Spike 5,107 Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 58 minutes ago, Lucas said: Chelsea Liverpool for me. '03 - When you think back to that last game of the season where they both played in to see who got the 4th Champions League spot, it's just grown from that. I mean, to consistently meet in the Champions League year upon year was what really defined the rivalry. Mourinho v Benitez, a battle of two master tacticians that didn't like eachother. '05 Semi Final 2nd leg and the Luis Garcia 'ghost goal', Jose losing his shit '06 Drawn in the same group. Two bore draws '07 Semi Final, Liverpool winning on pens, some say they have Chelsea's number in this Comp. '08 Quarter Final, Chelsea finally gain revenge in extra time, Lampard cries. '09 Quarter Final, and that amazing 4-4 2nd leg that swung one way and the other with Chelsea coming out on top. All this was just the Champions League. Then there's been the FA Cup final, League Cup final in Cardiff, numerous Premier League games, Gerrard's slip, Demba Ba, Chelsea signing Torres, Benitez v Jose, Suarez biting Ivanovic etc You get the drift. And still some Liverpool fans will say there was no rivalry at this time, I think mainly because if it isn't traditional or local it can't exist. Tell that to the players! Also the first game after the Torres transfer was....Liverpool v Chelsea with the former winning at Stamford Bridge no less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness it wasn't a big rivalry, but definitely a good one while it lasted. Liverpool and Leeds back in the Shankly Revie days was another good one.

They definitely cared, you both did. There was a real edge about it all the time and the atmosphere was electric. The games were pretty much always close, they had this knack of knowing how to play you. I remember that game as well. Torres should never have played, it was too soon. Wrecked his confidence. I also remember when there were serious rumours Gerrard was going to Chelsea, or Jose bid for him. Dunno how close that was to happening but it seemed incredible at the time that it could have given the rivalry of both clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumour is that some of the lesser members of the Liverpudlian community threatened Gerrard's family members. Is it true? Don't know. Is it possible? Maybe. The Torres situation was painful to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that one too, Carragher took him out with a clean tackle early on. Torres looked like he was going to start blubbering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slip against Ba wasn't even the first time he did something like that. He also backpassed for England and Liverpool to Henry which lead to a goal both times and backpassed to Drogba which lead to a goal. He was also a mad diver. Great player no doubt but a list of mistakes longer that the line of pill Devil Dick shelves on sunday nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't moan at him at the moment even though he hates Man United because he is the manager of my team here in Scotland, Glasgow Rangers and has them sitting on top of the league and 7 points away from being this year's Scottish Champions, not bad for a novice manager.
