Match Day Thread 2017/18 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Agreed. But would you put Firmino central with Suarez left or vice-versa?

 

Arsenal are the only team in the English leagues that is yet to gain a point away from home in 2018

 

Taking this information into account would lead normal sensible people to wonder why Roma are allowed to play home games in European competition.
This article doesn't even take into consideration the stabbings pre-Champions League, like the 20+ stabbings after we beat them in the 84 final in Rome.

"Roma have a disturbing history of targeted violence against English football supporters.


At least half a dozen Liverpool fans were stabbed when the club played Roma in the UEFA Cup in February 2001.

Four Liverpool fans were stabbed when the two teams met again in Rome in the Champions League group stages the following season.

Three Middlesbrough fans were stabbed when the Teessiders travelled to Rome for a UEFA Cup tie in 2006, and five Manchester United fans were stabbed a year later when they played Roma in the Champions League.

A number of Manchester United fans were injured during clashes in the stadium and in the city when they played Roma in 2007
An Arsenal fan was stabbed in 2009 after a bus carrying Gunners fans to the Stadio Olimpico was ambushed.

And ahead of a Champions League group game earlier this season, Chelsea fans were attacked in an Irish pub by thugs wielding metal bars near Rome's iconic Coliseum."

And with a corrupt and ill informed police force releasing fake news that will knowingly stirr up **** and possibly put LFC supporters in more danger, let's hope our followers do us proud and return home safely.

"The messages Italian police are sending call into question whether they have the intelligence to deal with the problem. In the Rome newspaper Il Tempo on Saturday, Andrea Cecchini, president of Italy’s state police operation, blamed Merseyside for last Tuesday’s events. He criticised Liverpool for training at the Formello training base of Roma’s foes Lazio this week, and bizarrely claimed 1,000 Liverpool Ultras would be travelling this week."

 

I hate boxing - any sport where the aim of the game is to damage someone is morally wrong imo.
However, my dad boxed in the army and he taught me how to do it when I was a kid and too young to know better. Throwing a clenched fist isn't a punch, you're just as likely to damage your own hand as anyone else. Have to get your body behind it.

 

Send the link to UEFA. See if you get a reply.

 

**** that, they're as corrupt as the Italian coppers.

 

So the FA think fans shouldn't be booing Bong. Not that I like booing individual players but it seems the fans have a legitimate reason??

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43951753

Can't remember the FA saying anything when every club's fans booed and sang about Suarez following 'the incident'?

 

Bong was found not proven. Suarez was different wasn't it?

Terry was found not guilty in a court of law but fa ****ed him over.

They are a rule to themselves sadly. Corrupt as ****.

 

Difference is the FA found Suarez guilty so "he deserved it"

We'll have to see how they handle any booing of Holgate if he ever plays another professional game

 

Oh yeh I forgot, Suarez was guilty of everything

 

Watford are #officially the most inept team in the PL

Not really. The fans were booing a guy for reporting what he believed was racist comments and th panel have said that no evidence could be found but it was all in good faith.

Its ridiculous to boo a guy who believes he was subject to racist abuse, given theyre based in midlands where is a strong ethnic population, wonder how many of those fans have actually been in a similar situation.

 

Also bong was on the receiving end of the ‘racist abuse’

 

Watford keeper just hands Spurs the lead. Why can’t we have one of those when we really need it in these games!

 

Has Harry Kane scored?.

 

Like football fans think logically. How many times did Man Utd fans chant "you Scouse bastards" whist Rooney was their captain ffs

 

Harry Kane is a dirty player

 

Watford player was so concerned about checking if he was on or offside that slowed down so much that lloris could come tackle him

 

Tottenham are lucky so far
