Never were truer words spoken.

And it gets worse. Having realised that accusations of spitting on the Hillsborough Memorial won't work even for the Daily Mail, these self-righteous, oh so precious Scousers have managed to take their victim mentality to new heights are now trying to say that Chelsea fans singing "Oh Steven Gerard, you've done it again" were singing "Oh Steven Gerrard, your cousin is dead".

I have to ask, what the f**k is wrong with those people? And try as I might, all I can come up with is that it's the same old blame old culture that's been associated with Liverpool FC for as long as I can remember, the same culture that prompted John Smith into attempting to blame Chelsea and Millwall fans for Heysel.

f**k 'em. I mean, seriously, f**k 'em.

Even their closest neighbours have had enough of them ...

Ill tell you what makes these results even better, the arrogance of all opposing fans singing 'you're not special anymore' to Jose early on in the season. Haven't heard these calls recently, not after beating city and Liverpool home and away, betting arsenal by 6, losing just 1 of the games against the top 8, not to mention cruising past galatasary, turning round a near impossible result against psg and stopping one of the most potent teams in Europe, one leading the way in a league consisting of Real Madrid and Barcelona, in thier own back yard, and all of this with three strikers that, at times, give little to no outlet. Jose once again proving the doubters wrong and proving time after time that he is still very much, the special one.

you'd be surprised though...was at train platform at villa a few weeks back and they were giving the 'you're not special anymore' chant, loads ...amazing giving how sh*t they've been for years and how much help they had in that game...would make me laugh if they went down...without those three points against us, they'd really be up against it

That's onw club I'd love to see go down. Boring club boring fans a big club that offers notting

Rodgers said we parked two buses...

 

Well yeah... one was bound to have all its tyres nicked!

Yep...The big show outside of Anfield b4 the match....Looked like they really believed ( as i did) that this 3 points would be a certain prem winning 3 points......The tears AFTER the match by the same scouse boys was truly truly truly satisfying to you, me everything that is chelsea...Wonderous result that made me change my pants twice....If only Nando had put that one away  the day could have been slightly better......LIVERPOOL 0   CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE 2......By the way ROGERS......We parked two buses and SCORED 2 goals...There IS method in the madness........LOL      LOL      LOL    LOL

So the buses got one goal each. Sign them up sign them up

And the other would have its windows stoned in by the scallies :)

f**k 'em. I mean, seriously, f**k 'em.

 

Reading a few posts on that forum it really is quite laughable, and unbelievable, how they have managed to turn themselves into the victims and even go as far as to suggest we are 'vermin' and that we should be be banned from their ground. The worrying thing is that I think they actually have made themselves believe it.

 

Let's be completely clear here- the violence started because Liverpool lost and their fans couldn't take the banter outside the ground. No other reason.

 

There are videos on Youtube of the away end singing 'Steven Gerrard, he's done it again' .

 

 

The claims we were singing anything about Gerrards cousin is embarrassing to be honest. Only Liverpool could try and rewrite history in such a way.

 

As for the spitting on the memorial- it's just as ridiculous. There fighting started immediately outside the away end turnstiles, not by the memorial, as all the photos of the trouble show.

 

For Liverpools version of events to be true, one Chelsea fan would have to have turned left from the turnstiles while the other three thousand turned right. He would have had to walk to the memorial whilst the Liverpool fans all walk the opposite way and spit on the memorial in front of the oncoming Liverpool fans. He would then have had to have walked back round the corner in front of the away end turnstiles before the Liverpool fans started to attack him. Just sit and think about how realistic that sequence of events is for a second....

 

Only Liverpool fans....

It shows Liverpool's naivety if they think they can only have one tactic,one formation and one style of football.

It perhaps shows that Rodgers is a limited manager. The sign of a good manager is being able to adapt and change your tactics to the opposition. All the world class managers do it.

Rodger's head is too big for his body.

Look at Rodgers, all suited and booted with a lovely new set of luminous gnashers - he arrived at Anfield that day expecting to be sealing the title, ready for the photo opportunities. Mourinho, on the other hand, looks like he just got out of bed with a hangover. Classic!

f**k, haven't felt this gutted about a loss for a while, Jose had his tactics spot on and I think we (myself inculded) were very naive going into this game. However regardless of what happens this has been a better season than I could have ever expected and I'm really proud of my team. Looking forward to some classic Anfield european nights next year!

Ronay's write up is worth a read as ever.

 

The title race is not over for Liverpool. A defeat by a Chelsea team of impossibly cussed defensive qualities does not represent a dead end: it just felt like one on an afternoon of expertly enacted constriction at Anfield. At the end of which reports of José Mourinho's demise appear to have been exaggerated.

 

For yesterday's man, Chelsea's manager appears to have had a particularly good few days. And for a man who had apparently almost given up on this match, Chelsea's manager appeared to care about it quite a lot in stoppage time as he greeted Williian's second goal in the 2-0 victory with a furious touchline dance, banging his chest, waggling his arms and communing with the delirious supporters in their sunlit corner.

 

Chelsea will probably not end up title-winners this season but they would seem to have had a fairly decisive say at the last in who will, after a brilliantly engineered defensive performance. The debate on what kind of spectacle we are allowed to expect or demand will continue in the background to this game but on this occasion, as in Madrid last Tuesday, Mourinho's team has exposed an opponent's weaknesses through relentlessly focusing on their own strengths.

 

The fact remains Chelsea have failed to concede a goal in 180 minutes of football away from home in the past six days against the top teams in La Liga and the Premier League. In the process they have not only stopped three strikers with 90 goals this season between them from scoring, they have also limited Diego Costa, Luis Suárez and Daniel Sturridge to only one shot on target.

 

"We can beat your bus," the home fans sang at one point and Liverpool's fans remained brilliantly united in their support for their team's attempt to penetrate the blue forest. In the wider world the usual buzzwords have already been klaxoning around the place – bus parked, enemy of football, anti-whatnot – rallying calls of those unwilling to grant credit for what Mourinho, master of the defensive disciplines, does so well.

 

In fairness, this degree of defensive organisation and physical resilience really translates as a spectacle only in the flesh. But it is a necessary part of the wider picture, like it or not, just as the attacking brilliance of a previous age – Diego Maradona springs to mind – was given its lustre by the savage physicality of the times.

 

Without this kind of extreme, compressed defensive discipline to overcome, where is the fun, or indeed the nobility, in winning? Victory is not supposed to come cheaply. Before this match Chelsea had scored three times away from home since 1 March and yet they are now four wins and a couple of improbable results elsewhere from winning the Premier League and Champions League. If you cannot see the beauty in that – beautiful defensive engineering, beautiful chutzpah – you may be watching the wrong sport.

 

For all that, Liverpool will feel agonisingly hard done by, their relentless commitment to attack deserving of some luck to go with the ambition. Mourinho may have snuck a suckerpunch below the league leader's guard but Brendan Rodgers's team gave everything, running themselves to the point of exhaustion and doing justice, as they always would, to the wonderful noise around Anfield throughout this match.

 

On a lovely warm spring afternoon Anfield was once again crackling around its corrugated stands. For all the talk of bare bones and second strings Chelsea fielded a team of full internationals, with a solid-looking central fulcrum in Mikel John Obi and the excellent Nemanja Matic, who levered himself around the pitch to great telescopic purpose, the most tactful of destroyers. Behind him the 20-year-old Czech Tomas Kalas, asked to mark the Premier League's leading scorer away from home on his first senior start, had a superbly mobile and decisive match.

 

Liverpool have often managed to blow away the opposition in the first 30 minutes at home. So Chelsea used spoiling tactics, taking a minute to faff about over their first goal-kick, then another to reset after an early foul. And even as Liverpool settled into their role, dominating possession and territory, the eye was continually drawn to Mourinho's interferences from the touchline.

 

The opening goal when it came was cruel. Steven Gerrard slipped and was left struggling on the floor as Demba Ba, who had up until that point played most of the half scrabbling on his backside like a man enthusiastically mastering the basics of break-dancing, carried the ball forward and slipped it expertly under Simon Mignolet.

 

And so it carried on, a match to crick the neck, with Chelsea's attacks limited to swift and threatening counterattacks. With 32 minutes left Rodgers played his attacking hand, bringing on Daniel Sturridge to play with Suárez, albeit – whisper it – both of Liverpool's strikers have experienced a slight tensing with the finish line in sight.

 

Sturridge has scored only once at Anfield since the start of last month. Suárez has only two goals in six Premier League games and, oddly enough, two goals at Anfield since New Year's Day: evidence of a more condensed approach from visiting teams, closing down the defensive wormholes in which he thrives.

 

In the end, Liverpool could not find another gear and foundered trying to unpick a performance of almost perverse defensive solidity. Do not call it anti-football: this was simply football.
