      Liverpool fans should get behind Atletico

      We should throw our support behind Atletico in the champions league.

      Yes it would be great to see them dump Chelsea out but there is a greater purpose for us to back Atletico above the others.

      A club that has never won it but even more significant they have a manager who never won it. If any of the other 3 clubs win it, there managers, Ancelloti, Guardiola and the vile one will move on to being a 3 time winner of the European cup, a feat held by only 1 man, the great BOB PAISLEY

      An incredible feat really when you consider the opportunity's were far more limited back in his time. To be in it you had to win your league or the European cup itself. No finishing 2nd 3rd or 4th in your league. No having 6 games to finish top 2 in a group to progress to the knockouts. No it was done the hardest of hard ways and the 3 were done in a 4 year period 77 78 81.

      Chances are it cant last forever but lets wish it to last a little longer let us wish Bob to remain out on his own. So for the sake of SIR BOB....Come on Atletico!!

      Well said Brian.

      Obviously I want Atletico to smash Chelsea apart.  Don't think they will personally as they didn't do show much at home, but here's hoping.

      Aside from none of them equaling Sir Bob's record I feel a kinship with Atletico, the fans club with a smart young manager getting the best out of his limited resources instead of sack loads of money. Remind you of anyone?

      Also, how similar is the Spanish League standings?

      Athletico & Liverpool both win their respective leagues against the oligarchs & richest clubs in the world....Football clawing back its soul

      Great idea for a thread OP, cheers.
      I am fully behind Atletico, been following their progress all season on and off, it's a great story; their position in the league. It hasn't happened through chance.
      Personally I think you'll see a more direct attack of the Chelsea defence in the second leg, dirty tactics by Chelsea possible leading to a sending off of a Chelsea player.
      I think and hope both we and Atletico win against them, I think we both will too, comfortably.

      Net: £43,120,000

      Chelsea
      Spent: £112,772,000    
      Sold: £61,318,400

      Actually hope Chelsea go through and hope Real go through and then would love to see Real hammer the Chavs. Now that would really piss off Maureen.

      I would like to see Atletico beat Chelsea obviously. For every reason but mostly to do with football, honesty and fairness.
      Then for Atletico to pluck La Decima out of Real's hands and parade it around Madrid would be a nice touch. Give them some bragging rights that could last a few years.

      I hope Terry's ready to run on, and Atletico crush them at the end.

      Rent boys.

      *Edit: I didn't see the line up until I switched the game on. Apologies! :D*

      That's all we needed on Sunday, a bit of luck.
