I personally don't care at all. If it were a PL title I'd probably think differently like back in 13/14, but the CL? I can't say I'm too bothered. I suppose the fact that I've got things to worry about in life also contributes, too.

Being favorites when you've done nothing of note recently in Europe makes zero sense.If you choose to believe what media/bookie blindly like that then I suppose there is no convincing you. This is exactly the same when PSG was touted as a favorite too whereas they've done feck all in recent years too.
In terms of probabilities you're absolutely right but teams as average as Liverpool did manage to make miracles before. We'll see what happens, I pray to God you're right, I've been poisoned enough on social media this morning.
Went to stick 20 quid on them to win it as an insurance bet. Couldn't believe it when I saw they were the favourites, not much point now.
Hardly a surprise considering they're already in the final while Real/Bayern still have hurdles they need to overcome. You'll get much better odds when their opponent is confirmed. Think they'll come in about par with Bayern whilst being underdogs vs Real.
My GOAT is the only hope I have now. I wouldn't trust Bayern to deal with Liverpool.
Save me one last time, Ronaldo!
Yep
But still not good enough odds for a £20 bet to be considered anything near an insurance for them winning.
I'm close to imposing a total media blackout at Chez Monty.
Alan fecking Green - which IS his name apparently, finished last night with ''I don't really need to be paid for this.''
He's right like & should say it a lot more often, but I'm still writing to the BBC Trust about impartiality today.

Don't kid yourself Scouce, whilst last nights result was fantastic for Liverpool and I believe you will beat them in Rome too , they are , or at least last night they were the worse team I have seen in a CL semi ever.
City ( who I despise even more than Liverpool) would have battered them and not conceded.
Let's face it Liverpool rode their luck v City and well done , but with that back four and the keeper it will be a long trip to Kiev .
No sour grapes the front 3 ( well 2 really) are brilliant but even you will admit the midfield is bang average and the rest well.
What I do concede though is people forget you have a small squad due to serious injuries so another big well done to the manager ,who even I like .
That’s not how insurance bets work. It’s not how much you gain by Liverpool winning the Champions League, it’s about paying the £20 to jinx it.
I bet you're the sort of person who wouldn't give Roma a chance if they had lost 2-0.
Just the thought of them going to Kiev with all the buildup and hype to it makes me nauseous. Please Roma, man the feck up and knock those lot out at your own stadium
Get off your high horse
Last night was depressing viewing, slight bit of hope at the end with the two Roma goals, but I reckon Liverpool could win over there and Salah will likely score. Had it finished 5-0 I wouldn't even have bothered watching the second leg, to be honest.
We’ll win the FA Cup and they’ll be put to the sword by a top team in the final, and all of a sudden they’ve gone a 6th season in a row cupless looking up at us yet again. Then all you pansies can rest easy.
Here’s a funny question - would you rather they don’t win the CL and we don’t win the FA Cup, or we win the Cup and they also win the CL?
This is how I want to feel, and how I usually do, but something about this run of theirs just has me feeling uneasy.
Honestly it's all down to Salah, take him out and I'm not even slightly worried, but that's the difference a single player can make to a team.
Why bother watching the first leg? Every man and his dog knew they’d win at Anfield
It's petty, but quite easily I'd rather both teams win nothing. I could quite happily live without another FA Cup if it meant no glory for them once again.
The former 100 percent.
We'd get a week of bliss then the sky will fall in. Thread after thread slating Jose etc etc.
It wouldn't be worth it!
The weird thing is how easily some teams have stopped them in the league. I’d put my faith in Bayern or Real to have some tactical awareness and not to play into their hands. Even if it was us playing them in the final I’d be extremely confident.
I would absolutely take neither team winning a trophy. A second rate cup isn’t worth them having TWICE as many European cups as we do, not to mention moving into third in the number of clubs with European titles, behind only Milan and Madrid. That is a sickening thought, for them to be part of that top 3.
That's it, as long as they do that. But if Real play against them like they did say Spurs earlier in the competition, Liverpool will thrash them.
You need teams to show enough respect to change how they play to a certain extent, otherwise its all too easy for that front three.

Not funny and not even close.
Ha, I've asked myself this question. And as uneasy as I was about my decision, I did conclude that I could live without a 13th F.A Cup for the time being, if it meant that mob not getting their hands on a 6th European crown.
It's petty as anything, but everything about that club is nauseating.
Real are very much a changed side now Ronaldo has woken up.
Going in circles, just to sum it up: firstly, City have better squad and players individually. Secondly, as of late they have been better in Europe. Thirdly and finally, nobody knows the future but we are both sure we are right. City are out of CL already and Pool are almost in the final. Despite this, I bet that scousers will not win it this season. If there is any Pool fan here that sure that they have a good chance than they can bet on them. The loser of the bet fecks off from the CAF. No poster will take this bet though.

We are already joint 3rd in that list.
I would rather lose the Cup final then watch them lift the CL....Ofcourse it would be great to end the season with the Cup,but it wouldn't be a catastrophe if we lost.We won the Cup just 2 years ago,we won 2 trophies last season,we could finish 2nd this season and we"ll definitely be in the hunt for more silverware next season.
But them winning a 6th CL title is a catastrophe in my eyes.It was terrible watching them win in 2005 and this will be even worse...And a CL success under a manager like Klopp will give them the belief to compete for the title...A defeat on the other hand will end up making them look like the nearly men again...
I would rather lose the Cup final if it means that they lose the CL final....
Once Liverpool are done winning the CL, the mods have to take a look at this thread and whoever cheered Liverpool needs to be banned from the RAWK goes in to Meltdown thread so that they don't spoil the fun for the rest of the normal folks around here.
United will be 3 CL's behind Liverpool. Can already see them laughing and teasing that United are only half as good as Liverpool.
Some of them might even be deciding if they want to use their thumb, index, pinkie or the dreaded middle finger on the other hand to show number 6

They are winning it aren't they? Ugh such a horrible thought.

All good points, City has a better squad but to go from there to be a genuine favorite, it's another step. fecking Liverpool, they shouldn't be even close to winning the CL.
Yeah, just have a RAWK meltdown thread full of members who wet the bed when Liverpool win a semi final.
I hate Pool with passion. And the mere fact that they have done this far deep into CL makes my blood boil even more due to the fact that they have achieved this with their paper-thin squad. In fact all top teams in Europe are under transition/decline this season, so it was a perfect opportunity for Utd to nick it. We made a massive feck up of our tie against Sevilla.
Here’s the thing, the closer they get and let’s face it they are now in the final, the closer they get to having won it 6 times. Call yourself a united fan ffs.
If the scousers win there is a great cull coming
No shit, Sherlock. Read the whole context ffs before ffs'ing. Now, before you "ffs" next time and question how much of a fan I am from your high pony, here is the hint. The whole debate was about City or Pool. I said I'd prefer Pool , as they are more likely to fail in the final. Now, here's the main thing. It would be great to have United there instead of Pool but we fecked up. We should have done better when it mattered, instead of dreading Pool's win.
Here’s the logic
We’d rather city get put out because they have pep&money
Or we’d rather Liverpool get put out because they are our arch enemies and on the verge of winning number 6, double our loot
I really don’t get the logic of people like you who’d rather Liverpool get to a final because they’re sure to be beaten then. That’s the gist of it right? Because that warped thinking is how it reads to everyone else
And I don't even know how they are sure Liverpool will fail in the Final. Sure, the odds may favor that happening but anything could happen on that day. And their front 3 can match any team in Europe at the moment.
Going in one more circle before I quit: if City got past Pool, I'd think that they have more chances of winning the whole thing. The reasons are their players, their manager, the depth of the squad. On other hand we have Pool, who are brilliant at the moment but play with a certain style and are hugely dependent on Salah. Also their squad depth is paper thin and they have difficulties with teams which are patient enough to do defending properly and can switch to counter-attack in a blink of an eye. So yes, I believe that chances of Pool of winning the whole thing are much less than if it were City in their place.
Let me put it s different way; worst case scenario. If city won it would be their first, no one cares they’re a plastic club who will fade when pep quits again. They have no history
If Liverpool win it will be number 6, making them 3rd in the table for most euro wins behind Madrid and Milan
I really don’t get people getting hung up on city, they’re a plastic club, fake
