Can LFC be compared to Mayo or is it something different ?
Was that Garth Crooks who asked that question?

Armagh only have to worry about choking on fish fingers.
and people say Liverpool supporters are obsessive
Liverpool haven't choked before because they haven't been near enough to the Premier league title in something like a quarter of a century.

Liverpool hammered their neighbours at away in the last 12 months. Mayo............ Yeah, I think you have something there Seafroid!
Could Galway be Arsenal. Won a title in 98 and a title after that. Have been building on youth ever since?
What's MWR?
I see where you're coming from Seafoic.Both Mayo and Liverpool are synonomous with Kings called Kenny
I'd actually support Mayo in this one. And go to KFC after.
Fearon makes the odd visit to KFC ....

Bertrand has another theory for Liverpool's demise: "What happened is that their confidence has been shot. It has been so long since they had a setback, that when they had one, the wheels totally went off the wagon. Cf. with the Arsenal Invincibles, who were never the same after they lost their unbeaten record."
And Mayo were similar last year
I really enjoyed the day Mayo destroyed Galway's wagon last year.
As a 'pool fan and a Mayo man I have to say the Mayo thing is far far worse. More personal for a start.
But then again I remember Liverpool winning all their European Cups and several Div. 1s and other trophies.
Mayo = Benfica. Well able to beat their neighbours but perennial runners-up when they go to the next level. The spectre of a great team of the past, back-to-back winners that they were, and the more recent success of their neighbours in far fewer final appearances only exacerbates the pain. There's even some green in there amidst the red.
Good luck to Benfica against Seville.

We have a couple of successes under our belt, one of which involved a team with several legends of the game that had the misfortune to come into its prime at the same time as a number of other great teams. Recent events saw a stunning rise to challenge which ended in a crushing reality check. So that makes us . . . Leeds United. The colours work pretty well there too.

I wish!
The Irish rugby team vs NZ would be similar enough to Liverpool this year as well.
So close but the other team just had too much time at the end.

No, it's only 24 years since Liverpool won the league. Ireland never beat the All Blacks.
but it was based on the back pass as well!
Liverpool this year kind of reminded me of Down of 2010. Down punched well above their weight to get to the All-Ireland final but ultimately fell at the last post. You have to admire them both for getting so far.
Mayo Benfica lose another Final.
