I've never doubted that Liverpool had great teams in the 70s and 80s. You dominated English football then, and dominated in Europe for periods.

I just don't think you've ever had a great side in the modern Champions League format. It may be seen as a biased opinion but I think our team in 99 and 08, are the 2 best English sides that have played in the CL.

That's just my opinion on it though<ok>

Really yet Chelsea outplayed you in the second half in Moscow and only a bar and post saved you from defeat.

Aurier is a ****ing liability. Sanchez is a great one for the future and despite being only 21 had a reasonable game last night. But I’m hoping Toby will be back for the 2nd leg.

Alli played one of his best games in Europe for us last night.

Still yet to see Sanchez justify his price tag. I know he's a kid but his pace is his only saving grace.

Personally thought Alli was anonymous last night, only a simple pass into Kane (made so by horrendous defending).

If we’d have played for 90 mins instead of just 80, we’d have won it.

Meh, that's football.

Juve will think that they should have pressed on after 10 minutes and they'd have won it.

You obviously don’t watch Sanchez enough. He’s going to be a top CB. And as for price, Van Dick??

Dele was very good last night. His movement caused Juve a lot of problems.

We dominated virtually the whole game, and they were clinging on for a draw by the end. And that’s against a team that’s playing at home and been in 2 of the last 3 CL finals.

Yes you did outplay us in the 2nd half, but we completely outplayed you in the first half, and where sucker punched on the stroke of half time by an equaliser against the run of play. That match was a game of 2 halfs, we should have had you beaten by halftime, and you should have won it in the 2nd half. Extra time was quite even though.

Chelsea had a fantastic side back then, and where without doubt the closest side in Europe to us then. We just about had the edge on you though, as we proved by finishing ahead of you in the league, and we had an overall better record in Europe. We where the first side to win the CL, without losing a game home or away.

They tried to. They got absolutely dominated in midfield and couldn't deal with Dembele and Eriksen.
Juventus are happy to defend, but they couldn't get out of their half for most of the game.
They'd break up an attack, get pressed and lose the ball, over and over.

Umm I agreed with you about Kane? I reckon he will stay.

Yes it would take about 2 trophies a year for the next decade for you to get close to Real Madrid/United level of size. I have embraced the reality of football, every club is a feeder club bar Real/Barca.

Sky will have first choice of every weekend match and will also show Saturday night fixtures (19:45) for the first time.

BT will show Saturday lunchtime fixtures from August 2019 and have said they will pay £295m per season - £9.22m per match, up from £7.6m - across the three years.

That means Sky have committed to £3.579bn - or £9.3m per game, down from £10.8m in the current deal.

They can eff off if they think they are doing
fixtures like Toon vs Bournemouth at those times.

I was going to suggest local(ish) derby games
only, but in London I doubt the Met will grant
permission to have those games played.

They can **** off with their Sat night games altogether as far as I’m concerned.

I’m virtually always out Sat night with the lady and friends.
 
I honestly don't think it will be that long before PL games will be all on the tele, and will all be shown in the evening. Give it another 10-15 years and I can see them bringing it in.

They won't keep the games at 3 when they start televising them, as this would finish off lower division and non league football. As hardly any ones gonna go and watch a non league game when Man Utd v Liverpool, or Arsenal v Chelsea is on the tele.

This is what goes on in Italy and Spain already, all their games are on in the evening, so Sky and other broadcasting company's can make as much money as possible from showing them.

Anyone who goes to the games will understandably not want to hear this, but I just think it's something that will inevitably happen. As the money clubs recieve from fans attending is a fraction of what Sky and BT Sport are throwing in their direction.

I'm not saying I will agree with it, but I do think it will happen.
 
Is it the weed or has everything changed on the website?

The Betting Board?

People without Avatars are not looking Maroon but Green?

The Spanish schedule's actually worse than that, in my opinion.
Take this weekend's fixture list as an example.

It starts with a Friday night game, which kicks off at 9pm local time.
Then you have four fixtures on Saturday. 12 noon, 4.15pm, 6.30pm and 8.45pm.
Sunday has another four at the same times as Saturday, then there's a Monday night game, which kicks off at 9pm, like the Friday game.

They're all spaced out, so you could watch the lot, if you wanted to.
