Rare MicCanberra Posted May 8, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Seeing as Liverpool is through to the Champions League Final in Madrid. I am wondering if there are any cruisers attending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bull Posted May 9, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Getting from Liverpool to Madrid is an extremely difficult journey if your previous visit to Spain left you three goals down. And almost impossible to get there from north London if you've only got 45 minutes to claw back a similar deficit. But waddaya know - both teams managed it. Two cracking edge-of-the-seat semi-finals, and now looking forward to an all-English* final JB * well, English teams at least, if not players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted May 9, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Yeah, they really are international teams in English club livery. If the final is half as exciting as either of those wo games, it will be a good game. Hopefully, Liverpool will come out on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted May 9, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Arsenal vs Chelsea in the EUFA cup final, I wonder if this is the first time in history that one league has fielded all the finalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi13 Posted May 10, 2019 #5 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Affirmative, first time in history the 4 finalists have been from the same country. Got our seats booked at the local pub for the match on June 1st.🙂🍺 Rangers thumping Celtic on Sunday will be an end to a great week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, we are still paying for the bid, every junior soccer player has a $10 levy with their registration fees and senior players have a $30 fee still. Talk about screwing the supporters.

Talk about screwing the supporters. We got it in 2026, along with the US & Mexico, but Vancouver doesn't get any games thanks to our Provincial Government not accepting the FIFA conditions. Closest venues to us are Seattle & Edmonton. Still shaking my head over Russia & Qatar getting 2018/2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidi13 Posted May 12, 2019 #16 Share Posted May 12, 2019 OMG! What a day of football. Up at 04:00 for Rangers V's Celtic, great result for the boys in blue as Rangers won easily.🙂 Next match was Liverpool V's Wolves. Liverpool 1 up and shortly afterwards they switched to Brighton for there goal. The day is getting even better. Sadly we got 4 more updates from Brighton, none of them positive.

Rare MicCanberra Posted May 14, 2019 Author #21 Share Posted May 14, 2019 They started well but couldn't sustain the effort. I was hoping Matt Ryan would do the heroics and save everything to help Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately Cardiff's results were worse, so it's they who dropped into the abyss. BTW, I've always had a healthy dislike of Liverpool. Partly cos we're both port cities but mainly cos of the way Liverpool have been unsettling and poaching our best players. Van Dyke, Mane, Lallana, Clyne, Schneiderlin, etc. After they were hammered in the first leg at Barca, I was looking for them to take a pasting at Anfield, but they fought back so well that I was actually cheering for them. But I'm still pleased that they lost out in the race for the Premiership, and hopefully it'll be another 19 years before they win it. Watford for the Cup? More begging required.

I want to cheer against Liverpool. But I also want to cheer against Spurs. Although I think Liverpool will win, I'll stick to cheering against them. It wasn't Spurs'fault that Poch deserted Southampton, Southampton wasn't big enough for his ambitions. And now according to the media it seems that Spurs aren't either JB ps I haven't forgotten about Gareth Bale either. But that was Southampton's style - had (note the use of the past tense) a great academy, found and nurtured talent, but then kept selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
