have a feeling fate is going rear it’s ugly head and we’ll get AC Milan. Good. And if it’s Man U, so be it. We can beat anybody, we proved it by taking out Barca. Bring’em on. It’s the Champion’s League Trophy for God’s sake, not the ‘kinda good’ League Trophy.

  You’re ashamed to be a Liverpool fan because other Liverpool fans want Liverpool to progress as far as possible in the Champions League?

  Good one.

  I can think of two events in Liverpool’s history that you should be ashamed of rather than worry about the Champions League draw!!!!

  Yes, hiring Houllier and selling Robbie Fowler were sad, sad days.

  But we DO get the ‘kinda good’ trophy until we can finish. I love my guys and think they play with more heart and soul than anyone, and often with more skill. But the sad truth, visible even to the most faithful, is that we do give the ball away and we have the little problem of actually getting INTO the net instead of near it.
  Having said that, there is the point about squads gearing up for the better teams and underestimating the weaker. Hopefully the point you were making about 2005.

  By the way, does anyone know how to include where I’m “posting from?” How did you all get those flags and countries in there? Thanks.

  Andy - what are the two events? I can think of one but not another.
