The FA Cup vs United, when Cantona scored that goal.
The whole Souness era... especially selling Staunton and Beardsley in their prime.
Recently losing the World Club Championships, really wanted to win that comp. We totally dominated the final and how we lost it I'm not sure.

What from Liverpool's past still really pi$$es you off to this day, even though you should have forgotten about it ages ago? (don't say wimbledon 88 or arsenal 89). 
I'm with you on that. I remember buying the Mirror the next day and it absolutely bummed Cantona after his comeback. No mention of the mancs scraping a draw at home, no mention that it weren't a pen and I don't think we had any fans at that game either.

Haven't seen the goals from Athens on TV or anything since that night last May. Even Kuyt's goal. Don't really recall the game now. I know Pennant and Mascherano had blinders and it all just went wrong though.
The less I think of it the better. I thought we were robbed. The game was there to be won and luck wasn't on our side that night.
We'll go close if not win it again this year anyway.

I'm with you there St. we had everything that year, could have done the double, but for James,( bag of 
) and a really weak manager.
I know that Heysel was a tragedy, and the game shouldn't have continued, but thats probably my earliest recollection of LFC, (where i first considered them my team, yeah fck off i was a glory hunting little kid!) the penalty that never was, and stopped no.06, still pi55es me off.

Kewell having someone step on his foot and continued complaining to the ref instead of tracking back and picking up his man (Kaka) who then had the freedom to set up their second.
That still p1sses me off!

What I don't understand about that FA cup final is why none of the other players in front of the goal just stopped the ball with their hands and just take a sending off to keep us in the game. It's still frustrating.
Yeah I agree. Instead of doing anything they both ponced around on the line looking like retards.

this game is the first time i cryed over football i was heart broken
the way about half our team dove out of the way of cantana's shot was discraceful even as a kid at the time i understood that i would have throw everything at that ball, ball sack n all
and the worst was my best friends who were mancs lived next door and ran outside cheering, what counts, i cheer because i love my team and it makes me happy when they score, not so other people can hear me

I might get slated for this, but one of the most disgraceful things I've ever seen a Liverpool player do was when John Aldridge rubbed Brian Laws's head when he'd scored that own goal against us in the 1989 FA Cup final 'replay' against Forest at Old Trafford, after Hillsborough.
Aldo's behaviour could possibly be excused by getting caught up in the emotion of the time, but even when he did it I was celebrating the goal, and half a second later virtually hiding my head in my hands.
When Arsenal robbed us of the title at Anfield a few weeks later, Tony Adams went out of his way to go over to Aldridge and rub his head and say, 'This is for Brian Laws.'
I still can't respect Aldridge that much cos of what he did that day.

I was a young chap in 96, therefore I didn’t really appreciate football in it’s glory, though watching it several years later, highlighted every single problem with Liverpool under Roy Evans.
Catona’s goal in extra time highlighted the old cliché of ‘close but not close enough’ which blighted Evan’s short reign with the club.
There is a short 1:00 min clip of the final on you tube and I still can’t believe David James ever played for the club.
I was delighted when Houllier shipped him out and binned the cream suits and bought about change in the most ruthless manner.
As for your friend, he had every right to scream the house down, there’s nothing better than losing self control. I did a similar thing during #5.

people have serioulsy got there facts wrong about the 95/96 season on the subject of David James. He was superd that season and had over 20 clean sheets in all comps. It was not until the following season (96-97) that he started making the howlers, and he never recovered after that. He had great potential David James and superd shot stopping ability but he just lost it in the head in the 96/97 season.

the ones that still bug me are
1. Evans side not winning the tropheys they should have.
2. Champs league quarter final vs Leverkusen, are defence was first class at the time and went it all went to hell for that one game.
3. Never replacing Steve Mcmanaman
