Match We can be heroes (again) Ajax versus Tottenham Hotspur CL Semi Final Wed 8th May

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I like a good firework display as much as the next guy but I hope that the behaviour from the Ajax 'ultras' (i.e. stupid, inbred, spastic cunts) gives the lads even more motivation to beat those clog wearing dickheads tonight.

On a more serious note, I hope that all of our travelling fans stay safe tonight. Hopefully, the Dutch police aren't as fucking useless at the Italians.

COYS.

I have never looked too much into Heysel (or Hillsborough) but honestly were Liverpool fans really at fault for Heysel?

On the night,yes.They kicked off and a wall collapsed and killed people.
That said, it could be argued that them(and other fans of english clubs) had been treated disgustingly by Italian fans and Police for years.Not condoning what happened on the night, but the roots of it went back years IMHO

As someone who wasn't alive in the 70s or 80s, i can confirm that you need no experience of Liverpool in their heyday in order to detest them with a passion.

Liverpool fans are the most smug, sanctimonious, fart-huffing twats in football. They deserve stuff because they are liverpool, and as a football club they are morally better than all the others. Young fans who have never seen them win a title exude this as much as any of the older ones. And the media bias is obvious, blatant and skin-crawlingly irritating. I came to realise all these things in the 2013/14 season, where the media were noshing off liverpool from day one and instantly calling them title contenders (they do this every time liverpool open the season with a win).

The worst thing is, Liverpool fans don't understand why everyone hates them. They genuinely cannot fathom how anyone could dislike their club. That is their entire problem.

The worst thing is that that attitude creates ridiculous belief and atmosphere, as seen yesterday.

Yep.They genuinely believe they are every neutral fans choice to win the league this year.
They don't get it.

Yeah, believing they're they're going to win something translates to them having a better chance of winning something. As irritating as they are, their attitude plays a huge part in them pulling off results like they did yesterday. Only Man Utd have had similar belief at any point in my memory

I was explaining this to a young un(i say young,he is 30...) at work today.The media love in back then was unbearable,and you know its still there ,just waiting to go all over board once again .
I remember after Heysel, the club made a statement blaming the trouble of national front Supporters of West ham and Chelsea...Not one person in the media picked them up on it. And the club have never retracted that comment.They were beyond criticism over anything.

I remember that it was fucking unbearable. Every other cunt wore a Liverpool shirt.
 
Go online and there is very little about this game. My timeline is absolutely full of Liverpool and EL semis for tomorrow. Only one's pushing out any info in the media is Spurs, Ajax twitter feeds and Alisdair Gold!! It is tonight right, I haven't got the weeks mixed up?

It pains me to say but as a fanbase we could really use that kind of attitude. Belief from our players is the only reason we are still in this champions league at all.

That wasn't a magpie funeral - they were just testing to see if it was dead enough to eat yet.

Probably right.

On Friday, we saw a pretty grim ritual on our garden of a magpie chasing a smaller bird, pecking it to death and then tearing its flesh off leaving blood, bones, feathers and other bits all over the garden.

Also left me with two traumatised young kids.

Stick that in your sandwich.

UEFA were most culpable for holding it in such a dilapidated stadium with inadequate segregation. Both sets of fans behaviour contributed but the situation should never have been created for it to happen. The whole organisation around football matches was very haphazard and amateurish compared to today.
