Really proud of the lads tonight.

Everyone knew the chance of us qualifying was almost impossible after the first leg result, and we well and truly put the crap up Chelsea FC tonight.

Really proud of our players, and our fans at Stamford Bridge tonight were superb, singing their hearts out and sucking the ball into the back of the net.

I would hate to be associated with Chelsea FC. Booing your own players at half time when you are on course to the semi finals of the European Cup? Compare that to our fans singing You'll Never Walk Alone at half time.

I'm still in shock at this match though, what a great game of football for the neutral.

I was playing BBALL and saw the score on my celly... I almost ****. Just go thome to see 2-2!!!
I'm just going to turn it off.

Look at this lads, great football supporter here.

Incredible match that. Some indifferent Liverpool defending was, for me, the difference tonight as I felt without the defensive mistakes we could have gotten through, still a great performance and the lads did themselves proud tonight.

And drogba flopping around on the floor... What a friggin sissie, makes me laugh that Chelsea fans have the cheek to accuse Torres of being unsporting with Drogba pulling stunts like that. I hope that Barcelona put them out in the next round for that. No bitterness towards Chelsea in general tonight, but someone really does need to teach Drogba that football is a Man's game, the sooner he and ronaldo are out of the English game the better IMO

LOL. Don't get a head of yourself... I clearly watched the rest of the game look at my other comments

I wouldn't gloat, your guys are going out tomorrow to a weaker side and in less sensational way :p

Must be nice to be able to see the future, could've told your team that they aren't even going to qualify.

Edit: Nice both liverpool fans taking jibes at chelsea instead of graciously accepting defeat.

This is why the CL thread is the best thread on Neowin :p

As a neutral I was jumping up and down and some challenges and getting infuriated at others, was just a great game I can't remember another game like it well actually Liverpool vs Newcastle one where Collymore scored...I am sure Martyn knows the one I am on about.

I accept the defeat I just don't accept that Drogba's sad antics have any place on a modern football pitch. The guy is a freakin' disgrace.

It's just a different culture / playing style. There is no difference between what Drogba/Ronaldo do and when Gerrard stops and looks at the ref when he's blocked off yet could keep running. It is just highlighting a foul to the ref and asking for the free kick as opposed to advantage. Lots of players do things to highlight contact / fouls but it's only the players who go down that take the flack for some unknown reason.

You missed half of the fun ;)

My only jibe at Chelsea has been at their embarrassing fans at the match tonight. If you think I am not being gracious in defeat, you need to learn to interpret statements.

Those two 4-3 games with Newcastle back in the day where amazing :)

He wasn't highlighting a foul, because no free kick was given in his favour, he was just feigning injury to waste time, when there was clearly nothing at all wrong with him.

Also, I don't see why you are picking Gerrard out, in terms of the Premier League he is one of the most honest players going, and too much of a gentleman to knowingly cheat.

Amazing free kick... I almost died when I saw it.

Power more than anything took it in. As with Liverpool's free kick though, you have to call the positioning of the keeper into question, if he is in the center of his goal he saves it. 2 mistakes from Reina tonight, kinda disappointing from a keeper of his experience.

Also, cech despite being a great keeper looked really nervous, wonder if that head injury has done him some psychological damage.

I wouldn't say he's the most honest, plenty of players haven't dived or been booked for diving (You do know Gerrard has?)

I never said he was the most honest, but one of the more honest players going. I don't recall having seen him dive, and I know he isn't like that by nature, even so there is a difference to once or twice in a career to multiple times per match

Gerrard has been known to dive mate.

Although 'going down rather easily' may be more appropriate wording.

great game but the only terrible thing I can say is that how ridiculous was it for Chelsea fans seeing Drogbra rolling around like a little baby? Even after the replays it still makes me laugh. Either way was a great game and I support Liverpool all the way! They played well You'll Never Walk Alone

When Man Utd get put out tomorrow I won't even visit this topic :p

I may support them, but are they hell beating Porto at their home ground in their current form. If Ferdinand doesn't start I can foresee another embarrassing defensive showing.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
