    I'm a red through n' through. So is our las n' little one (bump).

    Best of luck with your Champions league final.

    As I've said I couldn't care either way. However, i'm leaning towards Liverpool on my swingometer.

    I find it hard not to like them. The way they play football is incredible. I can’t think of a team I’ve enjoyed watching as much. High tempo, no ego’s, a great bloke as manager, flair players who run themselves into the ground, a couple of brilliant attacking British full backs.

    I think even Man Utd fans would have to admit they like Klopp as a bloke & enjoy watching them play.

    Don’t particularly mind if Spurs win either. Pochettino’s done a great job too & is a likeable bloke & also gets the best out of his players. I’d like to see them both win a major trophy but obviously that’s not possible this season

    I honestly think that if the Board don't give Pochettino a serious amount of cash to strengthen the squad
    over the close season, he will walk. Be a shame really, because they are not that far off.

    I too love watching Liverpool on TV. Jurgen Klopp has got them playing some great stuff. He's qualified for
    six finals with his various clubs in the past and only won one. His enthusiasm for the game is infectious and although I would feel sorry for Pochettino after the job he's done at Spurs, I think and truly hope that Liverpool just shade it.

    I'm not bothered who wins, so long as the Scousers don't.

    Good luck to both teams except Liverpool.

    Dislike possibly as a result of the 39 Juventus supporters killed at the Heysel Stadium in Belgium, when charged at by a mob of Liverpool fans.

    I'm of an age that I witnessed both Hillsborough and Heysel happening live on tv. Obvs I have every sympathy with those that suffered first hand at the former, what riles me is the holier than thou attitude of the majority of every Liverpool supporter since, their victim mentality, their apparent monopoly on being unjustly treated. Hillsborough occurred via incompetence, Heysel occurred via mindless thuggish tribal violence with Liverpool then attempted to blame their charge on being intimidated by Juve fans/ police.

    Every Liverpool fan should be as ashamed of that day in their history as they should be angered by the lack of justice over Hillsborough. But they are not, and that disgraces them.

    I think most are tbf . Hooligsnism was an English thing then not solely a Liverpool trait .
    English clubs in Europe were causing havoc EU and domestic football ties .
    Those fans charging could just have easily been Man Utd fans or Chelsea fans in the same situation ,so to just blame mindless hooliganism on them is a cheap shot imo and let’s the other mindless thugs of other English clubs off the hook.
    It was known as the English disease not the Liverpool disease and before anybody says I’m defending them let me be clear I’m certainly no I’m just putting blame on mindless thugs not a certain section of our country.

    maybe, but we had a few english clubs in Europe at the time, don't remember any other 'Heysels'. I'd dispute it was a solely English disease at the time, the Dutch and Germans had a similar problem too, and unlike other clubs with a violence issue its their attempt at the moral high ground that grates with me.

    It was the perfect storm, hooligans inept policing and a crumbling ground and I’d argue that choose who’s English clubs fans were there in the same numbers similar would have happened.
    Yes there were other countries fans who were also hooligans but at the time not on the same scale . And they waited on the English fans because if their reputation. at that time most foreign clubs didn’t have manny fans following them away so must trouble happened in games v the English , dispute all you like but it was known at the time as the English disease that’s a fact .

    I was at Anfield in 82 and witnessed approx 200 hundred liverpool fans after the game running around looking to do bfc fans .
    The poor sod that got his back slashed with a Stanley knife the only photo of his wounds that I saw appeared on page five of a daily .
    Had it been Chelsea or Millwall in that era it would have been on the front and back pages .

    I knew a pool fan back in those days that used to join in with other ticket less fans that forced open gates to get into games .

    Hillsborough unfortunately became the perfect storm that killed innocents .
