    Next Saturday at a quarter to eight from Kiev, Ukraine.

    Continuing on the regal theme, will Liverpool cement their place as part of the football royalty of Europe against Zidane's Royal Madrid?

    Liverpool go for their sixth win in the Champions League/European Cup. A win will make them the third most successful club in this competition. The Spaniards have won it 12 times already.

    P.S. Have you ever seen a mackem in Milan? Thought not.

    It's going to be a cracking game I reckon. I've gone for Royal Madrid as I just think they are a big game team and know how to win. Liverpool have got a very decent chance though if everyone turns up like they can.

    I don't think this one is going to end 0-0. Liverpool have been great to watch going forward this season. They've got to get after Madrid from the start.

    Real Madrid should win but I think Liverpool like spoiling the party. I don’t think Real Madrid will like their full throttle football.

    So I think it will be an upset with Liverpool going 3-0 up before holding off a late surge to win 3-2

    Agree I think Liverpool's best tactic is go out there to really rattle them and start fast. They won't be used to it.

    Depends who scores the first goal. If Liverpool score they can go onto win it. If Real Madrid score expect it to be very one sided.

    Hoping for a Liverpool win. Always want the English teams to win in Europe.

    I'm really hoping Liverpool can shock everyone and take Real Madrid apart.

    Thanks for your support, boys. Who ****ing knows. It could be one of those 'written in the stars' matches. If we play to our best, we can win it. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm getting nervous as **** <laugh>

    One thing's for sure. It's got to be a better match than that ****e last Saturday. It surely couldn't be worse <laugh>

    Well you obviously weren’t listening to the commentary especially in the second half. That’s the trouble with all you so called football fans you prefer to watch a game to decide whether it’s a good game or not and not just listen to what the experts are telling you.

    <doh>

    Well seen as though it’s not the toon playing I’m gonna watch it in the boozer. Where’s decent in town for watching footy with plenty big screens nowadays? It’s been a while since I’ve been to town to watch a game on the tellybox :)

    What's to be sorry about?

    As I have no interest in the CL, I probably wont watch it, but if I hear on the news that Royal Madrid have won, I won't be disappointed.

    In fairness to Liverpool at least if they come for your players you know you are going to get a pay-out. They don't go for bargains!!

    Fat Sam’s tactics at Newcastle.

    Centre Backs launch ball forward, bypassing midfield, for our two giant strikers, Sicknote Owen and Twenty-Something Obafemi Martins.

    Pure joy to watch. Was really so sad when he left us to take up the simultaneous manager’s roles at Barcelona and Real Madrid.
