Europa League 2015/2016

Of the top of my head I could name at least half a dozen German clubs (us, Kaiserslautern and Gladbach probably being the most popular ones) and way more all around the globe which adapted it as one of their songs over the years. It is one if not the most widespread song in football.

In Dortmund it became a ritual (it is not really about the song there but more to symbolize the unity of the support before the matches) in the beginning of the 90´s and I know that they used to be an understanding between Dortmund and Celtic for the Dortmund support to not sing it in direct duels. I actually thought something similar would be in place for Pool aswell.

While it is understandable on an United forum to create negative responses, it is nonetheless a very powerful ritual to have 80k singing with one voice as loud as they can. I actually know only very few neutrals who did not get goosebumps in the stadium while experiencing that.

Hey, whatever lights your candle … if you guys get something out of singing that particular song, then more power to you. As Liverpool fans have been singing it on the terraces since the 60s, when Gerry and the Pacemakers (a local band) covered the original Rogers and Hammerstein tune, the majority of English football fans would most closely associate it with Liverpool. I pointed it out to some fans who were not aware of this association, which is all I said in my comment.
 
That wasn't a powerful shot, most good GK's would have stopped that. Weidenfeller's time is up.
 
Origi has been great. Glad Klopp had the balls to drop Sturridge cos it's paid off.
 
So this is the Dortmund side that everybody on here has been wanking themselves silly about all year then?

I'm underwhelmed.

Doesn't that scenario mean 4th place becomes a Europa League spot if neither of those two finish in the top four?

If they both win and neither are in the top 4 then wouldn't only place 1st in the league be automatic qualification and 2nd place be play-offs and third and fourth would both become Europa League places as UEFA have said no more than 4 teams from one country? Anyone know :confused:

City aint winning the champions league...otherwise it could be a real cock of a scenario!!

Hopefully Dortmund get their sh!T together to stop this at source though.
Although there are still another 2 rounds yet!
 
This Castro and Mikitargarian turning almost everything into shit.
 
Dortmund needs Gundogan or put Kagawa in, heck put the American Pulisic in. That midfield with Durm and Castro is creative trash. Tuchel learned nothing from the Bremen match, when Kagawa, Pulisic and Ramos saved the day.

They haven't said that, you can have 5 teams from one country.

We only have to worry, if City AND Pool win their cups.

But let's worry about us actually coming 4th first, if we lose to Tottenham, it's all back off again!
 
Saw our CL hopes flashing before my eyes as I saw Origi running towards the goal one on one........ :nervous:
 
Dortmund needs to step it up big time in the second half.
 
That's a huge chance. Would have changed the whole tie if that went in. Dortmund poor so far
 
Pisczek is not exactly an offside trap specialist. Second time he played Origi onside. That´s probably one of those nuances that Klopp can exploit. Seems Pisczek has a tendency to track back instead of just putting a guy miles offside.
 
Need to get them running at the Liverpool back 4 more. Get Kagawa on.

I thought UEFA allowed up to five teams from one country in the Champions League as a maximum for a season.

Yep I was wrong as @Sandikan pointed out above. Anyone else want to be schooled (like I just was) can read all about it here: http://www.theguardian.com/football...s-if-english-teams-win-both-european-trophies
